but clad in a closely buttoned box coat
and wholly unattended, he walked across

FORTUNE GOES
UP IN SMOKE
Fire at the East River
Causes Loss Of Half
a Million.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-Half a million
dollars is the estimate of the loss Of a
fire this evening in the vicinity of Ninth
street at the East River. Several fire.
men were hurt, but none seriously.
The blaze started in the plant of w. E.
Updegrove & Bros, manufacturers Of
boxes, veneers and fine wood work, and
this firm was the principal sufferer. One
of its buildings was a seven-story struc-
ture while those surrounding it were one
story buildings All of Updegrove &
Bros mill was destroyed. From the
Standard Oil Company's depot on
Eleventh street thousands of gallons of
oil were drained into the river to prevent
great explosion and resulting conf1agra-
tion.
What started the fire is not known. 1t
swiftly spread to all the Updegrove build
ings. Within and surrounding these were
great quantities of lziln-dried wood to
feed upon. By the hardest of work the
firemen kept the flames from reaching
three big lumber yards adjoining. The
walls of the larger Updegrove building
fell in and crushed the stable of the Stan
dard Oil Company in the rear. All the
horses had been removed.
After the fire was thought to be under
control it broke out again and spread to
the works of the Mutual Gas Company.
This outbreak was caused by fireman
street. The street was flooded with water
on which was a thick coating of oil. This
ignited and the flames leaped into the gas
company's property.
The fire then turned back across the
street and the immense store of lumber
1t comprised some 1S.000,000 feet of valu-
able woods. The lumber yards of ]. M.
Saulspaugh were also reached by the
flames and great damage done.
