CurAGo, Oct. 3O.-A general alarm OF
fire was turned in at noon yesterday llolA
box 756, at the corner OF North oiaiN
and Kinzic streets, caused by the con1lagra-
finn at the southeast corner of La Sala and
Michigan streets. The doomed building was
what is known as IIemlock Block. III was
q brick structure, six stores HlSh,
eleven windows wide in front ana
rear. and running back to the alley III the
middle of the block, the street numbers De-
ing 1872, 1874, 1876 and 12s Michigan street
1t is owned by MI. C. L. Culver, and was
occupied by a number of tenants, carrying
on different kinds Of manufacturing busl-
ness. The ground floor was occupied by
Schnabel q Co., as a barDcd-WlIe lellce
factory: the second floor by the Camppcll
Printing Press Company; the third by Dan
heiser Co, manufacturers of chewing-gum;
the fourth and fifth were occupied by w. e..
Fisher. cigar-boX maker, and the sixth had
been occupied by the Adams IL Westlake
Manufacturing Company, but was vacated
on October IA.
In Fishers box factory there were em-
ployed twenty-one men and eighteen girls.
The superintendent of the factory, James
Carr, assembled the th%irty-nine people,
told them not to be alarmed and then
led them to the stairs, which We're
%tirc-proof, and they descended safely
to the ground. 10 make sure that
none were left, he returned. but so quickly
did the flames rarmcate the building that
he found his means OF escape cut OH. he
ran to the roof and appealed to the fire
men, now on the spot below, to save him.
Some of them ran to the top OF the next
building i'll the rear and threw him a rope,
while others on the ground held a tar
paulin to catch him should he fall. Ho
glasped the rope and swung Off, but, un-
fortunately for so brave a man, lost his hold
and, to the horror of the spectators, he
came whirling through the air. He fell on
the t%arpaulin with such terrific force that it
was torn, and striking the stones below he
was picked up insensible and fatally in
jured. He was taken to the Hospital, where
he died few hours later.
The third story was occupied by Dan
heiscr Bros, chewing-gum manufacturers
They employed twelve girls. These got
out by means of the tirc-escape, but when
twenty feet from the ground eight of then
jumped and were slightly injured. AS far
as known these were the only casualties.
The fire broke out among the oil used il
the manufacture of the barbed wire on the
ground floor, and from there spread with
lightning rapidity through hatchways, ele
vators and stairways to the floors above,
soon having the whole building cnvelopcd
in smoke and flame. The loss is roughly
estimated at $3.50, 900.

HORROR IN A THEATER.

A False Cry of Fire in the Star Thcater,
Glasgow, Creates Il Fatal Panic-Sixtccn
People Tramplcd to Death in the Mad
Rush for Life Which Ensued.
GLASGOW, Nov. "a serious panic o-
Cured Saturday evening at the Star Thea
ter, caused by a cry of fire. During the rush
of the audience to escape from the building
sixteen people were killed and twelve Sc
riously injured. The performance had pro-
er nine O'Clock, when some one shouted
"Fire!" The whole audience instantly rose
to their feet and made arush to the several
exits. The great mass of people i'll the
pit in rushing thercfrom, met a crush
ing crowd pouring down from the gallery.
The fearful and fatal block followed. Wild
smieks of agony and despairing cries for
help could not then be answered. The
mass of panic-stricken and struggling
humanity was appealed to by officers OF the
theater and by the police to hold back, but
the appeals were UNDECIDED. The crazed
crowd 1rantically pressed toward the out
lets, tlampling down and over the weaker
ones, until the street was reached.
When the tlleater was finally cleared
sixteen corpses were found on the stars
leading from the gallery, and twelve per
sons were so badly injured that they only
gave evidence that life was not extinct by
their piteOuS meanings.
Upon the first alarm being rung the whole
fire brigade quickly went to the rescue, anu
with the police, did their utmost to allay le
panic and rescue the dead and dying, nut
they were too late to be of much eilecll'JI
service. Police and citizens finally succeeded!
in forcing their way into the building, anu
then aided all they could to escape " ,he
street: but the mass was so Wedged lNa'
they were sadly interfered with i'll t!el
humane labors.
The city ambulance corps conveyed tio
victims, the wounded and dead, to the Ill.
Urinary. The wounded were so overcome
they were as helpless as the dead.
1t was learned that the author of the cry
of fire was a former employe of the t,lea'tl
who had been dismissed. The ailaiei'co
numbered about 1000 people. The per
formance was chiefly music-hall business

