WAREHOUSES; co
Morris & Lewis Buildings on
Twenty.fourth Street
Are Burned.
LOSS ESTIMATED AT $4,000
Flames Start in Boiler Shed from Un-
known Origin-People on the Via
duct Endaneer Structure.

| The warehouses on the east side or
the Morris & Lewis junk yard, Twenty
| fourth street and Second avenue, were
entirely destroyed by fire last night at
| 7:45, and the loss is estimated at
i, $4,000. The fire originated in the boil
er shed and spread rapidly, taking a
southwark course and destroying the
large warehouse on the south end of
the yard. The flames went west from
the large warehouse, but were under
control before any adjoining buildings
were damaged. The fire was discov-
cred at 7:45. and the department mott
| fed. The Central and No. hose com
| panies responded promptly, but the
| flames had gained considerable head
way. and the firemen confined their
efforts to preventing the fire from
spreading. The intense heat caused
by the fire handicapped the work of
the department A car filled with
scrap iron was standing on the side
track in flames, and this made the en-
trance TO the yard impossible. The
fire was under control in an hour after
the arrival of the department.
Origin Is Unknown.
The cause of the fire is unknown,
though it started in the boiler shed
and the rags and paper which were
stored in the large shed in which is
located the boiler caused the flames
to spread rapidly. The shed was ablaze
before the fire department arrived, and
the entire yard was destroyed before
the flames were checked. The Cen
trail hose company worked on the fire
until l o'clock this morning i'll order
TO prevent the fire breaking out again.
One stream was kept on the debris
until s o'clock this morning. The
buildings were insured for $1,000.
Crowds Throng Viaduct.
The flames shot high in the air. and
the Illumination attracted throngs o.
people to the scene. Hundreds gath
cred at the viaduct, and Witnessed the
spectacle from that vantage point. The
crowd became so large in a short time
that there was grave danger of the
collapse of the weak part of the bridge
Colonel S. f. Blunt learning of the
situation. and knowing the danger of
further damage to the already con-
demned bridge. promptly came over
with a detail of the soldiers at the ar
senal. The bridge was quickly cleared
without difficulty, the spectators hay

advantageous place to witness the fire.
