A DESTRUCTIVE FIRE
Visits the City of New York, Doing
Gr&t Damage.
BUILDINGS WRECKED ANd BURNED.
■ •
There Were Not Less Than Thirtj
Lives Lost, With a Property Loss
' of $2,500,000.
New York, Special.—The long list of
fire horrors that have occurred in and
around the city of New A r ork, a list
that incliC - Royal Hotel fire, the
Park Plac,, iter and the Windsor
and Hot^ pc ' ps, was added to Mon
day by explosion that shook
the lower~*bbd of Manhattan like an
earthquake, hurled a severn-story
building intcp‘'"*3 air and set fire to
two blocks of biv ’>ngs, with a loss of
life that only of the hun
dreds of men rushed to the
work of digging away the grains as
soon as the fire was extinguished,
will reveal. The big building of lar
rfint and Cos., makers of medicinal
specialties, standing at uie north
west corner of Greenwich and Warren
streets, and filled with chemicals,
took fire in some way that may never
be knowm, at about a quarter after 12
o’clock in the afternoon. It was 16
minutes afterw r a,rd that a citizen rush
fd into the house of Fire r.ngine No.
0, on Chambers street, near Green
wich and shouted that Tarrent’s drug
house was on fire. He had seen a
volume of black smoke coming rrom
the third story window. An alarm
was turned in. Soon afterwards,
second and third alarms were turned
in. One fire company had just ar
rived when a terrific explosion occur
red and threw the entire engine’s
crew down the stairway. The fire
men.. realizing the danger of their
position, Tushed out of the building to
the street. The explosion had filled
the street in front with a shower of
falling glass and small debris, which
sent the crowd, which was already
gathered on the opposite sidewalks,
fleeing for safety and caused the
houses hitched to the engines to rear
and try to get away.
The force of the explosion tora
away the walls of the commission
store houses fronting on Washington
street and caused them to collapse,
falling all at once in a mass, and
flames burst out from the Tarrant
building and caught the wreck. The
explosion demolished windows and
wooden structures about it. In a mo
ment Warren street was choked up
with a mass of debris and the whole
place was aflame. The great explos
ion was followed by half a dozen more
or less intense, and by a countless
number of smaller ones. By this time
the fire apparatus was arriving from
every direction. Deputy Chief Ahern
came about two minutes after the
second explosion, and he at once or
dered a fifth alarm sent out, followed
by a general call for ambulances. The
explosion and fire together had now
assumed the proportions of a great
catastrophe and it was at first thought
that hundreds of lives had been lost.
Throngs of people were rushing about
in the neair-by streets, many of them
panic-stricken, fleeing from the fire.
They mingled in the crowd that was
rushing down from -roadway to see
whatt had happened. Half an hour
after the explosion the streets for
blocks around the fire were crowded
with fire apparatus with a score of
ambulances, while hundreds of police
were bbing rushed from all th® lower
precincts of the city to form lines,
and many priests from near-by pari
shes were going here and there in the
smoke-obscured thoroughfares see -
ing for injured who might need their
aid. ,
As the result of the fire, a dozen
buildings were blown down and a score
of ethers were damaged. The loes of
life is not known, but from all sour
ces of information it is gathered that
there are perhaps the bodies of 30
persons in the ruins, though because
of the hot debris and the slowness of
the moving of it, no body had been
removed up to midnight. The dis
aster was one of the most terrible
that has ever occurred in this city and
rivals the Windsor Hotel fire in its
appalling results, though in loss of
property it will be worse. Chief 1 co
ker of the fire department, said that
the lose is fully $1,500,000. The ac.ion
of the tremendous catastrophe was
more vivid and awful than the city
has seen for a long time. Buildings
fell in on themselves or toppled over
on others, iron girdeTS were thrown
yards away, smashing through great
walls, whole structures fell into the
streets in piles so that the line of
thoroughfare could not be marked
out, huge splinters of iron, steel and
wood; were flying into the streets and
into the buildings, clean through cue
walls, where they buried men and
women. People walking through the
streets were knocked down and dan
gerously injure b y timbers, glass and
steel, horses were thrown down, wag
ons, windows, store fronts and all
sorts of property for blocks in every
direction were wrecked and damaged.
There were 35 persons reported miss
ing and one hundred men. women
and children are on the list of the in
jured. Search for bodies is going on
steadily. Chief Croker said that no
firemen had perished m the fire, ah his
,uieu having been accounted lor.

