ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM ALL PARTS Chicago, Oct. 23. — Five men are known to have lost their lives in a fire which tonight partly destroyed the plant of the Chicago branch of tiie Glucose sugar refining company, and the list of dead will certainly be much greater than five, and may reach as high as 30. The estimates run al! the way from that number down to 10. Only one of the five men whose bodies have lieen r®-over®i lias been identi fied. The fire broke out with an explosion in the drying house, which is seven stories in height, and stands close to the main building of the plant, which is 14 stories high,. A third structure is four stories high. The two smaller buildings were destroy«! and tiie larger building was badly damaged. The fire spread after the explosion with such rapidity that it was impossible for the men in the upper stories of tiie drying house to make their eseajie, and it is the number of men believed to have lieen at work on the seventh floor that causes tiie uncertainty in tiie list of dead. Some of the employes who mad** their escajie say that there were 20 or 30 ami others say that there were not more than 10 at work when tiie tire broke out. Whatever tiie number, all are dea<l. Four men lea|>®l from the upper floors ami all are dead. The fifth in tiie list is an electrician, who is known to have entered the building, ami was then* at the time of tiie fire.
