FIRE AT TIE WORLDS FAIR
SEVERAL BUILDINGS ARE NOW IN
RUINS.
The Casino, Music Hail and the PERI
style Burned and the Liberal Arts
Building DamaEed-OEe Fireman
Killed and Several Others Injured.

Chicago. Jan g. - The worlds fair
Ponpei came last night. 4 rushing vol
cano of flame, Il huge gothic architecture
tumbling to chaos; bewildered mobs of
people-all We're there, under Il great
starry sky Of Italian clearness, with
Lake Michigan's broad expause. a second
Mediterranean. Probably no more mag
rilccnt. yet terrifying, spectacle has ever
been witnessed this side of the Atlantic.
The fire started in the Casino and Is
supposed to have been set by two tramps
for revenge. 1t quickly spread to the
ptristyle and this, together with the
music hall, soon went. Il then attacked
the manufactures and liberal arts build
ing, but after an hour's hard fight the
tlrmes We're subdued. The federal of
ticials put the maximum loss at 81 600,
UOO. On the other hand til, estimates
made by the people connected with the
lot al directory made the highest figures
Oh ly S25O,OOO in the liberal arts building.
The great fire was not without its work
Of death and injury. For the second
time within the history of thA exposition
the tiremen risked life and limb TO save
the property of others and saddenel
home as the result.
The dead: William Mackey, ripeman

Shortly after II O'Clock four iremen
Were caught beneath a crush of falling

building. Streams of water We're al once
poured upon the mass and soon the in

could not be ascertained by the chief,
but it was said that all Of tie men were

serious enough. but the fire is now under
control and there is no more to fear.
