THE CHICAGO FIRE.

Statement from one of onr Citizens.

Scenes and Incidents of the Devastation and Suffering

THE HALF NOT TOLD.

Money and Provisions Pouring In.

SpeeiaJ Correspondence Daily Expreet, CHICAGO, October 11,1871. Crawford Scott and myself started from Terre Haute for this point on Monday evening. At Effingham we met the trains from St. Louis and Cairo, with five cars of provisions hooked on to the passenger train, and among the Committeemen from St. Louis, were Nathan Stevens of the Vandalia, Frank Chandler, Wicker & Anderson of the North Missouri, Col. Creveling of the St. Louis Transfer, Gov. Stanard and other prominent citizens. At Calumet, the Michigan Central came in with a large train of coaches and provision cars. We arrived at Chicago at 8:30, and the provisions were all turned over to the Mayor and Belief Committee-

On our train were many Chicago mer chants hastening home, doubtful if they had either house or home to find there, One old gentleman was with us who owned 4 corner buildings on Lake street, and he seemed very cheerful under the circumstances of losing half a million.:

Upon OHr arrival at the §2d street station, the scenes that awaited us was but a precursor of the events of the day. Along the lake froht were thousands of homeless snfierers little children crying for bread, find on account of the cold, with no shelter but a blanket or coat saved from the wreck of their once happy homes. At Harrison and State streets, we first struck the scene of the fire, and as the localities have all been marked out by competent pens, all I propose to give you is what we ourselves witnessed on our passage through the ruins. From Harrison street to the main river, and from the South Branch to the Lake, the only building standing uninjured is the wholesale drug house of Fuller, Finch fc Fuller, corner Randolph and Market and no walls even of the burned buildings, save the Postoffice, Court House, 1st National Bank, Bock Island and Illinois Central depots, and the new Pacific Hotel. Such massive structures as Crosby Opera House, Field, Leiter & Co.'s, Palmer, Sherman,JTremont, Briggs and Adams Hotels, the Tribune" are levelled with the ground.

Crosby had just expended $60,000 in refitting and embellishing his Opera House, and the Theo. Thomas Orchestra wer6 to open it on last Monday evening

As we passed down State street, we saw on all sides preparation being made for temporary offices and structures piles of lumber and gangs of workmen being in active display. Thousands of .men, women and children were busily engaged in searching among the ruins for spoils, and there seemed to be no one to disturb them in their vocation.

The Nicholson pavements, with which most of the Chicago streets were paved are all honey-combed by the fire, and the cobble stone pavements cracked by the intense heat. Only two bridges stand, one at Lake and one at 12th streets, and these two with the tunnel at Washington Btreet, have to accommodate all the immense travel across the river and its branches.

Upon Wells street and back on the bank of the river were the large coal yards, and all fully stocked for the approaching season. The millions of bushels of coal here piled were all in full blaze, and four steam engines were posted on the opposite side of the river, with their hose leading across in the water, playing upon these immense heights of

firm£

"Jff1, fi

THef water wcks were burned early the first day. These weie upon the east side of the North Branch, where were also many fine residences, churches, manufacturing establishments and the extensive breweries of both Sill and Sands. To this fact of the loss of the water supply, may be attributed the unprecedented calamity of this carnival of fire.

The gas works were also destroyed and the gasometer blown tip—and your readers may imagine a city like this deprived at once of both water and light in addition to the rest of the destitution. There was a report tRat many lives were lost by the explosion of the meter, but I could find out nothing of this to a certainty, except one man said that he was standing two blocks distant, and was blown twenty feet by Jhe concussion.

Upon State street, near Washington, is posted the following—and thin may serve for an instance of Chicago spirit: "Wa. KERFOOT opened at 59 Union Park Place. Everything gone but wife, babies a»a ENERGY."

We have tried to find our Terre Haute friends in Chicago. Sam. Turner wa» last seen hauling his trunks in a Wagon through the fiery streets Judge Gookins has lost his office and home Linn & Reed, in the Chamber of Commerce building, are out of a business locality same with Charlie Kern, although he has his nice home on Wabash Avenue left to him Mr. Covert is a sufferer to a large amount, as he was a landlord of no mean pretensions.

