Tlio Demoimtie majority of 1,303,
U pleasant to reflect over, and makes
us feel proud of our noble little county.
Our majority is greater thnn ever ho

That wo hnvo mouscr und guerrilla

is equally evident ; but disgracing
themselves is about all the harm they
accoinplinhed. We shall bo more spo-t-iliu

State Legislature from Philadelphia,
is one of llio Democralio Congressmen

majority over his Iladical opponent is
nearly 4,000.
Moving Again. "The government"
was ut homo a few days last week, hut
Saturday and Sunday it spent in Dos
ton, trying to reconcile Senator Sum

claro for Grant for re-election, he has
gone thither to seo what is tlio mntlcr.

which is a gain of threo members, und

AniiiTio.NAL HuKitoii. Scores of'
dead bodies nro found in tho cellars
which aro being cleaned out in tho
burned districts in Chicago. During
tho cxcitomiMit many families became
sepcrulcd, nnd children, ns they sup
posed, lost in tho fleeing crowd, uro
now being exluiuicd from among the
debris in tho cellars. Tho deaths will
bo far larger than nl first anticipated
I.VNURANCE Losses. Tho Chicago
fire has mudo n slir among the lire
insurance companies throughout the
coutilry. Tho losses of Aetnu, of
Hartford, Connaetieiit, is set down at
four millions of dollars, nnd that of tho
JIoiiim, New York, nt thrco million.
Those two nro by far tho lieuviesl
losers. Quito a number' of the other
companies hnvo closed their doors,
somo of which will recover. But wo
ouspect thiil many of them nro render
ed bankrupt, from tho fact Ihnt they
hud no bona fule capital heforo tho
Jire occurred.
Temi'kranci Scattering. Spnnglor
nnd Wheeler, llio Tompornnco candi
dates for Auditor and Surveyor (leiio
ral, received quite u respectable vote
In some of the counties. In this coun
ty but four votes were polled for
them ono in Clearfield nnd threo in
liurnsido. Thocrusodo niado through
this county lust summer by liev.
Coombo, proved a fail uro. Instead of
reducing tho Democratic majority,
(which was tho design, rot temper
ance,) his efforts increased it. Wo
hope tho reverend gentleman will now
leave llio temperance lield nnd turn
his nitration to mprals in his own city
Hill Mann k Co. in particular.
At UoMr. It is evident that "llio
government" bus got hack lo Yu.h

