A CHICAGO FIRE.
Forty five Million Feet of Lumber Burned
Loss and Insurance.

CHICAGO, ILL, May 9.-Shortly after
noon yseterdaya spark from passing loco
motive set fire to the heart of the great
pine lumber district which lies along both
sides Of the south branch of the Chicago
River, and near the southwestern city limits.
Bordering upon this is wooden built por-
ton of the city known as Bridgeport and
the Union Stock Yards, with its acres Of
wooden sheds and pens filed with cattle,
hogs and sheep. A fierce wind was blow
ing from the west and the flames spread
with great rapidity. The entire fire depart
meut was called out and began fighting
the flames, but the twenty or thirty streams
of water which could be thrown upon them
had little or no effect as far as staying
their progress was concerned. The dry
pine boards and shingles were piled to great
heights, only narrow lanes being left be
tween them for wagons to pass through.
These narrow lanes furnished unusual facil-
tiles for the progress OF the flames, while
they broke the force of the streams of water
and prevented them from

in the center of the pile. The news of the
fire spread rapidly to the business center OF
fire should assume proportions approaching
those of the great cOnflagatiOn of 1871,
which came from the same direction. Great
brands were carried forward by the wind
setting fire to new piles, and several fire
steamers and the men manning them had
narrow escapes from destruction Starting
upon the west of the river the flames ate
up all the lumber between Thirty-ffth and
Thirty-eighth streets, an area of about 400
by 1000 feet. 1t set fire to a canal boat
moOred at the dock, and it fiOated
across the river, which is $50 feet
wide at this point and set fire to
the lumber on the east bank, which
covered about an equal area, and this, with
one or two planning mills. was CONSUMED.
Brands were carried eastward and set fire TO
several small frame houses occupied by EN-
plOyes in the lumber district The fire de-
partment, however, made a stand at this
point and succeeded in preventing the
spread of the flames into the residence dis
Eict. The fight continued throughout the
afternoon and it was nearly seven o'clock
before the confiagration was
BROUGHT UNDER CONTROL,
having practically burned itself out to the
limits of the immediate district in which it
began. A heavy rain during most of the
afternoon was of material assistance. The
entire area burned is $40 by $500 feet
The aggregate of the lumber destroyed
was 45, 600, 900 feet, valued at ST00, 900. The
individual losses and insusances as far as
can be learned are as follows: Chicago

Frightful Dynamite Explosion at Lebanon,

LEBANON, PA, May S.-A frightful pre-
mature explosion of dynamite took place
yesterday at the middle hill of the COrwell
iron ore bank, several miles from this place,

tee of physicians reported this eveTing that

clusiOn is in perfect accord with the accepted
scientific theory of the origin of typhoid

for the last three months. The eXcreta of
the sick were thrown into a privy forty
FEET from the stream and were washed into
he stream by the March rains. The fever
broke out at Plymouth about two weeks
after the stream was polluted. By this
pollution of the water supply one thousand
PERSONS were poisoned and about eighty
five died with fever, while other deaths ate
likely to occur.
