An appalling disaster occurred at Hobo.

An appalling disaster occurred at Hobo
ken, N J.. Saturday, when the docks of
the North German Lloyd Steamship COM
pany we're burned, together with II number
of steamships, barges, and canal boats
causing loss of life of probably 800 per-
sons and a property loss that will reach
$4,000 000
The flames started among a large pile of
cotton bales on the pier of the steamship
company and spread with such remarkable
rapidity that in IL minutes the entire prop
erty Of the company, taking in over third
of mile of water front, and consisting of
three great piers, was completely envel-
oped in huge blaze. The flames started
so suddenly and gained such Roadway that
many people on the piers and on the nu-
merous vessels ducked we're unable to reach
the street There were great gangs of
workmen on the piers, and these, together
with number of people who were at the
docks on business and visiting the ships,
scattered in all directions. Those nearest
the shore end of the pier Of course, escaped,
but with many others all means of exit
were cut off by the flames, and they were
forced to jump overheard. Great numbers
were drowned.
At the piers were the Saale, the Bremen
and the Main. They all caught fire and
were burned, being nearly a total loss.
The Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse was the
only one of the four big vessels at the dock
that escaped The Aller, another steamer,
loaded with passengers, left for Europe two
hours before the flames broke out The
PEmnicia, of the Hamburg American line,
was also burned. The great pier of the
Hamburg American company was saved by
blowing up one side of the dock with dy
Mantle.
The steamship Main had only arrived a
few hours before and some of the passen-
gers were still on board, and when the cry
of fire was raised a number of them were
seen to run to the burning decks. Most of
them jumped overheard, and, save for the
few who were picked up by the tugs, not
one has been heard from. Some of the
passengers of the Main tried to escape to
the pier, and it is almost certain that they
persisted in the II ,mes.
There was panic on each of the ships.
Many persons jumped overheard, and the
water for some distance along the docks
was lined with people. They were clingiug
to the piers and even to the rudders of the
burning vessels. Some were picked up,
many were drowned.
The steamships Saale and Bremen, after
being pulled free from the docks, were
lowed absze down the bay and beached
off Liberty Island.
On the Bremen, as she blazed out in
midstream, six men could be seen with
their heads out of port holes waving hand
kerchiefs for assistance. Tug boats and
small boats darted around the big steam
ship making every effort to save the men,
but the terrible heat from the flames drove
them away.

but could be of little assistance, as there
was no water. The total loss exceeds
$500, aud the insurance is about $1,000.

Made Insane BY Fear.

Some of those who went into the water
and were rescued and but slightly injured
say that when others who were caught be-
tween the fire and the water saw death
coming they went insane. Men babbed
of home and friends during the few brief
moments that they and the others faced
death. The fear of the furnace which lay
between them and the land bereft them
Of their senses. There were acts of COW
ardice as well as heroism.
The rapid spread of the flames after they
started in the cotton is largely ascribed to
the dust with which the pier sheds and ro-
tunda was covered.
All of the hospitals in Hoboken and New
York are crowded with the victims of the
fire. There are sc res of men burned so
badly that little hope is entertained for
their recovery 1t is estimated that there
are over 300 who are injured.

his amazement that there were still men

the ferceness of the fire in the lower part
of the vessel.
Profting by his experience on the Bre
