NALF MILLION LOSS FROM SECOND FIRE CHICAGO, Dec, 31. -A fire which de- stroyed $500,000 worth of property in West Van Buren street today, started on the second floor of the seven-story brick building occuple dby the Cash Buyers' Union. The building was en- tirely destroyed. Spreading rapidly, the fire soon as- sumed large proportions, A second alarm was sent in, closely followed by a series of extra calls for additional men and apparatus. When the fire penetrated to the adjoining bullding, occupled by the Zeno Manufacturing Company, a four-story structure, the firemen were ordered to the foofs of ad- jacent buildings to fight the fiames. Then the flames, cracking the bric walls of the building, spread to 160-2 West Van Buren street, causing heavy damage to the Peninsular Stove Com- zany, which firm occupled, the seven core. FIREMEN'S NARROW ESCAPE. Bulldings blocks away caught fire from sparks, With a detonation that was beard for squares an explosion in the basement of the Cash Buyers' Union builldine@ tore up the street and sidewalks, throwing firemen Into the air and tearing down live wires of the Van Buren atreet electric car line. Por. tunately none of the firemen were ins Jured - Crushing down through the frail towering walls of the Peninsular Stove Compiny and those of thr Cash Huy» ers' Union tottered and collapsed. A series of small explosions followed the fall of the walls. A two-story frame dwelling at West Van- Ruren treet. occupled as a rooming house walls. The inmater had been awakened horses were sgved. +4+4+++++++++++++++ ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
