Delaware and Lackawanna Terminals
Destroyed at Hoboken.
MANY SHIPS AFIRE IN MIDsTREAM.
Big Ferryboats Are lowed Out on Fire
Ocean Steamship Piers Are Saved
The Entire Terminal In Ruins Twenty
Minutes From the Time the Fire
Started.

New York (Special).-Fire which
broke out shortly before midnight de-
stroyed the Lackawanna ferry house, the
station and train sheds of the Lacka-
wanna Railroad and the historic Duwes
House in Hoboken.
Two ferryboats were hauled out into
the stream burning, and at midnight
were drifting upstream, lighting the
river from shore to shore and from the
Battery to the Bronx.
The loss at late hour was estimated
at $I,5oo,ooo.
The Hoboken Fire Department was
found powerless to cope with the flames,
and pressing messages were sent to Jer-
sey City and New York. Half of the
Jersey City fire apparatus was hurried
to the scene, and Chief Croker dispatch
ed engines and trucks from this city.
Great crowds gathered along North
River, attracted by the frelit sky, and
the police reserves of six precincts were
called upon to protect the people from
their own heedlessness. Twenty-Five po-
licemen were held at Christopher street
ferry, where thousands of persons

prevent dozens from being pushed into
the river
The fire was discovered first on the
ferryboat Hopatcong, which was laid up
in the Christopher slip, and spread al
most instantly to the ferryhouse and
to the Musconetcong, which was laid
up in an adjoining slip.
The fire spread with such rapidity
that thu ferry houses were reduced to
ashes within half an hour, and the no.
tel and other buildings fell in smolder
ing heaps. At midnight the great new
Hamburg American Line piers were
threatened.
1t was only through the prompt ac-
ton of tugboat captains that several
vessels were saved.
For time it appeared that the North
German Lloyd Line pier was doomed.
The vessels lying in the dock were safe
ly dragged away from danger and the
company's volunteer fire brigade got to
work, drenching the roofs with water.
But the wind carried the flames away.
There was no lack OF water, but there
was not sufficient apparatus TO enable

the time the New York freboats had
gotten to the scene the better part OF
the loss had been sustained. Only by
the greatest exertion were the freight
and passenger cars of the railroad COM
pany stored near the ferry houses saved.
Some of these were moved blazing from
the spot.
Considerable quantities of freight
stored on the wharves was damaged.
The burning of the old Dukes house
was attended with dramatic incidents
The occupants, who were all abed, es-
capped in their night clothing and were
hurried to places OF safety in neigh
boring buildings, A rumor that two
persons had lost their lives in the hotel
was denied later, when all of the occu-
pants were accounted for