As usual upon all such occasions, human cormorants are plenty. Draymen charged and received $100 for eight loads, from a gentleman who is our informant, and we heard that as high as $500 wn charged in some instances. We heard ourselves, a drayman with an old horse and wagon, bargain to take a man with his wife and child ten squares for $5. Maay goods were saved by hauling away but transported to places afterward visited by the fire fiend, (hey, too, fell victims to the common scourge.

On Wabash and Michigan Avenues we saw ladies and children carrying bedding and other household goods to some place of shelter for themselves, and others with pails and tuba carrying water from the Lake for household purposes. Signs are seen all up and down these streets, upon the residences, that the business.«f the houses destroyed will be carried on at home for the present.

SiSSl

The only fiMt-fclaas hotel on the business side of the city remaining is the "Michigan Avenue," and .this, with others of minor importance, as far out as Hyde Park, are filled to overflowing. I under derstand that. the Tremont people have rented the Laclede, on the north aide, and will soon be in active operation, to receive their former friends and guests-

General Sheridan did valiant service in the battle of fire here, as he did, lang syne, in Virginia. He has been constantat work with all the force at his command, and has had tents pitched to help accommodate the moriety of the 10,000 homeless families, and last evening he was reinforced by 1,000 regulars to assist in the police and patrol of the city. The citizens last night were also forced into voluntary patrol under charge of the district police to prevent plunder and arson. More than forty arrests were made yesterday of persons charged with being caught in the act of firing buildings. We were walking up State street, and seeing a crowd running down a side street and up an alley, we ran with- the crowd, (Crawford having the advantage kept ahead.) A policeman had shot a fellow, whom he had detected in the act of arson, right through the head and had started in pursuit of his accomplice, of course followed by an innumerable crowd. We afterwards heard that the fellow was caught and hung to a lamp post.

George Austin, of Mankato, who is here, told me he saw a special negro policeman hit a thief, who was rifling a safe on

Wabash Avenue, on the head. The thief looked as if he would never have a chance to' steal again ,v

Provisions are necessarily scarce and very dear. They charged $2 75 last night at a Clark street restaurant for two suppers, and very mean one at that, with light furnished by a candle, stuck into a pop bottle.

The churches that are uninjured are all turned into reception rooms, and aie filled to their utmost capacity with families who otherwise would have to sleep in the open air.

The Post Office and Wes.'on Union Telegraph, have been opened in Burlington Hall, on State street, and are constantly thronged with crowds of anxious people. in the six large elevators which were burned, were stored over four million bushels of wheat and other grain, and we saw flour yesterday selling at $18 per barrel.

Last evening we took a walk over the burned district in Wells and La Salle streets. The large large piles of coal spoken of heretofore being in full blaze, afforded warm shelter for many houseles wanderers, and lit up the heavens with awful grandeur.

Ic would take the facile pen of a Russell, or a Halstead to intelligibly portray the scenes of this devastating calamity. It can not even be appreciated when seen. The line of vision can not take in seven miles of length,Jby one l£miles in width, of the portion laid waste, as we stand among the remains. I have merely dotted down very imperfectly such of the items as fell under my own observation and yet the half is not told.

From all directions are pouring in money and provisions for the sufferers. The Mayor and other city authorities are formed into boards of relief, and sitting in different parts of the city are doing what they can. to ameliorate the condition, and supply the wants of the destitute. Free passes are being issued to all who wish to leave the city for other points, and very many are availing themselves of the opportunity. I am glad to know that Terre Haute was among the first to show her sympathy, and send substantial assistance for the hungry ones here.

T-ITI QUIEN SABE.

OPERA HOUSE.—To-night the Vienna Lady Orchestra will appear at the Opera House. They come with such flattering criticism, and with the prestige of such large success that our people will not neglect thTonly opportunity of enjoying what the most fastidious audiences in the principal cities of the world seemed to have gone into ecstacies over. The orchestra consists of over twenty lady vocalists and instruments, who bring with them the highest European commendations. Yesterday's Indianapolis "Journal" fljivn

/-i

says. ,..s.a The audience in attendance fully ap« preciated the merits of the concert, as was attested by their frequent and continuous applause. Each piece was played Bpendidly, and with an evident desire on the part of the performers to please. M'lle AnnaElger and Herr Jacob Moller were the favorites, and acquitted themselves in a very creditable manner. We were pleased to notice the absence of that boldness and impudence which js usually characteristic of female performers, and will bespeak them a larger crowd tonight.

