Great Dry Goods House In Chicago Burned.
On Wednesday evening, the 18th, the
mammoth retail dry goods store of Field,
Letter & Co., Of Chicago was burned. The
fire originated, according to an eye witness
OF Its incipien"y, near the stove, and, prob
ably, from IL at tho north elevator and was
spread not only by the elevators, but by the
light shaft in tho middle Of the building,
which extends from garret to basement
and is 40 by 80 feet in extent. The building
was owned by the Singer manufacturing
company. and cost when built, some five
years ngo S75O,OO0, and is worth now at
least half million. Tho walls which were
impaired by an earlier fire, have never been
as strong as they should be and are now so
shaky that they will doubtless como down.
The building may therefore be considered
very nearly total loss.
An accident happened to the lremcn by
which one was killed outright and four
others wcro taken from tho ruins so badly
hurt that they will probably die.
The stock is variously estimated at from
ce-fourths of n million to II million and
a half. Mr.. Field himself estimates it at
about one million dollars. The manager of
the retail department says there was Il rc-
tail stock in the store of three quarters of
a million dollars and from quarter to n
half million OF the wholesale stock stored
in the basement.
