ROASTED PORK. Wore 'Than Half of the Anrlp-Ainerlcaa Provision Company's Plant la Chicago ■ Destroyed toy Fire, Including Valuable Machinery and the Product criUiearly a Hundred Thousand Hogs—Tbmn> will Aggregate Ne irly a Million Dollars-* Thirteen Hundred Men Thrown Ont of Employment. { - Chicago, Sept 2ft.—More than onehalf el the extensive stock-yards plant and property of the Anglo-American Provision Company were destroyed by Bre yesterday. The most conservative 1 estimate of the loss is $700,000; the 1 highest nearly $1,000,000. Prior to its 1 acquisition a few months since by the English syndicate, with a stock and 1 bonded capital of $500,000, the property was owned by the Fowler Bros. Con- : siderable mystery surrounds the origin of the Are. Flames were discovered in the engine room shortly after 1 a. m., and the private fire company maintained by the Englishmen fought them for some time before calling for reinforcements from the city. Before these arrived the flames had spread to the immense packing house; thence to warehouses F and B, In the warehouse were 0,000 dressed hogs, which had been slaughtered during the past two days, while on one floor of the adjoining' warehouse there were 200,000 pounds of sausage in process of curing. , > On the other floors of this and the adjoining warehouses were stored the product of ninety thousand hogs together with an immense quantity of beef. With this matter to feed on the fire raged furiously, for hours, and althongh twenty-six of the city engines were called into requisition, it was not until late in tie afternoon that it was brought under control. At one time it was feared that the conflagration would cover a greater portion of the packinghouse district Several thousand live hogs were with difficuty saved from warehouse F. The loss proper is fully covered by insurance, but the loss resulting from the suspension of business will be enormous, as the concern has been killing from four to seven thousand hogs daily and proposed to increase the number to twelve thousand in two weeks.

The wreck was caused by the failure of Francis Keelty, operator at Black Band, to deliver orders to an eastbound freight side-tracking it at that station until after the wost-faound freight passed. The two trains collided on a sharp curve just outside of a dense wood, and neither engineer saw the other train until within’ a few yards of it. The engineer and fireman on the east-hound train jumped, the latter escaping uninjured, but the former, John Kemp, of Newark, had a leg cut off near bis body, and is not expected to live. The engineer andjireman of tho west-bound train were instantly-killed, the former being terribly mangled Ky the. splintered cars which were rained into the tender. His blood and brains were scattered over the ground for several feet around. The fireman was caught between the engine and tender and. crushed to a pulp. When taken ou* he was roasted by the fire from the engines. The list of killed is as follows: John Buckingham, engineer; Newark, O. John Cochran; residence unknown. Benjamin Smart, brakeman; Gratiot, Glenn Bash, Zanesville, O. Thos. McCreary, Newark; O. George W. Stoneburner, Zanesville, a Wm. Firestone, fireman; Newark, O. One unknown. The dead were removed to an empty car as fast as recovered and taken to Newark for preparation for burial. A large force of men were at work all day yesterday clearing tho track c. the debris. Twenty-three loaded cars were completely demolished, and it took all day Sunday to get the track clear. The operator fled as soon as he learned the awful result of his carelessness, and has not yet been apprehended. TRAIN WRECKERS. Persistent Train .Wreckers and Their Work at Maximo, O. Alliance, O., Sept 29.—Another cowardly attempt was made Saturday atMaxiiqo, near here, to wreck the limited going west Ono rail had been dragged partly across the track, and others were ready. A two-horse farm wagon had also been placed on tho track. A freight came along unexpectedly and surprised the wreckers before they had succeeded In their purpose, and knocked the wagon into kindling wood. The rail was pushed ahead of the engine and off the track. This is the fourth attempt of the kind at this place. Those implicated in the three former attempts are in the penitentiary. f Secretary Blaine Wanted at Atlanta. New York, Sept 28.—Hon. James G.
