CiiU Ado, HI., July 0.- What is left of the gilded statue of Columbia, near tho eastern end of the Court of Honor, tho central point of interest to thousands of visitors last summer, to-night looks upon ii wnste of ashes. The six large structure, which formed tho Court of Honor were burned by ineettdiaries yesterday evening. The buildings destroyed were tin Terminal station, Administration. Manufactures', Electricity, Machinery hall and the Agricultural building. The Art gallery, which has been re-christened tho Field Columbian museum, and the Government building were saved, together witli the minor buildings south of .Machinery hall and the Agricultural building The ttre started almost simultane ously at three points, so selected as to afford the best possible opportunity for tho spread of the Humes. In each of these places, on the second floor of the Terminal station, the southwest corner of the Mechanical Arts building and on the" southeast corner of tho .Manufactures building, a man was seen running away lroui lue grounds by passers-by or members of the gangs of wreckers who arc at work tearing down the buildings, just before the fire broke out. The first call was turned in by John Lawrence, employed at the ! lshenes building, who. while passing the terminal station at 0 o'clock, saw a man acting in a suspicious manner on the second lloor of the station, and had gone but a block when he saw Unities coming from the windows. lie ran to to the Worlds fair ttre station, northwest of Agricultural hall, but the engine had answered a call several blocks distant, and it was about twenty minutes before it readied the fire. Then it was found that, either because the mains had been tampered with by the incendiaries or the supply had been cut oil" by tho wreckers at work on the buildings, no water could be obtained, and it was necessary to stretch to Stoney avenue, 500 feet away. Help was asked from the city stations near the fair grounds, but In-fore any effective work could be done the Haines, carried by a southwest breeze, had spread to the Administration and Mining buildings, and fires had also made their appearance in tlie Manufactures and Lobernl Arts buildings.' The structures, built largely of staff and wood, burned very rapidly, and within two hours the work of destruction was almost complete. At .S:'.'.ri the roof of the immense Agricultural building fell in with a resounding crash that was heard for blocks. The news of the fire had spread to the city, and by 0 o'clock thousands of people had made their way to the fair grounds and far into tlie night all the southbound cable and elevated cars wore packed. 'The only loss of life in connection with the tire occurred at about 7:.'l0 o'elook lietween the Mining and Electricity buildings. These buildings were connected by a spacious subway, used last summer as a conduit for tlie intricate system of electric light and power wires that connected tlie vari otis buildings. A group of spectators was standing directly over this tunnel at about 7:'0 when its roof caved in and two men, Edward Anderson and Edgar J. Hassett, were precipitated into the fierv furnace below. Anderson, who resided at Forty-llrst street aud Evans avenue, and was employed as n book-keeper, was rescued. Hassctt, a policeman, is seriously burned about the limbs und lower part of the body. Transportation building was badly fcorehed. but the firemen, by concen trating more than half of their avail able force on this work succeeded m stopping the spread of the fire in that direction. The conditions were favorable to the rapid spread of the lire northward from the 'Transportation building to the Horticultural and Women s build ings and then to the crowded portion of the grounds, occupied by the various state buildings in the north end. The Transportation building is northwest from the Mines and Mining building und the southwest wind kept the space clear so that the firemen were not impeded in their work At midnight engine No. lilnnd five of the crew ure missing, und it is reported that they hnve been burned to death. Hook and ladder Xo. H und all the members of the company are also missing. 'The people who had come from distant parts to view tlie terribly grand scene and had taken positions on the movable sidewalk which extended out into the lake oT the Casino and peristyle had a narrow escape from being hurtled to deatli or choosing; death by drowning. When the lire caught in that direction they stayed too long, and finally had to be rescued from their perilous position by boats. Five thoinanil dollars' worth of hooks and papers, bought at the fair by D. C. McCleanhan. of Chicago, and stored in the Philadelphia cafe, were destroyed in tho hunting of the cafe.
