A CONFEDERATION IN JERSEY CITY.
The Monarch Line Steamship Books and
Erie Railway Property nestroved

Erie Railway Property Destroyed.
JERSEY CITY, N. j., March 9.-Over
S6oo,oo0 worth of property was destroyed
by fire in this city Monday morning. The
contagration started in the docks of the
Monarch Line Steamship company, and
soon spread to the extensive property of
the Erie Railway company First the
capacious passenger depot was attacked ;
next the car shops were enveloped and were
quickly consumed The employees, aided by
several locomotives, transported much of
the valuable rolling stock beyond the reach
OF harm. With inconceivable speed the fire
spread to the ferry-h house and menaced a
boat in the slip and the adjacent shipping,
but several tugs We're soon on the scene and
towed them to places safety.
The fire communicated with train of oil
cars on the New York, Lake Erie & West
ern railroad, near the pier and one of them
exploded in great jet Of flames All efforts
to check the fire among the cars proved un-
avaLing, and car after car exploded with
terrific reports. Before the entire train was
on fire a locomotive lacked down from the
yard and drew some of the cars out of dan
ger. The fre-boats Zophar Mills and Have
meyer and several tugs belonging to the
Erie and Pennsylvania Railroad companies
ran as close to the fire as possible and poured
streams of water on the flames 1t was
mainly through the work of the tugs,
aided by line of hose on the dock, that the
ferry house was saved each time that it
caught
Several ocean vessels narrowly escaped
destruction, The steamship Grecian Mon
arch was lying at the pier preparing TO start
on her trip across the ocean Tuesday The
flames quickly spread to the steamer before
any successful att. mpts could be even set in
motion to remove hpr from her periious po-
sition, The vessel is not seriously damaged
