EXPLOSION.
There was a terrific boiler explosion
on Tuesday 21st, at noon, at Jacob
M’Cool’s sawmill, back of Woodward.
The mill was completely wrecked, and
pieces of the boiler were thrown half a
mile. There were two men in the mill,
at the time, oneof whom was l
Fultz, and both escaped without injury,
which miraculous amid

IMPRESSIONS OF THE WEST,
LETTER NO. 2
The erops of Indiana, so far as seen,
were notjdisheartening, The object of
Chi-
cago was Lake Michigan. At first sight,
it makes one think of a mountain in the
distance. Indeed, most of our party
thought it was a mountain in the dis
tance, On nearer approach, the white
crested waves could be seen chasing each
other under the impulse of a stirring
breeze, and breaking into frothy noth-
ingness upon the beach. I longed for a
dip in its bottle green waters, but had
learned earlier in my youth, that discre-
tion in this matter, 18 the better part of
valor. So I sat quietly in the car, and in
imagination transported myself across
the intervening green to the lake and
thus enjoyed its waters, From a birds
eye-view of the city of Chicago, 1 was
impressed with its extent and thrift, Of
the grain elevators, 1 got a very close
view along the Chicago River, These
structures are simply immense, and they
are building new ones of no less capacity.
Millions of bushels can be stored in
buildings. Some of the public
buildings seen at cloee range, were elev-
en stories high, and the thought of escape
from those upper rooms in case ¥of fire,
made my heart grow sick in the impossi-
ble prospect. I stood on the drawbridge
crossing the Chicago river, and bad poin- |
to me the course of t dreadful |
conflagration in 187 buildings
were thea destroyed, 08,860 people ren-
lered homeless, 7 frontage of
streets was burned over, The total loss
has been estimated fit S104 (0 O00, of
which $53,000,000 represented the value
