THE INSURANCE LOSSES.

Saturday a number of Eastern insurance agents arrived in Chicago, and in the afternoon a meeting of adjusters and agents and others interested was held at No. 67 Canal street. The meeting was called to order by appointing R. J. Smith, of the 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.

IJYKBrOOL, LONDON AND GLOBE. A dispatch has been received from W. Warren, general agent of the Ltveip^ol, London and Globe Insurance Company, stating that all losses are to be paid immediately, and tho compauy to go on and do business as usual. *1

This is not the Northwestorn Mutual Life Company, but a Fire Company of the same name, Having no conuection with the former.

Our city editor, Mr. Dickerson, who returned from Chicago this morning, says, that all of the Chicago iusurance companies are badly "busted" and that the Republic (in which tnauy of our 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 condition to pay the full amount of the stock subscribed by them, much less to lose what they have already paid. ggqa r*H.

The Lesson.

The following article we take from the Indianapolis Journal,and by substituting Terre Haute for Indianapolis, it applies with equal force to us: "Terre Haute

will do well jf its people and their servants improve the lessons which are afforded by the fire of Chicago. We should build more substantially, and with a wiser use of the m^ans that tend to prevent the spread of fire, 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 are 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."

TIic 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," furuishes the New York Express the following estimate, which we think approximates nearer the aggregate loss than any estimate we have seen if 2,000 business houses at $25,000 $50,000,000 8,000 dwellings, averaging 56,000.., 48,000,000 Engines and machinery attached 2,0.0,000

Total loss in houses alone. 3100,000,000 Of business houses probably ten detained goods worth $1,00(J,000 each...810,000,000 20 valuables at 8o00,!00 each 10.000 000 40 contents worth S250,000 each 10,000,000 200 worth $100,000 each 20,000,000 500 averaging 830,000each 15,000,000 Remaining and 670 aveiaging 510,000 each 16,000,000 Furniture and other contents of 8,000 dwellings, averaging82,• 00 1^,000,000 Lumber yards, raili oad stock and craft 2,3(M i,000

Total gods and wares, lumber, railroad f-toclsand vessels 8100,000 000 Agregate loss by tire 200,000,000

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 General 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 half an hour after 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 the wind increased to a perfect whirling hurricane, raising shingles and 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 beimr compelled to run for life. My friend and 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 again be seen in, this city, little thinkingthat within a few hdurs our whole city would be oue awful field of fiame. the likaof which theory 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 tne east side of the river, (what is called the South Side.) We immediately crossed ovtT 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 was like a furtiace, full of a whirling mass of live coalsof fire, some of which seemed to be pieces of pine luiu ber 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 Island & Pacific Depot. Here we made the discovery that the conflagration was spreading east, anil, immediately t|j*d to get back to Washington ind LaseJ reets, but found that (where we had ®ed a few minutes ago) the Court House, Chamber of Comineroe,. Method iftt Qliups^ JBlpek,

Sherman House were on ore. We and then tried to get west again by going up Dearborn street to Raudolph, 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 *od fire «»iiipelled 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 avenuo 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, Postofflee, Trifttme o$c#, and ft new bufMlog o« tb*

'•wir Ills

comer of Monroe and Laselle are yet standing. Would to heaven I could, here but alas! not eWn 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 lake, was one sea of flame. Long before this the fire department had given up all hopes.

The water: supply was short, but at about seven o'clock the Water Works burned, and then 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 than three thousand acres, all compactly built up 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 one 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 awful 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 ap-

proximate 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 tneir 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 lookiug up a new place in some remaining [/art 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 exposuie, but all are full of sj'mpathy aud doing all that can be done with the means that are at our command. Thousands have been furnished passes to gorto Iriends out of the city. Since Monday every block has been under patrol, and no fire is kept up except in ease 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 tis 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 destn^ed. "Do unto others as you would they should do unto you." Respectfully,

au6d3m.

IT IS, THAT THERE EXISTS IKT THIS PLACE AT LEAST ONE FIRM THAT PROPOSES TO ALLOW JVO INTERFERENCE OF OUTSIDERS WITH THE DESTINY OF THE RETAIL DRY GOODS TRADE OF TERRE HAUTE.

CHICAGO WHOLESALE MERCHANTS.

We said a few weeks ago that we would sliut up or

drive out of town a certain nondescript auction concern,

if it cost us a loss of five thousand dollars to do it.

WE HATE DOE 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 oui' great sale. Finding all their attempts at getting up a sale use less, 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 believes, to the eifect that they have bought the old stock and added new goods to it and propose to retail it out.

If there are any ether traveling concerns hovering around, we tell them that if they land here under similar circumstances, they will get similar treatment.
