Chicago, July 10, 19U3.
CS-j53llE nngols of death and
JI L flamo furnished' n
,ff tragedy at tlio World's
SffL,, Fair yesterday after
noon. A flimsy con
structed building, lm lit
by tho Hercules Iron
Company, of Chicago,
used as a colli storupo
warehouso and ico skating rink, and situated
near tho Sixty-fourth Btrcot cnlrauco to tho
exposition grounds, burned to tho ground In
a llttlo over an hour ycster.lay afternoon,
sending to death, as far as is known at mid
night, at least twenty men and Injuring
nineteen others.
Tho full extent of the ileath wrought
may never bo known, as the I) ulldlng col
lapsed totally in so short u time after tho
fire started that many people who entered
the building hoping to render aid before
tho peril under which tlioy were placing
themselves was realized, wro caught
llko rats In a trap and went unannounced
to their doom. It is said that but four

Columbian guards are missing, but there
aro many vacancies in the different com

their captains, while refusing to commit
themselves, fear that several of their men
have been cremated. The following is a

whom aro probably dead;

Death has never clone such swift nnd
ghastly work at a Are in Chicago since the
dark days of October, 1871. The horror of
tho spectacle will forever remain as a hid
eous nightmare In the minds of many
thousands of men and women who gazed
upon it. It was intensified by tho dizzy
height from which tho victims were seen
to fall Into a vast furnace of blazing tim
ber ana other Inilnmmable material.
Deeds of heroism wore done by the fire
men who. perished and thoso who live to
grlovo over their lost comrades. The
Columbian Guardsmen were not lacking
In bravery and devotion to duty In the
hour of danger and even in the faco of
death.
The loss of property will probably
amount to over fesoauw, but nobody ox.
cept those who have suffered financially Is
tmnlung or the money loss when all
around, at the Are and guard station
house, tho Emergency hospital and the
morgue, on tno highways or the fair,
around the scene of woe, are evldonces of
the exposition's deadly baptism of fire.
Tho sun was shining Its brightest from a
blue sky at 1:30 o'clock yesterday after
noon, and the pleasure seeking peoplo
passed under the shadow of the cold stor
age warehouse Suddenly a boy saw a
tongue of flame escaping from tho cupola.
or observatory tower, which formed the
topmost section of the warehouse. From
the ground to that first flame there were
830 feet of space. The boy gave the alarm
and In a few minutes the firemen came
dashing along.
The altitude of the blazing observation
tower and Its Isolation from the great
main root made the work of the firemen
hazardous and slow from the outset. Be
fore the firemen got to work several paint
ers, electric light men and others employed
In tho building ascended by the elevators
to tho main root and afterwards climbed
up tho spiral staircaso which was built
around the great death trap of a smoke
stack until they reached the balcony un
derneath the burning cupola. They found
the flames had gone too far to be smothered
by the chemicals at hand.
Captain Harkness,of the guards, ordered
Sergeant Douglass to tako eight men up
to the blazing tower and alu the ilremcn.
The sergeant gave his superior officer one
look, such as officers of the Light brigade
at Balaklava may have glveu the com.
inandlng general when he gave tho order
to charge into the mouths of roaring Kus-
sian cannon. But the sergeant went, and
eight guards followed to do their duty. By
A straugo chanco all are alive today to tell
the tale and mourn the loss of brave com
rades.
Not so with the firemen. They went out
ou the roof and hauled up the hoso with
ropes to the first story of the tower on the
eat and south sides of tno warehouse,
Others rushed up the spiral stairway to
the landing next to the ulazlug top ana
lowered ropes ou three sides to the men
Vlow 16 attach" the hof'e to, "Until tht
efi
I have a nutubcr of Re
time tho fire resembled tiio flaming mouth
of a small blntt f u ruaco,(md at a distance
there seemed to be no Jlaugcr menacing
those brave men at worklhuiidreds of feet
iu the air. g
Tho experienced eye oSClilef Murphy, In
command of the World'J fair firo depart
ment, failed to suspect ngy risk to his men
when he onWreu them no go up to the
tower below the blaze. But hescnt nearly
all th.ni to a death, theorror and agony
of which no human tnnf&e or pen can de
scribe. Those tew moments of realization
thnt flames stirroutidedj them above and
be! v, followed by their last act In life,
must have been a an (Sjerntty of hell to
every soul. A- sixteen foot ladder was
plnceil from tho flrst section of the tower
to tho landing on which the men were, but
no one thought of running a big ladder
from the main roof to th'o tower, so as to
connect with the small ladder.
Without a thought df the fate which
was soon to overtalio them, tho thirty odd
men outside the tower M'ero at work on tho
cast and south sides. All this time the
flames were burning through tho larger
section of tho tower honeath them. The
first intimation of danger camo to tho
victims when smoke appenred under them,
and as tho wind blew it Into their faces
they retreated in an orderly body boyond
