BIG CHICAGO FIRE.
One of the Buildings of the Swift
Packing Pant Burned.

One of the Buildings of the Swift
Packing Pant Burned.
Chicago, July 5.-By fire which
broke out in their plant at the stock
yards tonight, Swift g. Co. suffered a
loss which is estimated by the officials
of the company at 81 600, 900. The fire
was consumed to one building stand
ing at the intersection Of Packers
avenue and Broadway. This structure
was four stories high, built of brick
and was 300 feet square.
The first Goor was occupied by the
Wholesale meat market of the com
pany. The latter are said to have
been the largest single offices in the
United States. more than 800 employees
working on one of the floors in a sin
| gle room. The cause of the fire is not
known, but it was discovered near the
engine room. 1t spread so rapidly
through the building that it was found
impossible to save anything in the
structure.
The first arrivals of the fire depart
ment were unable to check the fire and
repeated calls were sent ia tor assist
ance. but all the engines that the de-
partment could gather were not able
to prevent the entire destruction OF the
building. Within an hour after the
fire was discovered the building was
ruined, although it continued to blaze
for long time.
The burned building adioins por'
tions of the plants of Armour g. Co
and Libby, McNeal & Libby and fol
a time the fire department had des
perate fight to keep these buildings
from the flames. The wind was blow
ing strong from the southwest, and a
times the flames were touching tn
side of Armour's building, but tn
liremen managed to confne the fire Il
the building in which it had broker
out. All the books and Office record
of Swift & Co. were in the burne,
building but they are thought to b
safe, as they were in the proof vaults
+ w. j. McGonigle, the superintend
ent of the plant, said tonight that tn
loss will aggregate fully $l,000,00C
5 There were, he said,2 o25 beeves in tn
= building and grea' quantities of greer
= hides and tallow. The general SUP
? plies of the company were stored i
- the meat market and in the cellar
D and everything in and about tn
1 building was destroyed.

PACKERS In COMBINE
A Gigantic Deal is Said to be Under
Way

Kansas City, July Standard
oilizing OF the packing house business
in the United States appears immi-
nent, with John ID. Rockefeller fur
nishing the needed capital to bring
about combination of all the pack
ing house interests. There is said to
be no longer doubt that the Standard
Oil magnate has entered the packing
field and is practically in control, al
though there is an attempt TO keep
hidden the identity of the new financial
hackers ofthe combine. The entrance
of the. Rockefeller millions is said to
be due partly to ina Dility on the part
of the active promoters to swing so
gigantic a financial proposition with
out powerful support from outside
sources, and partly to the fact that
Rockefeller was already heavily in
terested in the Swift packing plants
and other Swift interests.
According to well informed opinion
the leading active promoter of the
combine has been G. II. Swift, the
head Of Swift & Co., and John d.
Rockefeller is said TO have been
largely Interested in the packing and
stockyards business of Swift & Co.
since 1893, when that company began
to expand and to rival Armour g. Co.
for leadership in the packing house in
dustry. Today Swift g. Co, is capitalized
for $25, ,000, 900 against the $40, 900, 00(
capitalization of Armour & Co., anG
it did last year an estimated bushes!
of $3.50, 900, 900 against 5000, 900, 900 by
the combined Chicago and Kansa!
City Armours.
The tip went out at Swift & Co.'S
plants recently that there was to h
war to the end with the Armour inter
ests, but Immediately afterward Swif
and Co.'s stock began to be gathered
in by the heads of the company, ON
person who is closely identified will
Swift & Co. said that Rockefeller wal
the greatest figure in the combination
which is being promoted by G. +
Swift. The latter has had charge
said this person, of forming the com
! bination, and all talk of the fear tina
: either the Armour or Swift interest
5 would lose their nominal identity il
S the combine, as being the cause of tn
: delay in completing the negotiations
is hoax. The real cause of the dc
lay, and the reason for keeping tn

y Washington dispatch tells of
Professor Willis l.. MoOre's machine
which he says Will cool any room on
the hottest day. which was in opera
ton in the weather bureau. 1t is
constructed on the style of n cylin-
der stove. 1t operates on the princi-
pie of gravity, works automatically,
requires no motive power, and is self
adjusting. The ingredients with
which the machine is charged con-
stitute the secret of the invention,
but Professor Moore says the for
mula does not contain ammonia or
any of the usual chemicals used in
producing freezing mixtures. He is
keeping the secret until he gets his
patents in Europe. The cost is about
the same as would be the price of
coal to heat the same space in eX-
tremeIy cold weather.

Earminri i'm New York.

New York World: Recent census
figures on the manufactures and
mechanical Industries of New York
state showed a capital of S1,651, 21O,-
300 invested in 1865 establishments.
Statistics of the state agricultural
industry, just furnished, show the
holding of 800 farms, which are
valued. with buildings and other inn
provements. at $SsS, 1874 $50.
The census experts make COMPARE
sons all along, indicating the de-
velopments of half-century. OF
course the mechanical Industries of
the state have done most of their
growing within that period. But the
farms have increased in number by
$40 per cent. The tillers of the soil
hold 74.3 per cent of the states total
land acreage. Their gross income
upon their investments i'm 1899 was
equal to II per cent.
New York is so thoroughly settled
that appreciable additions TO its ag-
riculturaI holdings will hardly con-
tinue. But il is evident that the En-
pire state is far from the era of aban-
doned farms which has come upon
portions of New England. The pro-
fits of the grangers show the natural
response to the more-food-demandin
increase in the urban population.
