WE have good authority for saying that in
case the nomination for Congress, next year, is
conceded to this county, C. W. Cooper, Esq.,
Cashier of the Allentown National Bank, will be
a' candidate for nomination on the Democratic
taitet. We hare also heard the name of Col. M.
H. Horn, Cashier of the Catasanqua National
Hank, mentioned In this connection, but It Is not
known whether Col. Horn would consent to have
his name used or not.
THE Norristown Daily Herald comes to us
enlarged, with a new head and new dress. It
does not present an improved appearance because
the Herald heretofore wan one of the handsome-t

head and regret to see It supplanted by a text. Mr.
Wills' ideas of what a newspaper should be In ap
pearance as well na contents, are not surpassed by
those of any other journalist In the State, but we
think he has made a mistake In changing the style
of the head.
MEANNESS.—A. man in the First Ward
lost a couple of pigs and while hunting for them
met a friend, who ho asked whether he had seen
anything of them. " Yes," was the reply, " and
If you give me a dollar I will toll you where they
are !" The owner of the pigs thought the demand
a little steep and refused to give It, hut offered to
treat the crowd, but the other objected to this,
though he concluded to take twenty-flue cents.
The quarter was paid and the owner was shown
to his pigs, which were In the rear of the friend's
shebang.

received the following :
CLIFTON, Onio, October 9, 10,!..; o'clock.
I have, to-night, carefully examined all Chicago
insurance In the Andes Insurance Company, of
Cincinnati. We shall authorize our adjuster to
draw on us at sight for every correct chain us rap
idly as adjusted. Our losses by this great calami
ty are a very considerable figure, hut nothing to
cripple us. The hour of duly Is upon us, and we
shall meet It In the lino-bearied manner that the
occasion requires. Nevertheless I fully expect, in
addition to surmounting this serious obstacle, to
pay thg stockholders of the Andes Insurance Com
pany a comfortable dividend next July.

TEIRATRICALI3."FRITZ, OUR COCSIN Gott
aaN."—Joe Emmet will play at the opera House
in the above play, on Tuesday evening, October
24th. The play and the player are strangers to
Allentown, but Thos. Kean, of the Buffalo Courier,
recommends them in the following words, and be
knows : " The great success of Mr. Joe Emmet as
Fritz, In Charles Gayler's new play, continues
without interruption at the Academy of Music,
and his audiences Increase with each succeeding
night. Last evening the assemblage was very
large, and was liberally made up of our most fas
tidious theatre-goers. The dress circle was tilled,
as was the second circle; and the gallery-gods
were out lu countless numbers. Now, when an
author or star presents a play which affords fun
for the dress circle and the gallery alike, his pros
perity Is assured. Thu toughest problem for the
playwright Is how to please the people with culti
vated tastes without utterly Ignoring the gods, or
how to entertain the latter without Weeding the
furnter. The gamin, who does his last dime ou
• the play of the evening, and watches eagerly from
his perch near the ceiling for t e stuuning points,
Is just as sensitive in regards t his rights as Mi
lady In her silks down stairs ;land unless a re
spectable compromise Is effected, the popularity of
a play or a star is one-81,1a'. Messrs. Gayler and
Emmet bring the extremes upon common ground
for two hours and a half each evening. As a
Whole, we know of no snob combination of fun
and sensationalism on the stage. Mr. Emmet, as
Frits, Is the most perfect delineator of German
character that we have ever section our boards, or
anywhere else, for that matter. Ills dialect Is cap
ital and almost without a flaw, and his humor is
of a most positively contagious character. He
does some excellent acting In the first act, and In
the third ; but it Is'in the second act that he shines
brightest. This may very properly be termed a
screaming act, for from the beginning to the end
of it the audience are kept in an almost unbroken
uproar. Title act embraces his character Imper
sonations, and these are funny beyond description.
His song to his boy, In his third act, " 0 Bnelder!
now you Von 1" Is very neat ; anti his entire per
formance is free from those objectionable qualities
which so often mar humorous characters. Mr.
Emmet has a ringing, musical voice, a One sense
of time and tune, plenty of vitality, and not is lit
tle of the Jeffersonian caste. !Harriet scene Is fully
equal to the court scene 'ln which Solon Shingle
appears in pursuit of his " barrel of apple-saiS,"
nod, taken altogether In his specialty, we cannot
hat regard him without a rival.

sent Its contribution to Vincent L. Hulbert, Chi

anxious to ascertain the amount contributed, but
on account of the reticence which characterizes
the charities of this noble 'agitation, we were una
ble to do so. We can assure the community that
Allen Commandery has contributed with Its usual
liberality. May It have many imitators.

