Burning Building in St. Louis.
By the collapse of building in st.
Louis during FIRE Tuesday night six
firemen are dead and many are injured.
The walls of the structure fell without
warning. for it was believed the fire
fighters had the blaze under control. Men
were at work on all FIVE floors OF the
building when the accident occurred.
The fire broke out in the upper floors
of the five-story building at 31i Chestnut
street. \ general alarm was sent in
and the department hurried to the scene.
as the district is considered a dangerous
one, being just opposite the Merchants
Exchange. The flames seemed to be
pretty well under control when suddenly
the entire lrIil.ling collapsed, crumblin:
away from the first story. The roof.
floors and walls fell inward. carrying
down with them the fire fighters who
were on the different floors.
Chief Swingley. who was in front OF
the building directing his men. had a
miraculous escape fronr-,leath. As the
front wall fell outward he scurrieI across
tire street and fell under the aerial track.
The truck was covered with debris and
partially wrecked. and it was owing 10
its sheltering protection the chief owes
his life.
The building was one Of the oldest husi-
ness houses in the city, having been occu-
pied by the Mclean Medical Company
twenty years ago. but OF late has been
occupied by the American Tent and

was badly damaged by a fire which broke
out in the fifth story. The loss will not
exceed 100000.

hotel. both of which are partially covered
by S56.OO0 insurance.

may be controversy between the opera

their product is good the price they get
