| building at Nos. 100 and Ill East Madison
| street between 4 aud 5 o'clock this morn.
ing. The inmates OF a dozen gambling
houses 10 the vicinity were unaware OF the
fire until the lives Of most OF them were
in peril. Then a wild stampede ensued.
The proprietors hurried gold and green
backs in satchels, and some others rushed
| down stairs loaded down with gambling
implements. A majority, however, of the
| employees came tearing out Of the building,
hatless and ~coatless and badly frightened.
| After an hours work the flames were com.
paratively under control. Men Of the fire
insurance patrol were in the building
shortly afterwards covering the stock Of
the Goodyear Rubber Company, when
| suddenly there was a terrible crash, fol-
lowed by q dense wave OF smoke and sparks.
The roof and top floor fell through to
the basement, burying the pa,rolmen
in the ruins. Immediately a detachment
of firemen and pasrolmen, led by Marshal
Sweenie, rushed to the rescue. The cries
of the imprisoned men could be heard
above all the din. George Turneald was
the first man out. He came up through q
hole made inside of the walk lights, and
was only slightly injured. VIM. Darby
also managed TO crawl out with slight in
%juries. Patrol Captain Hume was pinned
down under a falling beam and wedged in
between two boxes. He was carried out
with both legs crushed and his left foot
turned completely around. p. l.. Mullins
was dragged from under two heavy beams
badly cut about the head and body. He
was awfully bruised. Gus Bergemenke
was being held down by a heavy piece of
printing machinery. so that all efforts to
release him were useless. The imprisoned
man begged his comrades to kill him.
The sewer and basement had become
clogged, and the immense quantity of
water that was poured into the building
was rapidly rising under Bergemenke's
eyes, while the flames were eating their
way toward him. Marshal Sweenie
ordered an engine detached from the fire
plug to pump from the basement, while
efforts OF the other engines were redoubled
agains! the fire. The water had just
reached Bcrgemenko's chin when il began
to go down. and flames had begun to re-
cede. With the aid of jsckscrews the
machinery was at last raised, and after
three-quarters of an hour Bergemenke
was taken ont and carried to q hospital.
One Of bis legs and an arm are broken, but
he may live. @. Papinean could not be
found, and WAS given up for lost, his body
not being found for ii hours. In the re-
coyery Of the corpse another fireman was
fatally injured, and an insurance patrol
man was seriously injured. The fire and
fall of the roof had damaged many OF the
wires, and gangs of linemen commenced
work on an adjoining roof, although re-
quested by the firemen to wait until the
body was found. While pulling q heavy
cable over the wall a piece of iron cornice
was d%islodged. which fell to the basement
and struck a fireman named Michael Nc
Govern in the back. m~angling him hor-
ribly. He will die. Thirteen linemen
we're arrested, but released on bonds. In
suranoe Patrolman Cornell fell through
a hole In the broken sidewalk and was
seriously injured.
