CIRCUS QUARTERS BURNED.
Barnum & Bailey Outfit Badly Dam
aqed by the Flames.

Barnum G. Bailey Outfit Badly DAM
aged by the Flames.
Bridge port, Conn, Feb. 25.-Fire
partially destroyed the new brick cal
barn at the rev winter quarters of the
Barnum & Bailey circus here yesterday
and burned a number of cars belong
ing to the circus. The loss is esti-
mated at 100000, on which there is
$4,000 insurance. The fire was caused
by a lamp falling to the floor IN the
midst of a quantity of benzine and
other inflammable material. While the
fire was at its heighth a cornice fell
carrying to the ground with 1t twelve
firemen who were at work on the roof.
The men were considerably bruised but
were not otherwise injured.
Considerable excitement was occas-
ioned during the removal of fourteen
elephants in q building adjoining the
car barn. 1t was necessary to remove
the elephants thru a door facing the
burning building across the tracks be-
tween rows of burning and smoking
cars
In order to accomplish this safely
the four keepers took one animal out at
a time until the entire herd was re-
moved The trumpeting of the ele-
phants gave rise to a ruInor that the
animals had broken loose. This rumor
spread around the city and occasioned
much alarm. The other animals, how
ever, were, at no time. In danger.
The fire was under control in about
half an hour. Six new Pullman cars
valued at $4,000 each, and two new
a,+ ears yaI,,ed at $4,000 were de-
stroyed. More than 100 feet OF the
barns was burned to the ground and
ten stock cars, which were standing
outside the barn were considerably
damaged.

is estimated that the loss to corn in
crib and growing wheat between this
city and Paducah is $1,000. Lumber
men along the Ohio and smaller riv-
ers near here will lose probably as
much. Packets ran on schedule time
yesterday, for the first time in a week.
