A THOUSAND HOGS 3URNED TO DEATH IN A FIRE : AT CHICAGO. A Million and m Quarter' of Dollars Gone Up In Smoke Tons of Roast Pork A Fireman Receives Fatal In juries from a Falling Wall. Chicago, June 27. Shortly before 5 o'clock yesterday morning fire broke out in the large packing house of the Chicago Packing and Provision company at the Union stock yards. It was already under Treat headway when discovered, and Fpread rapidly. It soon swept across from the packing house to a large storage house in which were 3,000 live hogs and 13,000 barrels of mess pork, the latter belonging to Armour & Co. Beforo the fire gained much headway in the storage house 2,000 of the hogs were driven out and about 300 barrels of pork saved; the rest of the bogs and pork were consume!. Tho entire 'lire department fought the flames with energy and persistency, but the packing company's buildings were entirely destroyed. A htorage house owned by Armour & Co. was some what damaged. The plant of tho Chicago I Packing and Provision company was valued at iuu,uuu. ine coniny nau just ciosea its season and was beginning to prepare for the fall trade, and in -onsequence had com-j paratively little stock on hand. Its loss is estimated at about $:V),00Q. The fact that no wind was blowing when the fire started was probably the only cir-cumstan-e that savd the entire stock yards from destruction. No ersoti seems to know the origin of the fire. Several saw the blaze simultaneously as it went through the roof of the tank house. The flames began to rapidly eat their way directly across the main building. Though the firo department was quickly at the scene, the fire had gained a volume that no amount of water could re duce Huge sweeping circles of flames were whirling upward with a roar that could be heard far blocks.' Twenty engines and every reservoir in the yards were soon brought into play. All efforts of the firemen and hundreds of stock yard employes were bent toward keeping the conflagration confined to the work3 of the Chicago company. It was at this juncture, while one little squad of firemen was standing in a freight car playing on the burning tank room, that the tanks explodod. A heavy beam slashed through the roof of the car, smashing Pipe man Baker's ankle and knocking Lieut. Elliott unconscious. Soon afterward the walls of the warehouse tumbled, disclosing great heaps of mess pork, P. D. Armour immediately set. 100 men to work removing tho meat. Charred barrels of it were rolled out and carted away. The little army "tramped over huge piles of loose pork and carried big chunks of it out on the railroad tracks, where it was thrown in heaps. Occasionally one of the workmen would drop a ten pound roast in a pool of water and splash his neighbors with a mixture of grease and much Carts and trucks were loaded from these heaps like garbage- wagons from the gutter. Mr. Armour, in a white hat and new spring suit, ruefully watched the mess of pork ami cin ders being cleared away, while his manager, Mr. Cudahy, stood on an elevatiqu of mess pork and superintended tha work. In the debris were carcasses of hogs roasted whole. . The charred bodies, shriveled into shapeless masses of cinders, were mingled with piles of brick, blackeued beams and in cinerated barrels. After the flames had con sumed most of the buildings the fire still held sway ia tho great mounds of burning meat. A smoke thick with the fumes of roasting pork rolled over the stock pens and drove into the eyes of the firemen. Falling walls filled the air with .particles of brick dust, blinding and suffocating the men, who were at times compelled to leave their hose and plunge their heads into buckets of water. T. en they sat in turns, with handkerchiefs dipped in water on their swollen eyelids, or bathed their blistered cheeks with dirty water. Perhaps the most exciting scene of the day was presented when 'the men who were at tempting to drive through tho covered run ways the live hogs in the upper stories were forced by the flames to desist. Below were scores of workmen rolling out barrels of jork. Down on the crowd pellmell leaped dozens of affrighted animals that had jumped from the windows or sprang through the open hatchways. The .men who had braved the flames fled from the falling hogs, and at a distance watched for glimpses of the squealing brutes that, crazed with pain, were rushing madly about in their tall prison of fire. About 200 barrels of pork wero saved before the hog3 commenced jumping. During the afternoon the firemen, gave their attention to saving the short ribs in the curing room. While a number of the men were inside the main building one of the division walls fell, inflicting injuries upon Fireman Murphy from which he died last night, and seriously injuring J. A. Seafer, W. White, Capt. Nichols and Thomas Elliott. Mr. Armour valued his 17,000 barrels of pork at 3C0.000. He said that with the sal vage and insurance he would come out even. He was unahle to give the amount of insur ance. The plant of the Chicago Packing and Provision company was valued at ?3(X),000 and the stock at $700,000. A large portion of the stock in store belonged to other parties, and the loss will be sustained by them. About halt of the Chicago Packing and Provision company's 2,000 employes will be thrown out of work. . Serious Charge Against a Preacher. Philadelphia, June 27.
