Energy Displayed by the Ama- teurs Left but Little for the Real Firemen to Do When They Arrived. ‘Twenty minutes after Justice Almet B. Jenks left his office, which ts one of } suite occupled by the Justices of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Ccurt in Borough Hall, Brooklyn, Po- Heeman Statton noticad a very thin curl of smoke coming from the room. “Fire!"’ shouted Statton. The cry was taken up, ani all the court officials, clerks and City Hall employees left thetr work. In a very short time a crowd of men were gathered on the second floor ready to put out the blaze, The smoke poured out of the Justices’ sulte as soon as the door was opened and filled all with the bellef that the entire floor was in flames, The excite- ment increased, and several private and one general alarm were turned in. The hose on the stands in the hall was uncolled, men got buckets and hatchets and stripped for a great fire fight. Two streams were turned into the room where the fire was. The place was pretty well soaked when the fire- men arrived, and they put the finishing touches on the conflagration. After the excitement had completely fled down and the appraisers had taken thelr valuations the damage was found to be confined to one desk, badly burned, and a one-time beautifully decorated Troom ruined by water.

Inquiries solicited, IGHT HANDLERS STAINE GROWING Clerks and Firemen Are Joining the Men Aiready Out as Fast as the Steamers Arrive at Their Piers. ‘The dig river-front strike initiated by the freight handlers at the Fall River line ‘# assunving slarming proportions to-day. Not only the freight clerks, but the firemen on the steamers of the Mil River line and the Stonington line, are going out as fast as the steamers come in, and the teamsters of the Independent trucking concerns, who stuck to the companies when the New England Com- pany's men went out, are to-day refus- ing to handle freight at the piers. The freight handlers are jubilant over the situation and declare that unless the Fall River and Stonington people soon come to terms they will tle up the en- tire river front. The strikers say that by to-morrow moming they will have the strike around on the East River. They are already ut work trying to Induce the freight handlers, the clerks and the teamsters at the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rallroad piers, No. 4 to No. 63 inclusive, on the East River, to Join them, and the Indica- tions, to-day were that they would be successful. To-day the 400 freight- handlers on the New Haven pliers ab- |- rolutely refused to handle any stuff sent over from the Fall River or Stoningtoa line plers The strikers huye completely captured the Stonington force. The freight han- ers are out, over 900 of them, and the teamsters’ have taken exactly the same attitude as those at the Fall River line. The City of Worcester got away last night with a substitute lot of fre- men, but the Rhode Isiand couldn't get men and remained at her dock all night. ‘The Richard Peck got away be- fore the strike was declared, but her men will go out when she returns. Tho Chester A. Chapin got in early to-day, and her firemen will atrike wish the rest at once. The Chapin is heavily loaded with perishable freight, none of which has been taken from her yet.
