J. W. BEATTY. Secretary
We are Informed by Mr. A. G. Harper, of
Kane City, thai a portion of the statements
made by our Ailnnisgoozeltim correspond
eot, published yesterday, are without fouo
dalion. Mr. II. stales the case In Ibis wise:
Tb meetlog at Bynd Farm delegated Mr.
Amos Schrum and Cspt. Oliver, a commit
tee for the lower district of Cherry tree Run,
and Mr. Richard Dempesy end Mr. Barrett,
for the upper district, lo wsit upon Ibe pro
ducers and solicit tbom to join the shutting
dowa movement. That in accordance
wltb the wishes of Ibe meeting said com
mittee waited upon tb several operators
and slated the case lo them in a gentleman
iy manner, and thai no compulsion whit
ever was used on the part of said commit
tee, and if anything of the sort occurred it
was done by irresponsible persons and met
with tb entire disapprobation of the com
mittee. Mr. Harper thinks It was well that the
gentlemen alluded to In the communication
were present to retrain the crowd, other
wise much property might possibly have
been destroyed.
We will here add that at the lime the
communication appeared, the names of the
commutes were unknown to us. Since we
have learned that the individual alluded to
was our friend, Mr. Amos Scbrtim, of Alie
magoozslom, who we do not oredil capable
of doing injustice lo sny person. We have
known bim too long lo believe be would
stoop to sucb ''ways tbal are dark and
tricks that are vain." '
We learn tbat a man was killed on Ibe
special train whloh ran from TitiiBviile to

oar conversing wltb other parries, when a
sudden jerk of Ibe cars threw bis bead batk
breaking bis neck and killing bim Instantly
Tb unfortunate man resided at Corry. '
Tb question whether Captain Cotvoc-
orevses committed suicide or was murdered

vllle, last evening, was composed of twenty
two cars, all of which were well filled with

estimated tbat as high a 2,000 people wore
on tb train.

We know ol no words which will Oonvey

rebuilding Hie CI17 than to say tbat, begin
ning on April 15. 1S72. and coding Di-cem-b

200 working days, and each day of eight
hours, there will be completed one brick,

Iron lour to six stories high, for each hour
of that time. In oti.er wnr.lt, Itir timidities
of that size, and character completed, snd
that will be completed by December 1, will
average one lor encb sixty minutes of 200
days of eight hours each.
This estimate, which will fall below trie
actual fact, does nut Include Ibe many stone
brick, iron and wooden buildings built out
side of Ibo burnt district, and whlsh alone
equal the ordinary new buildings put up in
Cbicago aunually. There is no precedent
In the world's history of mob. a growth; 00

Tb siatemenl will sound extraordinary
tbal, for seven months in 1872 beginning
tbe first day the frost was out of th ground
there was built and completed lo tbe
burnt district of Chicago a brick, stooe or
iron warehouse every bour of each working
day io tbat time.
Tba extraordinary achievement la re
building Cbicago is uot cuunied to the oum
ber of new buildings, butapplies equally to
tbeir size and tbeir superiority io cunstiuo

while lour stories was the general belgbtof
business blocks al Ibat lime, tbe present
buildings, as a general thing, are at least
one story higher, thus adding ooe-Bftb 10
tbe warehouse capacity. While tbe brick
structures will bear a large proportion to
Ibe whole Climber of new edifices, tbe pro
portion of stooe fronts bas .largely increas
edthat material superseding, In many
oases, Ibe Iron fronts. Another peculiarity
of tbe new buildings Is tbe greatly increas
ed Ibe number ot double and treble stores,
that is, stores having filfy and seventy-five
feel, and, lo many Cuset, on hundred lest

Outside of tbe burnt district there have
been erected dwellings for this Increased
populatloo, together with the local (lores
and warehouses required for the Increased
retail trade. The whole city bar pnt on
activity, aud go where one will, be will
meet tbe surprising evidences of that In

dubtablu evidences ol tbe permanent pros
