BEAUTY IN RUINS.

The Famous Court of Honor a Prey to Flames.

WORLD'S FAIR PALACES IS ASHES.

The Casino, the Peristyle and Music Hall Totally Destroyed Manufactures' lluilditif Partially Hurned—Loss

About SI,000,000.

FLAMES AT JACKSON PARK. CHICAGO, Jan. 9.—Fire which started in the Casino at the world's fair grounds at 5:30 p. m. Monday swept away that building', the flames surg-ing through the handsome Peristyle, leaving a trail of blackened columns and crumbled statues including the handsome quadriga which surmounted the arched entrance to the lake, and leaving in ruins the magnificent Music hall, leaped across the broad avenue and wrapped in their embrace the'huge Manufactures' building, with its mountainous rool', destroying- handsome pavilions therein ami valuable exhibits packed and awaiting shipment One fireman was killed and several others injured. The fire, which it is thought was started by tramps, was not extinguished until 2 o'clock this morning, after burning fiercely for eight and one-half hours, and destroying- property roughly estimated at ?1,000,000.

Beginning of llio lilaze.

Columbian Guard Mason first saw* the fire in the Casino building-, lie ran from one box to another, but none worked and he telephoned to Marshal O Malley, who responded with the only engine in the world's fair grounds. In the meantime a box alarm had been turned in and four engines dashed through the gates. When Marshal O'Malley reached the fire lie sent in a 4-11 alarm. This broug-lit seven engines from Englewood and the stock yards district, with Marshal Green, who immediately sent out a special alarm for five more engines. These were sent out on a train. The fire tug Queen, which has been on duty since the fair opened, poured in streams of water from the lake and the engines directed their streams upon the west and north point of the blazing Casino. The Agricultural building- caught tire several times, but the guards extinguished the blaze.

Firemen at a Disadvantage.

The interior of the Casino, with its open center court and balconies, all made of oil-finished wool, fed the greedy flames, which seemed to reach every corner of the building at once. The streams of water fell into the mass of flame without any quenching power, and the wind, which increased in velocity, drove the flame into the firemen who were fighting it at close quarters. The engines were not able to fiud enough water. Some of them dropped their suction pipes through the ice into the lake but many of the fire plug connect tions had been removed and the fire department fought badly handicapped.

Carried to the Peristyle.

When it was seen that the fire could not be cheeked in the Casino, the force was concentrated on the Agricultural building and Peristyle. Extension ladders were raised to the top of the classic bridge, which formed one of the most beautiful architectural features of the court of honor. It was while mounting this ladder that Fireman Mewers of engine company 01 fell. The ambulance was called and he was carried to St Luke's hospital,., where he died soon after.

Marshal Green sent a score of men to the Peristyle. He knew that if the fire once reached it it would go to the Music hall. A dozen streams of water were directed against it, but the Casino wall fell in and the exposed timbers of the

Peristyle blazed up at once, and, driven on by the wind, the fire fastened to the timber frame. Here water could not reach it, for the timbers were covered with staff, and the hollow roof, with a space large enough for a man to stand erect within it, was like a horizontal chimney. 1 he first three columns nearest the casino fell the figures on top crashed to the platform and the fire advanced to the next series of columns. The firemen were helpless. To the east was the lake, with a comparatively narrow platform.' To the west was the brick walk, but the wind beat the flames down until they licked the ground, and the firemen were obliged to fight at a range too long for their wind-tossed streams.

The fire did not move rapidly. It ate its way to the north deliberately and with an obstinacy which nothing could stop. It drove the firemen before it, and gradually neared the Music hall. The fight was made where the Peristyle and Music hall come together.

Knd of the Great Quadriga. The sight was most stupendous, glowingly magnificent when the arch of the Peristyle was reached. Flames enveloped it with a surge, and the great quadriga, typifying "Th« Triumph of Columbus," horses, chariots, figures and aL, were wrapt in a fiery mantle—and the grandest group of statuary at the world's fair crumbled, fell away into blackened dust. Along the Peristyle on the lake front there were statues. "The Indian" died stoical, and all the other mammoth figures, one after the other, were destroyed. music Ilall in Ashes.

The flames crept along unchecked, attacking the handsome Music hall at the north end of the now ruined Peristyle. The fire was burning over the platform of the auditorium before the firemen knew it. It had crept under the cornice and under the roof to burst into flame in the Music hall proper. The firemen on the platform behind the building were ordered to the front, those who had been cutting through the sheathing which covered the supporting piles of the Peristyle were called in and the entire force was massed upon the west jtnd north sides of the Music hall and

the roof and east wall of the Manufactures building. All efforts, however, were unavailing. Soon the building was amass of ruins.

