Rain of Fire Into River From Cables Shipping Moved From Underneath the Blaiz- ing Structure. ' ; New York, Nov. 10. The wood en superstructure of the New East river bridge caught fire from sparks from the forges used by the iron workers this afternooni and burned far into the night. Three lives are reported lost and great damage done, the amount of which it is difficult to estimate. The flames started at the Man hattan tower and did not slop un til the wooden foot bridge attach ed to the immense cables had been burned away. The sheds protect ing the hoisting machinery on top of the tower, together with ma chinery it will be difficult to du plicate, were destroyed. The blaze ras &H) feet in the! air and difficult for the firemen to reach. A stiff breeze was blowing- and the department could do nothing but prevent the flamas from spreading on the buildings be neath the bridge. s Burning embers dropped into the East river and ships had to be moved to safety. The men re- j ported lost perished when a part of the wooden footbridge fell. It is feared the big cables have suffered irreparable injury. At midnight it was denied by the contractors that any workmen had perished, but it is impossible to learn if any are missing until the men report for work tomorrow morning.
