FIRE AT HOBQKEN.
Four Ocean Liners Burned to the Wa' ,
ter's Edge.
THREE GREAT PIERS DESTROYED.
A Fire Tint Starts in Bales of Cotton
Results in Fearful Lost of I if.? nml
Property.
New York. Special.?The four great |
piers of the North German Lloyd Lino
in Hoboken were totally destroyed by j
.fire Saturday afternoon. The passenger
steamship Saale, the freight and
passenger steamship Maine ancl the i
frieiglit and passenger steamship Bremen
of the North eGrman Lloyd Line,
were burned to the water's edge. The
Hamburg Line steamship Phoenicia, a
passenger steamship, was also burned
to the water's edge.
Campbell's storage warehouses on '
the opposite side of the street, five big
buildings in all and each five stories
high were also burned. The loss at the
prestTit time is roughly estimated at
$10,000,000.
From what can he learned the flames
started among a large pile of cotton
bales on Pier No. 2, of the North German
Lloyd Steamship Company and
spread with such remarkable rapidity
that in fifteen minutes the entire property
of .the company, taking in over
iiinu ui ii iniif1 01 water cront and
consisting of three great piers, was
completely enveloped in a lui^o blaze
that scat threat clouds of smoke high
tip int? the air. The tlanies started so
suddenly and gained such headway
that the people on the piers and on
the numerous vessels docked were unable
to reach the street. There wee
great gangs of workmen on the piers,
and these together with a number of
people who were at the docks on business
and visiting the ships scattered
in all directions. As all means of exit
were cut off by the flames they were
forced to jump overboard and no doubt
a great number of people were drowned.
At the docks for the North German
Lloyd were the Saale, a single
screw passenger steamship of 4,063
gross tons; the Bremen a twin screw
passenger and freight steamer of 10,526
tons and the Main, a twin screw
freight and passenger steamer of 12.200
gross tons. They all caught fi re
and wore burned to the water's edge.
The Kadser_\Yjllielm tier Grosse, which
had just come in. was the only one of
the four big vessels at the dock that
escaped.
The fire was discovered by a
watchman on the pier at four o'clock.
He saw a small streak of flame shoot
from a hale of cotton on Pier No. 2.
at which was docked the steamer
Saale. lie immediately sent In an
alarm.
In a few minutes the flames had extended
to the steamship and were communicated
to the adjoining pier on the
north. Here were docked the Kaiser
Wilhelm dor Grosse and the Main
Tugs were immediately made fast to
the big Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse
and she was gotten out into midstream
with safety, although badly

Min. however, was doomed, as the
flames had already become so fierce on
the northside of the pier that no tug
rould approach the vessel. Then, by a
shift in the wind the flames were sent
in tli'* direction of Pier No. 1. which
was to the south end of Pier No. 2. To
the north of Pier N >. 1 was the dock of
tiie Hamburg-American Line, at which
the steamship Phoenicia, a twin screw
passenger steamer of 7.7?il gross tons
was docked. The flames got a good
hold on the Phoenicia, and she was
towed out into midstream ablaze.
The officials of the Hamburg-American
Line then derided that the only
way to prevt nt a total destruction of
their grett pier was to blow up the
- ide of the dork at which the Phoenicia
lay. and this was done. A number of
barges docked at the pier also took
fire, but in the effort to save the other
property, no attention was paid to
them and they were allowed to burn.

holds of the vrss Is was frightful, and
it is said that many of the crows who
wore a-loop at t.lio time were imprisoned
tii. ;o. The worst falo will conic
from tlm steamship Main, which was
unable to bo towed from the pier.
The vessel had only arrived iti Hie
morning and some passengers were
still on board, and when the cry of lire
w.. raised a number of them \\t re se? n
to run to the br. ning decks. Most of
Shorn jumped overboard, and. save for
the few who were picked up by tho
tugs not cne has been heard from, nlthough
every hotel and hospital In tincity
of liohoken ia crowded with injured.
Some of the passengers of the Main
tried to c rape to the pier, and it \va*
almost certain that they penished in
the tlamos. There was panic on each
of the ships. Many persons jumped
overboarff and ihe water for some distance
along the docks was lined with
people. They were clinging to the piers
aqd even to the rudders of the burning
vessels. Some were picked up; many
wore drowned. Peter Quinn, a justice
of flie peace in Hoboken, tells a story
of having eeen at least 30 pe pie p.*-ish.
He said:
"I was standing on the end of one of
the Hamburg-American Line pier? and
saw about thirty people crowd under
Pier No. 1 of the North German Lloyd.
They were calling to some of the passing
tug-boats, but their appeals were
in vain, and when the flames got near
to them they dived into the water.
There was no assistance near them at
the time, and 1 bellev.e everyone was
either drowned or perished in the
flliniPR "
About 200 people were rescued at the
Hamburg-American Hue pier. They
were much overcome from exhaustion,
but soon revived with stimulants.
lly 7 o'clock the three piers of the
North German ldoyd Steamship oCmpany
had been burned to the ground.
The SoulVern end of the Campbell stor
age company building, consisting of
five structures caught fire and the
flames shot from every window from
the two floors 'in but a few minutes.
The buildings, being filled mainly with
jute and whiskey, burned rapidly.
The firemen were unable to go within
fighting distance and the fire had pretty
much its own way t^ere.
In these buildings great loss will bo
sustained.

Needless to say. this letter was answered
as the first. I'lic'e Sam's excellent

were of such a nature that the public

to relate that the results have
been so satisfneory that a recent letter
from the Cuban Isle intimates that
Mr. Smith will soon secure a leave of
