CIRCUS BARN BURNS.
Barnum & Bailey Sustain a
Serious Loss by Fire.

Bridgeport Conn. Feb 25.-F'ire par
tally destroyed the new brick car barn
at the new winter quarters of the Bar
mum & Bailey circus here and burned
number of cars belonging to the cir
Gus. The loss is estimated at 100000 on
which there is insurance of $33, COO The
fire was caused by a lamp falling to the
floor in the midst of a quantity of BEN
zine and other infiammable matter.
While the fire was at its height a cor
nice fell carrying to the ground with 1t
twelve firemen who were at work on the
roof The men were much bruised but
We're not otherwise injured. Excitement
was occasioned during the removal OF
fourteen elephants which were quarter
ed in a building adjoining the car barns.
1t was necessary to romove the ele-
plants through a door facing the burn
ing building across the tracks between
rows of burning and smoking cars In
order to accomplish this safely the four
keepers took one animal out at time
until the entire herd was removed. The
loud trumpeting of the elephants gave
rise to a rumor that the animals had
broken loose. This rumor rapidly spread
around the city and occasioned much
alarm The other animals, however,
were at no time in danger. The fire
was under control in about half an
hour.
Six new Pullman cars valued at s13.-
900 each and two new fat cars valued at
81, 600 were destroyed. More than $50
feet of the barns was burned to the
ground, and ten stock cars which were
standing outside the barn were dam
aged.
