j valued at $350,000, while the strttctnro
itself is worth at least (10,000. The machinery is vnluod at fully 575,000, while- the stores of the company wero kept In the building, and were worth 25,000. The only insurance we carried was on the building, und I think amounts to about 640,000." Tho loss will fall upon the Vlllard syndicate, which owns the road. It seems to be pretty well established, at least from the watchman's story, that the fire was caused by tho explosion of a bomb, which was thrown through thc main doorway, and struck the car standing nearest to thc entrance. The bomb must have been tilled with something of a highly inflammable nature, because only a few seconds after the explosion the entire building was in flames. It is said that Chief Foley has re

the identity of the writer, who is believed to be a crank. A special meeting of the city council Is to be held to take action toward stopping the reign of incendiarism, and it is likely that a special grand jury will bo sailed to investigate the matter.

Chicago, Dec. SO. A Fort Wayn train in the seml-darkncss of thu early hours of yesterday morning dashed past tho Forty-&eventh-strect crossing nt the rate of thirty miles tin hour, ami left behind It the mangled bodies of four dead and a dozen fearfully injured passengers of a street car. The accident occurred shortly after 6 o'clock. The street car going cast on Forty-seventh street was crowded with half a hundred laboring men, going to their work. The passungers wero wholly unaware that a train was ap. proaching as the car started to cross the railroad track. There was ubsolately no warning. There wns the wild shriek of an ungine, n frightful crash, as the train tore through the midst of the ill-fated people, and. in an instant the dead and injured wero strewn along tho frozen ground by thc tracks. Thu train came to a standstill some distance south of the crossing and those on board hastened hack to the wrecked street car, of which scarcely enough remained to enable the witnesses to distinguish what it had once been. Tho neighboring residents also
turnen out to tne rescue or the wounded, Thc alavm was turned in to all tho police fitatlons anywhere within the vU
cinlty nnd five police patrol wagons reached the spot a short time after. At first everything was confusion. It was still dark, and, while thc cries of tho wounded could he heard, their bodies weru almost Invisible.' The houses near tlie crossing were soon turned into impromptu hospitals, and a numbcrof the unfortunate people were taken to the hospitals and to their homes. One man who was found still breathing lived long enough only to be carried into a neighboring house, and before another of tile injured had reached Mercy hospital death came and the destination of tlie wagon was changed to the morgue. Most of the bodies were found in the debris of the street car, but after tho search had been thought complete it was found that two men had been dragged several hundred feet by the engine, under the tender of which they
still remained.
Six people were plnced under arrest.
They were: Patrick Shandley and
HernardO'Connor.driverand conductor, respectively of the street ear; Engineer Rosscup and Fireman Meager, of the
construction train, and tho gatomnn, John Alfiright, nnd tlie towerman,
Peter Schwartz. To all of these some suspicion of carelessness is attached.
The gatcman was last January in
dicted for alleged carelessness in connection with n fatal accident at Iiis crossing. In thc present instance neither the gatcman nor thc towerman wns at his post, both being in a warm shanty near the trades, leaving the gates up nnd exposing any street enr or pedestrian to approaching trains. This fact was established by their own statements. The street car men appear to have been equally careless, oither the driver drove upon the trncks without receiving any signal from the conductor who had gone in front, or the conductor gave that signal without first having satisfied himself that, the track was clear. The fireman nnd engineer of the tram arc also at variance in their statements. There seems to be no doubt in tho mind of tiny one that the accident was due to inostgross carelessness in somo quarter. The construction train was ono which leaves the depot, with rare exceptions, each morning at r:.'r o'clock. VoKtoi-flnv II, Massed the crossing at