more or (ess than la parry tho dulo
gales fiom thnl Slate by forto nnd

Prom our exchanges wo cull llio fol
lowing interesting incidents!
'1 he tire is out, thanks to tho ruin,
having been already under control in
all directions because it has exhausted
its fury, Not a bank Is left standing,
nor a public hiiililnii;, nor n newspaper
office. In fuel, hurdly a business house
of utiy sort remains. Pive hundred of
llio largest business blocks in tho city
nro in ushes ; three lo five square miles
nro burnt over, and aro now smoking
like n bnllled lophcl. It is already
known that twenty or thirty persons
have poimhcd in the ruins of their
homes. Pour women woro burned in
tho Arrado block A thief was suflo
cated und burned while stenliug from
a jewelry store Plundering'wiis pros
ecuted will) a lawlessness nevor before
witnessed and when, pilferers wore
eiiughl in tho net tho c (liners were
compelled to relenso them, for tho jail
was burned. Tho streets remind ono
of the streets of I'rcdricksbtirg iil'ler
tho balllo, presenting every phase of
tlio Oivouiio. l saw a strong man sit
ting upon ii waysido box, weeping like
a child, bis wile, meanwhile, cheerily
boiling cofi'eo with somo bits of tin
unlaid Nicholson pavement, nnd his
children playing hiilo nnd seek among
tho enst-out wares.
Certainly there must hnvo boon great
loss of life. One flreiiiuii declares that
threo families were surrounded nnd
burnt to death in tho block bounded
by Adnms, Juckson, Canal and Water
streets. Wo saw groups otjill classes
of people in tho sircol, somo hulless,
coalless, barefoot, and shivering.
They where shelterless, homeless nnd
poverty stricken und brofion hearted.
Tlio agony of mind in somo cases,
whero relatives woro searching hope
les-dy for missing ones, was pitublo to
witness. Ho one saved anything.
There was no chnnio. We throw
trunks in the street, but there wo hud
to leuvo thoin."
A gentleman who nrrivod in Now
York, with others from Chicago, says:
"Our eyes seemed rivited so that we
could not withdraw them. There
wero miles of fire. mountains of
flames, waves of light, flashes, clouds,
brilliant scintillations. With the aid
of glasses we could seo the streets
thronged with people flying for their
lives. Children wero carried, scream
ing with terror, women wore shriek
ing, men were shouting, und nil run
ning. We saw somo old and sick and
helpless enmed on stretchers; somo
nppurently demented or stupefied woro
dragged along. Closo lo their heels,
in hoi pursuit, come the belching roar
ing nnd crac'cliiig flumes. In somo
places thoy actually advanced as fust
us n man could run. The most awful
of nil was the thunderous roar that
seemed to roll upward and outward
from tho centre of tho hugn holocaust.
Now thero would bo a report like llio
boom of distant guns, uguin cumo a
snapping like the ruttlo of musketry.
Hordes rushed liko muridocs through
thuslreets. Onesplendid team,nltuch
cd lo a couch, run over tho Van Huron
bridge, which had been charred and
weakened. Just us tho mud horses
hud passed tho centro it gavo way,
and ihey plunged down through t lie
luriod u'aro into tlio scarlet river bo
low. There wero till sort of scenes
happening somo horrible, others ri
diculous. Hero nnd there, when some
lull building been mo sheeten in flame,
iho walls would weaken nnd waver
liko India rubber. It was wonderful
how Ihey sometimes swayed almost
across the street und then fell with a
loud crush ; then a momentary dark
ncss, and afterward fresh glares of
light lrom somo nowly kindled nro,
Even thoso streets liiul wero paved
with wooden patents wero masses of
live coals.
The mnssivo grnnito slabs were
cracked into thousands of pieces. All
this timo tho heat was very great.
liy nnd by it grow so intense that no
ono could stand within blocks of
the place. Over the roofs came
gusts of hot nir, sometimes almost
strong enough lo throw ono olf his
feet. Our shoes wero parched, llio lin
roof was hot und we were forced down
below. Tho greatost sight was to no
tieo how the flames seemed to engulf
tlio larger und more lofty Mansard
roofs. They went liko paper. Tho
hotel was crowded. All wero excited
and fearful. Every moment tho ro
ports camo that the fire was nearinn
us, nnd finally we know wo could not
remain longer, hscupo was tho onlv
thought. At midnight llio flaming
host crossed tho Adams Blrcct bridge,
All tho shipping thai had not been rn
moved wus consumed. The tur nnd
other iiiflatnmnhlo stulT maJo an in
teuso light, and llio heat tun bo im
ngiuod from tho clouds of steam that
cumo up from tho river. Iho kero
seno nil stores made an awful yet su
blime spectacle, ns tho flames seemed
to penetruto the very clouds. The
hugo iron reservoir nt the gas works
exploded with tremendous lorco und
sound, demolishing several adjacent
buildings.
Everybody seemed demoralized.
I he very curlh seemed gaping out firo
flamo nnd smoke, as though tho world
itself was to bo swallowed up in tho
conflagration. Tho rush from tho
Tremonl House when llio word was
given, was akin to a pauio. Thostair
ways were choked, and us tho smoke
from the approaching liro cumo in
pairs through the windows, tho situu
lion soumoil irighiful.
In Ihreo cases persons Jumped from
the windows nnd two children woro
lied up in beds nnd thrown from tho
fourth story window, and lauded on
the piivoniont uninjured. A Mr. Jams
had a look on leg lrom springing from
llio second story window, and otbors
wero bruised from the snmo cuuso.
Wo secured a stage and drovo toward
tho surburbs, hoping to get away on
somo extra train. I ho Tiorsc3 wore
almost ungovornablo from fright.
Some of tho blocks were iinpnssublo,
being filled with ruins. Pinallv wo
reached a train thut was just boing
dispatched direct for holp, and by tho
kindness of tho condiiclor wo were
taken ulong. Wo heard of several
deaths and many being injured.
A meeting of the citizens was held,
and resolutions passed culling for nn
extra sesion of tho Legislature. Tho
directors of the Chamber of Commorco
met und resolved to rebuild at once.
Tho Internal liuvciiue ofllco, which
was totally destroyed, contained over
ono million dollars worth or revenue
stamps.
Tho Evening Journal nt out half a
sheet Inst night, and tho others Will
follow nt once.
Tho rumors of the condition of tho
insurance companies are conflicting
and nothing can bo known definitely
until tho safes are exnminrd. The
mail nrrangemoiils and bants will bo

