A DOZEN PERSONS ARE INJURED

Atlantic City, N. j., April 5. -
Twelve hotels and more than score
of small buildings adjoining the board
walk which is built along the ocean
edge, were destroyed yesterday by a
fire which swept the beach front for
two long blocks from Illinois avenue
to New York avenue. The loss, it is
believed. will exceed $750,000. In this
respect the conflagration is the most
disastrous that has ever visited this
city. The loss will be only partially
covered by insurance, as the rate of 5
per cent charged by insurance COM
panies on proper:y here is regarded as
almost prohibitive. Fortunately no
lives We're sacrificed, though probably a
dozen persons We're slightly injured and
burned during the progress of the fire.
1t was reported early in the afternoon
that six men had persisted in the
flames. but the rumor was without
foundation. The
t Origin of the Fire
is unknown. but it is said to have
started in either Brady's baths or the
Tarlton hotel. xhich" adjoins the baths
at Illinois avenue and the board walk.
The city is now guarded by company
Of militia who were requested by the
municipal authorities to aid the police
in the prevention of looting-7 About a
dozen men were arrested during the
day for robbery.
The fire was discovered shortly be-
fore 9 o'clock yesterday morning, and
for nearly FIVE hours the flames ragged
with such violence as to- threaten the
city with destruction. sAl of the
burned buildings were frame structures
and the flames, famed by strong
west wind. swept along the beach
front with amazing rapidity. The
local fire department worked we'll and
willingly, but was unable to cope with
The flames and it was found necessary
to send to Philadelphia and Camden
for aid. During the progress of the
fire the widest excitement prevailed
among the guests of the hotels which
later became
Prey to the Flamea.
With the exception of the Tarlton and
the Bryn Mawr, all of the hostelries
were open for the season and most of
them were fairly well filled. In most
Eases the guests had sufficient time 10
pack thcir trunks and grips, and those
who did not do this carried their per-
sOnal effects to places of safety in the
hest manner possible under the circum-
stances. All CT the guests Of burned
hotels wEo were forced to seek other
quarters have been cared for. 1t was
O'clock before the fircmen, were con-
WINGED there was no further danger.
and then the visiting engine companies
returned to Philadelphia and Camden.
Last night the scene of the fire was
visited by nearly every person in the
city and policemen and soldiers were
busy keeping the Groves at safe dis
lance from the snnouldering ruins.

Chicago. April 5.-War against the
beef trust that promises to smash the
collision between the great packing
firms in the manipulation Of prices and
supply has been precirttated by the
discovery of documentary evidence that
exposes the secret operations of the
combine. Fragments of letter adj
dressed to the Cudahy Packing COM

now in the possession of the interstate

the reduction of shipments in order to
put the market on paying basis and
the blacklisting off retailers who re-
fuse to patronize the members Of the
trust. Although the trust taanagers4
deny that there is combination among
the large firms and maintain that the
price of meat is regulated by the price
of livestock, the Cudahy correspondence
is supposed to be ammunition enough to
start a fight against the combine, that
will begin in the East and will extend
to the main houses as fast as evidence
is gained that there is complete CO.
operation in the West.
