DEATH BREAKS INTO CROWD At FIRE
BIG STOCK YARD BLAZE
Explosion Destroys the Armour Re-
fincry In chicaeo-Twcnty-Nine
sightscers Are Injured.

During a fire Friday at Chicago
which destroyed the lard refinery OF
Armour & Co, in the Union stock
yards. II people were injured, four OF
them in manner which will probably
cause death in short time. The
loss of the company is estimated by
its officers at between S750,O00 and
5000 900. There was number OF
accidents. but the larger number OF
those who were hurt met their injuries
by the falling OF a hog-runway upon
which they were standing to obtain
better view CT the fire. Tho lard
refinery had just been completed. aud
was considered by its owners the most
complete establishment of its kind in
the United States. 1t was five stories
high and 250X300 feet. 1t was filed
with new and costly machinery. and
during the day 1000 people worked
within its walls. The night shift
numbered 200, and all were in the
building when the fire broke out II
Is thought that all escaped in safety.
The fire originated with an explosion
of three lard tanks on the fifth floor,
the immediate vicinity, and number
were burned by the scaldlng lard. but
none seriously. II was not minute
after the explosion before the ffth
floor was in a mass of flames. All
the worlimen in the building made
a fantic rush for safety, and all
reached the open air. The flames
spread through the building. and
within an hour ali the walls, with the
exception OF that on the south, were
lying on the ground. That portion Of
the Forty fourth street viaduct close
to the burning building was densely
packed and suddenly about 200 feet
of a hog runway, extending from the
viaduct to the plant of Armour & Co.,
gave way. precipitating fully 1000 per-
sons to the ground. The firemen
abandoned their work on the building
and devoted their energies to saving
the people, All were taken from
the wreckage within few minutes and
placed in an improvised hospital in
the plant OF the German.American
Provision Company. 1t is said by the
police that the number Of those In
jured by the fall of the yiaduct is
greatly in excess of the number re-
ported, as there were many who We're
