GERMAN ODD FELLOWS.—The German Fellows, to the number of more than a hundred—the members of four different lodges—turned out on a street parade yesterday fore-noon, headed by a band of music, preparatory to the dedication of their new “Teutonia Hall.” The ceremonies at the lodge room were of the usual character, and peculiar to the brethren of the mystic tie.
Chicago Tribune, September 30, 1863
FIRE,—The alarm of fire about seven o clock last evening was occasioned by the the explosion of a barrel of turpentine, at the wholesale liquor store of Herman Baer, 233 Randolph street. A Mr. Jacob Kœmffer, who is employed as rectifiler by Mr. Baer, was busy in the second story of the establishment, where the rectifying process is carried on. By some accident he approached the light too near to the turpentine, when the whole barrel exploded and he was enveloped in fame. He ran down stairs into a clothing store which opens on the street below, when the occupants speedily extinguished the flames, not however, before he was seriously burnt on his face’ neck, arms and shoulders. His injuries, however, are not supposed to be fatal. The alarm bells rung, and the fire was speedily extinguished.
