BIG FIRE IN. CHICAGO.
M'vICkER'S THEATRE, CHICAGO
BURNED.
A WALL. FALLS ON SEVERAL.
FIREMEN.
ALL INJURED, AND ONE OF THEF
WILL DIE.
PANIC IN THE NEIEHBORING
HOTELS.

CHICAGO, August 26.-I'irc was dis
covered in McVickcr's theatre, Madison
street, between State and Dcarbon
streets, ut $50 this morning. AS far as
can I've learned il igmitcd in n small
smoks.g room under the stage. The
dry and infanablc material of the
room furnished material for the blaze
and in a moment the fierce flame burst
out through the side window.
As soon as the tircncn arrived they di-
rcctcd n stream of water through the
window from which the flames were
coming. Smoke filled the entire build
ing and it is feared badly damaged
the valuable scenery of the Shenandoah
Company now performing in the build
ing.
The fire made unexpected Roadway in he
interior of the building and in thirty min
utcs after its discovery had run from the
| basement to the roof, the flames appar-
emily cnvcloping the whole building. At
four O'Clock the flames were lcaping from
all the windows on the west and east
side of the theatre.
When it was seen what rapid Roadway
the flames were making additional help
was summoned and every effort directed
towards saving the front portion Of the
building where Il number of Offices were
located Nearly every occupant OF these
is Il loser. ali hough none carried heavy
stocks.
The flames burslcd from the rear oi tn,
building with such fury that they cN
| tended across the ;lllcv and threatened
| the destruction of the Windsor Eurupcan
hotel. The guests of the hotel awakened
and Il panic resulted. The people hastily
grabbed their clothing and made way To
the street. There was no occasion for
the fright, however, as the iircmcn guard
cd the hotel So well that the flames had
no chance Of communication with the
building.
Panic also seized the guests of the Sar-
atoIa hotel and the Bennett house, but
the flames did not reach either OF them.
Seven men belonging to the fire insur-
ancc patrolNo. | we're in the auditorium
at work when the roof fell in. They all
.'scapr,l as by u miracle. Not So iuitu,
nate were the men who were fighting fire
in the rear OF the building when the rear
wall fell. as all the men oi No. were bu.
ricd in the ruins. All were more or less
hurt and the fireman, Jack Duffy, had his
skull fractured, and will probably die.
The total lass to the theatre and occu-
pants is estimated at over S2OO,uOO.
Horace McNickcr, the proprietor, SAYS
his own loss will reach over SlOOOOO.
