Fire Rages Through Dry Goods District In New York
A major fire in Manhattan’s dry goods district destroyed parts of a six story brick building from West 18th to West 7th streets. The blaze injured about twenty firemen, shattered over forty windows at the Siegel-Cooper store, and led to a temporary halt of water and steam lines. Captain McGuire of Engine 3 was badly hurt but survived. Fire crews fought through the night while police kept lines and workers boarded up damaged storefronts.
