Fierce Fire smeeps It's tay Through Business Portion Of
City Of Paterson. Destroying Property Valued
Millions Of Doilars-Fuy 1000 Fam
lilies Left Homeless.

Paterson, n. j., Feb. 10.-A great fire
swept through Paterson Sunday, and
in its desolate wake are the embers
and ashes of property valued at about
$s,000,ooo. 1t burned its way through
the business section of the city and
claimed as it's own a majority OF the
finer structures devoted to commercial,
civic, educational and religious use, as
well as scores of houses. There was
but small tribute of life and injury to
the confagrat ton, but hundreds were
left homeless and thousands without
employment. A relief movement for
the care of those unsheltered and un-
provided for has been organized, and
Mayor John Henchcliffe said that Pat
erson would be able to care for her
own without appealing TO the charity
of other communities and states. The
great manufacturing plants Of the
place are safe, and the community,
temporarily dazed by the Calamity, has
already commenced the work Of reor-
ganization and restoration.
The burned District.
The area OF destruction foots up
roughly 25 city blocks. From Main
street to Paterson street, between Van
Houtcn and Market streets, there is
but little left. On the block bound
ed by Main. Ellison, Washington and
Market streets not a single building
excepting that Of the Paterson savings
institution stands. All along the west

out, and on the east side also from
Market to Van Houten streets. Along
the south side of Broadway between
Washington and Church streets great
damage has been done. Van Houten
street is reduced TO smouldering deb
ris, SO far as buildings are concerned,
for some distance. Ellison street suf-
fered from the neighborhood Of Pros
pect street, on its north side, as far as
Church street. On the south side OF
this street there is widespread ruin
from a short distance west of Main
street TO the parsonage Of the Second
Presbyterian church, near Paterson
street. Market street is a pile OF ru-
ins from Main street TO the Market
street church on the north side and
on the south side. Nowhere was the
scene of devastation more marked
than north of the Erie railroad in the
district bounded by Sixteenth avenue
and Market street. There was simply
nothing but ashes left to tell that
busy and populous section OF the city
had ever existed. On Washington
street, between Broadway and Market
streets, there is practically nothing
left. Church street is wiped out on it's
west side between Ellison and Market
streets, as it is on the east side.
The fire came at midnight Saturday

PLANTATION, the paper says the agree

and uninterrupted communication
and actuated by similar views.
