JERSEY CRY, n. j., July 24.-About
s o'clock this evening a most disastrous
fire broke out in the extensive machine
shops of the Erie Railway Company, al
Long Dock, covering the entire block Of
ground bounded by Eleventh, Twelfth
Provost and Meadow streets. The main
building was two stories high and tifty
feet deep. The remainder of the block
was covered with a one-story building
used as machine, boiler, blacksmith
pattern and carpenter shops. Twenty
five locomotives were in the main
building and two more outside awaiting
repairs. The fire broke out In the east
end of the building and spread with
great rapidity to all parts of it. A gen
eral alarm was sounded, but it soon be-
came evident that the entire structure
would be destroyed, and the efforts oil
the 6remen were directed to save the
freight depot and surrounding buildings,
in which they were successful. A stln
breeze was blowing, and it was only by
a great effort that the passenger and
freight depots, cars and other buildings
near the river were saved
Just an hour after the fire broke out
the roof aud side walls fell in with q
tremendous crash, and half an hour
later the front wall toppled over and
cane down on steamer No. 5, complete
ly buryiug it and instantly killing the
engineer, McCarty. Shortly after the
fire broke out one Of the carpenters,
name unknown, rushed into the build
ing to secure his tools. He was not
seen to come out and it is thought that
ne was suffocsted Considerable fear
was entertained that large boiler
would explode. As it became heated
the whistle commenced blowing and
continued for a quarter OF an hour.

from the safety valve. By ten o'clock
the entire structure, together with the
contents, were destroyed, including all
the books and papers Of the establish
ment and an immense amount OF valu.
able property. Tine loss is estimated
by com petent persons at over 81, ,OOO,-

engines destroyed will average from
$l2 90 to $4,000 each. Fully 600
men are thrown out Of employment by
the fire. The flames shot up to great
height, illuminating the sky for miles
around. Many thousands OF people
were present to witness the scene.

cient sympathies will be attended with

To which the President replied as
follows:
Marquis: 1 am happy to receive you
as q Minister of the French Republic.
We are confident not only that you will
endeavor to make yourself acceptable
but there is every reason to believe that
you will succeed in that effort. You
may be assured that on our part there
shall be nothing omitted which may
tend to make your stay here agreeable
to you. Your allusion to the origin and
depth of the friendship between the
people of our two countries is based
upon indisputable facts with which
your own name has agreeable associ-
stions. The instructions, with which
you say you have to cherish this senti-
ment, will, | trust, be easily carried
into effect. You may be certain that
l shall endeavor to facilitate them by
all the means which may be in my
power.