THO HAMBURG COAL SCFIUTES.-Mr.
Nieolls, the General Superintendent of the Read
ing Railroad, has been interviewed by the editor
of the Hamburg Press In relation to the projected
coal sehute in that borou - 411. The Superintendent
In reply to the questions states that "when the
schutes would be completed, Hamburg would ben
headquarters for many ears, and shops would be
required to repair them and build new ones,which
will give employment to many men. It is the ob
ject, of the Company to build up Hamburg, and it
is probable that It will become a railroad centre,
BICIGL! the Topton Railroad has been commenced,
thus giving a line from New Yotk for the more
direct shipment of coal front the Schuylkill re
gion.
The Press goes oil in ecstasies over the Informa
tion, and adds that since the interview,the ground
has been surveyed, and the plans are being pre
pared, the commencement of the undertaking be
ing delayed mall the return of President Gowen,
who is expected home the latter part of this
mouth.
EDITOR LIMIUU REGISTER:—We find in
last week's issue of the Democrat a gratuitous
obituary notice, Informing us that we departed
this life in Rube & Weikel's Hall about a week
❑go. We take pleasure In Informing Frank that
Yeager Post, No. 13 G. A. R., or " the poor little
fellow," has grown to be robust and vigorous and
has every prospect of surviving not only the Dem
ocrat but all our enemies. It Is true that we have
been robbed of $314.45 by Frank's bosom friend . ;
but we have still beeu abundantly able to meet all
Indebtedness promptly, and to relieve the most
pressing wants of those who applied to us for as
stdance. We have not disposed of our furniture
to raise means to pay debts, but to accept the gen
erous off:r of three comrades, of a handsomely
furnished room for meetings without rent, thus
enabling us to largely increase the charity fund.
The Post numbers sixty-five members In good
standing and has suffered but little from the enmity
of the 'Democrat. For further information con
cerning the standing of Yeager Post, we refer the
editor of the Dmmerat to Auditor General Beath,
who Is the Adjutant General of this department of
the G.:l. It. G. A. R.

