EXCITING CHICAGO FIRE.
There Were a Number of Narrow
Escapes.

A fire which broke out in the basement
of the Belle clothing house, on the corner
of State and Quincy streets, Chicago, yes
terday, destroyed the entire contents Of the
establishment above the second floor, and
left only the walls of the building from the
floor to the roof standing. 1t occurred at
the busiest part of the day, with the store
crowded with customers and employees, and
the flames ran through the building like a
train of powder, filling every nook and cor
ner with dense smoke. 1t was remark
able that no lives were lost. In attempt
ing to escape from the building the follow
ing persons were injured:
c. H. Smith, leg broken in jumping from
a window and bruised about the
body; Dick Burns elevator 10y. slightly
burned about the face; Grace Mertell, a
the building; Helen Caeser. clerk in adj
joining store, overcome by smoke.
Samuel Cohen. salesman. and John
Dichel, the engineer, had a narrow escape
from death. They were on the third floor
of the building and did not hear the alarm
of fire when first given. Both men tried to
get down the stairway, but were unable to
do so. Then they rushed to the front win
dows and were about to jump, but the
shouts of the crowd below warned them
not to do SO. 1t became too hot for them
in the window, and both men grasping a
sign which extended across the building
just below the thfrd-story windows swung
off and held on the sign until they were
taken down by the firemen.
Charles Smith, another employee was in
jured by falling from the second-story win
dow. He stepped outside the window ledge
and made an effort to reach a window in
the next building. The crowd of spectators
discerned how fruitless would be the I'M
dertaking, and the excitement among them
was intense as they warned the man at the
window to remain where he was. Smith.
however missed his footing and fell Strik-
ing the fagstones feet foremost, and frac-
tured one of his legs.
Miss Grace Mertell, employed by the
clothing company, was on the fourth floor
when the flames burst through the floor.
She tainted and had to be carried from the
burning structure. When brought out into
the fresh air she was soon revived.
The loss on the building was $4,000 and
on the stock S15O,00O. he building was
insured for $4,000 and the stock for $780,

BRONZE STATUES IN COURT.

raging Public Decency.

Held Under Bail Charged With Out
raging Public Decency.
Artists William NJ. Chase and J.: G.
Brown gave their opinions in police court
in New York yesterday afternoon that pos
ing in bronze paint was not, in their view,
indecency. ]. Wells Champney, Henry E.
Hoyt and John H. Young were there also,
but they did not give evidence Justice
Simms disagreed with the artists and held
Miss Bessie Stanton, Porham Nahle and
Prof. Otto Kahler, the bronze statues, and
Rudolph Aronson for trial in $500 each, on
the charge that the exhibition outraged
public decency.
Artist Chase said that when the models
posed they impressed him as being very
fine reproductions of bronze statues. They
did not impress him as in any way sugges-
tive or immoral.
Artist Brown explained that he had, with
Mr.. Chase, answered subpoena and did
not testify voluntarily.
AS for the statues, he said: Il should be
glad if we had more exhibitions of the
kind. They would elevate the public NOR
ais and the public taste for great works Of
art by masters long dead. which have never
been equaled.'
Miss Bessie Stanton, who wears the bronze
paint said: "Oh, the bronze paint is ever
so much more moral than the fieshings for
living pictures"
