BIG FIRE
AT HOBOKEN.
Ships Endangered in Blaze
Damage Said to be Half
a Million.
STARTED IN FERRYBOAT.

NEW YORK, Aug. S.-Inside of three
quarters of III hour fire swept away
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern Railroad conpany's terminal in
Hoboken, seized two ferryboats and
practically ruined them and for half an
hour threatened Il con1agration of the
entire water front in the vicinity, in
Guiding the big Hamburg-American
and North German Lloyd steamship
docks, at which several big ships were
lying. SO far as known no lives were
lost.
A remarkable feature of the great
blaze was that inside of twenty min
utes after its start it had seized upon
the Lackawanna's terminal and swept
its 800 feet of train sheds, booming
them.
The flames started from an unknown
cause on the old wooden ferryboat HO-
patcong, which had been tied up in the
and the Christopher street ferry slips.
The fire was discovered about MI
o'clock last night. 1t was then leaping
from the boiler room below the main
deck through the engine room and at
lacking the wooden superstructure.
A Waterman on the ferry dock turn
ed in calls for the city department and
also tor the Lackawanna fire brigade.
Almost before the company's men
could lay a line of hose and before the
city 1iremen could reach the scene the
flames had leaped to the ferry office
building between the piers and tlNen to
the brand new ferryboat Binghamton,
which was lying in the northern slip of
the Barclay street line. From these 1t
leaped in u few seconds to the high
frame structure above the waiting
room, and in five minutes after the fire
was first seer the entire buildings, COW
ering many acres, were burning. Tween
ty minutes after the blaze was first
seen the high tower which surmounts
the building crashed down all ablaze.
Twenty minutes after the alarm it
looked as If the entire lower part of
Hoboken, including the Hamburg piers.
would go.
There were four slips with high pill
ings, and these burned fiercely and
sent the fire southwark into the freight
piers. These had been destroyed for
the most part by a great fire on May
20, 1904, and had just been rebuilt.
From the waiting room the flames
leaped into the. train shed, and so rapid
was the spread there that engines
which were drawing out the cars to be
ready for use in the morning had to be
hurried cut. Seven coaches were left
behind, but there had been time to
u V about thirty others.
The two burning ferryboats were
towed out into the stream by tugs. The
Hopatcong sunk later. The Hopatcong
when she took fire was tied against the
Hamburg-American dock 3. The flames
licked the sides of the pier, but did not.
set it on fire. The damage is placed at
$500, 600.
