Jamra Beooxs Destr p—In less than half an hour after the fire broke out in the New York Express building, the fourth floor, in which were the offices of James and Erastus Brooks and the rooms of the dra: jc aud art report- ers, and some of the editors, was totaily ruined. The library of Mr. Brooks was one of the first in the country, containing many rare and valuable beoks. In statistical works it was particalarly rich, and the loss to its owner—who is a man of well-known literary tastes—is very severe. Tue library was situated between the rooms of the two brothers, and from its situation it could not be saved. The money loss by the burning of the library is estimated at $10,000. In the cor- Der of the building adjoining the hotel was an elevator, used for lowering the type when set up, and through this the fire burned fiercely clean up to the roof.