THROWN OVER A BANK,
Many italian Emisrants Injured in a Rail-
road Wreck i'll Southern Illinois.

AoAu SSACch III 3ouLlcTu llllOlS
TAYLoRv1LLE, ILL.,, Oct. 2s.-Betwcen
Two and three O'Clock yesterday morning a
collision occurred on the Wabash Road near
this place, which resulted in the disabling
OF a number Of Italian emigrants, two of
whom are not expected to survive. The
West-bound freight train from Toledo was
being run in two sections. At
tached to the rear of the first sec
ton was a coach containing forty
three Italians, a great many Of whom were
ONE and children. When the first sec
ton reached the top of a steep grade near
Clarksdale the coupling next the engine
broke and the locomotive dashed down the
grade, followed by the train. The cars
came to ahalt at the foot of the grade, and
a man went back to signal the second sec
ton, which was coming only a short dis
lance behind. The brakeman ran back sew
eral hundred yards, but meanwhile the sec
ond section had acquired a terrific
tum coming down the grade. The
engineer reversed the locomotive and,
with the fireman, jumped for his
life. Tn engine crashed into the car
containing the unfortunate Italians and
tossed it down a ten-foot embankmcnt.
Half a dozen freight cars were sent after
the coach, but the engine, though badly
wrecked, stuck to the rails. When the
wreck was chopped away so that the inn
pfsoned emigrants could be taken out it was
found that over a dozen of the unfortunate
people were more or less injured, two chill
dren, it is feared, fatally. Several had an
arm or leg broken, and one man had his
w lip torn from the gums. The wounded
were brought here. The loss to the COM
pany will be about SIS, 900.

MINT STATISTICS.

lIe Circulation Oh tho country IS AoO0S
Twenty Dollars Per Capita.
CHICAGO, Oct. 3O.-Horatio Burchard,
Director of the United States MINIS, was in
the city yesterday. In conversation with a
reported he said he had prepared his annual
report to Congress, and it showed that the
amount of gold received by the minis this
year, less the gold deposited for coinage,
is far less than the previous year. Thi.
fact was owing to the Philadelphia
mint being occupied in the recoinage of a
portion OF the gold currency called in, and
thus not being able to coin gold or bullion.
There was deposited in all the minis $780,
100000 in gold, including foreign deposits.
OF this $50, 900, 600 wa produced in this
country. There was also deposited 49,
600, 900 i'll silver. Themints coined 81, O0O,-
900 in silver for the Hawaiian Government.
Twenty-Five millions in gold bars were sent
abroad. The increase in the cir
culating coin Of the country has been:
Gold, SIS, 900, 900; silver, S22, 600, 900. The
amounts OF all kinds of money in circula-
total amount in the National banks and
Treasury, together with that in circulation,
is 81, 800, 000, 900, exceeding in volume
that of any former period i'll the history of
the country. Comparing deposits and ex-
ports for the first eight months of last year
with q similar period this year,
and the indications are that the decline
in gold bullion will be 81, 600, 900,
and the increase of silver So, 900, 900. The
exhibit of the export and import of gold for
the eight months of 1854 ending October 1,
shows a balance of $500, 900 against us.
Mr.. Burchard expresses the belief that the
outflow OF gold will not increase. The
crop movement. which has now set in. NAV
be looked to as likely to set the current the
other way, and all influx can be looked for
until this ceases.
