THE LAST RESOURCE.


Iawoke with a feeling of overpowering
heat and suffocation. The bedclothes had
been drawn over my shoulders, and my
head, sinking from the pillow, had buried
my face beneath them. But before this
unusual condition was discovered another
explanation presented itself to my half
awakened imagination. l was at the bot
tom of a burning pit. Drigo and Putty
were there, struggling with each other and
trampling me beneath them in their frantic
efforts to escape, and Taras was looking
down ut me with that stern severity which
had seen but once in his face. He would
not stretch out his hand to save me, but
with the same unbending expression turned
his head and slowly walked away.

The fire had burned down. Only few en-

turned down; its light fell upon some food

CHICAGO, July 10-This city was Wis
tied yesterday by the most terrific
storm it has experienced in several years.
The wind blew almost hurricane, lev
cling trees and breaking in windows,
and the rain fell in torrents. The ear
lier part of the day, which was we'll nigh
perfect. tempted may people to go on the
lake and thousands of others to the
parks. The storm gathered in the north
west with marvellous quickness and
broke with terrifying suddenness over
the city, The greatest havoc was
wrought among the small pleasure crafts
on the lake.
Many narrow escapes from death were
reported, but. so far rs known, the loss
of life was limited to seven. Four Of
these were lost by the capsizing of the
yacht Chesapeake. The party on the
boat consisted of nine persons. They
had been out sailing all the afternoon.
The storm broke SO suddenly that they
capsized before the men could do any
thing to prevent it.. The dead are
Ethel Chase, Boston; Themistocles TIM
bolis, Harry NARROW, w. H. Cornice.
The others in the party clung to the
side of thS boat and managed to keep
their hcads above water till steam tug
rescued them The bodies Of the
drowned were not recovered. The party
was in the water two hours before being
rescued and was almost exhausted be-
fore aid reached them.

CHICAGO, July 1.-THE fall of night
still finds the ruins of the cold storage
building unexplored and it is just begin
ming to be realized that the full extent
of yesterdays disaster cannot be ascer-
tanned until the mountain of rubbish is
sifted and carted away. At some points
the debris is fifteen to twenty feet high
and it is impossible to know how many
charred bodies may rest beneath these
heaps
The search is slow owing to the vast
amount of iron and machinery that en-
cumbers the ruins and the network OF
rods and bars formed by the intense
heat. The complete list Of the dead Sc
far as known is as follows:
James Fitzpatrick, Lieut.. John II

A. Brady, James j. Corbett's manager,

ber, 1893, under the rules of the Mar

right to secure one timekeeper each. Al
of the conditions in the agreement signed
during the month of February. 1893, shall
hold good in this agreement The club

$1,000 each. The articles will be deliv-
cred to Mitchell for his signature, which
must be obtained or or before August >.

STEEL BULLETS FOR WAR,

Ordnance Authorities Selecting Ammu-
milton for the New Rifle.
WASHINGTON, July 11.-Having begun
the manufacture of new magazine rifle
the army ordnance authorities haye di-
rected their attention to the matter of
ammunition for the new arm. This is
quite as important as the gun, for with
out suitable power and bullet the mod
ern magazine rifle will be less effective
than the old Springfield. The depart
ment will continue the use of the Wet
teren imported brand obtained for use
in the trials which resulted in the adop-
ton of the Kraig JorgensOn gun. The
authorities have recently obtained some
remarkable results with a sample lot of
the new krupp nickel steel bullets
These are graphically shown by several
pieces of oak timber with bullets imbed-
ded just received by the chief of ord
nance from the Frankfort arsenal. The
new nickel steel bullet shows a penetra
ton Of eighteen and one half inches into
hard oak. 1t remains imbeddcd in Il
knot in practically the same shape as
when it left the gun.

KILLED 80 FIREMEN
While Fighting Fire at the World :
Fair Grounds The Brave
Men Perish.
A Terrible Scene of Living Men Gre
mated Witnessed by Many
Thousands.

WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS, July l0,-No
less that thirty firemen lost their lives at
the Worlds fair grounds this afternoon
Just before 9 o'clock. At that time the
cold storage warehouse just south of the
ty-fourth street gate caught fire in
the top of the cupola which rises fully
200 feet from the ground. through this
cupola the chimney passes. The cupola
is built of wood overlaid with stat, and
is highly ornamented with columns and
pillars. Near the top is Il landing. The
fire broke out about thirty feet above
this.
AS soon as the tiremen arrived. about
tbirty-five or forty of them climbed up
ladders to the landing and were prepar
ing to throw streams of water to the
burning portion when the fire, which
had eaten its way inside the staff to
point below where the tiremen stood,
broke out with volcanic ferocity on ali
up from the 10000 people assembled
about the building. Five of the men
saved themselves by sliding down ropes.
Before tho others could follow the flames
burned away the ropes. The unfortunate
fellows who remained huddled together
on the north side Of the cupola were
doomed. 1t was beyond the reach of
any of the ladders and the crowd stood
horror-strcken and helpless to rescue
the crew. The flames ran higher and
higher till the men were almost conceal
ed from view. At this moment one of
the iiremen sprang far out into the air
and was dashed to pieces on the roof full
ly eighty feet below. Another and an-
other followed his example, craZed by
the awful heat, and doubtless preferring
to be killed by the fall than burned to
death. When five had jumped the up
per portion of the cupola gave away and
the remaining tremen were swallowed
up in the seething mass of burning tim
ber.
In the meantime. all the fire engines
on the grounds had been called and aid
had been summoned from Hyde park
but the main portion Of the fire was far
above the reach of the streams of water.
1t is probable that the entire building
will be totally destroyed. 1t cost $3.50
OOC and is stored with meats, fruits and
wines. The whole loss will probably
reach half million. 1t was built and
occupied by the Hercules Iron Works
company, manufacturers of refrigera-
ting machinery.
At 2:l5 the entire warehouse was in
flames. 1t was reported that three
women and several clerks employed in
the Office of the concern on the third
floor were crushed by the falling cupola.
