Burlington Station at That Place
Completely Destroyed by Fire
and Loss is About
100000.
ORIGIN OF FIRE MYSTERY
Telephone Operators Had Marrow
Escape, but Stuck to Their
Posts Until Last-Records
Consumed.

The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
railroad station, at Galesburg, Ill.,, one
OF the most complete in the system
and from which the business of the
Illinois and Galesburg departments
was done, was destroyed by fire yes
terday afternoon. The structure ON
Seminary street is a mass of ruins.
The burning had its sensational fea-
lures. The loss will probably be not
far from one hundred thousand dol
lars, and the loss of records and pa
pers is severe one. In not less than
an hours time the structure was
largely ashes.
The Western Union sustained Sc
we're loss in the burning of. its wires
at the station and at present has but
one wire to Chicago.
The origin of the fire is wrapped in
mystery and it must have been smol-
dering some time before it was dis
covered by chance by John Wolf of
| the clerks office.
The fire quickly worked its way to
the west end OF the building, the
/ flames raging with the most intensity
in the central portion of the building
and about the high tower.
4 Although the fire was discovered
about 1880 o'clock, in an Incredibly
short time the whole roof from one
end of the great building to the Other
was wrapped in flames. Throughout
it all the employees of the company
worked with the utmost bravery max
ing every effort to save the valuable
records and papers with which thu
building was stocked. The flames will
