highest degree is unquestioned.

THE FIRE RECORD.

A Big Blaze at New YOrk-TxvO Fire
 men Killed-LOss Over 246O,OO0. NEW YORK, Feb. 20. O.-Shortly after o'clock fire broke out in the basement of the i've story marble front building Nos. 3s4 and 3s6 Broadway, which was occupied by Dickerhof 6 Co.,, importers of silks and dry goods 1; Hagen, Todd & Co.,, silk goods and notions and Wilder, Jr., & Co.,, clothing. The build ing has 8 frontage of fifty feet on Broadway and extends back to Courtlandt alley, dis tance of about TO feet. Owing to the in- dsmmable nature of the stock the flames made rapid headway and in few minutes the entire building was wrapped In flames. Alarms were sent out calling for the re- serves of the fire department from all the lower districts, but despite the ex- ertions of the fremen, the whole building and it's contents were destroyed. During the progress of the fire Thomas J. Dougherty and John F. Cassidy, two iremen attached to hook and ladder company No. l, lost their lives by the caving in of the roof. Their bodies were carried down with the debris and up to a late hour their remains had not been recovered. Several other firemen belonging to the same company received severe injuries The losses are as follows: Hagen, Todd & O., $175, ,OOO; Dickerhof $ Co.,, $15O, ,0OO; |; Wilder $ Co.,, $15O, 1000. The building, which is owned by the Remssn estate, was damaged $50, 900. The buildings Mo- 392 and 388 and contents were damaged $2O, 900 by fire and water. Most of the losses are covered by in- surance. Dougherty was looked upon as one of the bravest fremen in the department. He was recently presented with the Bennett medal for bravery.
