HIcAGo, May 16.-During the
progress Of a fire which tonight
destroyed the lard refinery Of Ar
mour & Co, in the Union stock yards,
seventeen people were injured, seven Of
them in a manner which win probably
cause death in a short time. The loss
OF the company is estimated by it's Of
fcers at between $4,000 and 100000,
with all the chances in favor of the
latter figure.
There were a number Of accidents,
but by far the largest number Of those
who were hurt met their injuries by
the falling of the hog runway, upon
which they were standing to obtain
better view of the fire.
The lard refinery had just been COM
pleted, and was considered by its own
ers the most complete establishment Of
its kind in the United States. II stood
at the intersection of Forty third
street and Center avenue. and was five
stories high and 250 to 800 feet long. II
was filed with new and costly ma
chinery and during the day 1000 peo-
pie worked within its walls. The night
shift numbered zoo and all Of them
were in the building when the fire
broke out. 1t is thought all escaped in
safety although the time allowed some
of them was exceedingly brief.
The fire originated with an explosion
Of three lard tanks on the fifth floor
Of the building. The cause Of the ex-
plosion is unknown, but the three
tanks, which were filed with boiling
lard, went up with a roar almost in
the same second. There were a score
Of workmen in the immediate vicinity
Of the tanks, and a number Of them
were burned by the scalding lard, but
none was seriously burned. It was not
a minute after the explosion before the
entire fifth floor was mass Of
flames.
Wild Run For Safety.
All the workmen in the building
made a frantic rush for safety and
while all reached the open air without
trouble some of those on the fifth floor
lost their hats and coats, there not
being an instant Of time allowed il
which to pick them up. Despite the
utmost efforts of the fire department
the fameIF spread through the entire
building. and within an hour after the
commencement Of the fire all the walls,
with the exception of that on the
south, were lying on the ground
The fire was one Of the most spectac-
ular that has been seen IN Chicago IN
recent years, and the display attracted
an enormous crowd of people, who
crowded all the narrow streets in the
stock yards and swarmed by thousands
upon the viaducts which pass through
the yards at a height Of. twenty feet
