damaged to the amount of at least

on the summit of the great steel tower
on the New York side. Three men who
were at work on the top of the tower
when the fire broke out are reported
to have fallen into the river.
Owing to the height of the tower it
was utterly impossible to reach the fire
and the flames. after devouring all the
wood work on the top of the lower,

ports, until nearly 1.O00.OOO feet of
two foot bridges suspended from the
main cables, burning away the sup
ports. until nearly 100000 feet of
blazing lumber fell with a mighty
splash and hiss into the stream.
The fall of the foot bridge carried
away scores of the lighter cables and

her drifting helpless down the stream.
The Fall River steamer Priscilla,

run through the rain of fire and steel
from the bridge. She put back to her
dock and her passengers were for
warded by train.

been at work on the tower when the