of an incendiary, as no fire was used about the
building. •

Finu.--About 10 o'clock Sunday night a fire
broke oat in Thomas Barber's machine shop, lo
cated on Walnut between Second and Third ate.
The alarm was given and quickly communicated
from Individual to Individual, and a still, quiet
Sunday night rendered powerfully excited and our
city made to echo and re-echo with the news of
that much dreaded monster which has so recently
laid waste the far-famed and enterprising city of
Chicago. The alarm bell further intensified the
public mind and attracted all parties to the First
Ward as the scene of conflagration. The steam
ers aitliout delay took proper positions and only
after more than two hours of hard work did they
succeed In arresting the further progress of the
flumes and extinguishing the lire. The service
thus rendered and the building saved which oth
erwise would have been consumed were sources of
much satisfaction to our self-sacrilleing firemen.
The roof and second floor on which were many
patents were consumed. The belting belonging to
the machinery of the first floor was In a great
measure burned up. The machinery comprising
lathes principally, was not much Injured and can
soon be put to work again. Efforts hi this direc
tion are already at work. An order for belting
was given to Taylor Sr. Iheths this noon, entirely
exhausting their supply. We learn the establish
ment Is to be put In repair at once and thus in
ruuulug order. We were informed that there was
an insurance of $5OOO on the building. Sponta
neous combustion will not account for the fire,the
necessary conditions not being at hand. Public
opinion seems to Incline io the belief that It was
the work of incendiariam. A suspicious Individ
ual who was loitering around Hamilton and See
mid streets, about Si o'clock, last evening,and who
made special Inquiries as to the machine shop, its
humility, ftc„ is regarded as the Incendiary. No
estimate as :yet has been made as to the loss,
though the Insurance will more than cover the
damage. In about a week Barber At Co. will, they
think, be able to again fill their ordeal'.
NOVEL APPLICATION OF HYDRAULICS.—The
Reading Times says is very ingenious and effective
application of hydraulic power has been made at
the new foundry of the Reading Railroad Com
pany, at the corner of Seventh and Spruce streets,
which establishment was constructed under the
supervision of J. E. Wootten, Esq., Engineer of
Machinery and Assistant Superintendent of the
Road. The coal and Iron stock used in the pro
duction of castings lu the foundry is raised to the
feeding platforms of the four large cupolas, by
means of elevators impelled by hydrostatic force,
and by the same Ille4lllB a weight of about one ton
Is raised a bight of twenty feet and let full upon
the car wheels and other castings to be broken up
for remelting. These machines are situated lu the
yard of the foundry, In direct access to the rail
road tracks, and the power Is supplied by a com
pact double cylinder engine of ten horse power,
placed in the engine room, at a distance of about
one hundred and fifty feet from the most remote
of the elevators.
The principal feature of the engine Is that It Is
entirely automatic In Its action, the application of
the power being directed by a small valve at each
elevator under control of the workman. The ac
tion of the machinery may thus be checked at any
moment. In the breaking machine, when the
weight Is raised to the required bight, It is sud
denly released by a self-acting trigger, andlalls
with an Immense force upon the castings, the blow
being sufficient to break three car wheels at each
stroke. The comparative economy of this appa
ratus over the old method of raising the weights
by means of the ordinary windlass, amounts to
the having of about sixtplive cents per ton In the
expense of the operation, which, when the large
quantity of castings to be broken for remelting in
this foundry Is taken into consideration, consti
tutes a very itnportant. Item. A corresponding
,saving Is realized in the application of this species
of power to the elevation of the stock to the cupo
las. The working of these machines has been ex
amined and highly approved by officials of other
rands
a
gwtlitT; extensive

