A Government Bonded Warehouse in FIames-Loss Nearly $I,5OO,OOO- The Walls Fall lHn-Streams Of Tea Gush Frona Windows and Doors-
 Suspicion of Incendiarism. CHICAGO, March 26.-The Central ware-
 house, at the corner of Rush and North Wa.
 ter streets, burned early this morning
 with it's valuable store of teas and coffees,
 entailing an estimated loss of between s1,-
 25O, 900 and s1 ,500,000.
 The fire department had very hard task of it, but succeeded in preventing the flames from destroying the great Galena grain eIe. vator of Munger, Wheeler & Go. and other buildings in the neighborhood The walls of the warehouse fell upon the engine room of the elevator crushing it like an egg shell, As the water from the dozens of engine noz. zles soaked down the contents of the ware house the basement was soon filled with ws. ter, and when the 40, ,0O0 cases of tea began to brew streams of tea gushed from the win dows and doors.
 The dock for 8 distance of one hundred feet was flooded with the amber colored li- quid that poured like small cataret into the river: The steam arising from this perfumed the air for blocks away. The building was a six-story brick structure which cost when built in 1872 $50, ,0OO The fire was probably incSndiary, and the third fire in the struc- tHdgesithin year which can be accounted for Aa no other hypothesis.
 About nine per cent. in value of the con- tents was tea in bond, as it was a govern ment warehouse. Besides this there were few thousand packages of coffee and other miscellaneous articles. The tea was owned by firms in various large cities in all parts of the country, which makes it extremely difi- cult to accurately estimate individually as insurance was doubtless placed elsewhere in some cases. The following losses are known: Katherine DeKay Bronson, on building, S50,000; insurance $50, ,O0O; W. R. Manniere, Chicago, loss $8, insurance s75,- 900; Fitch 6 Rowland, Chicago, loss $16O, ,OO0; insurance $142. 900. 0. D. Lathrop, loss $13O ,000; insurance $6O, 1000. Hillyer tS O., Chicago, loss $7O,000; insurance s6O, ,OOO. insurance $175, ,O0O
 Among the estimated losses are the follow ing: Winemsn, Conant & Co.,, Boston, $65,- 900; Hyde & Southworth, Boston, $S ,O0O, E. s. Conant & Co.,, Boston, $6 1000. These are probably we'll insured. Among the in- surance companies affected are the follow- ing: Boston Underwriters $12, 500, Phoenix BIC, ,O00, Sprinfield Fire and Marine $9, 500. Connecticut $7,500, National of Hartford 6,200, American of Boston $5, 900, Orient s5, ,000, Rhode Island Underwriters $2, 800. Hartford S1 250
