COSTLY FIRE.
Two City Blocks Were Burned Over in
 New York.

New York, Oct 1.-Two city blocks burned over, fifteen business establish ments destroyed, hundreds of tenement dwellers forced to flee for safety frorr their fame-threatened homes, one fire man injured, q watchman burned, 230 fear-crazed horses roaming through crowded streets for more than an hour, and desperate three-hour struggle with the flames, were the results of a fire which threatened destruction to a large portion of the upper east side water front shortly after midnight The loss was $100,000.
 Starting in a ragpicker's shop in 10Sth street near First avenue, the flames spread so quickly that within a few minutes 1t was necessary to turn in four alarms, and twenty-five engine companies, fire boat and half dozen towboats were rushing to the scene to combat with the flames which were sweeping southward. The block be- tween 10Sth and 107th streets. all small buildings. was swept within a few minutes and flying embers had ignited the big lumber yards of J.. Rebers Sons & Go. From the lumber yards the fire threatened the entire district Half a dozen firemen caught in a back draft of flame and smoke when a lumber shed collapsed were blinded and choked, but with one ex- ception all escaped without serious in jury. Pipeman O'Neil was struck by a falling timber and fell unconscious. He was rescued by his companions. By this time the flames had jumped across forth street and were menacing Meyer Bros coal yards and number Of tene. ment houses.
 Michael Neher and his wife, who lived on the second floor of a two-story brick building, at the river edge on the north side of 107th street, had d narrow escape from death and were rescued with difficulty by the fremen. Shortly after their rescue the house was in flames and was later completely destroyed.
 The flames swept across to Meyer Bros coal yard, on the south side of the street. In the rear of the yards was a stable sheltering 250 horses. They were turned lose and for more than an hour the frightened animals rushed through the crowded streets. Finally all were captured.
 South of the coal yard was a two story brick structure facing on 106th street near the river occupied by Klingenbach X Go. contractors, and by l. W. Sawyer, engraver, which was burned out. Throughout the fire the wind, veering around to the north, car ried great showers of sparks south- ward, some as far as Ninetieth street These fell on the roofs of the tene- ments in their course and kept the oc- cupants thereof in alarm for hours.
 It was three hours after the fire started before the firemen controlled its They gave up the fight fin the Inm- Der yard and devoted their attention to Meyer Bros yard and building on 106th street When they had succeed cd in checking the southward march of the flames they went back to the lum- Der yard, which had been blazing un. hindered all the while. The loss to the lumber company aggregated about half the total. Only the five story office and storage building was saved of the lumber yard property.

Furious Flames.
FIRE FIENDS Destructive WORK,
Scotland Neck Loses Ten ThOus-
and Dollars.

Tuesday night just after the mid
night hour the alarm of fire was given
and the fire was soon located in a sort
of shack in the rear of J. R. Askew'e
store on Main street close to Twelfth.
ALI the buildings from Stern'f
corner to J. B. Edwards store were
wooden and it was soon apparent that
not one could be saved.
A great crowd gathered and assisted
in moving goods from S. j. Stern's
grocery store and market, from J. H
Ausbon's grocery and from A. C.
Peterson's grocery. Goods also we're re.
moved from three other smaller build
ings.
The flames leaped On towards the
Edwards store, which was built oil
brick, and the wooden buildings went
down like stubble.
Would the brick walls of Edwards
store withstand the flames? Was ii
6re-proof?
Willing helpers flooded the top 0.
the building with water and the. flames
we're stayed, The walls standing well
the test Of the terrific flames.
There was scarcely a breeze and the
Flames shot straight up. Had there
been strong wind from the east OF
north east, perhaps the entire block
would have been consumed including
all the buildings that face on Church
steet- The dwelling occupied by Mr.
G. G. Weeks facing Twelfth street
barely escaped as it was.
The full loss of the fire given in q
lump sum must be ten thousand dol
lars. S. J. Stern and J. r. Askew
owned the stores they occupied. The
store occupied by J. H. Ausbon war
owned by Mrs. G. H. Herring, tae
store occupied by A. G.. Peterson YVES
owned by G. W. Bryan, as well as
two or three other small buildings
occupied as barber shop, shoe shop
and restaurant.
Stern, Ausbon and Peterson saved
the most of their goods, but they were
all badly injured. Mr.. Stern bad $500
insurance on his stock, Mr.. Peterson
S4CO on his, but Mr.. Ausbon had no
insurance at all.
It was indeed a sad sight to see such
piles of goods thrown and scattered
and smashed into ruin but that was
the only way they could be saved at
al.
A most perplexlng question with
those who saved their goods, was what
to do with them, for there was not a va
cant store into which they could be
placed.
Mr.. Stern has stored his goods In
the "brick mill" just across the street,
Mr.. Peterson has stored his in the Ed
Shields old knitting mill and Mr.. Aus
bon has carried his to Mr.. r. j.
Msdry's warehouse near the railroad.
This is the second fire III Scotland
Neck this year and Mr.. Peterson
suffered alike in both fires.
