HALF MILLION FIRE.

Big Blaze in Springfield Chemical
Plant Caused Much Damage.
Springfield, Ohio, Feb. 1.-THE
largest fire in the history of Spring
field broke out in the Champion Chem
ical plant yesterday forenoon. By
1890 twelve manufacturing plants
were in ruins. The estimated loss is
$500 900; insurance 100000. The fire
started from an explosion of chemicals
in the Champion Chemical plant on
the fourth floor. A strong southwest
erly wind was blowing and with amaz-
ing rapidity the fire ate it's way along
buildings which were all under one
roof, extending 500 feet along the east
street and 1900 along the railroad.
The efforts of the fire companies were
of no avail One plant quickly fol-
lowed another until all were ablaze.
Workmen saved very little equipment.
Every building was destroyed, with
nothing but the walls standing. Ten
firemen were caught in the Office OF
the Krell French company and to get
out rolled down the steps and jumped
out the windows. The shops were
originally built at a cost of $75O,00O
and equipment at 100000. At the
receivers sale Senator Fairbanks
bought them for 100000.

by a special election in 1897 to succeed w.

and the platform and benches were moved
into the yard. A large picture of Bryan
was hung in the most conspicuous place,
and near il was a picture of Claude Mat
