Weinhard's One Life Lost-Fire Wan Inoen diary Immense Loss of Cot ton, etc Ship re New Liners. New Tork. Oct. 28,-Ftr. believed to have been of Incendiary origin, swept the piers, warehouses and shipping at the Bush Terminal Company's stores. South Brooklyn, early today. The loss Is estimated at more than one million, One life, that of a policeman, la known to have been lost, and that of another dead may be found lutes. A fireman was badly injured. Four fine ocean-going steamers were badly dumnged, having been nblaxe from bow to stern, and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of cotton, hemp, and the general cargo that the China ships bring In were partially destroyed. Aner a battle of more than three hours by the entire Brook lyn department, the flames were pro nounced under control. At first thr firemen could make no headway Fanned by a strong breeze, the smoke from the burning hemp prevented the men from approaching one section of the fire, while the blase In the bum Ing cotton and In the holds of the steamships could not be affected by the water. The known dead: Policeman Patrick Cunning, of Brooklyn, caught at the end of pier No. 8. The Injured: Benjamin Walsh, fireman, skull fractured in a fall down a hatchway, Walsh lay In the hold of the Cltta de Palmero for two hours while fire on the vessel was around him. As to the fate of the crews of the ships, nothing definite is known. The veBels were the American, Arlzonnn and Nebraskan, of the Ameri can and Hawaiian Steamship Com pany, and the Cltta de Palmero, of the Italian line. They were warped tight ly to the pier and tugs could not get alongside of them owing to the Intense heat That the Are was of incendiary ori gin is the belief of two private detec ts and two watchmen. Last Tues day morning fire In one of the many piers of the company also started mysteriously and destroyed $50,000 to $75,000 worth of cotton. Much 111 feeling Is said to exist be tween the Terminal Company and some of the residents of the neigh borhood because the company desired to close certain South Brooklyn streets. After Tuesday's fire the company em ployed private detectives and watch men were put half way out on pier No. 7, 1340 feet long and 140 feet wide. Alongside this pier lay the American- Hawaiian ships. Between them were lighters laden with cotton and hemp. On the pier was ton upon ton of gen- r Beer.

Borne four years ago I was suffering from impure blood and general run down condition of the system. I had no appetite, was losing flesh, and had an all gone tired feeling that made me misera ble. I began the use of S . 8. S., and after taking seven or eight bottles my skin was cleared of all eruption, and took on ruddy, healthy glow that assured me that my blood Tied been restored to its nor mal, healthy condition. My appetite was restored, as I could eat anything put be fore me, and as I regained my appetite I increased in weight, and that "tired feel ing" which worried tne to much disap peared, and I was once again my old self. I heartily recommend 8. 8. 8. as the best blood purifier and tonic made, and strongly advise its use to all those in need of such medicine. Victor Stubbixs, Cor.Barthman and Washington Ares. . Wheeling, W. V., May a8, 1903. My system was run down snd my joints ached and pained me considerably. I had used S. S. 8. before and knew what It was, so I purchased a bottle of it snd have taken several bottles and the aches and pains are gone, my blood hss been cleas td and my general health built up. I can testify to it as a blood purifier and tonic 1533 Market St. JohnCStkiw. If you have any symptoms of dis ordered blood write us and our physicians will advise you free.

In an In stant. the men declare, the flames hud spread apparently In every direction escape was cut off and within five minutes after giving the alarm to the watchman and crews aboard the dlf rerent vessels the watchmen Jumped Into the water, from which they were pulled soon afterward by the firemen. The spread of the fire was astound Ing. In ten minutes the long tiler was biasing from end to end and the llunus had caught the Xcbraskan. The culls of the men aboard were heard, but they could not be reached from land for the names arching over the high steamship fell upon the lighter Adelaide and over to pier No. where were stored thousands of bales of cotton and hemp. Its course there was quick and once outside the flames could not be repressed by water. It was then that steps were tuken to save the rest of the piers with the millions of dollurs of shipping and car goes. It was seen that the Cltta de Palmero, discharging at Pier No. (, was the best safeguard, for the great In n sides of the ship ruled as a guardiun to the wull of flumes and prevented their spread. The steum ship was at once abandoned to her fate. It was Impossible for the fire men or the few tugs avulluble to ap proach the burning ships, bound as they were to the blazing piers and throwing off the most Intense heat. Policeman Cushlng lost his life, It Is believed, when he made a reckless dush through the flames out on to the pier to give alarm to any person who might be aboard the ships The fire cut off his escape and a moment later scjuure of rooting fell over the spot. An unknown flremun, caught In the same manner, Jumped Into the water. His fate Is unknown. The dumairel vessels were ull new.
