THE NEW YORK FIRE.
Damage Not rs Large rs First Reported

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-The damage by last
nights fire on Broadway was not as great
as was at first supposed, Hermann's
Theatre not being completely destroyed.
The rumored less Of life by the fire is also

Ose was injured. Crowds gathered. as soon
as the sun was up. around the scene OF the
last nights Broadway blaze, and
all the morning the neighborhOOd
has been filled with people, who
gszed curiously on the ruins OF the
Fifth Ayeaue Theatre, and watched the
engines pour streams Of water on the burn
ing embers. The slackened walls OF the
building were left standing. The thickness
OF the walls Of the Fifth Avenue Theatre
saved from complete destruction Hermann's
piay-house, and also saved the entire block
between Twenty-eighth and Twenty-ninth
streets. Opposite the Theatre, on the north
east corner OF Twenty-ninth street, the
sturtevant House showed the effects OF the
blaze, for the rooms In the northwest corner
of the mansard roof were burned out, and
the roof itself at that corner was gone. No
other part Of the hotel was damaged except
W water, and the part which was touched
by the fire included only eight rooms, from
which guests had ample time to escape.
One OF the guests in the hotel said this morn
