It was filled with new and oatlf machinery and during the day 1,800 people worked within Us walla. The night ah lft numbered TOO, and all ot them were la tha building when the fire broke out. It la thought all escaped In aafety, al though tha time allowed some of them was exceedingly brief. The Bra originated with an explosion of three lard tanks on the fifth floor of the building.- The cauaa ot the explosion Is unknown, but tha three tanks, which were -filled with boiling lard, went up with a roar almoat In the same second. Tha fire was one of the most spectacular that has been seen in Chicago In recent years and the display attracted an enor mous crowd of people, who crowded all the narrow streets In the stockyards . and swarmed by thousands upon tha viaducts which paaa through the yards at a height of twenty feet from the ground. People Fall from Vladaet. That portion of the Forty-fourth street viaduct close to the burning building was Uenaely packed and auddenly about 200 Teat of a bog runway, extending from the viaduct north to tha plant ot Armour and company, gave away, precipitating fully 1,000 persons to the ground.

A call was hastily sent for the police ambulance, but the one atatloned nearest ts the fire was thirty minutes respond ing. The horses of tha ambulance. Just as they were about to be hitched, ran away. It la said by tha police that the number of those injured by the fall of the viaduct la greatly In excess of the. number re ported. A number of firemen were slightly burned while at work In the building and' for a time It was reported that several had been killed. Michael Maloy, driver of engine company 49,- sustained Injuries which -will caoee his death while driving his engine to the fire. The streets In fho stockyards proper are not wide and Maloy was urging his horses at top speed when one of. the reina broke. Hia horses plunged towsrds the crowd of people on the side of the street. Maloy, seeing that somebody would be badly In jured unless his team was checked, sprang from bis scat to the back ot one of the horses and graeped the team, by the bits, turning them against a brick building. The horses struck the wall with terrific force and Maloy was caught between the wall and one of the horses. He waa fearfully crushed. In estimating the damage to the plant, Superintendent M. C. Conway of Armour Co. ss!1: "The building had. Just been completed and it cost $500,000. I ran not tell Just what the contents were worth, but It waa certainly not less tbsn somewhere between 1250.000 and $300,000," . Secretary C F. Langdoh of the company said that the contents of the refinery were worth from :60,000 to $400,000, with the chances very strongly in favor ot the Ut ter figure.

OMAHA MEN WIN FAST CAME Treat tha People of Bt. Joseph to Another One to Nothing Exhibition. SHORTSTOP D0LAN CAPTURES CROWD Garvin, St. Joseph Right Fielder, Also Does a Bit of Btar Work Which Reenlts la a Doable Play. BT. JOSEPH, May 1. (Special Telegram.) Omaha won today'a game by a score of 1 to 0. The features consisted of three run ning catches and very fast infield work on the part of Omaha. In the second Inning Omaha's first man up made a two base hit, advanced to third cn an infield out and scored on a long fly to left. The one-handed stop of Dolan brought an ova tion for the visiting shortstop. Garvin In right field tor St. Joseph played a beau tiful game. A long running catch and throw to firit, by which he completed a double play, was sensational. Both teams played snappy ball, but St. Joseph lost by poor work on the bases. Alloway pitched a beautiful game. While he struck out none In one, two, three order, he kept the hits so well scattered that they amounted to nothing. This series of games la by long odds the best aeen here this season. The teams are probably more evenly matched than any others In the league. Attendance 1,000. Score: OMAHA. AB. R.
