THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1873. THE ELEVATOR FIRE. Further Particulars of tho Destruction of the Fulton Elovator. About 120,000 Bushels of Corn and 5,000 Bushels of Outs Ruined. The Building a Complete Wreck---Its Eventful History.

Total Loss on Elevator and Contouts About $100,000. The burning of tho Fulton Elovator at 3 o'clock yestorday morning was made publio only through THE TRIBUNE, thongh undoubtodly our alower contomporaries will And out, to-day or tomorrow, that it happonod. This elevator was built by Mann to Scott, in 1852. It boon the depository for years of an immonso amount of proporty. Dostruction by fro BODIE to bo tho fate of all olevatore, and this ono was threatoned in 1859, during the Unitod Staton Fair, hold hero in Octobor of that year.

Several blocks in the vicinity wore swept and tho oupola of the olevator was ignited burning brands falling upon it. Thoro wore but three stoam-onginos of modorate capaolty in the city, and nono of thom could throw a stream of water to tho height of the cupola. It fortunatoly happenod that thoro was on oxhibition at tho fair nOW alylo of ongino from Philadelphia, it having boon brought out bore by the company who ran it to compote for 8 premium. Tho Philadelphia boys trotted out their apparatue, which throw a stroam on tho burning roof, and saved tho structuro. For this servico Mona Scott handsomoly rewarded thom with a oheck for $1,000.

Of courso, the building has had many narrow escapes, the last one being three weeks ago last Saturday, whon fire was discovered in the lower part of the building. An ongino near by put it out boforo serious damage was done. Muon Scott continued to control this olovator up to tho Limo of their bankruptey, which occurred last year. It was one of the famous Blovator combination controlled by that firm. They owned the wholo of this house, threefourths of the Northwestorn, of the Union, and tho samo proportion of tho Olty Elovator.

A day or two after Munn Boott failed, Goorge Armour Co. purchased their intorost in the four clovators, paying therefor, it is understood, but 810, at the same limo, however, assuming all labilities for grain belonging to other partios. Munn Scott had outstanding at the timo of the sale rocoipts for 150,000 bushols of corn and 80,000 bushels of wheat ovor and above the quantity of grain in store. Armour Co. had to fill thoso roceipts, at loast so thoy roportod, and tho publio had to take their word for it.

The olovator was, in the moantimo, the subject of disputa in tho courts. In 1808, Munn Bcott having lost heavily by unlucky in grain, wore forced to mortgago their intoreet in the four establishments to Jesso Hoyt ct Now York. This mortgage had not been foreclosed, and was still hold by Hoyt Co. Their claim was prior to that of Armour Co. So the Court decided, vacating ay void the sale to Armonr and directing tho Munn de Scott Intercet in tho four olevatora to be sold at publio auction.

Tho enlo took placo last Friday, when Hoyt Co. bid in tho wholo lot for 2915,500, of which 875,000 be price of the barnod building. It was tho fourth olorator built in Chicago, and the only survivor of the four, tho othor throo havingboon destroyed by fire. Work in the elovator consed at 7 o'clock Saturday crouing, tho workmon went homo, the building remaining in chargo of the watchmon. Everything, 60 far 18 ia known, WAB all right until 2 o'clock Sunday morning, when a policoman on Randolph street bridgo discovered flames jesuing from the cupola.

He gave the alarm, and, running round to tho olevator office, told the watchman that tho institution was burning. Tho watchman vory properly come out. By this time tho onginee bogan to arrive, and, as quiotly as poseiblo, got to work. It was no uno. Tho building was old and dry, just roady to burn, and it did burn fiercely, for Deforo tho eccond alarm was turned in it was a mass of roaring flames.

The timbore craoked and snapped, the roof fell 10, the walls fell out, and the ruin complate. It took no timo to burn. Tho engines were of little use, except to save tho large amount of lumber and other inflammable property in tho neighborhood. The elevator being used exclusively for grain brought by canal, seven canal boats wore moorod at tho whart alongeido. They Were in imminent dangor of destruction.

There wore 00 tuga, so the firemen chopped the onblea and sont them adrift. Boon after, fow tugs came along and took them in charge. Tho Are illuminated tho sky, and tho reflection was soon in overy part of the city. It was a brilliant sight. Largo crowde were attractod to the scone, aud daylight found them still standing and gazing.

The ruins were visited by the curious yeatorday. The tall chimnoy atood alone and solitary, a sort of monolith commemorating the Are. The iron shaft remained whore tho machinery fell from It. The timbore wero black and charred, oud the corn lay piled ovor the timbers, and covered the baso of tho building. At tho rivor aide tho corn was out at the edge of tho wharf, showing the where a largo quantity was poured into rivor when the east wall (all.

There were 120,000 bushels of corn and 5,000 bushels of onte in the olevator. A largo quanlity of the corn can bo used for distilling parposca, This will reduce the loge Fory considerably. The value of grain destroyed will be about $00,000, and of the building about $10,000, making $100,000 in all.

The grain is owned by Board of Trade men, but, as they usually insure a certain amount of spaco by tho year, and have it tosarod all the timo, tho probability is that tho loss will fall ontiroly upon tho insurance componies. The grain was from tho river towns, the building having boen usod exclusively for discharging canal-boats, Messrs. Hoyt Co. will robuild immodiatoly on the samo site, putting up an clovator with all the modern improvementa, requiring an oxpondituro of $150,000. Thero is a mortgage of 000 on the ground, hold by Mr.

George Watson, but that will not interfere with the intondod robuilding. The building was insured for 820,000, but wo unable to aacortain tho nomes of the compaules. It was atated yostorday that a largo amount of the insurance on the grain de in the Tradore', of Chicago. THE CITY IN BRIEF.

The deconsed was a lady of taro accomplishments and lovoly charaoter, to whom life was just opening tall of rich promise. Her admirablo traits of charnotor had endearod hor to all who knew bor, and her raro musical attainmonts bad secured for bor general admiration, She was musician of more than ordinary promise, and in some departmenta bor talont was well nigh exceptional, Out off thus at tho vory threshold of what promisod to bo a long, useful, and beautiful life, her loss la moro than ordinnrily painful, both for the momorica of what ebo had boon and for tho oloquent promises of still greater accomplishmonts in tho future.

Possessed of youth, boauty, and musical genius, and surrounded by boats of friends, she had overything to live for, and which would have mado hor life beautiful to herself and those nasociated with her by family and friondly tics.

Tho accident was a natural consequenco of tho provailing habit among boys of stealing rides on tho stops of streetcars, which la oapecially common on tho ono-horso cars of the South Sido Hallway.

THAT ROBBERY, After A careful Investigation of tho robbery cano committed by the man who was arrested by tho Pinkerton Detective Agency, as reportod in THE TAIDUNE Joatorday, there soma to bo no necessity for any important correction. Tho reporter learned of the case at a very late hour, and in the hurry of the momont may havo made sOme errors of no particular consequence.

THE CORN CROP.

Second-That, on account of the rains in tho spring, and the drought of the summer, not ovor ono-half as much corn will be harvosted this year as last on the ground planted. Thoro ara a few favored localitios, isolated strips, about one-quartor of a mile wide by two or threo miles long, which will viold AB much 18 last year. But the great mass of the corn is not Alling in oar, and thousanda of acros thore aro with the stalks and leaves as yellow a8 usually after heavy frost.

Should there be an carly frost, it ie doubtfal it the crop would avorage one-third of last year's. Last week thore was a slight frost in a considorable part of the Illinous Valley. X. CHICAGO, Sept. 0, 1873.
