The flames lighted up the whole
city and had it not been for the fact
that the wind was blowing in an OPP

Albany N. LINE New YOrk OIdIe
Capitol, erected at cost of $4,000,
900 caught fire shortly before O'Clock
in the morning and was practically
destroyed. The fire originated in
the west end of the great structure
on the third floor and the whole side
of the building is wrapped in flames
with which the firemen were power
less to cope.
The state library has been des
troyed and the grand western stair
way which alone cost $1,OO0,O00 has
been badly damaged.
The fire is believed to have been
caused by defective wiring in the ref
erence library of the assembly, in the
northwest corner of the building. One
of the orderlies says defect was dis
covered last week, which was report
ed,
The flames, fed by inflammable rec
ords and documents of priceless value
spread rapidly and the library was a
seething furnace when the firemen
arrived.
Priceless Documents Burned.
The fire quickly destroyed all bills
documents and papers, some of them
dating as far back as 1776. These
are irreplaceable. The library also
contained all the documents of the
codes and judiciary committees of the
present session.
The fire soon entered the document
room which was quickly doomed. The
flames ate up to the roof and swept
over, Illuminating the heavens and all
parts of the capital.
Five minutes later, the fire leaped
into the state library with roar, and
it's inflammable contents were licked
up like oil in a furnace. The great
oaken door was partly burned through
but the firemen were unable to pene
trate any point of advantage that
would enable them to train their hose
on the flames to success.
Nearing Assembly Chamber.
The firemen were badly hampered
in their early operations and the
flames, famed by north wind, ate
their way through the corridors and up
to the very doors of the assembly
chamber. In fact the fire was within
ten feet of the chamber before the
firemen could drag hose around from
State street.
The state library, with it's valuable
collections of books and documents,
including manuscripts and almost
priceless relics, was seen to be
doomed.
Every employee of theb capitol who
could be mustered into service Joined
the firemen in fighting the flames,
which swept along the corridors and
ate up the expensive furnishings of the
various rooms wherever they touch
Among the early arrivals was AS
semblyman Levy of New York, chair
man of the judiciary committee, who
said the assembly library contained
all the records of the legislative ses-
sions and thousands of law books.
Officials Rush to Scene.
State officials were routed out of
their beds and hurried to the blazing
building to rescue state records in
other departments, should they be-
come endangered Many legislators
were also on the scene.
The flames quickly made their way
to the state excise department on the
second floor, directly under the as
sembly library and the hall of the
court of claims on the floor above
was quickly destroyed.
At 4:45 o'clock the flames had swept
across the entire west section of the
building and were bursting into the
senate finance committee room and
the adjoining Office of the temporary
president of the senate. At that hour
