THE LEDGER BURNED OUT.
Disastrous Blaze in George W. Childs’
Big Newspaper Office.
The Public Ledger building, a mas¬
sive six-story, brown stone front struc
ture on the southwest corner of Sixth
and Chestnut streets, Philadelphia, was the
damaged by fire Tuesday night to
amount of $200,000, of which $150,000
was sustained .by ,The Ledger Ledger and $50,
000 by the tenants. The insu¬
rance aggregates $240,000—$160,000- on
the building and $80,000 on the con¬
tents. The other occupants are be¬
lieved to he fully insured, The collec
tion of curios and plate in the office of
Mr. Childs, The -Ledger’s owner and
publisher, inestimable in value, was saved.
Damage to building $100,000. About
half the building was gutted by fire and
water. The flames were confined to the
fourih floor and all above and portions
below were flooded. The fire was twice
extinguished but broke out a third time
and gained fearful headway.
FLIGHT OF THE PRINTERS.
The flames soon enveloped the the compos¬
ing room. The compositors, to num¬
ber of 140, hurriedly retreated down
stairs and escaped safely. Soon aftep
the fire started there was a sharp explo¬
sion, the cause of which is uuknowo,
and Business Manager Joel Cook and a
nurnoer of the clerks were forced to the
street by the concussion. The facilities
of every printing office in the city were
offered to Mr. Childs, and after William
M. Singcrly, president of The Record
Publishing Company, had personally offer
tendered the use of his further, plant, the
was accepted, and, till arrange¬
ments, The Ledger will be issued from
the Record office.
Mr. Childs and A. J. Drexel were wit¬
nesses of the fire and personally noted
the efficiency of the Are department.
They expressed their appreciation by
telling Director Butler, of tbe depart¬
ment of public safety, that a check for
$5,000 would be sent him to be used at
his discretion for the benefit of tbe fire¬
men.
POISONED THE FOOD.
Reported Attempt to Exterminate Non
Union Workmen at Homestead.
The Pittsburg, Pa., Sunday papers
published a startling story of a conspira¬
cy to poison the non-union men at Car¬
negie’s steel plant, at Homestead, and as
a result it is alleged several persons lost
their livts, while scores are suffering from
the effect of some poisonous drug. The
developments so far made, it is said, im¬
plicate the members of the advisory com¬
mittee. the Amalgated Association and
officers of other labor organizations.
Nine or mere persons are under ar¬
rest, ostensibly on less serious charges,
but really for the purpose of averting
suspicion until the others in the alleged
conspiracy could be apprehended. It is
stated the chief cook inBide tbe Home¬
stead mills confessed to having placed
poison in the food prepared the for _ insti¬ non
union men; that he did so at
gation of the strikers’ committees, and
that he was also under pay from them as
well as from the Carnegie company. If
he caused death and sickness sufficient
to frighten the non-union men from the
mill and compel the closing of tbe mill
he said he was to receive $5,000.