The N. Y. "Herald" of Sept. 12, has this mention: These ladies play with the esprit and elan characteristic of the eity they hail from, and consequently produce a much greater body of tone than can be attained by double the number of Teutons that make up the rank and file of our orchestras. They gained the suffrages of the immense audience by their artistic playing, independent of the extremely pretty picture they formed in their very becoming toilets.

Reserved seats can be secured at B. G. Cox's

A GOOD MOVE.—The following circular, which explains itself has been issued to the men employed by thei I., & St. L* Railroad Company:

OCTOBER 11th, 1871.

It has been suggested that our sympa* thy be shown to the sufferers by the calamitywhich has overtaken Chicago, by each donating the amount received for a days work, or any amount seen fit to be given.

To give all that wish a chance to contribute, each bead of a department is renested to distribute this Circular with the accompanying form of orders on the Paymaster.

The whole amount subscribed will be advanced by the Paymaster, to Mr. Woodward who will forward to the Committee of Relief.

A complete list will be made of the names with the amount subscribed.

O. S PEASB.

EDWARD QOINK, the burglar shot at St. Mary's, is still suffering greatly from his wound but will probably recover. It is generally believed that he is a halfwitted fellow and that he was wandering about Mr. Barker's house, scarcely knowing where he was.

VAN AMBURGH & Co's GREAT GOLDEN MENAGERIE.—This extensive caravan, the only exclusive collection of living wild animals entirely disconnected from circus performances, will givetwo exhU bitions in this city on Wednesday the 25th inst. There is comprised in this vast Zoological institution numberless animals both rare and costly, including many leading specialties that have never before been on exhibition in this country. It is always refreshing in these days of humbug shows, to herald the advance of so popular and legitimate exhibition of that of Van Amburgh & Co. It is in reality a school of natural history and has been extensively patronized by the church and intelligent classes of the community on account of its educational and instructive qualities. Two exhibitions will be given—afternoon at 1J o'clock, evening at 7J o'clock.

RELIEF FUND.—Thesolicitingcommittee, up to last evening had raised a little over $4,000. It is expected the sum will be swelled this moaning to $5,000, when it will be forwarded to the Chicago sufferers. A member of the committee will accompany the contribution and see that it is properly applied.

JUDGE J. T. SCOTT appears to be the head of our trinity of courts. Besides attending to his own Common Pleas Court he is running Judge Long's Criminal Court, and yesterday he waa on the bench aa Judge of Civil Circuit Court.

The Insurance Companies.

The JDtna Fire Insurance Company has lost heavily in the Chicago fire, but the entire amount of her losses will not impair her capital one dollar. A telegram from Springfiield, .Massachusetts, assures the Agents of the Springfield that their sterling company is still sound and will pay her losses without discount. Ihe Franklin of Philadelphia is not hurt specially, .and the very best indemnity is offered as before by her Agents, Hager A McKeen. If any change takes place in the standing of companies represented by this firm the public may rest assured that they will be notified and their interest cared for.

We are glad to publish the following letter received by J. A. Foote, Agent of the "Imperial Fire Insurance Company of London:"

Havens & Faris, Agts. Our policies are good, and all losses in Chicago will be paid.

M. MAGILL, General Agt.,

Phoenix Insurance Co. of Hartford. Yesterday's Indianapolis "Journal" has the following:

Certain insurance agents are represent* ing that their companies were not doing business in Chicago, and have therefore suffered no loss in the great fire. The staunch and reliable J3tna of Hartford does,not make any such pretense. If she did, it would indicate that Bhe was doing very little business. Her losses in this terrible conflagration are large, and every cent will be paid. Mr. Abromet has received dispat'hes from the officers of the company that her solvency will remain unshaken. He also has received a disdatch from the Pi esident of the Springfield (Mass) that it also is able and ready to pay all losses.