BLOODY AFFRAY.—Late Friday night, dur
ing the progress of a dance at the low drinking sa
loon o (John Conked, at the corner of. Washington
and West streets, it row ensued between some ein
ployeei of the Lehigh Valley andtchigli and Sus
quehanna Railroads, In which stones, bricks and
ether missiles were freely used. James Street, an
engineer on the L. it 8. Railroad, was stabbed In
the head several times, and It Is feared he cannot
recover from his injuries. John I t afrentz, also an
employee of the L. & B. Railroad, lost a portion of
the index finger of his right hand daring the melee.
Edward Colbath and " Runk" Wolf, employees of
the Lehigh Valley Railroad, and who it is alleged
raised the disturbance, were both badly bruised.—
Emden Free Pies&
TIM , question of Rotation and Anti-Rotation
In the Democratic party of this county is pretty
effectually settled In favor of the Anti-Rotation
wing. Not only did these men succeed . In carry
ing their points In their nominating convention,
but they drowned the voice of all oppodtion, pdel
fled the discontented, proved to the rank and file
that the Court Home Ring was the head and soul
of the Democracy and then polled a heavy vote for
Camp In the country, although Mr. Hecker's popu
larity hurt Camp in the city. We hope there will
be no more wrangling upon this subject in the
future. The Anti-Rotation men have the ring and
the Rotation men may as well run around like good
horses at the circus and save the cost of a contest
and the pain of a defeat. The Rotation men are
undoubtedly right—it is the system we will adopt
when we revolutionize the county—but for the
present might Is mighty and must prevail.
TOE experience of the Return Judges nt
their meeting on Friday last should Impress them
and those who are likely to succeed them with the
Importance of the utmost care In making out their
returns. The returns which were sent In from
Upper Macungie gave Horace Ballict the Repub
lican vote in that township for County Commis-
Moser. The Judge assured the meeting that the
votes were given for Hiram Millet and that the
mistake was made by the clerk who made out the
return papers, but the vote on Commissioner be
ing close there appeared a chance of keeping the
Republican candidate out of his office for a year
or more, until the ease could be decided by the
Courts, and therefore there was a very spirited op
position to counting the vote for Hiram Balliet.
Every Judge there believed that the vote had been
given for Hiram, and their belief was strengthened
by the assurance of their Democratic brother from
Macungie, but the Democrats showed they would
not let such a chance slip to quibble Hiram out of
his office. It was agreed, then, to send for the
tally papers and many were the hopes and fears
which held the Judges in breathless suspense uu•
til these papers were produced, and when they
were examined It was found, fortunately, that
lii
rum Baillet's name was there and he was given
the offim of Commissioner. The escape was a
narrow one and had Balliet been thrown out and
Jarrett given the office, and the popular will thus
been set aside, It would have raised such a storm
of indignation that would have shook the Demo
cratic party of this county to its foundation. Is
Lb 3 Sixth Ward of Allentown the election officers
did not appear to have the least conception of
their duties In making, out their returns, although
the Hon. John D. Stiles annually goes over th'ere
and stays all day to show them how to carry on
an election. Some criticism was passed upon the
manner of making the returns, because they could
not be understood except there was some oue along
who had studied them to give the proper interpre
tation, but all doubts were silenced when the gen
tleman who brought them over asked in the ver
nacular of New York "Do yese suppose tidal votes
is fraudulent I" Next year there will.be an Im
portant election and It is therefore especially im
portant that no such informalities in the returns
be made as were made last week.
TrtE KewTowN FAIR.—The BCCOnd annual
fair of the Keystone Agricultural Society opened
at KutztOwn last Tuesday, under the unfavorable
circumstances of a rainy day. The attendance
notwithstanding was pretty good, the receipts
amounting to $566. On Wednesday the weather
being favorable the attendance was much larger,
being estimated between three and four thotpund,
the receipts amounting to El2OO. On Thursday
the attendance was very large, the number being
estimated at from six to eight thouJand persons.
The receipts were about *2OOO. On Friday the
weather was again unfavorable and the attend
anCe not so good as on the preceding days, but a
better opportunity to examine the display In the
house.
The house has two exhibition floors, and on en
tering the first floor to your right Messrs. La Rue
& Hex worth, of Allentown, exhibited their im
proved parlor stove, the Signal Light, in working
order. John Wagenhorst, of Kutztown, exhibited
several patterns of parlor and cooking stoves.
Wm. P. Dickinson, of Reading, gas lamps and
fixturet The Reading Terra Cotta Works an as
sortment of statuary and vases. A beautiful dis
play of flowers, &c., made by Elsworth Je Fogel,
of Allentown. There was a large and superior
display of fruits of all kinds. The preserved
fruits, domestic wines, &c., also attracted consid
erable attention. Thedisplay of home made goods,
carpets, table cloths, linens', &c., was very credit
able. A tempting display of butter, bread and
cakes was made at one end of the first floor, the
balance of the room being taken up by low plat
forms on which were monster pumpkins, cabbages,
potatoes, and wheat, rye and oats.. The first thing
that struck the eye on ascending to the second
floor, was the large assortment of robes,blankets,
covet lets, caps, hats, boots and shoes. There was
also a fine display of cabinet-ware. A beautiful
steam engine with centre beam, designed by John
Kessler, of Allentown, attracted the attention of
those of a mechanical turn of mind. In fancy ar
ticles the display could not be excelled. Dr. Ger
ash had a number of articles of this kind imported
from Germany. The exhibition of oil paintings.
engravings, photographs, &c., was very gond. D.
R. Levan has a full length oil painting, made one
hand red and ten years ago, of his grand father.
Also a painting of the tempting of Joseph by Pim
roah's Wife, Inure titan a century old. A change
able striped silk wedding dress with the waist four
inches long, and worn by Margaret Lelbensperger
one hundred years ago, attracted much attention
—especia!ly of the fair sex. A pair' of nankeen
pantaloons one hundred years, a Quaker hat one
hundred and thirty years old, a sword one hun
dred and four years old, a revolutionary coat, and
a baby frock forty-five years old, and silver buckle
and buttons worn a century ago, all of which be
long to Lewis K,,flottenstein. The claim le set
'up by a number of ladles that the display of
worsted work and embroidery was the handsomest
that had been exhibited at any fair In this section
for some years past. John B. Snyder exhibited
his mechanical genius by a home made violin,
which Is said to be a superior Instrument. Sew
ing machines, old Bibles and other antiquated
works comprised the remainder of the department.
Among agricultural implements there was a fine
display of threshing machines, mowing machines,
plows, harrows, corn sbellers, shakers and separ
liters. Sander & Wagner, of Kutztown, bad a fine
display of carriages. C. Custer & Co., of Trex
lertown, had a two seated phaetou carriage, with
Custer's patent gearing attached, which Is the ad
miration of the carriage making fraternity, and
was universally admired.
In live stock the display of hogs and sheep was
fine. The exhibit of domestic cattle was very
creditable. A thoroughbred Devonshire bull and
cow, belonging to Jo . siah Albright, of Maxatawny
township, attracted IL large share of attention.
Two or three French-bred horses, a number of
draught and family horses, several liambletandan
bred horses, a young colt front Napoleon, import
ed by the bile Mr. Schreiber, of Allentown, and
two jacks, comprised the Mime display.
The display of pthiltry was small, but there
were some fine specimens of ducks, geese, chick
ens and turkeys.
There was almost an entire abience of out-door
1310

