BLAZE OF RED FIRE.
Chicago to Celebrate It's Centennial
with Pyrotechnic Display.

CHICAGO, Sept. H.-Committees in
charge of Chicago's centennial celebration,
which will begin next Saturday and last
until the following Thursday night. re-
ported to-day that the preliminary details
were practically complete and issued pro-
gramme for the six days.
To-day invitations were sent out for the
banquet of mayors which will take place at
the Auditorium on Thursday night, Oct. /.
More than 5000 invitations have been is
sued for the Daughters of the American
Revolution reception, at which many of the
members will appear in gowns of a hundred
years ago. On Saturday night the centen-
NAL managers will give reproduction of
the burning of the city in 1871 in a unique
display of red fire. One hundred tons of
the inflammable material will blaze from
the roofs of several scores of the tallest
buildings in the downtown district and for
thirty minutes the city will seem to be
struggling with a disaster similar to that
which almost resulted in destruction
thirty-two years ago.
The scene, judging from tests recently
made on one of the high buildings, will be
thrilling to the extreme and the display
will surely prove an inspiring spectacle.

the car, left Chicago at $3.50 o'clock this
morning with one guard and about $4,000

believed, the object of the attack of
the two men.
Ganghin was taken to st. Lukes Hospital

dislocated and he had sustained severe
bruises. IL he had not been discovered in
time, the physicians say, he would have
smothered because of the gag in his
mouth. The police are investigating. Moth
ing was taken from the express man and
the property in the car was untouched.
