SPECTACULAR CONFEDERATION
IN NEW YORK CITY.
LOSS NEARLY HALF MILLION
Great Burning Timbers Fall Into the
River With Kissing Sound-FIames
Beyond Reach of Apparatus
BrdgeWas to Have Cost a Total of
Ten Millions.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE new East
river bridge, in process of construction
between New York and Brooklyn, was
damaged to the amount of at least
half a million dollars last night by
fire that for four hours ragged 355 feet
in the air on the summit Of the great
steel tower on the New York side.
Three men who were at work on top
Of the tower when the fire broke out
are reported to have fallen into the
river. Owing to the enormous height
of the tower it was impossible to
reach the blaze with fire apparatus
and the flames, after devouring all
the woodwork on top of the tower
seized the timber work on the two foot
bridges suspended from the main
cables, burning away supports until
nearly a million feet of blazing lumber
fell with mighty splash and hiss
into the stream. The fall of the foot
bridge carried away scores of lighter
cables and guys which trailed In the
water, rendering it necessary for the
police to stop all traffic up and down
the river The Fall river steamer
Puritan and several other crafts had
narrow escapes while running the
gauntlet of the fiery brands that fell
in showers from the bridge. The fire
was the most spectacular confagra-
ton ever seen in New York. At the
moment that the foot bridges fell the
Brooklyn fire boat was just below the
bridge and heavy steel beam fell on
her, breaking her rudder and sending
her drifting helpless down the stream.
Sound steamers and all other up
river navigation was stopped
Two Years Labor Lost.
Daniel Brophy and his brother John
Of Montreal A. P. Mcbride and an I'M
known man were at work on the tow
er when the fire started. While they
were helping the firemen to haul up
hose the framework collapsed and the
Brophys and the unknown man were
hurled into the river. Mcbride saved
himself by catching a piece of project
ing steel work. While the fire was at
it's height party of firemen were cut
off at the bast of the tower but were
rescued after several had been severe
ly burned. Brands from the tower
fire got to the Pennsylvania Steel
company on the bridge. 1t was en-
tirely consumed and the contents fell
into the river. Everything cOmbusti-
Bile on the bridge was destroyed, leav-
ing only the steel tower and four
cables badly damaged. Should it be
necessary to replace them the labor OF
two years would be lost. To replace

ChELSEA'S NOTED BUNS.
All London Used to Visit Mrs. Hands
on Good Friday.

However religious observances may
change in England, the eating Of hot
cross buns on Good Friday is not likely
to die out. Still, enthusiasm in this
particular has considerably declined
since the days when Mrs. HANDS kept
the Chelsea Bun House at the corner
Of Jews row, now Pimlico road. so
many people were in the habit or flock
ing there on Good Friday in order to
eat hot cross buns that on one occasion
10000 persons assembled there, anu
$3.50 was taken in the day for buns
alone. After this the inhabitants or
Chelsea protested against the noise and
disturbance this caused, and Mrs.
Hands, fearing to be restrained by the
law. issued in 1899 a quaint prociama-
ton, stating how. "deslrous. therefore,
Of testifying her regard and obedience
to those laws by which she Is happily
protected. she is determined, though
| much to her loss. not 10 sell cross buns
on that day 10 any person whatever
| but chelsea buns as usual"
| This Mrs. Hands was something OF

family and many Of the aristocraey

with silver half gallon mug contain

time, as Sir Richard Phillips. writing

OF thirty years he had never passed th'
