At a special meeting of the Library
Board held on Saturday evening, the
following preamble and resolutions
were adopted:
The Bryant Library association in
the deaths of DIR. J. F. Hamilton and
Mr.. e. P. Barnum feels sense of ir-
reparable loss. AS members of the
board of directors their long years of
faithful and gratuitous services to the
cause of popular education for which
the public library was created, COM
pels,a sincere gratitude upon the part
of the association and deep realiza-
ton of the obligation resting upon all
lovers of books in our city for their
DEVOTED and generous labors.
Doctor Hamilton has been the hon.
ored president of the Association, for
many years. Not only does the board
of directors keenly feel the loss of q
model presiding officer and q wise
counsellor, but the services of an inde-
fatigable worker and discriminat-
ing critic. His wide knowledge OF
books and their authors, his fine lit
erary taste and his elevated standard
Of morals ever served to upbuilding
the library with the best in literature
to the exclusion of anything objec-
tionable or questionable. The public,
whose faithful servant Re was, owes
him debt OF gratitude for his en-
deavor in its behalf.
Mr.. Barnum was with the Library
ct its beginning; for long term gave

it his best services, and although for
q few years past by reason of change
of residence his active connection
with the Library has been severed,
his interest and love for the institu-
ton never ceased. He was always its
friend.
Therefore, be it Resolved, that we
hereby express our appreciation for
their work which will indeed live af-
ter them; and that we desire to join
with others in rendering to the fami-
lies of the deceased our sincere and
heartfelt sympathy with them in their
bereavment.

Paterson. Feb. e-The business portion of this
CITY Is in ruins. A fire, the like of which has
never been seen in this State, broke out in the
car sheds Of the trolley company, In lower
Broadway. at 1905 this morning. The high
wind famed the flames into a fierce blaze in
few seconds, and before the fremen reached
the scene the fire byond their control
In twelve hours it traversed a mile, cutting
a wide swath through the business section of
the city. All kinds Of estimates Of the damage
done by the flames have been made. Many OF
these calculate the loss at S1o.00O,O00 to Sl5'-
100000
The flames swept through the old car sheds
to Van Houten-st, taking Continental Hall
and bursting out in Main-st,, the business
street of the city. Quackenbushs big drygoods
store was the first important structure to 60
At the same time the flames leaped TO the other
side Of the street and took the Boston store
the largest department store in the city. In
these two nearly 100000 was lost In its
course with the wind the fire swept down the
CITY Hall, the First National Bank, the Young
Mems Christian Association Building, The
News Building the fine City Hall, which
cost over S500O00: the Romaine Building, an
Office building; the Paterson National Bank and
on through Market and Ellison SITS, taking
hundreds of the finest structures in the city.
TWENTY BLOCKS RAZED.
Twenty blocks of business buildings are prac-
tically level with the ground. thousand fam
lilies have been driven from their homes. many
of them losing all they had. The whole city is
in confusion and panic.
The frennen were powerless to cope with
such confagration. They did their best to
prevent the spread Of the fire to individual
buildings Mayor Hinchliffe took charge of the
work and every effort was made to meet the
sufu1 destruction. Calls for aid were sent out
70 the fire departments in Jersey City Newark,
Passaic. Rutherford, Ridgewood. Hoooken.
MontcIair and surroundings small places. These
responded promptly. but their efforts seemed
to be lost in the holocaust
At first the flames went in leaps, starting
fires in MANY separate places. The high wind
carried great volumes of sparks for blocks and
caused fires to start in the roofs. Fires were
raging in many places at once that the nre-
men could not distribute themselves, and these
places were simply allowed to burn down. Soon
the spaces between these fires closed up, in the
heart of the city. and the great mass Of seeth-
ing flames swept on in an awful march Of
devastation.
FOLLOWED THE COURSE OF THE WIND.
The wind was from the northwest, ind the
direction OF the fire followed the course of the
wind. 1t cut swath over two blocks wide and
travelled for fully mile, jumping at intervals
in a strange manner before it burned itself out.

stories reached his hearers and were thor

of the civil war and how they had won
high place in the hearts Of the American
people.
Comrade Kay of Brooklyn was introduced
as member OF the 2d Army Corps. and
responded In an address which laid empha-
the soldier. He said that President Roose-
welt was the best friend the soldier ever
had. He spoke Of seeing Gen. Sickles and
Gen. Longstreet on the reviewing stand
ter written by the former to the latter, in
which he gave it as his opinion that the
position taken by Gen. Sickles and his corps
at the peach orchard in the battle of Get

his country that the recent war did not
compare with the war of the rebellion. as
more men were lost in one battle in that
conflict than during the entire two and a
half years of the war in Africa. Now that
peace come, he predicted that an era
of prosperity would be enjoyed by his coun-

The retirement of Gen. Sickles from the

cheers. and the audience arose to their feet
while he passed out.