Attiickml the Manufactures.

The flames leaped across the broad avenue between Music hall and the Manufactures and Liberal Arts edifice, and at 8:45—three and a quarter hours after the start of the fire—the enormous building blazed up, the first flames showing themselves away up oil the roof underneath the roof walk on the east or lake front and up near the center of the building, 700 or 800 feet from the seething fire that was destroying Music hall. So soon as this jet of liiime was discovered firemen rushed to the rescue, bringing up hose by the lung flight of outside stairs at the southwest corner of the building. And here they were startled and confronted by the sight of a tiny tlauie away up on the roof on the west side and well toward the middle of the building.

Some sparks had escaped the vigilance of the patrols on the promenade. They had crept beneath the boards, and, fanned by the wind, had developed into flame. They burst out almost simultaneously at four different points—three on the east and one on the west side. They were 250 feet from the ground, and the stand pipes which had been put in for just such an emergency were disconnected from the water pipes last month and the hose carried away. Several efforts were made to lift hose to the roof but the hose burst under the great pressure.

Kire leucines in the Building

The firemen were instructed to save the exhibits within the building, for it was ascertained that showers of sparks were falling from the roof and imperiling the mass of exhibits packed and awaiting shipment.

There were no less than 15,000 cases, many as large as a freight car, thus imperiled. Four engines were driven into the building, and half a dozen streams from stationary hydrants as well were thrown upon the embers as they fell and scattered over the floor and anion the exhibits.

The fire was well fought in the Manufactures building, where such valuable property and so much of it was endangered. The pavilions, the Russian, Austrian and French, around which the greatest danger lay, were for a time thought to be wholly destroyed with all tlieir contents. The pavilions, the French and Russian, several blocks in extent, were wholly destroyed. Upon the fast burning timber a dozen streams of water were played, and the exhibits were destroyed. The pavilions could not be saved, but well directed streams saved the cases of goods from destruction by fire, though the water damage will be great for the boxes could not be made leakless to the inundation to which they were subjected.

Fire Out at 2 A. M.

At 1:30 o'clock this morning the firemen on the roof had succeeded in cutting a hole over the Tiffany exhibit. A rope was lowered and a lead of hose was hauled to the promenade. Then a triple-siamese was made and three engines were coupled on and sent a col tfmn of water to the waiting men on the roof. With this stream where it was needed the fire was soon placed under control. Firemen went ahead of the fire and ripped up the planks, sending the boards down in rapid succession to the ground. The fire still clung to the ventilators, but some vigorous ax work and the stream of water quenched it At 2 o'clock the fire was out, after burning eight and one-half hours.

Tlie Killed and Injured*

The killed and injured at the fire are: William Mackey, 845 Forty-eighth street, pipeman engine company No. 61. Fell from ladder on Peristyle Internally injured and died at Mercy hospital.

The injured: Capt. Frederick Getz, truck company No. 16 fell from roof of Manufactures building left leg broken, chest badly injured and internally hurt removed to emergency hospital.

Eugene Durand, watchman in the French section of the Manufactures building struck on head by plank badly cut and bruised taken to emergency hospital.

Capt. Charles Tobey, engine company No. 61 fell from east gallery to floor burned about body and legs removed to emergency hospital.

Charged to Tramps.

Columbian Guard C. H. Mason was on duty the Music hall Monday evening. He saw three tramps loafing about the Casino building. The guard went over to the strangers and upon questioning thera found they had no business in the building. He ordered them out The men became surly and refused to go. Mason remained firm and finally the tramps left and started west toward the Agricultural building. Guard Mason watched them until he got some distance from the Casino building. He returned to his post in the Music hall. Shortly afterward Mason discovered smoke coming out from the Casino. He feels positive that the fire which proved so disastrous was started by these men.

Some of the Louses.

The exposition company did not lose a cent on the Casino, Peristyle and Music halL The Casino was built by the Columbian Casino company, which had secured a restaurantconcession, and the Peristyle and Music hall had been transferred to the South park commissioners. The insurance on the buildings was allowed to expire and there will be salvage. Hut for the fact that the Court of Honor is blemished by the blackened walls the fire did the commissioners a service, for it saved wrecking labor.

Noted Exhibits Destroyed.

