NEW YORK, March 13. — By a fire which broke out early this morning, in the six-story building at 33 and 35 South Fifth avenue, Nikola Tesla, the well-known electrician, the man who has been the rival of Thomas A. Edison, was burned out.
His shop plant, and all his apparatus for conducting the scientific experiments upon which the gaze of the whole world is riveted these days, were destroyed, with everything else in the building. The loss is estimated at $100,000.
The other floors of the building were occupied by Gillis & Geoghegan, manufacturers of steam-fitters' supplies.
