A Score of People Iniured.

During the progress of fire which de-
stroyed the lard refinery of Armour & Co.,
in the Union stock yards, Chicago. twenty.
nine people were injured, five of them in
a manner which will probably cause death
in short time. The loss of the company
is estimated by the officers at between
$3.50, 900 and 500. 900, with all the chances
in favor of the latter figure. There was a
number of accidents but so far the larger
number of those who were hurt met their
injuries by the falling of hog-run way
upon which they were standing to obtain
better view of the fire.
The lard refinery had Just been COM
plesed and was considered by its owners
the most complete establishment of its kind
in the United States. 1t was filed with
new and costly machinery and 9, 600 people
worked within its walls.

\ Grazing Country.

In addition TO its great crops of sugar
and tobacco, Cuba affords splendid graz
in- facilities. which should make it in
course OF time a great cattle-producin:
country. Hogs would thrive there. and
there is no reason why the island should
not produce all its own pork. The rea-
son it has never done so is because the
Spaniards taxed hogs so heavily that the
people could not afford to raise them.