The French exhibit, which was located just south of the center of Manufactures building, was the first to succumb to the Haines. This exhibit was originally valued at 81,500,000, but the larger portion of it is said to have been moved out Among the losses enumerated are the bronze statue of war, the imitation jewelry display. Gobelin tapestries, JJeurdelois' exhibit of mosaic and inlaid furniture, the I)ore bronze vase, lion Marche dress exhibit and library of French books.

From the time that the tire spread toward Music hall and threatened the

Manufactures building a scene of the wildest confusion prevailed among the commissioners responsible for the safety of the exhibits. 3iiri\vinter 1'alr KxhihltM I.ost.

Among other losses in the Manufactures building there were 1,000 cases destined for the midwinter fair at San Francisco. These eases had been collected from all parts of the grounds, from every foreign exhibit at the fair, and had been stored'in the Manufactures building to be rewarolioused by customs officials and be shipped in customs custody to California.

WON'T ADOPT REED'S PLANS.

Speaker Crisp KHusos to ('num. Non-Vot-ing Members to Sorure si Ituorum. W ASiiiNoToN, .Ian. V.—Quite a number of democrats have urged Speaker Crisp to count, a quorum and thus get the house out of its present tangle. To all such suggestions the speaker turned a dtaf ear, as he was one of the men in the Filty-lirst congress who made a tight on lieed for counting a quorum.

The sergeaiYts-at-arms sent out to arrest absentee congressmen returned, bringing .a number of victims with them. Many came voluntarily and were the subject of good-natured dialling fiom their colleagues, who asked them about the "lockstep," "pi ison diet,"' etc. Sergcaut-at-Arins Snow heard from '.00 of the 21(J and expected that number present when the house met. Fifteen members were actually arrested. The others replied that they would return to Washington at once. 1 he roll call revealed the presence of a quorum, 179 members having answered to their names. The demand for the previous question was carried by ISt) yeas, ten more than a quorum. Thirty minutes' debate was then allowed under the rules.

The house having adopted the rule reported by Mr. Catchings fixing January 25 for a vote on the Wilson bill, the tariff debate was at once opened. Mr. Wilson (dem., Va.) addressed the house in support of the measure.

Mr. Wilson, who is in poor health, after speaking one hour and a half suggested to his colleague, Mr. McMillin (dem., Tenn.), that he would like to finish his speech Wednesday, and upon the latter's motion the committee rose. The democrats and galleries applauded vigorously when Mr. Wilson took his seat.

The night session was devoted to set speeches. Mr. Lane (dem., 111.) supported the Wilson bill, as did Mr. Hell (dem., Tex.). Mr. Morse (rep., Mass.) and Mr. Bowers (rep., Cal.) opposed the bill. At the conclusion of the latter's speech, at 10:25, the house adjourned.

MURDERED BY ROBBERS.

Henry Sanpr and His "Wife Slain and Set on Fire—A Son 1H Missing. MAKIKTTA. O., Jan. 9.--Henry Saner

and his wife were found murdered Monday night at their farm 8 miles from this city. He was a wealthy farmer, his family consisting of himself, wife and one son. The latter is missing. The wife has five bullet holes in the face and Saner's head is crushed by blows on the back. Outside of the house are pools of blood. The stock of Saner's gun was found near hiin in the kitchen with the barrel bent out of shape. The clothes were partially burned off and the laces of both more or less burned. The barn is burned with its contents, being full of hay. Three horses and four or five cattle perished. The evident purpose was to burn the house, as the victims were saturated with oil, but neighbors came in time to save the house. It is the theory that the son was burned in the barn. In making a search about the house three poeketbooks were found eoutaiuing $335. These were all together, as if dropped in the haste of the moment. Bureau drawers showed that bloody hands had been about them. Two colored men were seen Monday in the village of llenchville. half a mile away. They asked for razors. Saner was about 00 years old, a soldier and a good citizen. The crime is surrounded so far by mysterv.

IIKAI:I ltv mo ciiowns.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—Tuesday was a Held day in the house for the tariff. The galleries were thronged all day and the lloor crowded. Each side put forth its most brilliant, orators for the day session. Mr. Wilson (dem., W. Ya.), chairman of the ways and means eommitte, completed his speech begun Monday, anil Mr. Uun-ows (rep., Mich.) opened the debate for the republicans with a three-hour reply. (Sen. Black (dem., HI.) and Mr. Hopkins (rep., 111.) followed. The good points of all the speakers were liberally applauded by the respective partisans. At the evening session Mr. Haines, (dent., (N. Y.), in the name of the collar and cult' industry, tired the first shot into the Wilson bill. He displayed a gigantic petition, signed by G7,lH)l) persons, protesting against the collar cuff schedule, declaring that if it were to become a law it would ruin tliih great industry, \Y»t kuieti i-iircfil to Sijjn Petitions.

