Unable to Approach Within
Block of the
Flames
By Associated Press

By Associated Press
CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-Fire, so hot that
firemen could not get nearer than a
block to it and which made it neces-
sary to play streams of water on
buildings three and four squares
away, this afternoon destroyed the
Burlington evelators "E'' and IF" the
Rock Island transfer warehouse of
that road and either burned or rem
dered useless 500 box cars.
The loss on the grain in the two
elevators, as placed by Armour & CO..
who owned it, is 100000. The total
loss is placed at $1,700,000.
The fire started in the Burlington
warehouse, supposedly from a ciga-
rette. The explosion which followed
shook every building in the vicinity,
The $50 men employed in the ware
house and elevators fled and 1t is be-
lievel all escaped.

tion. The chances are it came through
the Grand canyon from New Mexico,
Colorado or Utah. Coroner c. w.

the remains and ordered their inter-

ORGANIZED THIEVES.
Plundering Cases of Silks Imported by
Gotham Merchants.

New York, Oct. 21.-Is there an or
ganized band of thieves plundering
cases of silks. laces and other goods
imported bv New York merchants? The
Merchants association thinks there is.
The United States authorities are not
willing to concede it. But both agree
that large quantities of goods have
been stolen from cases so skfllfully
that on the surface no sign is left of
the work, and the thefts have been dis
covered only when the cases have been
opened Dozens of pairs of fine kid
gloves, yards of valuable laces, rich
silks. many pairs of silk hose, some
times bottles of rare wines have dis
appeared with no trace of the goods or
clue to the robbers. Within few
days four fragrant cases have been re-
ported by members of the Merchants
association. Scores of others have been
noted from time to time, mostly, how
ever in small amounts. The value OF
the largest amount stolen from any one
consignment has been $500.
Appraiser Wanmaker says he has not
been informed of the $500 robbery; that
the highest value placed on goods
stolen from any one case of which he
has a report is $245. What the aggre-
gate of the stealings is can only be
guessed 1t is probable that 100000
worth of goods has been taken.
Secret service men are working on
the cases day and night, but their prog
ress has not been great.
