FIERCE BLAZE
IN new YORK

NEW YORK. Nov. Is. 3:45 a. M
The abattoirs at the foot of sixth
street, Jersey City, are burning. Two
alarms have been sent in, but the fire
is spreading rapidly among the
buildings. which are of frame con-
struction.
Trains of cattle cars belonging to
the Erie Railroad Company have been
drawn out of the fire zone.
Several large grain elevators stand
along the river front five or six blocks
from the fire, but they are not be-
lieved TO be in immediate danger.
The flames ran rapidly along the
rvater front toward the north and
were soon communicated to the docks
of the Berwynd-White Coal Company
The terminal of the Erie Railroad is
situated not far south of these docks.
Great efforts were made by the men
employed about the abattolrs ana
stockyards to save the cattle and it is
thought all were driven to places Of
safety.

STORM PASSES TO SEA.
Leaves the Wire Service of New Eng
land ParaIyzed.

BOSTON, Nov. 1.-THE fierce
southern storm, which started off the
Florida coast on Saturday and swept
up the Atlantic seaboard. passed over
the maritime provinces to-day and to-
night had its center off Cape Race,
Newfoundland The storm in the
provinces, particularly along the pen
insula of Nova Scotia. was attended
with terrific gales and an unusually
low barometer, the glass at Halifax
to-day showing a mark of 2S.6.
Telegraphic and telephone COM
munication with the provinces is in
terrupted and news coming from
Eastern Maine filtered through to-day
by a most circuitous route. Tonight
there is no wire communication east
or north of Waterville, Me-, and all
telegraphic connections between this
city and points in the State of Yer
mont is suspended. AS reports have
been received here from points along
the New England coast regarding the
ravages of the storm a remarkably
small number Of marine disasters was
noted. So far as known tonight only
two vessels were wrecked, the Rock
land schooner Arcularius, which went
ashore off the Tarpaulin Cove light
house on Naushon Island, and the
Nautilus, which broke her back across
the new Dog bar, Gloucester harbor.
In neither case was there any loss of
life.
The chief damage caused by the
storm was the crippling Of the tele-
phOnic. telegraphic and electric light
service throughout northern and east
ern New England. Through the entire
area of Maine, New Hampshire and
Vermont the course of the telegraph
and telephone lines is marked by hun
dreds, of poles that were blown down.
Clear and cold weather followed in
the wake of the storm.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 1.-THE
American line steamship Merton from
Liverpool and Queenstown for this
port which went aground on Chester
Island flats. in the Delaware River,
fourteen miles below this city during
the severe storm of Sunday afternoon,
was still fast in the mud at late hour
tonight. The 1000 passengers who
were compelled to remain on the big
liner all night were taken off by the
river steamboat Columbia this after
noon and landed at the American line
pier in this city. Hundreds of rela-
tives and friends of the belated pas
sengers, who expected the Merton to
dock yesterday, we're at the pier to
greet the voyagers,
The Merton lies with her bow
buried deep in the mud and so far as
known has sustained no damage.
Tugs have been at work ever since
the ship went aground, but have not
succeeded in moving the big vessel.
A lighter was towed alongside the
ship and much of the cargo has been

STOCKHOLDER INSISTS
UPON PUNCTUALTTY
Protest Causes an Adjournment OF
the Northern Securities
Meeting.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE meet
ing of the Northern Securities Com
pany was called to order to-day in
Hoboken, and. after receiving pro-
test from c. H. Venner, president of
the Continental Securities Company,
adjourned until Monday, November
21. Very few stockholders were pres
ent.
The protest presented by Venner
was an objection to any attempt to
hold a meeting of the stockholders, on
the ground that the time fixed for
the annual meeting was noon and that
since more than an hour had passed
without holding the meeting or any
attempt to hold or adjourn the same,
no meeting could be held and any ac-
ton taken would be null and void.

LFUTWEIN A FAILURE
IN GERMAN AFRICA
Trusted the Natives Too Far and Will
Be Superseded in the Governor
ship,

BERLIN. Nov. 14.-Colonel Lieut.
veins retirement from the Governor
ship of German Southwest Africa is
much discussed. The view finds gen
eral expression that he has been too
optimistic in his judgment of the ma
tives and did not comprehend the
treacherous character of the chiefs.
Colonel Leutwein was too kind and
too trusting, believing the chiefs were
true subjects of Germany until they
were ready to resort to open rebel
lion. The colonists complained bit
terly of his mild policy toward the
natives.
The uprising of the Wittbois is
thought to have finally convinced the
Colonial Office that Governor Lieut.
vein had failed to comprehend the
character of the native chiefs and
that he was unfit to longer remain at
his post, and his resignation, which
was rendered months ago, has been
accepted.
