Cotton Mill Damaged-A Blaze
In Virginia.

New YORK, April 16.-BroadwaY and Bea-
yer streets at Bowling Green are piled high to.
day with hundreds of cotton bales thrown
blazing from the windows of the warehouse
No: Beaver street, which caught fire early
this morning. The building is five stories
high and extends In an L around to No. 6
Broadway. 1t was recently bought with all
the houses in the west end of the block by
the Produce Exchange and the tenants were
ordered out by May 1st. VIM. II. Smith
was the lessee of the building and occupied
all the floors as cotton warehouse. The
fire broke out on the fourth floor, apparently
by spontaneous combustion, In twenty bales
of cotton belonging to Woodward & Still
man that had been stored there since
last September. In spite of the difficulties
attending cotton fire, the flames were sup
pressed IN two hours by deluging the build
ing with water from roof to cellar. The
chief damage was done in this manner The
total loss is estimated at about $15, 900. Fully
insured
A fire broke out this evening in the great
iron front building, No. 26 White street.
When the flames were discovered the en-
gines were summoned, but when they ar
rived the second and third floors of mum
bers "a and 26 were on fire, and the fremen

complished 1t quickly however,
and saved the building, but
by the sacrifice of large quantity OF valua-
bic goods in the process Of drowning out
fire. The building is six stories high. The
five upper floors are occupied by Miller,
Shire q Co., manufacturers of shirts. The
first floor is shared by the firms of Rufus
Frost q Co., dealers in wooden goods,
and Alex. Rhind, linen and jute.
The damage to these two firms
was altogether by water and was estimated
at $25, 900 in the case of Rufus Frost q Co.,
and in the case Of Alexander Rhind SIS 900.
The loss sustained by Miller, Shire g. Co.
by ire and water was put by the police at
$5O, 900, but $780, 900 will probably more than
cover it. The building Is the property of
j. Slade. 1t was damaged to the amount OF
$4,000.
