DEPOT STRUoK By LIGHTNING AND BURNED
TO AsHEs.-A terrible thunder storm, says
the Tribune, passed over Chicago early on
Friday morning last, which was productive
of disastrous results in the destruction OF
the Pittsburgh, Ft. Wayne and Chicago, and
Alton and st. Louis Railroads. The light
ming is described as appearing to descend
upon the earth in broad sheets of fire. -
Shortly after one o'clock, flames were seen
issuing from the roof Of the passenger de-
pot, and despite the efforts of the fremen,
who were early on thu ground, the building,
with its contents, was burned to ashes.
Capt. Il. J. spaulding, for long time
connected with the Michigan Central Rail
Road, and now Depot Master for the Roads
using this building, occupied room in the
Office, and awoke soon after the structure
was fred. BE Immediately commenced So
curing the tickets and Office effects, and in
this endeavOr came very near forfsiting his
life. Returning to the Office a second time
TO carry away the company books and pa
pers, current of air suddenly caused the
door to close, and he tell to the floor in a
state Of partial sufoeation. At this time
the watchman employed about the premises
broke down the door, and succeeded in
dragging Mr.. spaulding into the open air,
not, however, until he was very seriously
burned about the head and shoulders. Mr..
Spaulding now lies in an exceedingly pre-
carious condition. Il is feared he may not
recover.
The building, which was q temporary
wooden one, moved upon the ground for oc-
cupancy until the new Union Depot should
be completed, was occupied by the Piits-
burgh, Fl. Wayne and Chicago and the Al
ton and SC. Louis Companies, and used as
an Ofics for the sale OF tickets and storage
of baggage. The tickets of the former com
pany were saved, as were also their money,
books and papers, all of which were in the
safe, and of course, out of resch of the de-
VOuring element. They were not so sue
eessful in securing the baggage, Of which
large amount was stored in the baggage
room. This wss unusually valuable. The
damage to the Pittsburgh, IT. Wayne and
Chicago Railroad Company, including the
building and baggage destroyed, will prOba-
bly, exceed ten thousand dollars. Besides
this, the Eastern mail, brought by the train
the preceding night, was destroyed, as was
also the Company's mail matter intended
to be sent forward by the morning train.
The loss sustained by the Alton and st.
Louis Company is much less serious. A
email amount of tickets were burned, and
a portion of the baggage, but this company
will not lose to exceed fifteen hundred or
two thousand dollars The Pittsburgh and
Fort Wayne Company will Immediately re-
build the depot for use until the great Union
Depot shall be completed. 'i 1
