The meeting was called to order by appointing R. J. Smith, of tho Putnam, of Hartford, Chairman, and Alfred Whightway, Secretary. On motion of Mr. Moore, it was ordered that a committee be appointed to prepare a plftn of action to be submitted to a future meeting. The Chair appointed Messrs.

Our city editor, Mr. Dickerson, who returned from Chicago this morning, says, that all of the Chicago insurance companies are badly "busted" and that the Republic (in which many of ur citizens are interested) is knocked all to pieces. We sympathize with the stockholders of those Chicago companies in this city, as many of them are not in a condltiou to pay the full amount of the stock subscribed by them, much less to lose what they have already paid, -J--7 «f
The Lesson.
The following article we take from the Indianapolis
Journal^
and by substituting
Terre Haute for Indianapolis, it applies with equal force to ua: "Terre Haute
will do well jf its people and their servant^ improve the lessons which are afforded by the fire of Chicago. We should build more substantially, and with & wiser use of the means that tend to prevent the spread of-flre. Of-course, we cannot expect people to build houses that shall be absolutely fire-proof. But we may expect them, in all cases where it is possible, to build of brick instead of wood. To effect this the limits within which it is forbidden, to build of wood ought at once to be extended and what is of equal importance, within the prescribed limits the prohibition of wood ought to be strictly enforced. All through the thickly settled part of the town, and even in that part where the busiuess is done, there lire many frame houses, wooden stables and sheds, and temporary structures of wood innumerable.
Then there is the kerosene lamp. Is there no way to get rid of this hungry devourer of men and property? Is there no means by which this terrible fluid, which lays cities waste, and destroys yearly more lives than all the casualties of fire and flood and railroad disaster combined, can be kept at a decent distance? Must it needs be stored in the midst of a city, in the very vitals of its life and trade, to burst forth in death and ruin without a moment's warning? If the use of this malignant agent cannot be abandoned, it is certainly within the police power of every city to compel its storage in magazines, as powder is stored. Never in time of peace was powder so fearful an enemy."
The Loss by the Chicago Fire. The pecuniary loss by the fires at Chicago have been greatly over estimated, many of the accounts placing it at four and five hundred millions of dollars, and some even as high as six hundred millions. "A very careful business man of the West, who knows whereof he writes," furnishes the New York
Express
the following estimate, which we think approximates nearer the aggregate loss than any estimate we have seen 2,000 business liousesat $25,000 850,000,000 8,000 dwellings, averaging S6,000.., 48,000,000 Engines and machinery attached 2,0v0,000
Total loss in houses alone 3100,000,000 Of business houses probably ten dntained goods worth 81,000,000 each...810,000,000 20 valuables at 8500,000 each 10.000 000 40 contents worth 8250,000 each 10,000,000 200 worth $100,000 each 20,00,000 500 averaging 830,000each 15,000,000 Remaining and 670 aveiaging $10,000 each 16,000.000 Furniture and other contents of 8,000 dwellings, averaging$2,- 00 1H,000,000 Lumberyards, rail) oad stock and craft 2,3iRi,OOU
Total ods and wares, lumber, railroad i-tockand vessels $100,000 000 Agregate loss by tire 200,030,000
The number of houses destroyed is here given at 10,000, which is probably not too small an estimate, though newspaper correspondents on the spot put the number down at 15,000.
THE Putnam Fire Insurance Company has received information from the Gen eral Agent at Chicago and announces it must suspend business. The officers are attempting to organize another company, with a new capital, to take its place immediately, with good prospects of success.
Description of the Chicago Fire by an Eye-Witness. CHICAGO, Oct. 11,1871. To the Editor of Terre Haute Gazette:
For the information of the friends of Chicago I write you the following, my own observations. As there was so great devastation, one could only see a small part. After coming from church Sunday evening, I was preparing to retire, when a friend called my attention to the fact that there was afire in progress in the locality of the Saturday night fire. I took a look at it, and at once decided it to be far south of that locality* and started immediately for the scene, where I arrived (with a friend, an insurance man) at about 10 o'clock. At the time of our arrival there had been about fifteen small houses burned and some twelve or fourteen others were on fire. I then thought the fire department could control it when all had arrived.
But about hair anTiour "a'ffer we arrived (we had walked around the entire fire, my friend having permission to pass, being the Secretary of one of our insurance companies} the fire got into some shavings and tne wind increased to a perfect whirling hurricane, raising shingles aud live coals into one whirling mass, these falling on the dry roofs set everything on fire in their course. Several of the engines were burned, the men beinc compelled to run for life. My friend aud I retreated northeast down Clinton and Jefferson streets to Van Buren street bridge, where we attempted to cross to the South Side, but the flames were so near and the heat so intense that we were compelled to run for our lives up Canal street, into the open space which had been burned over Saturday night.
Here we took a look at the vast field or flame, now covering an area of some hundreds of acres of houses and manufactories. I then thought such a scene would never agaiu be seen iu, this city, little thinking that within a few hours our whole city would be oue awful field *f flame, the like of which ,history has no record. After spending some minutes looking at the progress of the flames, we noticed that fire had started up near the Gas Works aud Armory, on the east side of the river, (what is called the South Side.) We immediately crossed over Madison" street bridge and -walked and ran to Laselle street, then down to Washington street, thence east to Wabash avenue. Though most of this route the air w*s like a furnace, full of a whirling mass of live coals of fire, some of which seemed to be pieces of pine lumber burned to a coal.anil carried up in the whirlwind.
After getting east of the geueral course ol the fire, we went back south to a little below the, great Rock Islaud & Pacific Depot. Here we made the discovery that the conflagration was spreading east, and, immediately tried to get back to Washington and Laselle sreets, but, found that (where we had ased a few minutes ago) the Court House, Chamber of Commerce, Methodist Church Block, and Sherman House were "on ff¥e. We then tried to get west again by going up Dearborn street to Haudolph, but found the heat so intense that we were compelled to retreat back to Washington street, thence to State, thence north to Lake street. Here we found it impossible to go west as the heat and fire compelled us to retreat again south on State, and finally back tb the West Side by Twelfth street bridge.
Afternoon Monday—Every building but three north of Harrison and west of Wabash avenue and north of Congress street and east of Wabash avenue.and south of the river Is hi ruins. These three buildings are the Wabash avenue M. E. Church, one Elevator east of the Union depot and a block at Randolph street bridge. The walls of four others, the First National Bank.Postoflice,

