ROAD
SUFFERS BIG FIRE

NEW YORK, Dec 20.-The two
new ferry houses and slips Of the Cen
tral railroad of New Jersey and the
Delaware and Lackawanna near the
foot of 23rd street, We're practically
destroyed by fire this morning
The fire started near the waiting
room of the Delaware and Lackawama
ferry house, the more notherly of the
two, and which ran from Twenty Sec
ond to Twenty third street, along the
North River \ brisk wind was blow
ing from the north, spreading the
flames with remarkable speed through
the entire structure
The building was soon a mass of
flames, which communicated to the
Central ferry house, located along the
river front from Twenty first to Twen-
ty-seCOnd street.
The ferry boat Hamburg, on which
there were 800 passengers was in the
Lackawanna slip when the fire broke
out but its pilot quickly pulled out in
to the stream away from danger A
number Of painters were at work on
this structure and they had to run for
their lives. 1t is thought that one of
the lamps used by the painters explod-
ed and started the fire
John Horner, the ticket agent for
the ID. l.. and W. is the only person
injured so far as known. He carried
out $4l 600 in money and tickets from
the safe and had to make couple of
trips to do it. He was burned and
scorched about the face and arms Oh
his second trip, an incident which
shows the rapidity with which the fire
spread.
The loss will probably exceed half &
million of dollars.
