least. This brother is still living, and is
also settled at HaineS. One reculllrity
about him is that he has hair as yellow

CHICAGO RIVER ON FIRE
OIL on the Surface Ignites and Does
Much Damage to Bridges
and Docks

Chicago, H., April 1S.-Chicago river
was on fire last night. It burned fierce
ly for more than fifteen minutes and the
flames from the murky ooze rising to
height of fifty feet set fire to the kinzie
street bridge and the Northwestern rail
road bridge and to the approaches on
both bridges and the docks between
them. The damage wrought by the fire
was as follows:
To kinzie street bridge and approach s.. 600
To the North Western railroad bridge / 900
To John Druckers warehou-. 800. POO
To the docks OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. 2op
10 the river NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. nominal
The blaze and the giant column OF
dense. black smoke caused by the ignited
oil, grease and gas Of the river were seen
by tremen. Without waiting for an
alarm, engines and trucks from the west
south and north sides-practically con
tiguous at this placement flying to the
scene. Within a few minutes after the
mysterious ignition the hremen were
there. Streams of water were turned
on the burning bridges first. as the most
valuable things TO be saved. and then
they turned the streams on the river TO
quench it. Trains on the North West
ern and Milwaukee roads were considera-
bly, delayed in consequence of the fire
No satisfactory explanation of the orig
in Of the fire was found b. either As
sistant Fire Chief Musham or Marshal
Campiol. They agreed that the rivers
surface was covered with oil. Gas prob
ably contributed TO the flames and caused
the fire. but whether it was sewer gas
or Illuminating gas the fire experts could
not say. The kinzie street sewer emp
ties in the river under Kinzie street
bridge and it probably was from the
sewer the oil came. Where the gas came
from was not learned, but it may have
been generated in the filth in the river
bed.
From all Of the manholes of the Kin
kie street sewer as far west as Desplalnes
street black smoke came up into the
street and fire alarms were turned in by
the police all along the route of the
sewer.
Once before oil on the surface of the
river in the south branch caught fire and
blazed like tar barrel. Then it was
discovered the oil came from a gashousc.
Marshal CampiOn said whenever the sur
face of the river was coated with oil
there was danger of fire and the property
along the river banks was menaced \
match or lighted cigar thrown into
the river might cause it to burn at any
time. The Chicago river is combuStihIe,
according to the opinion of tremen, and
it should be watched with the same care
as the picture frame factories and other
iniammable things.