Tho work of rebuilding will not bo

1I1HTOIIY Of TIIK VIHK.
The following report of tho firo and
its incidents bus been especially made
for Iho Associated Press by those
who witnessed und fought the flumes
throughout !
Lnto on Sunday night a boy wont
inlo it stable on Do Kovun street, near
the river, on the west aide, to milk u
cow, currying with him a kerosene
lump. 1 Ins wan kicked over by tho
cow, and tho burning fluid was scat
tered among iho straw. Ibis wus tho
beginning ot tho great tiro. A single
extinguisher on tho ground, or iho
active work of tho polico in tearing
down one or two siiuuiics, would have
prevented the sprouding of the Humes,
but tho engines were wailed for, und
when they arrived, tho fireinon, stnpo
fled by their exertions, at llio first tire,
on Saturdy night, worked slowly and
clumsily, and their e Hulls woro una
vailing.
Tho wind was from tho southwest,
blew n galo, und tho flames shot rnp.
idly from house to house, and from
board-yard to bourd-yurd, and mean
while had crossed tho river nortli of
Twelfth street to the south sido, nnd
mndo for brick and Mono business
blocks, railroad freight depots, and
manufacturing establishments.
Tho wind, blowing a stilt' gale, hnd
possession of tho flames, und tho beau
tiful buildings of Chicago's glory lay
beforo llieni. Harrison, Van liuren,
Adam", Monroe, and Madison st roots
were soon reached, nnd llio interven
ing blocks trom the river to Dearborn
slreot, on Easlbridgo street, wore con
sumed. Threo quarters of n mile of brick
blocks woro consumed us if by intlgio.
It being Sunday, tho proprietors und
employees wero nl homo, utterly un
conscious of whnt was transpiring.
Thoso who saw the flames supposed it
was llio remains of Saturday night's
firo, and, having confidence in tho tiro
depart inonl, were unconcerned, but
between 11 and 12 o'clock a rumor got
ubrond that tho fire wus in tho busi
ncss portion of tho city, and llio pco
plo coinmonced moving. Horses wero
brought into requisition lo tako pro
prietors nnd others to tho conflagra
tion, and what n scene met their gazu 1
Tho Board of'Trude, Court house, Wos
tern Union Telegraph, and Associated
Press Olllcos, and hundreds of other
buildingss, were nil in flumes.
The air was filled with live coals,
which wero hurled to tho north and
oast, ii besom of destruction. Tho en
giiics wero powerless for suving, and
all that could bo dono wns blow np
buililihg, but this availed liltlo.
Tho walls melted sway and the very
bricks wero consumed. Tho wooden
pavements took fire, making a contin
uous shoot, of flamo two miles long by
a mile wide, and no human being
could possibly survive ninny minutes.
Block alter block fell, and llio red-hot
coals shot higher and higher unlil the
north sido was a vast sheet of flamo
from tho river to llio luko. At ono
lime it so hummed tlio pcoplo that it
wns expected that thousands must
perish.
Ono block in nil tho vast business
section remained at daylight, viz : tho
Tribune block. The Weston House
nnd Monroe block, in Dearborn street,
It ad burned, und thoso who bud fought
tho flames hero thought nl least ibis
block could be saved, lint there was
a change of llio wind, and tlio flumes
reached Wiibush und Stulo streets und
Michigan nvenuo. Soon McVicker's
Theatre caught firo, and in a few in in
ulcBtho Tribune building was in flumes,
und nl iho lust moment the sleeping
men were aroused nnd ic&cucd trom
the flames.
By 10 A. M. tho remaining block
was in ashes Now was to be seen the
most remarkable sight ever beheld in
this or nny other country. There
wero from 60,000 to 70.II0U men, wo
men, und children fleeing by every
uviiilablestieet and ulley, to tlio south
ward nnd westwnid, ultcmpting to
save their clothing nnd their lives.
It is fearful to think of the loss of
life. It is conjectured, with good
cause, that Hourly fivo hundred people
naru ul-oii uuriieu iu ucuiu, iioean
four men outer njmrning building, and
in a moment they wsro overwhelmed
by n falling wall. Thero was n crowd
of men around iho corner of n build
ing trying to savo somo proporty
when the wall yielding, some ol them
were buried beneath it. About twelvo
or fifteen men, women and children.
rushed into llio building of tho Histo
ricul Society, n fire-proof building, (or
snlety. In a tew minutes the numes
burst up, and they burned to death.
Among thoso who look refugo in
this building wns tho vencriiblo Uol
Samuel Stono, aged 80 years, for
long timo connocled with the society,
Also, John 11 Gerard and wife, and
Mmo. Depelgrovo, a noted teacher of
niusio. Ii is feared that Dr. Peat and
family were also burned, ns they wore
in Iho building and hnvo not been
seen. Mrs. lvlsoll, whose husband
was murdered last week, and who was
siiflviing from illness, was carried
uwuy for protection to a building which
was uflerwnrds burned, nnd it is feared
she nlso perished.
All the hooks nnd papers of the
Historical Society, including Iho orig
i ii it 1 copy of the famous emancipulion
proclamation of President Lincoln, for
which the Society paid 8L'S,0UU, wore
destroyed.
It is feared that a largo number of
children, Inmates or too Lulhoho Or
plum Arylum on Slutoslrcct, were also
burned, ns inuny of them are missing.
A father lushed up stairs to carry
ins children nwny, when ha wns over
taken by Iho flumps and perished with
them. Tho mother was nflorwnrds
seen on tho streets n raving mnniao,
In the same neighborhood n family of
fivo persons 'perished. Tho list of
such Casualties is very long, and can
only bo fully vcrifled after tho smoke
shall have cleared away. 1 hero aro
hundreds of families on that side who
saved no clothing, but barely llicir
lives. Among thoso is the family ol
Perry Smith, formerly President of
tho Nortli western Jtailroad Company
Jir.BiONEn and Ri-ELKCTKn. A grcnt
clamor has for yeius been kept up by
outsiders against Messrs. Jay Gould
snd James Fisk, Jr., President nnd
Vico President of tho Now York and
Erio Railroad. On tho 0lh loth gen
tlomnn, in ordor to lest tho soiilimcnt
of the stock holders, Undured their
resignation. Put-, nt Iho regular moct
Ing pflbc stockholders, thp next day,
Ihey wore unanimously re elected to
tho snme position, The votes cast
represented slock to over thirty three
millioni of dollars. This unanimous
cxprejsjou in fuvor of lbs present
management of the road on tho part
of tho stockholders will go fur to allay
the publio clamor faiird by psillcs