exhibitors for the diversion of the multitude.
There was prese . r.t the man who Is a band In him:
self. lie "Invoked the harmony of sweet aoundb"
from his hurdy gurdy, dross, cymbals and Italian
whistle.
Thursday bad the most attractions. Among
others, a military company from Allentown, the

Ron oirmt,—An elderly gentleman, whose
name we did not learn, was run over Sunday In
the neighborhood of Prelz Weinshelmer's mill,
by the hook and ladder wagon on its way to the
Eire. Borne of the by-star,ders picked up the old
gentleman who was not hurt but somewhat
squeezed, straightened LIM out and put him on his
feet again.
Otintsincous.—Wednesday afternoon, as
Constable Henry was passing by the Fourth Ward
school house, ho saw a man named John Fisher
chasing ahe children. The officer asked the mean
log of this and was told to mind his own bu-loins.
Fisher would not move on, so the officer undertook
to arrest him. Ile resisted and struck him over
the head and arm with a cane. Ilcury took out
his billy and soon had the Individual placed hors
du combat ; but while he was looking for assistance
Fisher managed to escape. Early In the evening
the officer met him In the Third Ward and after
calling for assistance arrested him and placed hum
in the lock-up. He was brought before the Mayor
this morning and on heating was comthitted to
Jan for twenty days. Ile is on old offender, hav
big been before the Mayor several times for insult
ing women and doing other reprehensible acts. It
Is supposed he Is the same individual who was re
ferred to as having attempted to outrage the per
sons of some little girls at the Third Ward school
house. If this Is so we hope that cotnplalut will
be entered against Mtn so that he may receive the
severest penalty of the law. Those who are In
terested to the Third Ward outrages owe It us a
duty to their fellow citizens to prosecute the mat
ter as the children of the community arc not safe
as long as such a villain Is at liberty.

ALL people would undoubtedly prefers tine

the study of many of our learned men to find a'
remedy to restore the hair when It has fallen out,
and renew Its color after It has become gray.
Such a remedy has been found, and Is now offered
to the world under the name of Hall's Vegetable

This Is to certify that I was very, bald ; In fact,
my head was perfectly smooth; and It Is common