corner of Monroe and Laselle are yet standing. Would to heaven I could, here but alas! not eV#li the"main river could stop the devouring elements. The burning coals carried by the fierce gale across the river lodged among' the pine roofs, and soon the whole North Side from "the river to the Take, was one sea of flame. Long before this the fire depart^ ment had given up all hopes.
The water supply was short, but at about seven o'clock the Water Works burned, and (hen all efforts to use the engines was confined to the location near the lake and river. Our Fire Department had lost nearly half of their engines. The field of destruction must cover an erea of but little less thau
ihoumnd acres,
with over 20,000 houses. At least 100,000 people are rendered homeless, and the suffering is more than possible to tell. A great many lives were lost, but how many is unknown. Some estimate 1,000. I don't think that will be short of the number. I hope it may prove less, but from what I saw it will be more.
Of the other losses oue cannot give any possible estimate likely to be anywhere near correct, but less than two or three hundred millions seems to be impossible.
Of the awfui grandeur of this^scene of flame none but those who saw it could imagine how it looked, and pen could never convey to any one else any approximate idea of the reality.
Monday Chicago was in flames and ashes to-day they are alive with hope and courage. Only while employed in defending and protecting tbeir homes and loved ones were they deterred from beginning again.
Only yesterday were our former places of business one smoking mass of ruius. To-day every man is looking up a new place in some remaining part of the city. Thousands have taken residence.*, and all are getting to work any and everywhere, with a determination to make up for their losses as soon as possible.
On every side the hand of encouragement and sympathy is extended. To the business man comes the tender of material aid to the hungry, food to the naked, clothes. Our churches are full of the homeless. Many have died from want and exposute, but all are full of sympathy aud doing all thatcan be done with the means that are at our command. Thousands have been furnished passes to go.to iriends out of the city. Since Monday every block has been under patrol, and no fire is kept up except in case of special necessity for cooking. To-day two thousand troops arrived to relieve the worn-out citizens, and Geueral Sheridan is in command. Shows all closed.
But it is useless to write more, it will be about impossible for reports to overestimate this great calamity. Some may think Chicago is gone, but if they could only spend a few hours here I guess they will find that though Providence has brought us down to ashes, we are willing to trust that Providence and build up our city again, even better than before. It will take time and money, but of the first we shall use as little as possible, of the latter we shall have all we need, I have no doubt, to make our city all she ever was.
Sympathise with us in our misfortune remembering that we have nearly one hundred thousand homeless, destitute people to provide for, while nearly everything has been destroyed. "Do unto others as you would they should do unto you." Respectfully,

A WARNING TO PETER FUNKS!
Atfl CHICAGO WHOLESALE MERCHANTS.
Wo said a few weeks ago that we would shut up or
drive out of town a certain nondescript auction concern,
if it cost us a loss of five thounand dollars to do it.
W12 HAVE DOAE IT!
Within forty-eight hours after we opened our batteries upon them, their lines began to waver within a week or ten days their auctions were a COMPLETE and LAUGHABLE FAILURE, and the Nondescripts could be seen jumping around upon their counters, yelling away at the top of their voices and knocking down goods to empty store stools in the vain attempt to entice into their store the crowds of people hastening to oul* great sale. Finding all their attempts at getting up a sale useless, they next endeavored to sell their old stock at auction to the other dry goods merchants. But even in this they lamentably failed, as the other merchants dared not buy their stock thus openly, for fear it would injure their trade. Then they commenced to sell their goods to the other dry goods merchants SECRETLY. We found it out, and true to the interests of the masses of the people, we told them of it That stopped THAT business. Now these chaps, whose auction sale we closed up, appear in print with a poorly got up story, that no body be lieves, to the eifect that they have bought the old stock and added new goods to it and propose to retail it out.
WHAT IS THE LESSON TAUGHT!
IT IS, THAT THERE EXISTS IN THIS PLACE AT LEAST OWE FIRM THAT PROPOSES TO ALLOW J\0 INTERFERENCE OF OUTSIDERS WITH THE DESTINY OF THE RETAIL DRY GOODS TRADE OF TERRE HAUTE.
If there are any oilier traTeling concerns hovering around, we tell tliem tbat If they land here under similar circumstances, (hey will get similar treatment.
THE GREAT SALE TO CONTINUE!