tho lnndlng to tho north sido of tho tower
with tho exception of one man, a painter,
who slid down tho hoso which had been
brought up to the south side of tho tower.
It may bo that more would have taken
this apparently sure and safo means of es
cape had It not been for tho smoko which
seemed to envelop them. It seemed as If
the victims changed position because thoy
feared flames would soon follow tho smoko
which they saw.
Death quickly came to put an end to
suspenso and agony. The flames had
been devouring five feet of frame work
which surrounded tho cast iron shaft that
pierced tho tower below tho men. Quick
as a flash tho (Ire burst through the srjuaro
tower just underneath tho imprisoned
men on all sides. The gold letters "Her
cules Ico Skating Kink and Cold Storage
Warehouse" were In tho center of tho
tower and around them tho flames cir
culated. Iu a few seconds the Imprisoned ones felt
tho scorching (Ire coming, and with ono
Impulse of self preservation tho men
moved quickly to where tho ropes were
attached at the northwest corner, Tho
man nearest the ropo grasped it and de
scended, but for only a few feet. The ropo
was burned In two, nnd with feet down
ward the first victim shot through tho air
to tho main roof. He turned partly over
before ho struck, and bounded up before
lying as lf dead.
A great cry of anguish and fear camo up
from thousands on tho ground and nt
other points where tho first of thoso awful
leaps and falls could bo seen. Strong men
wept and became hysterical. Some cried
aloud for God to save t ho poor souls penned
between flanios. They got on their knees
and prayed to God that all might not per
ish. Woman could bo seen everywhere
fainting nnd wringing their handp, btiry
ing'or turning away their faces and crying
hysterically at tho sickening sceue. An
intramural train, fnclng the flery specta
cle, had to bo stopped because some of tho
women ou board fainted and became hys
terical. But worse was to follow worse. No
sooner had ono man struck the roof than
another leaped from tho tower before the
horrified gaze of tho spectators. Ills body
kept straight down until near tho rool
when he turned a somersault, and a sec
ond cry of horror came from thousands
of throats. The two ropes on tho north
side of the tower, where the doomed men
were huddled nt the edge, were almost use
less for tho saving of life, yet for the first
possession of the one corner nt least ten
fought as savage beasts.
They only prolonged their consciousness
of life, for all were doomed to die, yet they
struggled to catch at anything which
seemed to hold out a chanco to leap and
live. One by ono they dropped from the
tower, some clinging to burning ropo as
far as It afforded them any hold and then
shooting through a solid sheet of flame to
the roof. Tho sight was too much for even
the military men and tho old firemen on
tho ground to bear without a shudder and
a turning away of faces, Human forms
leaping through flames a hundred feet or 1
more down, down to sure death, presented
a sight the stoniest heart could not wit
ness unmoved.
Tho last man on that tower died the
hero's death among all thoso heroes who
faced tho furnace below them. Ho had
waited without apparent fear until there
was only himself left, like Casablanca,
who stood on the burning deck. He was
a fireman, and he grasped the remunnt of
burning rope just as the whole tower struc
ture parted diagonally and fell towards
the north, right over the prostrate bodies
of the poor fellows who had leaped to es
cape the pitiless flames. Tho last man
who went down to death with the tower
kept feet down as far as the rope went,
and then the rush of flames and air was so
great that his body was turned round and
round in the passage within sight of all,
and the blazing tower fell over his form,
making a funeral pyre and ending his
agony, If ho was not dead before striking
the roof.
Ono victim remained on tho tower until
the flames from below had burned his legs
so that the flesh peled from the bone.
When the tower toppled over there was no
hope of saving those who had not been
taken off the roof.
The most sublime deed of heroism In
that tragic hour was performed by three
firemen iu ample time to save the life of
their superior officer, Captain James Fits
patrlck, the assistant Are chief at the fair,
lie was on the roof when the tower fell
over without warning, nnd his leg was
broken, besides being crushed by falling
timbers. The captain crawled towards
the edgo of the roof, already on Are, and
held out a hand lu a mute appeal for help.
The noble rescue, although it only re
sulted in saving the captain's body from
further mutilation by Are, was watohedhy
thousands of people in breathless suspense
and rewarded by a mighty cheer when the
body reached the ground to be tenderly
laid on a stretcher and borne to the hos
pital in the nmbulauce. But the captain
never recovered consciousness, aud died at
8 o'clock.
In tho cold storage vaults were a stock
of vegetables, fruits, wines, liquors, fruit
and dairy produote, valued at iuO.000, all
of which is destroyed.
At 10 o'clock last nlghttsix bodies had
been recovered, when work was tempo
rarily suspended. Only one bedy, that of
William Denning was recognjjzable.