Interesting Details from an Allen-
tonian
SCENES AND INCIDENTS.
[The following. letter has been received by Win.
S. Young, E6q., from his Bon, who hoe been prac
tieing law In Chicago.]
Mom)Ay, Oct. 9th,1871, 2 o'clock, P. M.
The city of Chicago is in ruins. The fire is still
raging and God only knows where It will end.
Since Mr. Pretz will leave this p. m. for the East,
I will give you such a description of the confla
gration, that you may recognize the principal
places you saw a week ago, and know how Al.
and I have passed the last fifteen hours. We
were returning home from Colyer's church, (on
the north side,) in company with Henry and his
wife. As we emerged from the foot passage of
the LaSalle Street Tunnel, we saw the western
horison lit up. After seeing them safely to their
room at the Sherman House (where A. V. Mosser
and wife, Mrs. Selfridgeand the Broadheads from
Bethlehem were stopping,,) we started on our way
home, taking LaSalle street going south from
Randolph as our route, In order to get a glimpse
of the lire: By this time we had been walking I
perhaps fifteen minutes, and reached Van Buren I
street, where you may remember the large and
beautiful depot of the Lake Shore and Rock Island
Railroad 13 located, we discovered the location of
the fire, which bad spread over a whole block.
We crossed the Van Buren street draw•brldge,and
ran to Twelfth street, where the fire began. This
part of the city consists principally of lumber
yards, planing mills, wharfage, store houses, ele
vators and shanties. It was In one of these shan
ties that the fire originated. The alarm was given
by the fire alarm telegraph, and In a abort thee
the whole lire department was there. Before any
service could be rendered by the firemen, some
twenty or thirty of these shanties were on fire.
But a . few minutes elapsed before the fire was
communicated to the lumber yards and saw mills,
from them to storage houses and the ships in the
river, and the work of twenty minutes wrought a
sea of tire. It was now ten o'clock and the fire
covered over twenty acres. Such sights:us we.
were called upon to witness, I hope never again
may be our lot to see. Frantic mothers with lit
tle children clinging to them, exited men rushing
to and fro, the streets and sidewalks filled with
furniture, the roaring . flames driving the crowds
before them, everybody bewildered, not knowing
whither to turn or what to do. We, of course,
gave our aid to the suffering. At one time we
carried three children a long distance, while the
mother and father followed us with all that was
left them, ou which to place their little ones, to
give them rest. The wind blew strong, a perfect
hurricane from the south-west. A glance at the
buildings which lay before the unrelenting course
of the awful element plainly Indicated that Chica
go was a doomed city. Devouring numberless
residences, factories and churches, at eleven
o'clock the fire had reached Van Buren street
bridge. This took fire and in a moment the south
side was on lire. Seeing this, we started for borne.
We thought of our Allentown friends at the Sher
man, but before we could reach it It was ablaze.
They, however, found their way ton private house
where they were properly cared for until we
reached them. At Van Buren street, the Rock
Islank depot burned, setting fire to the Grand Pa
cific Hotel. From thence the fire spread towards
Wells and Clark streets. In the short space of one
hour all of the houses on LaSalle, V, Ills, Clark,
Washington, Randolph and Lake streets were'On
fire. It is impossible to describe the excitement
on Wabash Avenue. Everybody was on theetreet.
Houses were etnptied, their contents placed on the
sidewalks. I reached my office in time to save
the ledger and day book, together with afew val
uable papers. This was at two o'clock a. m.
The lire was all around me. Sparks as large as
your hand were pouring in perfect torrents down
the streets. While in our office, I could plainly
see the Board of Trade, Court House, Sherman
House and Crosby Opera House burning. The
window panes began to break and I found I had
only time to take the things already mentioned
and leave the place. Finding it more convenient
to carry the books I placed them in a chair and
started with that in my arms for the Dearborn
street entrance. I was driven back by the hent
and sparks. I returned to the hall and left Port
land Block through the Washington street door.
I ran down ‘Vashingtou to . Wabash, pelted with
sparks and at times almost overcome with euffo•
cation. Oa Wabash thousands like me were rush
ing towards the south, am opposite direction to
the wind, with what they could, nave. I reached
my home, travelling over three miles, at about
four o'clock. By this time the north side was on
tire. I returned to the north entrof Wabash in
time to see rill 111111), Hall & Co.'s, Field, Leiter &
Co.'s, and numerous large buildings burned. The
winds were so fierce and the lire so ferocious that
the consutning of the largest building was but a
moment's work. The fire had now reached
Wabash and run up , Wabash to Harrison,
consuming a number of churches, among
among them the First Presbyterian, which we
attended when you were here a week ago. I cone
home to rest, but find lam unable to do so. The
are is about eight blocks below us and before night
the room I ani sitting in will be burned. All our
traps are packed. Our only refuge la the open
plain, six miles off. The water and gas works, as
well as all the meat markets, being consumed, you
can imagine the state of affairs. What will be
come of the women and children I cannot tell.
Yesterday Chicago was a large city ; to.day It is
not even a town. I will enumerate the buildings
%destroyed. There Is not one bank in Chicago to
day ; not one hotel. Not one building remains on' I
Madison, Monroe, Washington, Randolph, Luke, •
Water, Wells, LaSalle, Clark, Dearborn, State,
Wabash and Michigan avenues on-the south side
from Van Buren to South Water street. On the
North side the fire extends to Lincoln Park. On
the West side how far I know not. More particu
larly described are the buildings known as Lake
Shoic Depot, Pacific Hotel, Bryan Block,
Board of Trade, Western Union Telegraph, Pitts-.
burgh and Fort Wayne Depot and Freight houses,
three elevators on west side,'Commercial building
(in the latter was my old Oflice,) together withal'
' the marble block on either side and opposite, Court
House, Herd, Benne dr, Co., Sherman House,
Briggs House, Metropolitan Hotel, Adams House,
Bigelow Depository, Chase Bros., Metropolitan
. Hall, Crosby Opera House, Olympic Theatre,Mac

