ORIGIN OF THE FIRE.

ORIGIN OF THE FIRE.
Various opinions are expressed in
this connection. Some argue that 1t
started in an oil factory and was clear
ly . case of spontaneous combustion,
while others claim it originated in the
smonldering ruins of q fire which &C.
CURED on the third Of July. Indica-
tions however, tend to show that il was
set on fire by . Polish Jew in order to
collect insurance which was obtained
under worry suspicious circumstances.
One fact however is patent to all that
II it had not been for the
MISERABLE INEFF1c1ENcE OF THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT.,
II could have been extinguished with
comparative ease before it assumed
very damaging proportions. But the
engines did not arrive on the ground
for q long time after the alarm was
sounded, and when they did arrive
they idiotically began to throw water
in the rear. and while they were trying
to save some comparatively worthless
rookery the FIRE swept ON until II
reached the two and three story bull.
dings on State street. Only . few
minutes elapsed sitter the fire reached
this street, until q solid blaze, covering
an area of many acres, threw its lurid
glare far out on the blue waters of the
lake and the heavens was one melting,
hizzing sea Of flame. The heat was SO
intense that heavy brick and stone
walls crumbled into fragments even
before the flames reached them.
Strong men trembled, and tears
glistened in their eyes a. they saw the
product of years of toll engulphed in
a few brief moments.
FOURTH AVENUE
has long been considered one Of the
wickedest localities in the city and
some are rejoiced that the fire has
wiped 1t out. II was tho home of the
cyprian, and easy virtue made itself a
staple Of merchandise. II was here
that vice Haunted its gilded insignia,
and thieves rioted upon their pillage.
Five hundred prostitutes are homeless.
Their magnificent furniture, costly
carpets and rich wardrobes are all
gone. They were hurried into the
street by the encrouching flames en-
dsishabslle, just having time to save
their lives. 12.
The wooden buildings on Third
avenue and State street gave the fire
such an impetus that nothing could
stay the flames. If they had been
blown up the beautiful and expensive
residences on Wabash and Michigan
avenues, which have SO long been the
pride of the city, could have been
saved.
The aristocratic inhabitants of these
two avenues have not been in the
habit of moving and being forced to
do 30 on such short notice was very
shocking to their sense Of propriety.
THE BURNT DISTRICT
covers an area Of about sixty acres
and with its fragmentary walls and
low chimneye looks the picture Of
desolstion. b
THE Loss OF THE FIRE
IL estimated ct from four to five mill
ions and will probably fall short of this.
The insurance companies are up on
their ear and threaten to withdraw
from the city. The Board of Under
writer's held an indignation meeting
this morning. Thcy accuse the Fire
Marshal of criminal negligence and
general ineficiency. Notwithstanding
their bitter feelings they will be re-
quested to come down with the
