La Chicago-Twenty-Five thousand Dol.
lsrs Worth Property Destroyed-Several
Lives Lost.

CHICAGO, Oct. ST.
FIRE in Knight 4 Leonard's six story
building, l09 and Ill East Madison street,
between and o'clock this morning, de-
stroysd nearly 625, 900 worth of property and
probably several lives. The flames spread so
rapidly thar the inmates of gambling houses in
the vicinity were surprised al the tables and
many narrowly escaped. AT this time men
OF the insurance patrol were in the building
throving tarpaulings over the stock of the
Goodyear Rubber Co. Suddenly there was
terrible crash, followed by dense cloud OF
smoke and sparks. The roof and top floor
had fallen through to the basement, burving
the men OF the patrol in the ruins. de-
tachment of hremen and insurance patrolmen
led by Chief Sveenie, rushed 10 the rescae
cries OF tae men could be heard above the
din. Geo. Furneld was the first man out
He came up through hole made in the side
walk lights over the basement He was
slightly injured. VIM. Darby slso managed
10 crawl out of the ruins with slight injuries.
The rtscuing party found Capt. Hume pinned
down under a fallen beam aud wsdged in be-
tween two boxes OF goods. He was carried
out, both legs being crushed and the left foot
turned completely. p. T. Mullins was
dragged from under two heavy hesms. He
was cut about the head and his body teartuly
bruised. Gus Bergemen was held down by a
heavy piece of printing machinery, SO that
all efforts TO release him seemed useless The
imprisoned man clu ched convulsively at the
iron bars and wheels, begging his comrade.
TO kill him as they could not get him out.
The sewer of the basement mad been choked
up and the large amount of water thrown IN
the building was rising under Bergemen's
eyes. While the flames were eating their
way toward him, Chief Sweenie ordered an
engine detached from the fire plug and set to
work pumping the basement of the floods
from other engines. The waters had just
reached Bergemen'. ewes when they began TO
go down and the flames receded. With jack
screws the machinery was raised and Berge-
men, who for three fourths of an hour had
given himself up for lost, was carried to the
hospital. One Of his legs was broken and
his arm shattered. G. Papeneau, aged 81
could not be found and after a long search
was given up for lost. Ii was not until eleven
hours after that his body was recovered. In
the recovery of the corpse another fireman
was fatally injured and patrolman seriously
wounded. The fire burnt down many tele
graph and telephone wires.

garding the Knights of Labor.

BALTIMORE, Md Oct. 80.
The Sun this morning has the follow ing {:
General Master +. V. Powderly of the
Knights of Labor was in the city Thursday,
and called on Cardinal Gibbons at his resi-
dence, where conference of prelates was
held to discuss questions affecting the welfare
OF the Catholic church in the United States
principally the relation and duties of CAtho-
lies who are knights of Labor Mr.. Pow
derly had two interviews with the cardinal,
and laid before him the constitution and by
laws of the order. He spoke of the purposes
OF the knights, and how, in his opinion, they
were an organization not included in the pre-
scription of the church against secret socie-
ties which promise blind obedience. The
utterances of Mr.. Powderly were carefully
noted and presented to the bishops. The Wis
it of the general master workman was wholly
unexpected and unknown among the Knights
in this city, who did not look for him before
next week. 1t was known he would visit
Cardinal Gibbons in obedience to instructions
from the convention of the Knights of Labor
held recently at Richmond. Mr.. Powderly
went from Richmond to Lawrence, Mass -,
from which place, 1t is supposed, he came
quietly to Baltimore. 1t is said he went away
from Baltimore assured that his organization
would not be intertered with. Several Cath
olic priest. said Yesterday that the Knights of
Labor is q lawful organization. Mr.. Pow
derly is strict Catholic and a weekly com.
municant, and would not countensnce any
society which in its workings antagoDized
the degrees Of the church.

and the braltice on the side of the shaft and
instantly killed. As soon as Engineer Moses
was informed of what had happened he
walked to his room near by, took a revolver

CHICAGO, Oct 80.
The beef men in Morris and Swift's houses
signed a contract last night to resume the To-
hour system, commencing on Monday next.
The wages paid per day will be an advance of
from 25 to so cents in comparison with the
wages received when working eight hours a
day. This arrangement does not apply to the
beef men in Armour's. Their difficulties, if
they have any, must be settled BY themselves
and their employers; but all beef men at
work in the packing houses will resume the
