ruined a building at 51-01 Broadway, the
premises of the Morris European, the
American and other express companies,
causing a loss of )iifi.i1 or more.
Being so near Wull street, the blaze
attracted more than MD.OiH) spectators. It
took Boo policemen to maintain order. The
building burned was an nld-fashioned five
story structure overlooking Trinity church.
One fireman was cut by fulling glass. Sev
eral clerks slid down a rope to escape the
flames, while others ran across roofs to
adlolnlng buildings.

way, compelling nil In the building to flee
to the street. Before leaving, clerks hastily
threw IU.oi In gold, silver and checks
Into canvas bags and carried the treasure
in safety to a bank.
Several alarms called out forty-four com
panies to fight tho Are. Chief Croker was
called from the death bed of his mother In
Bloom Held. N. J., so threatening did the
blase appear at. one time. The fire was
controlled at S o'clock in the afternoon,
having been conlined to the building in
which It started.
Two-Ma Tarsed la.
Closely following the first alarm a "four"
was turned In and then, with the warning
of the Baltimore fire In mind, a "two-nine."
the dreaded general alarm, followed En
gine after engine, followed by their hose
trucks, water towers and larger trucks,
swept clanging down Broadway, the only
street of access lo the Ore, bringing in
their wake thousands of people to swell
the crowd that already packed every Inch
of standing room in the vicinity. Bursting
hose and a back roll of choking smoke now
and then drove them back and aided the
police reserves to clear the streets.
The fire started In the basement of one
of the three express company buildings,
which adjoin each other. Kmoke was first
seen coming from the flagging of the side
walk and almost Immediately flames burst
forth, driving employes from their desks
and necessitating hurried efforts to stve
books and effects.
Department Ansrri "Two Maes."
For more tnan an hour after the first
alarm engines and other apparatus con
tinued to sweep down Broadway, the
"two-nine" alarm calling out companies
from as far north as Harlem, the horses
blowing from their eight-mils run. For the
first time in years the spectators eaw some
of the old-fashioned two-wheel hose reels.
which were pressed Into service to bi ing
extra hose. About fifty fire companies
were on the scene.
Trinity church Is just north of the fire
and as the crowds began to pack the street
ihey overflowed Into the historic old church
yard with Its ancient graves and monu
ments. ' An attempt was mad to clear
them out and lock the gates, but without
much success.
At the beginning the firemen were handi
capped by a very low water pressure. One
hydrmit. almost In front of the fire, did
not flow at all for fifteen or twenty min
utes and a water tower, hurriedly put In
action, sent so weak a stream that It hardly
reached the building. Meantime the firs
escape on the back of the buildings were
alive with employes loaded down with
books, papers and bags, and now and then
a woman employs being bslped down tbs
precarious structure.
Ths fir occurred la two numbers of a
j series of old-fashioned flv-story buildings
of the Iron and glass class that was com
mon fifteen or twenty years ago. The two
burned buildings were on the extreme south
of the block, bordered by Exchange alley.
On the north these buildings reached to
the big sky scraper known as the Empire
huirdlng. fron which the tenants were or
dered out Just before It was seen that the
fire was under control.
Hard Work 'ecesnry.
Deputy Chief Blnns explained that he
turned In the "two nine" alarm in order
to get as strong a Torre of tnen as possible
at work in the rear of the building, fore
seeing that If the blaze was not checked
there It would rage until It burned Itsilf
out.
The character of the neighborhood In the
rear Justifies this belief. For several blocks,
in fact clear to the Hudson river, Is a
mass of very old buildings, many of them
used as warehouses and of an extremely
Inflammable characur. Once well started
there. It Is probable that the fire ou!d
have eaten Its way to the river and
wharves, ferry docks and other valuable
property, that line the river at this point,
being Imperiled.
The fire Is said to have started In the
"Old Horse" Junk room In the building at
M Broadway. The building at No. a
Broadway was destroyed; 67, M and 63 were
scorched and damaged . by water. The
American Express company at 6o Bread
way and the Adams Express company at
69 Broadway suffered considerable loss by
water, but their buildings were not greatly
damaged by fire.
