THIRTY FIREMEN NEAR
DEATH In NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Thirty fire
$780, 900 fire which destroyed the six
story factory and warehouse of Joseph
Libmann x Co, paper manufacturers,
today. The building, located in the
downtown wholesale district at Hud-
son and Ntstry streets, was a modern
structure, completed only a few months
ago, and supposedly fireproof, but the
highly hhammable nature of the ron
tents CAV plenty of fuel for the flames.
When the Gremen arrived in response
to an automatic alarm, they found the
blaze apparently confined to a rear
basement. A squad of thirty tremenL
headed by Captain R%oxbury, went to
an upper floor and broke open an
elevator shaft, purposing to drown the
flames with a flood of water directed
through the opening. But before they
could get their lines directed into the
shaft. a sheet of solid flame swept
up, drawn by a powerful draft. and
bowled over about half of the little
group at the nose lines. In the twin
king of an eye they were surrounded
DN Hrt, WHICH SpIdHS up DIS IL ny ihdStS
in piles Of paper and cardboard on all
sides. Under hastily shouted orders
from RoXbury the iremen dashed
blindly through the flames, dragging
each other to safety. Captain Rox-
bury, the last to leave the building,
found himself in the street below with
his clothing ablaze from head to foot,
A well-directed drenching from a hose
man on the opposite side of the street
saved him from serious harm.
Second and third alarms Were i'm
mediately turned in, and Chief Croker
directed that the tenants in three ad-
jacent Hudson street tenements be
routed out of their quarters to places
of safety. Thirty-five lines of hose
were turned on the blaze. The density
of the smoke made the firemen's task
difficult, and a battery of s~earchlights
was brought into play.

New Line of Trolley Cars
For Evening Rush Service

To provide additional service for home-bound
riders and to relieve the Orange line in the evening
rush hours, Public Service Railway will put a new
line of cars in operation beginning Thursday, De
cember %, 1910. The line will be known as the
WARREN, and the route will extend from Market and
Washington streets west through Market, Bank and
Warren streets to Orange and Fourteenth streets, cars
returning to starting point by way of Fourteenth
street, Central avenue and Washington street.
The operating officers of the company have Sc
lected this route as one most likely to give material
relief to the public without further taxing the con-
gested conditions at Broad and Market streets. BY
turning the cars only one way at Market and Wash
ington streets there will be no interruption of east
bound cars on Market street and practically none of
vest-bound traffic. 1t is to avoid such interference with
other lines and to promote facility of operation that
the cars are TO be brought downtown by way of Cen
trial avenue. They will be in service only between the
hours of 500 p. m. and 6:22 p. m, when the heavy
travel is westward, and a Roadway of ~ minutes will
be maintained for a beginning.
II is expected that the WARREN line will fill a
double purpose. 1t will furnish additional facilities for
local riders, and BY so doing relieve the through Or
ange cars of a large percentage of short distance
riders who now patronize them, thus proportionately
increasing the accommodations on those cars for
through passengers,
AS the WARREN line is intended for local relief
service only, continuing trip tickets WILL NOT be
issued either at Market and Washington or Orange and
Fourteenth streets. There will be no curtailment of
present through service on lines passing these points,
and therefore no reason for through passengers board
Ing the new short line cars.
For the accommodation of the public, however,
transfers will be issued to and received from Clifton
and Bergen cars at intersecting points and to and
from other lines which now transfer passengers to the
regular Orange cars. Transfers good on west-bound
Orange cars at Broad and Market streets will be &C
cepted on the Warren cars at Market and Washing
ton streets.
The Warren line will be something of an expert
ment. Its future will depend on the public. If it
proves to fill a public demand and is patronized the
Roadway will be regulated to suit traffic requirements.
On the other hand, if it is not wanted by the people
II will be discontinued.
