CHICAGO, January ll.-Aftor the fire.
men thought the fire at the corner OF
Madison street and the river was under
control this morning a section OF the
roof cayed in and crashed through al
the floors. The flames shot downward,
and in an instant ihe entire stocks on the
first floor were all ablaze. This floor,
with its valuable stocks Of silks and cost
" merchandise, was Quilted, involving a
further loss OF upward of $4,000.
The total loss by the fire will reach
5000 600. The night was intensely cold.
The firemen were greatly hsmpered by
the heavy coatings of ice, which render,
ed their movements slow, and 1t seemed
almost hours before they fairly began to
work. The high wind prevailing pre-
vented solid streams of water from
reaching above the second floor, and this
had considerable to do with the spread
of the flames upon the upper floors. Al
ter two hours hard fight, however, the
flames were considered under control
Several of the fremen were completely
overcome by the dreadful exposure and
were carried into the GGult House to be
thawed out. Their garments were Gov
cred with ice several inches in thickness
and were so thick and clumsy as to rem
der movement well-nigh impossible.

CHICAGO, Ill, January 1.-THE trou'
BILE between the house painters and hard
wood finishers, which I. b. Barry, OF
the General Executive Board Of the
KNIGHTS Of Labor, was sent to Chicago
to investigate, is assuming such an acute
form that a strike is not improbable.
The strike would be by one labor or
eanization against another-the painters
wishing to drive the hardwood finishers
ont OF the business.
The question of nationality also enters
into the fight, inasmuch as most OF the
furniture workers, including the hard
wood finishers, are Germans or Scandl-
navians, while the painters are largely
Irish. The painters want 10 do all the
hardwood finishing on the buildings and
TO confne the members Of the hardwood
fnishers' assembly to the furniture-worl
in the factories, which the painters are
not skilled enough to do.
