A BIG CONFEDERATION.
The Magnificent Pennsylvania

shed and the river, including the passen-

approaches to the ferries, and all the
rooms and buildings included, has gone
UP in flame and smoke, and where
they stood is now huge black va

of wood, as drv as tinder, and it was
certain that if fire ever got any

ing. and for three hours fed upon and
doomed the big structure that once oc-
cupied this immense yawDing gap.
No fatalities or serious accidents have
been reported, but the damage to the
railroads property NAV run up to $75,-
900.
All of the incoming trains were stop
ped three blocks away from the station,
and passengers were obliged to stay in
Jersey City or walk or ride to other fer
ries. as no boats were run from the Penn
sylvania slip after the fire was under
headway.
A quantity of mail matter which had
lust arrived when the fire started was
burned.
All of the frame portions of the depot
with the shed covering the approach to
the several ferry slips were destroyed,
but the eigbt.story office building, built
in 1891, was left intact.
The huge train shed, which was built
entirely of iron and glass, was damaged
only by the breaking of the glass from
the excessive heat. All the rolling stock
was promptly run out of the train shed
when the fire was first discovered, and
the company's ferryboats were simulta-
neousiy hurried out into the srream and
over tn New York.
The Western Union building and
Adams Express Company's piers adJoin-
ing the station on the west and north
respectively. were not damaged, although
at one time in danger.
While the fire lasted it presented a
most magnificent spectacle. Thousands
of people viewed it from the water front,
aud by the glare of the flames read
newspaper with ease. The fire started
at 20 a. M. in the kitchen under the
keystone restaurant under the depot,
probably from kettle of boiling fat. SO
far as is known there was no one in the
kitchen at the time.
The burned station was larger than the
Grand Central Depot in New York, and
had a length of 653 feet, with width OF
256 feet and height Of 112 feet.

"RaiIroad jack Travels Gratuituusly and

There are various kinds of 'Jaeks"
known to the public, but the most pc
culiar is the Railroad Jack. He is
kind of genus hobo, and is called
"Jack" because of his prOcliyity for
riding on the bumpers and trucks OF
railroad trains.
The king of Railroad Jacks recent

name is Henry d. Cooper. This par
tIcular Jack never arrives atany place,
never comes from any place and never
has a premeditated idea of going to
any place.
A passenger train pulls up at sta
ton for "a momentary halt. Under the
sleeper there is rafting and clauk-

Of all queer occupations none exceeds
in danger aud weirdness that of the Mad

is business in which profit is about

The method of taking the snakes alive

This part of the procedure in procur-
