New YoRK, April 10--The biggest and

North river clear to.6ay from Fitty-ninth
street to what would he Six;y-s,xth street, il
that street ran to tho river 1t DESTROYED
more than 81. 100000 worth Of property
belonging to the New York Central railroad.
md at least $5OO,OOO worth of lard, Hour
and the like belonging to other per-
sons, notably N. X. Fairbanks, the
great Chicago lard merchant The flames
destroyed tho two big elevators, A and B, of
the Vanderbilt system, big brick building
stretching from Fifty ninth street to Sixtieth
street. ami occupied Jointly by the Fairbink
Lard refinery and tho Rossiter stores, and
wiped out the dock property of tho New
York Central railroad system from Fifty
ninth street to past Sixtieth street At least
one man was killed in his headlong flight
from the fire at the first outbreak. A number
werc injured jumping from windows of tho
burning building, but in tho wild terror of
the conttagration, no account was kept OF
them. The police have record of tho fol-
lowing casualties:
Henry Bcnning. single, workmrn in Fair.

by the heat.
RUMoRs OF CASUALTIEs.
Rumors were rife all the evening that a
number Of workmen had been caught and
burned in tho Fairbanks refinery, but it has
been thus far impossible TO ascertain the
truth of them. At lcast u quarter of mill
ion people turned out to watch the brilliant
sight from beyond the police lines on Twelfth
avenue. All the West side streets ore blocked
and the elevated trims carried swarms up
and down town to swell the crowda
The police reserves were called
out to preserve order. Livery
fire engine above Fourteenth street was
called out in the work OF extinction, but the
fremen fought against tremendous odds,
owing to the reslstless rush of the fiames
and because of the conformation OF the
ground in the locality, which is upon a
rugged slope from higher ground to the
Hudson river. The fire brok, out in
the southrast corner of the Fairbanks re-
fnery. where workmen were busy at the time
setting up lard-c0olin & apparatus, when
the fire started-how, no one knows, prob
ably no one ever will know. Soaked in grease
ms the old building was, it as afame in an
instant From the ground floor the fire
swept upward to the roof, almost with the
speed Of thought. The men at work in
every story dropped their tools and ran to
save their lives The staircases formed q
glowing chimney, throwing out fire through
every floor. The windows presented the
only means Of escape.
