A DISASTROUS FIRE
IN TIE CHICAGO STOCK YARDS DESTROYS A
VERY LARGE PROPERTY.
Over a Half-Million Dollars Worth Of a Pork Pack
ing Establishment Burned-POrk and Lard
Add to the Fury ofthe Flames on Which
Water Has Very Little Effect.

CHICAGO, LIZ, September 9s.-Fowler
Brothers packing house at the Stock
Yards was damaged by fire this morn
ing to the amount of $500, 900. The fire
originated at 1870 o'clock in the morn
ing in the packing room, or the engine
room adjoining. 1t is not known
definitely which, and no cause is as
signed for the fire.
The fremen worked against obstacles
from the start. Water had little effect
on the grease-soakcd floors and the fire
soon reached the tank room, where 81
tanks of lard were located. These eX-
ploded one after another, with loud re-
ports, and the burning lard fed the
flames more ierccly. The heat was so
intense that the iiremel were compelled
to work at distance, and IL was seen
to be worse than useless to throw water
into the kissing and scething furnace.
The packing room is about $50 feet,
and the whole interior was blazing
when the fireman reached the scene. in
response to the first alarm. The flames
spread to the cooling room adjoining,
where the fire commenced burning the
carcasseS of the hogs there. In the
room were G,Gs9 hogs freezing, and they
burned like oil. Water was useless in
fighting the fire, and 1t seemed that
nothing could be done to stop the con-
nagration. The roof fell in about two
hours after the fire started, and the
fire became more furious.
About this time the flames reached a
lot 81 ea1tnntrn stored above the Dack-
ing room, and the smell from the burn
ing chemicals was awful. 1t Stiilcd the
men and made them retreat.
At six o'clock it was seen to be impoS-
sible TO extinguish the burning pork
and water was thrown on it to keep the
fire down as much as possible. IL will
have to burn itself out and it will prob
ably be two days yet before it is entirely
extinguShed.
In the basement Of the entire building
was stored an immense amount OF salt
meats. This caught fire and while the
flames were not furious and were pre-
vented from blazing high, they still
kept eating the sides, shoulders and
hams. that were placed in solid cords,
layer on layer. The building that
burned is part of the entire plant that
has been recently erected. The whole
was patched up affair, and at the
present time additions we're being built.
About 200 men and 1GD girls were en-
ployed by the company. The loss is en-
tirely covered by insurance, mostly in
foreign companies. The plant was in
sured for II, 500, 900.

TOO LATE IN TUE SEASON.
\ Sea Serpent That Was Lassoed on the
New England Coast.

WHITMAN, MASS. September IS
Three of Whitman's respected and
truthful citizens arc sure that they saw
sea serpent off Brant Rock, MarSheld,
and their story is subStantiated by many
eve witnesses living n that seaport
town. George Edison and his son, =. ii.
Edison. while laying off. the rock saw
some large object ahead. 1t appeared
to be long snake with its head above
the water line. .
Mr.. Edson is well known gunner,
and is considered a crack shot, while
fear is a feeling TO which he is per-
feet stranger. He gave chase to the
monster. and succeeded in throwing 4
rope about his head. by this time a
large and excited crowd had gathered
ON the beach. attracted by the strange
sight. among them being j. +. Whidden,
an expert shot from this place. lie
hastily put off from shore through the
surf and soon ranged alongside thi is
monster OF the deep. Both he and Mr..
Edison fired charge after charge into the
grizzly-looking head, but the heavy shot
appeared to have no serious effect. Inc
painter of the boat was all the time con
nectcd with the monsters head and
Whidden's boat was fastened to the
stern of Edson's boat.
The monster was gliding meanwhile
through the water moderate speed, It's
long. snake-like tail glistening in the
sunlight and people on the shore got a
good view. 1t became evident that
with the weapons they possessed they
could never catch the huge monster and
the rope was cut. The serpent imme-
diately dived. exposing portion OF its
body. The men in the boats and those
on the shore assert that the serpent was
at least 135 in length, and when 1t
gliied through the water it left a wake
like that of n large steamer.
