FIREMEN HELPLESS.
Flames Went Up the Elevators and
Had 1t All Their Own Way.
HALF A MILLION LOST BY A BIG
BLAZE IN BROOKLYN.

Smith Gray g. Co.'s Eight Story Block and
Several Other Structures Destroyed
Elevated Railroad Tracks Tumbled
Over Under the Great Clock Tower
Joseph jefferson, the Actor, Among
tho Losers-Firemen Badly Hurt.
Brooklyn, February 2s.--About half a
million dollars worth Of property burn
ed here today. About 1 o'clock this
afternoon, fire was discovered in the
cellar of the large establishment of Smith
Gray & Company on Fulton and Flatbush
avenues. The building was an eight
story structure. Two elevator shafts
created draft that carried the flames to
the upper stories, .oncupied by the Flat
bush storage company, and filled
with household furniture. Not having
any water towers, the firemen were un-
able to send streams to the top of the
building, and at 4.30 the entire building
was destroyed. The building was con-
structed of Nova Scotia stone, iron and
brick, and had a frontage of 176 feet and
depth of SO feet. The lcock tower was
1876 feet high. This fell at 3.42, striking
the south track of the Kings county ele-
vated structure, and carrying down about
so feet Of track. A portion of station
stairs leading up to the platform. Traf-
fic on the road was suspended.
The building was owned by Millard
Smith and w. G. Randolph, principals of
the firm of Smith, Gray & Co., and who
also constitute the Fulton & Flatbush
Storage Company. The building was
valued at 5000, 900, insured for $175,000,
and $4,000 in rents. The stock of
Smith,. Gray 6 Co. was insured for
S15O,00O, considerably less than its
value. In the storage portion of the
building, the loss will reach 100000;
largely covered by insurance. The fire
extended to the three-story brick build
ing on Nevins street, owned by Joseph
Jefferson. the actor, and occupied by }.
W. Tillottson as a boarding and livery
stable. This was Quilted, entailing loss
of $4,000 on the building and $40, 900 on
Gray s. Co.'s building on Fulton
street, were five four-story brick
buildings owned by the Cox estate. Tho
first was occupied by William Fl. Cooper,
Jr., pictures and frames, and was de
stroyed, loss SIS, 200. The next build
ing was occupied by John G. Greenwall,
paints, and was sgutted. The other three
were all more Or less damaged. Several
small dwellings were slightly damaged.
The loss on the elevated railroad struc-
tare is $4,000. Charles Shay, foreman
of truck No. g. fell from a ladder and
had his skull fractured. Fireman James
Mallen was struck by a portion of the
falling building and sustained frac-
tured leg. How the fire originated is
not known.

THE EMPERoR's BLUNDER.

Europe Laughing at Williams Story of
Sir Francis Drake.
LONDON, February 27.-The excite
ment and displeasure that has been very
generally felt at the Emperor of Germa-
ny's somewhat medieval speech at the
Brandenburger dinner has been enliv-
ened by laughter at the extraordinary
mistake his majesty made in attributing
the discovery of the Pacific Ocean to the
English adventurer Sir FrancisIDrake in
stead of the Spanish Conquistador Vasco
NunezIDe, Balboa. The German papers are
hilarious over it in subdued way, and
even in Austria paper suggested eau
tiously, as becomes the press in despotic
countries, that the imperial address was
imbued with a tinge of exclusiveness,
not altogether in touch with modern
ideas. Of course the German Liberal
papers avow their dissent from the doc
trines put forward in the speech, but the
Berlin papers must-speak softly as the
law stiles criticism.

HAS STRUCK A sNAG.
Parsons Meets Difficulties in His Big
i Railroad Deal.

NEwHAvEN, Conn, February 2s.-Tha
Union says today: A snag has beeu
struck in the big New York & New Eng
land Railroad deal, and it is not improb-
able that there will be some important
designations from the company's board
of directors soon. 1t is stated that Mr..
Parsons has become disappointed in his
project and has sold out his stock. 1t is
also stated that Austin Corbin who went
into the company with Parsons has, from
the start, practically ignored the latter
in the formation of the new executive
committee. There is a report that re-
cent talk about the New York & New
England's relations to the big Reading
coal deal has in it more of consequence
and profit to the Reading combine than
to the New York & New England itself.
The New York & New England is to be
subordinated to Reading interests. The
announcement from Boston that Corbin
proposes to put a blanket mortgage of
10000, 900 more upon the New York &c
New England property is said here to be
incorrect. The mortgage will not be
less than $40, 100000
