WESTERN UNION FIRE Widespread Damage Done by the Conflagration BUSINESS PARTIALLY PARALYZED The Great New York Headguarters of the Western Union Telegraph Company Gutted—Exciting Scenes at the Fire—Some Hairbreadth Escapes—The Great Exchanges at a Standstill and the Entire Tele graph Service the Country Crippled. of New York, July 19.—Fire swept through the great Western Union build- ing yesterday. It gutted the three upper floors, and almost completely cut off communication with the entire country. A number of men and women were rescued from the burning building by means of the fire department life line service, Half a million dollars will barely gover the actual losses, Half a million more is considered almost inadequate to dissipate the losses incurred by the com- pany in its failure to send the thousands of dispatches, the burning of valuable SOO and the consequent troubles that will arise therefrom. With wonderful pluck and energy the officers have already secured new guar- ters, where business will be resmmed. Operators have been distributed - out the varions branch offices, raiiroad stations and other telegraph quarters in this city and neighboring towns where the crippled work is being carried on as well as circumstances will permit. Women on the Roof. At the start of the fire six women em ployed in the restaurant at the top of the building finding their egress to the street cut off made their way to the balcony that runs around the roof, and there, hurrying up and down its nar- row confines, frantically wrung their hands, and between the puffs of smoke and flames that came from the windows of the battery room below, made ap- peals for help. Chief of Batallion Lally, with hook and ladder No. 10, under command of Foreman Binns, with the lines of En- gine Companies 20, 6 and 4, entered through the Dey street side, and drag- ging the heavy lines to the eighth floor, fought their way into the battery room floor, and driving the powerful streams of water right and left made t to the stairway leading to the room. It was ap this ope fire had made its way tion of the building. A Terrible Fight for Life, For five minutes the fight was a terri ble one to sufficiently subdue the flames to get upon the floor above, from which the windows opened on to the baleon) where the women were At last the water gained the victory, and when the way was sufficiently clear the men of No. 10 hook and ladder, with Chief Lally, dashed up and quickly taking the thoroughly demoralized women, car- ried them down through the smoke to a place of safety. About the same time five men were taken from the windows the north gide of the building that overlooked the roof of 201 Broadway. This rescue was effected by Lieut. McCann, of the Mur- ray street insurance patrol. Business at a Standstill, The fire created havoc in the big of fices in the vicinity of Wall street, just as it did in business houses all over the country. Nearly all of the Western Union connections were throngh the prating room in the main building. Consequently out of town business com munication was almost entirely shut off The railroads all over the country will feel the effects of the fire very strongly, as most of their dispatches go through the operating room of the Western Union. Quotation cables from London were received as nsual. The fire had no ap- preciable effect on the stock market. At the opening there was a weak attempt to raid Western Union. The first quot- ation was § per cent. off, but the price rallied almost immediately. my r on Exchanges Crippled. The result of the big fire upon the grain market at the Produce Exchange was a general deadening of all trading. Liverpool or other foreign cables were not to be bad, nor any official govern- mental weather news, or any reports from Philadelphia, Saltimore and other points as to receipts and exports, At the New York Consolidated Stock and Petroleum Exchange the oil oper- ators were much inconvenienced by the failure of the regular oil tickers, usually furnishing Oil City, Bradford and Pitts burg market prices and general petro- leum news to operators. At the cotton and other down town exchanges all business was more or less thrown out of gear hy the failure of the tickers, with the exception of the rail road stock machines, to [nrnish news, The maritime exchange and shipping circles down town are practically dead.
