Serious Fire I'm jersey City.
MANY BUILDINGS DESTROYED AND WHARF PROPERTY

JERSEY CITY, N. j., May Sat $3.50 this morning
a tire broke out In the coOperage establishment OF
Christopher Heidi Son, at Nos. 80 and 81 Hudson
street, which spread and destroyed four buildings,
causing a loss Of $4,000. The nrenen, finding
that they could not conquer the flames, devoted
their energies 10 preventing the fire from reaching
the shops and tenement house close at hand.
The buildings reach almost to the river
front, and there was danger that the fire
would reach the vessels moored at the docks, but
from them. The buildings destroyed were those
Of Christopher Heidi & Son, Theodore smith &
Bro, boiler-makers; b. Mclaughlin, boiler-maker,
and R. j. Mallory, blacksmith. The saloon OF Mrs.
Boyland was partially destroyed. The losses are
Heidt Son, SIS, 900; Smith & Bro, $4,000; Nc
Laughlin, $500; Mrs BOyland, q, 100. The origin

II Mis-, Endicott Engaged,


GROWING BELIEF IN WASHINGTON THAT Mr. CHAMBER
LAIN Is AN ACCEPTED sUITOR-
AWashingtOn special to the New York Herald
says: Although there has been no formal an
nouncement by Miss Endicotts family Of her en-
gagement to the Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, N. p,
yet the report is now believed to be true
Since the statement OF Mr.. Chamberlain's en-
gagement has been SO many times reiterated in
English newspapers, people here have been look
ing at certain social events OF last winter with
retrospective glass. II is recalled
that very early in January the re-
port OF his marked attentions 10
Miss EndicOtt had already aroused the belief
that friendship was ripening Into an engagement.
The announcement that marriage would un-
doubleday be the result OF their acquaintance was,
curtously enough, cabled TO Europe, and by the
time the report came back In print tie rumor was
already the topic In high official circles.
From the very best source that could be desired
your correspondent learns that the night Mr..
Chamberlain left Washington he called upon q
lady in Official life to say farewell and with some
Significance, as though he wished ner 10 draw con-
clusions, he said: II shall return TO Washington
in June. Upon my return will make an extended
tour OF the British possessions and The Northwest.
l shall often visit the United States"
Last week a friend made an informal call upon
Mrs. EndicOtt, and she herself alluded to the
newspaper gossip concerning her daughter and
Mr.. Chamberlain, and, while not denying the truth
OF such reports she spoke OF them as embarrassing
and annoying.
No one understands the reticence Of the family
on this subject, but June wedding is expected.
