the exposition grounds was reached.
The fire had been burning less than
an hoar when a thunderous crash of
falling timber and a tremendous shout
went up from the crowd announcing
the collapse of the peristyle A mo
ment later another terrific yell from
the crowd told that the liberal art*
building had caught fire, and that
the whole exposition was threatened.
A dramatic incident marked the
destruction of the peristyle. One of
the ladders bearing np a group of fire
men fell with the columns and one of
the heroic fire fighters went down tc
death, while a number of others suf-
fered injuries more or lees severe. Th*
iky was livid, brilliant at this time
with falling sparks, many of which
tell away to the north, showering the
•oofs of the art palace, women’s build-
ing and the various state structure*
with fire.
Shortly after 11 o'clock, four firemen
were caught beneath a crash of falling
timbers jnst outside the manufactures
building. Streams of water were in

names could not be ascertained by the
chief, but it is said all of the men were
unconscious when rescued and that two
of them are fatally injured.
