New YORK. June 14.-Fire DESTROYED
one-third of the block of business
houses bounded by Broadway. Pearl,
Elm and Duane streets this afternoon.
Nothing Of the large stock Of goods
was saved. The buildings were gutted.
some walls fell, and for long time the
firemen could not make any impression
on the flames. which had colnbustible
matter to feed upon. A damage esti-
mated at So. 600, 600 was caused.
The fire began really in the center of
group of buildings. which lie in the
form of slanted I. with the foot on
Elm street, and the wings on Duane
and Pearl streets. Vernon Bros,
the principal losers, owned their FIVE.
story building on Duane street, at No.
IS. which is on top of the L. but they
rented Easements under the Elm street
buildings, and all were in communi-
cation by passages and doors. Paper
was the stock in trade also of Koch
Sons & Co., whose building formed the
top of the I, emerging at No. 645 OH
that street. They occupied the two
lower stories of that building and floors
in adjoining buildings. where they en-
pioyeu nearly 200 girls in making
blank books, albums, etc. fortunately
the hour was early, and few OF the
girls had arrived. Those who did got out
safely. Among the principal losers by
the fire are: Vernon Bros. u Co.,
paper box manufacturers: American
Calcium Light company; Julius Ber-
acker & Co.. upholsterers' hard.

sand People Homeless.
Colon, June 14.-Later dispatches
from Panama show that the fire in that
city yesterday was much more destruc-
tive than was at first reported. The
facilities for fighting the flames. it ap-
pears. were very limited. The water
supply apparatus was practically use
less, and the efforts of the FIRE depart
ment could only be directed to keep
ing the fire within the smallest possible
space. The flames, assisted by brisk
wind. spread very rapidly, and large
number of buildings were destroyed be-
fore their advance was stayed. The
property destroyed includes two blocks
of houses extending from the railroad
Office to the governors palace and east
of the Gale Damas. None of the prop
erty of the Panama Railroad company OF
the canal company was burned.
Many of the buildings destroyed were
occupied as dwelling houses, and
thousand persons are temporarily with
out homes. Efforts are being made to
care for these people. many OF whom
have been rendered helpless by the
catastrophe that has oyertaken them.
1t is estimated now that the property
losses will foot up s2,000,o00, but the
confusion is so great that II is still toe
early to give positive statement.
