STOCKYARDS BURNED.
Jersey City Visited by Early Morning
Fire-Loss. 100000.

f1re-Lbss. E-bb,uOO.
JERSEY CITY, \. j., Nov. 16.-De-
stroying four large wooden buildings in
which were penned live hogs and
sheep, fire in the stockyards here
early in the morning caused loss OF
100000.
AS the fire lighted up the SKI the
grunts and squeals of 500 hogs, 500
sheep and 30 calves, which We're roast
I'd alive, penetrated the air. At the
height of the fire a spectacular Incl
dent occurred when two huge smoke
stacks toppled over
The fire ragged from until 8 o'clock
and ate Its way over space 500 by
200 feet The flames were checked
when they reached the large pens,
where most Of the cattle were kept.
The stockyards, which are situated
at the foot OF Sixth street, below Hen
derson street, extend along the Hud-
son river for half mile.
Shortly after 3 o'clock Waterman
shifted burning straw and soon discov-
cred blaze in the fat rendering estab-
lishment This grew in fierceness so
quickly that a third alarm was neces-
sary. When the firemen arrived they
found difficulty in gaining access to
the yards, and six tugs from the vari-
Gus railroads beat them in getting
streams to play on the blaze. Soon
the fire, famed by north wind,
spread to the hog abattoir, then TO
the sheep abattoir and next to the en-
CINE and boiler rooms.
1t ragged so fiercely that the fire de-
partment of the Pennsylvania railroad
was called.
The Roadway which the fire gained,
the firemen say. was due TO low tide
Mud clOgged the fire plugs and reduced
the water pressure.
In addition TO the live stock burned
there was in the various abattoirs more
than 5000 dressed carcasses, which the
flames consumed.
BY the destruction of the engine
building the power for the refrigerat-
ing plant, the electric dynamos and for
heating the various buildings was cut
off. Consequently the 1000 head of
dressed beef in the abattoir near the
river must be disposed of at once. The
entire work of the yards will be stop
ped for number of months.
This fire is the first since the entire
yards were swept away in 1891.

welt carried every state where there

ent on their splendid victory and said
