CONVEYS BOWERY BURNED.

New York. May 26.-Fire started early
this morning in Busohman's pavilion,
Coney Island, and spread rapidly until
seven blocks OF buildings had been
destroyed. 1he police believe the fire was
OF inoendiary origin.
4 Deputy Battalion Chief kirkpatrick of
the fire department. says he discovered
braces of kerosene along the board walk
In front of one of the burned buildings.
1 When the fire department. reached tue
beach front they found a dozen bath
houses burning.G They were dry AS finder
and 1t was impossible to save them. Ihe
flames communicated quickly to the
Bowery and destroyed two blocks of 1t
before they were gotten under control. In
one hour after the first puff of smoke
gave warning, large square dlled with
buildings of all sizes ana chafactsr, util-
ICED for such purposes as photograph gal
leries, saloons. dining rooms, dance halls,
theatres and the like, were in ruins. In
all, two hundred buildings were de-
stroyed. The police estimate the loss at
$3.50, QUO, but this is probably excessive as
tae structures were of the tiimsiest char
acter, some of them being little more
than shanties of cheap frame work. There
was no loss of life.
