FIRE
ON THE ISLAND
Cotton Docks At TOmpkinSVllle
Again Blaze The Loss Is
About $4,000.

Three fires were going in the Amer
lean Dock and Trust Company's tract,
which extends from the Lighthouse
Bureaus reservation at st. George to
Tompkinsville, Staten Island. One
blaze was three weeks old yesterday;
another just a week old.
The oldest fire was confined to
storage houses Nos. 8, 4 and 9, near
est the Lighthouse property. The
second affected Nos. II, IS and 10,
filled with hemp, jute, sisal, and
some cotton. Yesterdays fire start
ed in a corner of No. Q, which touches
Nos. 3 and 8. In Nos. 8, 4, and 8
cotton bales have been smoldering
for three weeks, although the bales
have been under drenching streams
all that time.
1t is supposed that the fire heated
the brick party walls until spontane-
Gus combustion was set up in No. 2.
Flames were discovered there at 1:45
pm. yesterday and the firemen on
duty sent in an alarm which brought
fourteen companies and two Balti-
more and Ohio railroad tugs as vol
unteers. Before anything could be
done to control them, the flames at
tackled warehouse No. 1, full of cot
ton bales.
When a bale is exposed to flames,
the moisture within it makes it burst
its iron bands and expand suddenly
| with an explosion. This happened
suddenly to many bales at once UNI
der the roof of No. 1, while William
Smith and John Morris, warehouse
employees, were aloft fighting the
flames with the company's hose. The
explosion hoisted them off the roof
and dumped them, sprawling, after
a fifteen foot fall in some bushes in
the Lighthouse tract. They were not
hurt.
When the roof was blown off a
mass of flames rose fifty feet in the
air, accompanied by the dense and
bitter smoke of burning cotton. The
firemen, reinforced by two city fire
boats, soon beat the flames down,
but they have a long job ahead of
them to drown out the last spark
from among the bales.
The damaged cotton from the other
fires is now being lightered to South
Brooklyn to be cleaned. Fire was
still in some of the bales there last
night, for it started afresh and de-
stroyed $4,000 worth more.
The dock company stands none OF
the loss on the cotton, which is in
sured by the shippers. The COM
pany's estimates of $25O,000 loss on
last weeks blaze and 100000 on
that of the week before, are said by
Assistant Fire Marshal Lestrange, in
charge of the Borough of Richmond,
to be exaggerated. He would place
it at $1,000 0 and 100000 On
that estimate yesterdays fire may
have cost $4,000.
AS a result of the fires residents
near by, on Greene's, Ward and Fort
Hills, have been suffering from a wat
er famine. AT their instance Chiei
Croker was. instructed last night to
use only salt water on the smolderins
bales and give the local water supply
service a chance. Croker said the
salt water damaged his engines, but
obeyed. The fresh water was drawn
upon again yesterday and the Hi
folk went dry.

Prof. Robert Koch lectured recently

Sickness" which he investigated for
several months in equatorial Africa
during the year 1905. Emperor vii

was present.
The malady, said the professor, had
been known on the west coast of Afri-

tury, and 1t had spread to the north
shore of the Victoria Nyanza and
threatened German Africa. Probably
200. 900 persons had died from the
disease. He had found whole villages
on the shores Of Victoria Nyanzs to
be empty, and the population of some
groups Of islands had died to the last
soul.
The infection was spread from hu
