Chicago, Aug. 5—Seven, and possi-
bly eight, lives were lost in an explo-
sion which took place this evening
during a fire lu the Northwestern
Grata Elevator at Oook and West
Water streets. Three of tbe dead are
fireman. Tha boiy of another Uremia
Is thought to be burned In the rains
of the elevator and thraa people were
blown Into the Coloago river. Frcm
the force with which tha explosion
swept the spot on whloh they were
standing, they oertalnly must have
been Instantly killed. Either the
b irsting of a boiler or the explosion of
m II dirt oansed the awful havoo
Three firemen were killed by the fall
Ing walls of the elevator. Dozens of
firemen and passersby were more or
Ins cut and bruised by glass and flying
debris.
The origin of the blsza Is believed to
have been in the vlolnltyof the bolter
house. Granulated dust, dry and in-
ti .mmable as gun powder, that has
been piling up for years, formed ready
means for tha fire. It spread with
g'eat rapidity and thou oama a terrific
explosion, completing the work of
B lattering fire throughout the entire
structure.
Just as the firemen were getting fa
to position for advantageous work and
nearly all tba members of the engine
company No. 3 were mounting ladders
and bringing lines of hose to place cu
tha Interior from upper windows, there
came a rosr that ooald be heard for
half a mile, the roof raised high In the
air and the walls cams down with a
crash.
The force of the explosion was so
great the eastern wall was hurled Into
the river, the western wall tumbled
down on the beads of nnfortauate
men below, and the roof torn into
many fragments end distributed for
blocks around. Every window In the
vtolulty of the elevator was shattered
by the concussion, d< zone of perauus
were stuck by Hying debris, aud sev-
eral small fires resulted, lu addition
to these whloh were already In flames
The sxploefon s'uuncd for a moment
tha police and firemen, but they quick
iy rallied to help time who had bean
hurt.
Tbe fire was most d ffloult to control
as the elevator was surrounded by a
number of small frame buildings which
were continually oatohlng fire. The
total loss Is estimated at 1300,000,
whloh Is fully Insured.