At 11.15 the house resolved itself into committee of the whole for the consideration of the tariff bill and Mr. Wilson resumed his speech. He continued the thread of his .argument, presenting his side of the ease in forceful language. His remarks were often interrupted by democratic applause, but otherwise he was allowed to proceed until he created something of a stir when he referred to the fact that the protests against the pending bill were largely inspired by the power of capital, which directed, forced and frightened employes to sustain the protected industries.

Calls 011 All Democrats lor Support. Mr. Wilson's peroration was forcible and eloquent- He began with a reference to the legend which he said had always been inscribed on the democratic banner: "Equal rights to all and special privileges to none." The people had brought the democratic party into power on the broad principle of equal justice to all. He said: "THU democratic party raises itself as one man, takes up this great cause, plains its standard hers 10 sink or swim, survivu or perish, that tho democratic party may continue in power. We will plant tho banner here. We mean to iiave a fight atid we will call every true believer in democracy to rally to our side. Let us call upon the American people Tho stiont masses, the farmers, scattered, unable to organize, who plod thoir way under the burdens of taxation. Our petition boxes are Ailed with protests of the trusts and combinations or this country. Let us be true to our faith. Let us go forward until wo make this a country where every man shall see tho gateway of opportunity opening before him, where every mail shall see before him the opportunity to rise to such influence, to such prosperity as his own merits justify, not weighted down with burdens of taxation. Let us labor for a country free-to all, equal to all, with opportunity planted in every home, in every hum bio il reside in the laud."

Uurrows Kepi log.

Mr. Uurrows (rep., Mich.) rose to reply to Mr. Wilson in opposition to the measure. He declared that the decline in public revenues during this fiscal year was not attributable to any defect in the McKinley tariff law, but rather to the general derangement and prostration of business throughout the country. He continued: "The ascendency of a political party pledged to the destruction of our protective policy lias not only crippled and suspended the operation of our domestic manufacturers, but the lmporter of foreign fabrics naturally curtails his importations in the hope of securing their admission into our markets upon the favorable conditions. I conlldentiy assert that If the election of 1892 had resulted in the retention of the republican party in power, accompanied as it would have been with tho assurance of continuance of the American policy of protection, the effect upou the public rove, nue, as well as general prosperity ol the country, would have tieen entirely reversed."

Iteiiellis of the McKinley Law. Mr. Uurrows then proceeded to enumerate the benefits which had accrued to the country from the workings of the tariff bill of 1800. Among them were the creation of hundreds of new industries, enlarged employment and increased wages for workingmen, cheapening of the cost of protected articles to the consumer, increase of foreign trade, large excess of exports over imports and added vigor to our domestic trade.

Caime of the Industrial Deprewlou. Mr. Uurrows continued: "The general paralysis of business throughout the country eorr.os solely from ttie ascendency of a political party pledged to the repeal of tho act of 18BU and the substitution therefor of a tariff divested of all protective features. "This industrial depression oarne not as the result of existing tariff rates, but from un apprehension (it seems not to have been we 11 founded that these rates were to be so modified as to overthrow and destroy our protective policy, exposing our domestic manufacturers to a ruinous foreign competition and Inaugurating in this country au era of free trade with all its attendant evils."

The Wilson Bill.

Mr. Burrows compared the tariff plank of the last democratic platform with the South Carolina ordinance of nullification, and declared that the bill now under consideration, if it should become a law, would prove disastrous to the interests involved, and in to far as it seeks to redaem the pledges, it la either a confession of error or an exhibition of cowardice. The transfer of 187 articles from the dutiable list to the free list was a free donation to foreigners, and from an examination of tho list of articles thus transferred the interests of the farmer seemed to have been belected for special assault and destruction, as nearly one-half of the items embraced in tKiB proposed transfer were the products of domestic husbandry.

Want Work, Not Lower Dutle*.

Mr. Uurrows then quoted from leading authorities as to tho advantage of specific duties. He added: ••Starving families, clutching for the last morsel or food, cannot be lulled into forgetfulness of present misery by the announcement of lower aa valorem duties on the necessaries of life. Tramping the streets, out of employment,
