BLOCK OF TENEMENTs DESTROYED,

Making 40 Families Homeless and,
Marrow Escapes from Death-Big Fac
tory Reduced to Ashes and Extensive
Dry Docks DamaSed-Fire Department
Calls for Help.
New York, May 21.-Twice last night
fire visited Hoboken, N. J., and the loss
was heavy. One whole block was re-
duced to ashes, 140 families were rem
dered homeless and a big factory was
destroyed. The Hoboken fire depart
ment was totally unable to cope with
the flames, and help was summoned
from every portion OF Hudson county.
Later in the night the big dry docks at
Seventeenth street caught fire. The first
fire broke out at $50 in the big factory
building in the block bounded by Thir-
teenth and Twelfth streets and Wash
ington and Hudson streets. From the
factory the flames leaped to the apart
ment houses on the block, and they
were swept away. The factory was oc-
cupied by Strauss & Co. (R. H. Macy &
Coz cut glass and similar lines; GAL
lagher & Palmer, toilet articles and
mirrors, and Benton & Heath, wall pa
per manufacturers. On either side Of
the factory were apartment houses.
There were fourteen Of the double flats,
each one of the buildings being valued
at $4,000.
Tenants Had Close Calls for Life.
The factory building, with it's con-
tents, Is estimated to have been worth
over quarter Of a million. The entire
fire departments of Union Hill, West
Hoboken and Weehawken responded to
call for help, as we'll as three engines
from Jersey City. Despite this big ag-
gregation of fire engines the flames
spread with terrific fury. The occupants
of the apartment houses saved but little
Of their household effects. A police
man carried out two children from one
Of the houses after they had been for
gotten in the flight Of the other occu-
pants. A dying woman was rescued
from one of the buildings after the fire
had reached the bed clothing, but she
was not harmed.
Extensive Dry Docks Take Fire.
About 10:30, while the big fire was al
its worst, fire broke out in the big dry
docks Of Tietgen & Lang, at the foot
of Seventeenth street. The docks were
boats which the tugs could not reach in
time to save were destroyed. The prop
erty loss is estimated by Chief Engineer
Applegate, Of the Hoboken fire depart
ment, to be $3.50, 1000.

COURT HOUSE GOES UP IN SMOKE.
Janitor Sets It on Fire and All the Record.
Are Probably Burned.

Wheeling, W. Va, May 21.-A special
to The Intelligencer from Elkins, W.
Va, says: Randolph county, the largest
county in the state, is without a court
house. The building, which was a large
brick one, was completely ruined by
fire yesterday afternoon. 1t was To-
Gated at Beverly, seven miles south of
this city. The janitor was burning up
the garbage in the closets located in the
Easements, and saturated the refuse
with four or five gallons Of lamp oil,
and touching match to it left the
building and 1t was soon in flames.
All the official records of the county,
which is over 100 years old, are con-
tained in the vaults, and the general
impression is that they are not secure
enough to resist the fierce and extreme
ly hot flames. The building was a new
one and Of very fine material. The loss
Of the building and furniture will ag-
gregate $4,000 with no insurance.
