THIRTEEN ENGINES AT WORK
EIGHT HOURS.
Two Buildings Were Totally De-
stroyed and the Loss Will Be
About $15O,OOO.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. October 12-Eight full
hours, with thirteen engines pumping as
fast and as steadily as possible, firemen
fought blind fire at 178 and 17s Grand
street. from 10 o'clock last night until q
o'clock this morning, before it showed
signs Of surrender. Seven of them were
overcome by heavy smoke. When the
capitulation Of the blaze was effected,
some of the begrimed, battle weary men
were permitted to take up and return
to quarters, while a fresh force filed their
places. But all day long a few engines
will remain on the job. pumping water
into the smoking ruins Of the two build

Back Draft Caught Them.

The material in the building made it the
smokest fire imaginable, and except at
brief intervals during the night when a
puff Of wind swept the smoke blanket
aside and the blackness was veined with
red the firemen were unable to see it.
They felt 1t rather than saw 1t, and
guided their movements by the intuition
which comes to every man trained in the
service. The ground floor was occupied
by the Columbia Fixture Company, gas
and electric fixtures, and the basement
was filed with crates Of packed goods
stuffed with excelsior
While a squad of firemen were on the
first floor they were caught in a back
draft, and all got out safely, except
four. These four were quickly rescued by
comrades, and in the open air soon re-
vived
For hours the men Just held the blaze
and then it ate its way into 17S. The
flames went upward rapidly, and the two
six-story buildings were in the grasp of
the fire from cellar to attic. When morn,
ing came the two buildings were gutted
and the loss estimated at $15O,OOO.
