BUFFALO, n. Y, April l2.-Tho plant
OF the American Glucose Company
burned tonight. Tho loss will be about
Sl.o00,000. Tho insurance Is $6S5,0O0.
The works Of tho company consisted OF
IN clcven-story brick building, used for
the manufacture Of glucose aud starch; ;
IN eight.story brick building. used as q
power house and as place for making
the cattlc fceding product; an eight
story brick building, used as n refinery,
and an cigh..story store.house. The
fire was discovered in the dynamo room
OF tho main building shortly after Z
o'clock by tho engineer. He gave the
alarm and ho and his fireman rushed
out, In tcu minutes the whole eleven
floors were on fire; flames were burst
ing through the windows and darting
from tho roof.
AWFUL PROBABILITY.
There was, perhaps, 125 men at work
tonight. 1t will not be known until a
census OF tho employees is taken to-mor-
row whether one man or fifty men were
cromated. II is known that some of
tho mon epcaped by the fro escapes,
and some of those on the lower Jumped
into the canal. A great meny OF the
mon at work on the upper floors were
ignorant Poles and Germans. They
may have been burned and they may
not. 1t is impossible to tell now. The
chances are. however, that several mon
were burned to death. As 1t was, four
Of the men who jumped were hurt.
These arc:
John Young, workman, jumped /;
hurt about head and face.
Two Poles, cannot speak English,
names unknown, both severely injured.
Ono had both legs broken.
John Stein, workman, severely
burned.
MASS OF FLAMES.
In fifteen minutes tho entire main
building was mass of flames. In
twonty minutes tho walls began to fall
and thoy fell at frequent intervals until,
inside OF forty-tirc minutes, there was
but one corner standing. Meanwhile
tho city fish market. just across the
street, caught fire, and five tlremen were
sent inside 1t to fight the flames, and q
number of streams were turned on tho
roof. Tho building was a long, low,
brick structure and the firemen made a
good fight to saveit, but portion OF q
blazing wall fell on 1t aud started tho
roof to burning fierccly.
The iiremen inside did not know of
this, and no one told them. The conse-
quonce was that in n few minutes tho
roof fell in and buried the five firemen.
Three oil thom escaped with no other in
jurics than a few bruises, but John
Weber aud Liout Louis Schroeder, OF
tho snmo company. were not go forum
ate. Weber was taken out uncon-
scious. His face is badly burned. some
of his ribs broken and he also has in
ternal injuries. 1t Is question whether
he lives or dies.
Lieutenant Schraoder had his back
and legs hurt Both were taken to
hospitals.
srILL BURNING.
Tho feed house was completely dc.
atroyed, the walls all having fallen by
10 o'clock. Tho refinery and the store
house went next, and by II o'clock
there was nothing LETT OF tho mammoth
establishment but a few tottering walls.
Tho glucose works we're owned and con
trolled by c. ]. Hamlin, tho famous
trotting horse man, and his sons.
After 70 o'clock tho progress Of tho
fire was checked. It will be several
hours before it is completely under con-

WASHINGTON, Mar. 9, 1894.
The House postoffice committee heard
arguments to-day in favor>o a bill to
prevent the removal Of letter carriers
except on proved charges. MIR. Swan
son of Virginia, a member of the com
mittee, is opposed to the bill, and also
to the whole civil service reform hum
bug. -,
it is understood to-day that while
the tariff bill, as reported, will be sun
ported practically by all the democratic
Senators, it will be Il long time before
it will be passed. 1t is also said that
us a mean to make it unpopular the
republicans will try to amend it by
making all incomes over $500 subject to
taxation.
A bill has been introduced in the
Senate 10 restore to the pension list at
$50 a month Mrs. Julia G. Locke, OF
Sterling, Va, who was Miss Tebbs OF
Leeshurg, Va, and whose first husband
was General McCook, u. S. A.
Congressman Jerry Simpson says the
sugar schedule of the tariff bill is 8
monumental swindle, as the sugar re-
liners. under their contract with the
sugar planters Of Cuba, make them pay
the duty, and now the bill referred to
gives them q cent and a quarter q
pound, so that in addition to their prof

cents and q quarter a pound by the act
of this government. He says the people

CONGRESS HAS done all that lay in its
power to increase the shad and herring
in the Potomac, by afiording them a
spawning ground in the upper waters
of the river, by prohibiting fishing by
s%eiues, gill nets and traps i IN that part
of it subject to its jurisdiction-from
jones' Point 10 the Chain Bridge. II
the legislature had passed a law, as 1t
should have done, prohibiting the ex-
clusion of fish from the river by staked
nets that extend almost across Chesa-
peake Bay, the fish could have reached
their natural spawning ground referred
to, and, instead of an annual decrease,
there soon would have been, the most ex-
perienced fishermen OF the river say, a
notable increase in the catch of such
fish.
