BIG BLAZE AT TERRE HAurE.
A 81 900, GOO Fire starts i'm n whole
sale Dry Goods store.

Terre Haute, Ind, Dec. l9.-The worst
fire in the history OF Terre Haute broke
out tonight, causing a loss of 100000.
The blaze started in the big show windows
Of the Havens & Geddes Company, whole
sale and retail dealers in dry goods and
notions.
The cause is not definitely known, but 1t
is supposed that a live electric wire set
fire to the cotton with which the win
dow was decorated and before the blaze
could be extinguished the fire spread 60
the decorations of evergreens in the store
and the building was wrapped In flames
in an incredibly short space of time. The
following firms are the losers:
Havens & Geddes $5OO.O0O insurance
about two-thirds; Breinig & Miller. furni-
ture, 5000: Pixley & Co, $100OOO Terre
Haute Shoe Company, wholesale, Sl50,00O;
Albrecht & Co, retail dry goods, $4,000;
United States Backing Company, $50 200;
Thormann & Schoss, clothiers, $4,000.
A number of small concerns were utter
ly annihIated In the fan of the rear wall
of the Havens & Geddes' wholesale house.
The fire started at $50 O'Clock. when half

at their homes for supper. There was a
force of 300 employees or more in the retail
department of the establishment, and had
the entire force been present the loss of
life would have been frightful.
AS it Is, Kate Maloney. clerk In the no
ton department, is lying al the point of
death. She sprang from window in the
second story aud sustained injuries from
which she will probably die,

Maloney, but was caught by some men
who We're watching for her. She Is inter-
nally injured, but win recover
Louis Kramer, the trimmer, who was in
the show window, when the fire started, is
frightfully burned about the head and
arms. When rescued from the burning
building he was insane from the pain and
begged to be killed.
Firemen Austeroo, Walsh and Shay were
badly injured in the falling of the floor in
the Albrecht building.
The fire department. worked admirably
and there were many narrow escapes
among them. Several of the firemen are
in a precarious condition from burns and
the effect of sitting smoke, but 1t Is
thought tonight all win recover.
At IL o'clock last night the fire was still
burning fiercely In the rear of the United
States Baking Company building, but the
firemen had it under control.
A heroic act on the part of a man named
Peters, travelling salesman from Chicago
for the Baldwin Music House, called forth
cheers from the crowd watching tho
flames. When the fire first started Peters
was standing in the crowd and saw the
Maloney and Ferguson girls appear al
the second story windows. The girls were
panic tricken and were In momentary
danger of going down with the floor Pc
ters sprang through the door with his
coat over his head, and dashng through
the flame and smoke reached the window
at which the girls appeared and after
talking with them swung out from the
ledge and dropped. His example was fol
lowed by the two girls.
