No Damage to the Sheds and Abattoir
Yesterday afternoon about quarter
past two O'Clock Watchman Mann dis
covered the hay house of the Central
Stock Yard and Transportation Company
at the foot of Sixth street to be on fire.
An alarm was Sc Mt out from box 25l, on
Payonia avenue, by some or the EN-
Dloyes Of the Erie grain elevator and the
firemen in response went there, thus
causing a delay They soon found out
where it was and went over to II. In the
meantime the fire blazed out from all
sides and it looked for while as II the
whole place were afre. Three tWoS were
sent i'll from box l3l, on olAtn street. near
the gas house.
When the firemen got TO the dock the
water in the river was too low to admit
of suction, so the firemen had to couple
on to the hose Of the lire tugs and boats
which were unable TO get near enough TO
the fire to prove OF service owing TO the
block in the basin by canal boats.
Over one hundred and fifty tons of hay
were in the building, and the flames
looked very threatening. but owing 20 the
fact that the sides and top OF the building
were covered with corrugated iron, they
did not spread to the sheds and aba ttoir,
where men were gathering the cattle to-
notice.
AT the Erie grain elevator the employees
from the windows kept streams playing
upon the building till all danger was
past.
IL is estimated that fully 10000 persons
witne- sed the fire. The cattle sheds,
canal boats and tressles were black with
people.