THANKSGIVING DAY.
The President Sets Apart November
29th In Usual Proclamation.
Washington, D. C., Special.—The
State Department has issued the fol
lowing:
By the President of the United States
of America.
A PROCLAMATION.
It has pleased the Almighty God to
bring our nation in safety and honor
through another year. The works of
religion and charity have everywhere
been manifest. Our country ttfrough
all its extent has been blessed with
abundant harvests. Labor and the
great industries of the people ha' *
prospered beyond all precedent' '
commerce has spread ovei
Our power and Influences 1
of freedom and enlightenmi
tended over distant seas ant
lives of our official representatb 4j|
many of our people in China hr *>een
marvelously preserved. We hare
generally exempt from pestilence an
other great calamities, and even the
tragic visitation which overwhelmed
the city of Galveston made evident thi
sentiments of sympathy and Christian
charity by virtue of which we are one
united people.
Now, therefore, I, William McKin
ley, President of the United States, do
hereby appoint and set apart Thurs
day, the 29th of November next, to bi
observed by all the people of the United
States, at home or abroad, as a day ol
Thanksgiving and praise to Him who
holds the nations in the hollow of His
hand.
I recommend that they gather in
their several places of worship and de
voutly give Him thanks for the pros
perity wherewith He has endowed u?j
for seed time and harvest, for the val
or, devotion and humanity of our ar
mies and navies and for all His bene
fits to us as individuals and as a na
tion; and that they humbly pray fo?
the continuance of His divine favor,
for concord and amity with other na
tions, and for righteousness and peacd
in all our ways.
In witness I have hereunto set my
hand and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this
29th day of October, in the year of Our
I-ord, one thousand nine hundred, and
of the independence of the United
States, the one hundred and twenty*

(Signed.) WILLIAM McKINLEY.
IB- the President.
JOHN HAY, Secretary of State
A Sober View.
Berlin, By Cable. —More sober views
about China now prevail here, owing,
doubtless, to the fact that Count Von
Bulow is known to entertain reason
able ideas about Germany's tangible
interests therein, and that his influ
ence, as Imperial Chancellor, upon the
impetuous Emperor, and especially In
foreign affairs, is decidedly greater
than Prince Hohenloe's. It is now
generally believed here that the Chi
nese muddle will slowly but surely
unravel itself and lead to a satisfac
tory issue without necessitating any
further large amount of actual hos
tilities, or an elaborate strategic cam
paiin. All the utterances of the semi
official 'press this week show this be
lief Only the military party is dis
satisfied with this view. Douts are
still entertained here though regard
ing the value of the credentials of Li
Hung Chang and Prince Ching, and
their ability to enforce the tf>ms of
any agreement reached. The alleged
latest edicts of Emperor Kwang Su
are also regarded here with suspicion
and even the possibility that LI Hung
Chjaqg himself is their author or in
stigator, to facilitate the negotiator’s
task,' is considered.
v - Barbarities of Novlco.
By Cable, —The rebel Cap
tain Novlco has been tried by a mili
tary commission at Baler, Northern
Luzon, charged with burying alive a
i-seaman named McDonald, of Lieuten
ant Yorktown party. Novlco.
was found guilty and sentenced to
death. The sentence is
now in the hands .of General Mac-
Arthur for approval.
Effthquake at Caracas.
baraeas, Venezuela, By Cable. —At
4:46 a. m. Monday, Caracas was visited
by a severe earthquake. Fifteen per
sons were killed nd many others in
jured. Great damage was * done to
buildings, including the Pantheon and
the churches. The United States lega
tion was badly damaged, but all the oc
cupants escaped unhurt. President
Castro, who leaped from a balcony on
the second floor of the government
house, had one of his legs broken. Wm.
Hem v Doveton Haggard, the British
minister, had a miraculous escape, the
second floor of the British legation
having fallen upon him and buried him
in the debris.

ity for damages to railroad property
luring the strike of 1894, in whleh
more than $2,000,000 involved, were
virtually decided in the city's favor by
a jury in Judge Hancey s court. A
verdict of not guilty in the case of
Armour and Cos. against the city of
Chicago is interpreted by Corporation
Counsel Walker to mean that the
litigating companies will not be able
to recover damages for the destruction
of railroad property during the great
■trike.

county, Captain W. B. Pendleton, a
one-legged Confederate soldier and ex

culty grew out of differences regard
ing adjoining lands cf the parties and
there had been bad blood between
them for some time. The men met in

Pendleton an ugly name and drew a