Clifton House, Madison House, Burke's European
Hotel, Revere House, Tremont House, City Hotel,
Michigan Central Depot, Palace Car Co., Fluid,
Leiter .b Co., Farwell & Co., Hamlin, Hull &Co.,
Giles Bros., every one of the banks, the Tribune
building, and all the churches In the lower part of
the city. Besides these the numberless largo and
banutiful stores on the different streets, and fine
residences on Wabash and Michigan avenues.
Looking froin.my window I see the are still rag
ing In the vicinity of the house of Governor Bross.
What the loss will be cannot now be estimated ;
certain it is that Chicago is destroyed, and all Its
'merchants bankrupt. Insurance companies and

banks can pay nothing, for reasons that can be
plainly seen. A great many lives have been lost.
Mr. Reeme and I walked near his office and while
passing up Clark street found the roasted body of
a young man. On the west side I saw a body
burned to a crisp recognizable only by the skull
which remained perfect. Withal! the sorrow and'
calamity before us, God knowing only what the
Marrow :will bring forth, everybody seems con
tented with their lot, since it is not otherwise nor
cannot be altered. The fire department worked
manfully, but having lost a number of engleesand
a lot of hose the night before, they labored under
great disadvantages. Al. and Henry Just came in
and report that the fire Is still raging, the fierce
winds blowing the smoke and sand in volumes
through the streets, causing them to be barely
passable. Men are walking through the streets
with their faces veiled. Women of the best fans.
Hies tire seen carrying bouseware and their (flees
blackened with smoke. But a moment ago there
was an immense convulsion caused by the blowing
up of the Methodist Church, and whole blocks in
order to check the spread of the fire. It is earn
estly hoped and fervent prayers are offered that
the wind may subside. Since the water works are
completely destroyed the engines are powerless
from want of water, thus depriving us of all Means
to compete with the monster. Proclamations have
been Issued to the effect that no fires of any idol
shall be lit for any purpose during the day and
night. It Is feared that a tire arty break out in
the south part of the city, and lu that event a total
destruction, and hundreds of lives would be lost.
as people would be striven to the lake, or river, or
the prairies, which are already on fire. One hun
dred thousand people already homeless and pen
niless we fear a great demand for food and dar.
not think of a panic among the hunger-Stricken.
We call on our Eastern people to aid us. That
the world may never again hear of another such
disaster and that we may be saved from further
destruction and that hunger and want may yet h•
far off, is the prayer of those, Who like me, are
common sufferers. Your obedient son,
