TERRIBLE HOLOCAUST !
A Fire in the "White City," Causes
Many Deaths.

"A rlre IN tne 'Wnlte Olty,' CauSes
Many Deaths.
Yesterday afternoon about o'clock
fire broke out in one of the smaller
buildings at the Worlds Fair at Chi
cago, and in less than a half hour
about forty fireman lost their lives,
in an attempt to quench the flames,
Over 10000 people stood by and wit
messed the awful holocaust, powerless
to render auy assistance to the DOOM
ed firemen.
The building consumed was cold
storage warehouse, Ii concession eI-
hibit of the Hercules Iron Works, ice
and refrigerating machine manufac-
turers. 1t was a small building and
but for favorable winds, other and
larger ones would also have gone into
ashes.
The fire was not generally observed
until about 1:l5 p. m., and within
thirty minutes the great loss of life
occurred. AT the first signal about
twenty fremen rushed up the huge
shaft surrounding the smokestack, aud,
when at the summit, began prepara-
tions to fight the flames which had
first appeared at this point. Before
the hose could be coupled cry Of
horror from the crowd below caused
the firemen to look down, and the
whole shaft below was found to be
encircled by flames. Instantly every
man realized his danger, but there
were few to find an avenue of escape.
One man suddenly grasped a rode,
or hose, and, half sliding, half falling,
reached the root, ninety feet below,
bruised and burned, but still alive.
BY this time the crowd below became
wild with excitement and weeping
women and frenzied men rushed hith-
er and thither wringing their hands
in anguish over their inability to
render aid. Suddenly one of the
hremen was seen preparing to jump,
and every eye was turned upward.
He gave quick, spasmodic leap and
turned over and over half q doz-
en- times before he struck the
roof, ninety feet below TO the
spectators he seemed minute fall
ing this distance, and, when the
body struck the roof with frightful
crash and bounced four feet into the
air, a grosn of horror went up from
the crowd. From this time, the bod
les rained from the steeple, but in
nearly every instance breath and life
had fled when the victim was picked
up on the roof. After the first wild
leap, one man and another, and anoth-
er jumped in quick succession as the
flames closed in below and the heat
became more intense. In nearly every
instance the victim turned over and
over again before he touched the roof
and in nearly every instance the result
Of the desperate leap for life was the
same-death. The very horror of
death rivetted every eye to the scene,
and while men and women shouted
hysterically and wept, the guards
were almost powerless to keep the
crowd away from danger. The spec
tacle of death became more terrible Us
minutes passed, and for the last man
on the cupalo was reserved the most
dreadful fate Of all. After all his
companions had leaped to apparent
death, and as the last man was hesi-
tating, the whole shaft began to trem-
BILE and vibrate, and as the fireman
prepared to jump the blazing shaft
collapsed, and he disappeared in the
burning ruins.
The awful calamity has spread a
gloom over the "White City"