VERY INTERESTING GASES
It Is Claimed William llarklus Owes h
Ilalnuvu ( H fviclcty Tor Which lio Acled
as Tri'HKiirer and Ho Disowns the Inatrii
ment I'riidilceil Agulnnt lllin.
Interesting law suit
has been precipitated
between Wru. IIarkln9
and tho A. 0. of II.,
and If Sir. llarklns'
aUldavtts should ho
confirmed upon tho
court's final disposition
of tho matter some
sensational dove Ion
monls may bo looked for. Tho litigation
hinges on a claim that a bond upon which tho
society seeks to recover is a forgery.
It appears that in January, 1889, William
Harklus, who rosldos on Horth Jardin street,
was 'elected treasurer ol Division No. 10,
A. 0. of H pf town. The organization
required him to givo bond in tho sum of $200,
which he did, llarklns and his wife being
tho sureties.
Owing to difficulties within tho organiza
tion llarklns resigned tho trcasurershlp, and
It Is charged did not account for a bilauco ol
the funds lie hold in his hands.
This was in 16U1. Tho society's officers
qulotly sot about to recover tho alleged miss
ing funds, but tho bond given by Harkius
and his wife could not bo found.
Tho matter remained In s(an quo until
January, last, when Harkius' wifodlcd. Then
the toclety set about to sell llarklns' interest
in his wlfo'scstato, hut tho bond was still
irissing.
Singularly enough, in March last, a bond
purporting to bo tho one given by llarklns in
18S9 turned up and this was filed In th(
Common Pitas Court and an execution
Issu d theieou by counsel fur tho society, and
tho Sheriff accordingly made his levy upon
Harkius' lifo interest In his wife's property
iiu North Jar tin street.
This action was a great surpriso to Harkius
and ho engaged counsel to have tho matte r
Investigated. Upon an examination of tht
bond filed Harkius declared that it was not
tho bond giveu by him iu 1880. In other
words, that tho bond now ou record isa fraud
-and a forgery.
Backed up by this statement of facts tht
counsel Harkius employed presented to
tho court an affidavit setting forth that fraud
and inipDsition has bcon practiced upon Har
kius and upon tho filing of this bond the
court has grantod a rule to show causo why
tho judgment agaln-t Harkius and wife
should not bo stricken from tho records. This
rule is made returnable ou tho first Monday
of Soptember, next, lu the meantime coun
sel will tako testimony, aud upon tills testi
mony tho court will he asked to direct that
tho Judgment be set aside.
Tho gentleman who makes tho Btatemonts
upou which this report is based says ho has
dOL-u tho bond in disputo and feels that it 1
certainly a suspicious instrument ou its face,
as it ba3 boon written in at least three
varltics of ink and tho signatures, including
thoso of the witnesses, seem to have beeu
written by tho same h.nd. llarklns claims
In his affidavit that he wrote his own name
aud his wife's namo In tho original bond -,
but the signatures in tho bond la controversy
appear to havo been written by differeut
parties; and the Harkius people also call
attention, in support of their claim of fraud
and lurgury, to tho lapse ol time between
1889 and 1803.
Haikius seems to havo had a series of
tnisfortums lately, beginning with the death
of his wlfo and followed by proceedings by
his brother-in-law to have him declared a
confirmed inebriate, which fell through.

The meeting was held lu tho ofllco of 8. B.

was finally decided to adjourn to meet to

cheap to close out the stock,
proesious from tho party workers, better
results may bo expected.
Tho bono of contention seemed to bo tho
rulo governing roprosematlon at tho county
and district conventions. A majority favored
a change Tho old rulo is that a district
having loss than 35 voters holds ono vote; 35
aud.lefs than 50, two votes; 150 and loss
than 2,j0, four votos ; all ovor 250, six votes.
Tho chango proposed it that thodclcgato
from each district shall cast tho voto polled
for tho lowest candidate on tho ticket.
Tho noxt question considered was when
and how to olect dolcgatos to tho stato and
national conventions. Tho members of tho
committeo seemed more greatly divided upon
this question that tho rulo governing repre
sentation to tho county conventions, each
momber having a plan of his own.
Besides tho two rcforrcd to flvo changes iu
the rules aro contemplated. Under tho
existing rules governing tho party, only a
member of tho Standing committeo isellglblo
as County Chairman. Ono of tho changes
suggested is allowing the candidates nomi
nated to select tho chairman, whethor the
latter bo a member ol tho Standing committeo
or not.
It Is also proposed to rcduco tho member
ship of tho standing committeo. At present
ea-h district is allowed two members of that
committee, aud the proposed chango is that
eacli district bo allowed ouly ono member.
