| NEW YORK, January 3l.-The fire re-
ported as breaking out in the Times Office
originated in the building formerly occu-
pied by the New York World, in the same
block with the Times building, but sepa-
rated from it by an intervening building.
Strenuous effort are being made to save
the Times, but the fire is spreading rap
idly, and it is feared it can't be controlled
short OF the corner where tho Times
office is located. There is an uncon-
firmed rumor of the loss of several
lives. Ambulances are on the spot. There
is slight snow falling, but the air Is dry
and crisp, with a light breeze from the
north, which increases the difficulty of con-
trolling the fire. The block in which the
fire is burning is an irregularly shaped
gore, with the building formerly occupied
by the World on its southeastern corner,
and the Times building occupying the
entire northern angle Of the gore. The
Tribune Office is diagonally across
Nassau street from the Times
building. the Sun Office is on
the upper corner of the same
block with the Tribune. The fire has been
burning fiercely for an hour, taking hold in
the top of the buildings. ;. lr8neus Prime
sends the following note TO the Associated
Press "The New NoIk Observer has been
burned out and this week issue will be de
layed" The Observer Oilice was at No. 81
