100000 FIRE.
United States Express Compsny's
Plant Wiped Out of Existence.

Jersey City, N. j., Dec. 4.-The prin-
cipal plant of the United States Ex-
press company for the service of New
York City and vicinity was swept by
fire today, and practically the whole
delivery equipment, consisting of 400
horses, and several hundred wagons,
were destroyed.
The plant occupied nearly a whole
block. 1t comprised the company's
stables. The loss is estimated at ST.
900, 900.
Fred Ockray, night Waterman, who
gave the alarm, could not be found
after the flames subsidized, and he prob
ably lost his life trying to rescue some
of the horses.
Fire started in a manure pile and
soon gained such Roadway that five
alarms were rung in, and at one time
it was thought that help would be
needed from New York.
During the day more than a thou
sand men and women are employed in
the building, but when the fire broke
out only fifteen stablemen were there
to care for the horses. These succeed
ed in releasing a few of the animals.
but were soon driven out by dense
smoke
Flames were soon roaring to the roof
and ignited several wooden tenements
across the street. Firemen had the
building well surrounded with hose when
one of the walls gave way Eand three
men were caught in the falling masonry
and severely injured.
The fire was not under control until
about O'Clock and it burned fercely
during the rest of the morning.
The company lost all its books and
records kept since the business was
established.
