The CHICAGO FIRE.-The Chicago papers of
the Sd and 2lth contain full accounts OF the bu-
rial of the bodies Of the victims OF the late con
Migration in that city, and Of the inquest which
is still proceeding.
The funeral obsequies were performed in the
open air. A platform had been erected in the
Courthouse Square, and long before the hour ap-
pointed the grounds, streets, Windows and
house-tops were filed with an anxious throng -
After the services, which were conducted by a
number OF clergymen, the procession moved
throu2h the streets to the cemetery. Many Of the
principal streets were draped in mourning, and
the flags Of the various vessels foated at half
mast.
The testimony produced at the Coroner's In
quest on the bodies of the victims of the d re- de-
velops some startling facts. 1t appears that the
upper floors of the stores burned on w alter street
were occupied by young men as sleeping apart
ments. number Of those young men were
clerks in the stores. The evidence proves that il
was their common practice TO introduce women
Of bad repute into their rooms at night and sew
rral Of these women testify that they were pass
ing the night in the rooms when the fire broke
out. 1t is supposed that the confagration was
the work II incendiaries, though 1t dos not
clearly appear, az yet, where or how the FIRE was
set. Flames were first observed by the city bell
ringer, bursting out of the top story Of the build
ing.