Forestvillo.
A Bteanier which left Port Huron
lust night for the relief of the suffer
ers, returned this morning with about
forty men, women und children, fivo
of whom uro severely bnrnod. The
revenue cutler Pessonden, which start
ed for Port Austria, picked up a sail

together with his family and eighteen
or twenty others, who had. escaped

Fivo thousand dollars was subscribed
to night for tho relief of tho sufferers
of Ibis Slato.
The light rnin of yesterday seems to
have greatly abated tho fires through

worst is passed. Thero is .

more or less from fire, and iho loss
will amount to hundreds of thousands
of dollars. Tho damngo to the pino
land is incalculable. Saginaw City
only escaped destruction through the
determined efforts of her cilitens, who
fought tho fire back. The town ol
Bridgeport wus only saved from des
truction by n shower of rnin yesterday
morning. Charles Chandler's burns,
on his farm near Lansing, were burned
yesterday, together wilh severul fine
horses.

Hundreds of pcoplo wore driven by

"This has been put lo the test be

"Two or threo hundred dollurs."
Tho New York Sun says: Thoso
are interesting revelations Since the
udvent of iho present Administration
the business of appointing consuls has
been in tlio lianas ot ltunckolt Davis,
Gen. Grant's Assistant Secretary of

Legislature ol Massachusetts to have

bis constituents nnd betray his clients
w hen he wns counsel nnd director of
tho Erie liuilway Company, threo or
four years ugo. If ho requires only

consul, his demands nro certainly very
modcruto. Such "nrosenls" aro alto
