TIE FIRE FIEND IN CHICAGO.
Burning of Buildings OH South Water
Street---Thrce Firenen Killed
and Three Badly In
Tom the Chicago Post, Saturday

Tom the Chicago Post, Saturday.
On Friday night fire was discovered
in the rear of No 80 South Water Street,
a fiv6stoYy building extending back to
the alley between Water and State Streets,
and occupied by number of firms, among
whom are Goodrich, Moulton d Co.,
commission merchants, r. Ii. Slosson Il
Co., step ladder and spring bed makers !;
Cowles & Watson, Yankee notions, and
others. The rear portion of the building
is seen from State Street, extending
across the alley at the back of Rothschild,
Danziger & Schroeder's cigar establish
ment, and in this portion Of it the fire
seems to have originated, though so
rapidly did the flames spread that the
general impression was that it had been
set on fire at different points. BY one
O clock this morning the conhagratlon
was all but subdued, and several Of the
engines were going home.
About half past one this morning. six
of the firemen were standing together on
the first floor of the building. They were
tired and hungry. and one of them was
engaged in the act of cutting up piece
of cheese for lunch, when without a
note of warning, a tremendous crash
was heard. The eastern wall of the
building fell, crushing in the first and
second floors, and the six men in mo-
ment were buried among the debris IN
the basement. The alarm was given,
and when the men returned with the
engines, the work of excavating was Wig
orously begun 1t was task of almost
insurmountable difficulty to dig under
the chaos of brick and plaster and floor
l,,~ IL ~
faint cries of the wretched sufferers ex-
piring in that awful grave, and the men
worked with an energy that was almost
superhuman. Very soon they came upon
the shattered limbs of one poor fellow,
who was borne out Of the ruins. Then
another was found entirely lifeless, and
by and by two others were pulled out
comparatively uninjured.
The name of the man who was first
discovered killed was Jacob Held, of the
j. B. Rice. He was dreadfully maagled
his limbs being broken, and this whole
body covered with mud He was man
of thirty-eight years of age, and leaves a
wife and FIVE children, who reside in the
West Division.
Henry Hemingsen, of the steamer j.
b. Rice, young man of twenty-five, was
badly injured, his right leg being broken
and his body much bruised.
John Lonnergan of the American Hose
Company, John Kern of the Hook and
Ladder, were saved alive, both, however,
being injured considerably and very much
exhausted.
The boGy Of Nicholas Barth, of the
]. B. Rics, was taken from the ruins at
10 O. clock this morning. and conveyed to
the Central Station, where also lies the
corpse of Jacob Held.
The body was horribly crushed and man
gled, nearly all the bones broken, and the
head and face 50 bruised rs to have lost

From the Plains.

A communication received by the bu-
reau of Indian Affairs from Geo. w.
Dent, Superintendent of Indian Affairs
for Arizona Territory, and dated La Paz,
during the month of March, reports an
other melancholy massacre of American
citizens by the Apaches of Central Arizo-
na On the I'd of that mont., two teams
belonging to resident of La Paz, in re-
turning from Prescott in charge of two
drivers accompanied by five other men,
were fred into with guns by party of
about forty Apaches and driven, and one
of the trayelers killed The scene of the
casualty was about eight miles on the La
Paz side of Date Creek Two of the ira
velers were wounded, and they with the
two others who were unhurt, escaped
The indians destroyed part Of the har-
ness of the teams, riAed the wagons and
run off with the stock, consisting OF
eighteen mules and four horses. About
three hours after the occurrence another
train of wagons came UP, and being pre-
pared, attempted to recover the stock.
They followed them to canon in the
mountains to the north of the reads, when
they were charged by the Indians and re-
pulsed. and the Indians again made of
with the entire booty. After buryine
the dead by the roadside, they proceeded
to the town and reported the foregoing.
This depreciation occurred in that part
of the road heretofore regarded safe
against hostilities, and is additional proof
Of the increasing boldness of the Apach-
eS.
Mr.. Dent further writes that by recent
order of the commanding military officer
military patrol will be stationed between
here and Date Creek, and the efficiency
Of the troops be tested It is believed,
but not reported officially, that some of
the young men of the Yampaise and
Mojivas will join with the Apaches in
their depredations and such is the strength
of sentiment and belief that, should such
coalition be proved, the whites would re-
taliate on friendly river Indians, ana sac

After the FIRE had been extinguished,
and the men were busily engaged in at

fresh flames broke out in the adjoining

At ten o'clock this forenoon. an alarm
of fire was sounded from box l23, located
at the corner of Sixteenth and Canal

White Meal for the Starving.

- Gen Sickles informs such of our North
ern people as have believed the unau-
thenticated rumors of starvation at the
South, that those who wish to send thell
corn meal to feed Southerners will be re-
auired to send white meal, as the South
ern palate rejects the meal made of yellow
corn What the Northern palate finds
wholesome, what every Northern family
has eaten, is not acceptable to the dys-
peptic South Caroiinians Though more
nutritious, as every farmer and physician
will testify, it is not white, and starving
Southerners, says Gen. Sickles, will only
feed it to their hogs if Northern people
insist upon sending it down there. The
Spaniard who begs on horseback is meek
compared with the Carolina beggar The
only case we remember which fully illus
trates the preference of the starving
Southerners for white meal, is that of the
man who, being too lazy to work, and on
the verge of starvation, was made the
subject of consultation on the part OF
his neighbors. They finally decided to
bury him alive. As they We're bearing
him to the grave, a good Quaker, leaning
! over his gate, inquired:
Friends, where do thee go with tha;
man?''
He is too lazy to work, and we are
going to bury him. they replied.
Thee need not do so hard a thing as
that, : replied the Quaker. Let hin
| be idle if he will not work.
''But he is starving
'Then l will send him some corn from
my granary. y
Upon this liberal offer there seemed tc
be no resort but to let the man live. wher
he. turning to the Quaker, inquired:
is itshelled?''
No, replied the Qua'ser.
''Wili you shell it for me ?'
''Pll see thee starve first responded
the irate disciple of William Penn.
Garry me on then, replied the vaga
bond; Il thought you had no real chari
ty in your heart. IT,
Soft our philanthropists have any rea
charity IN their hearts, let them send tC
the starving Southrons meal made Of
white corn, and keep the yellow, fol
Southrons can t eat it.

LAND GRANT RAILRoAD.

We are pleased to notice that the Rail
Road question is again being agitated
This project is Of the most vital impor-
tance both to the village and county, and
should receive the united and cordial sup
port Of our citizens. The early completion
ofthe Ha i 1.-THE best On the lake-may
now be considered fixed fact. During
the next season of navigation, the largest
crafts that float on the "chain Of lakes
will have sufficient water for their pur-
pose. So this great public work, for the
prosperity and growth of our Village is
accomplished, or at least may be consid-
cred SO. But the HarborswilI be Of little
READ benefit unless we have Rail Road
communication with the large tract of
country which lies west and northwest
of US. We must have Rail Road to
bring the grain, -four, lumber, shingles
and manufactured articles generally, here
for shipment. We are favored by our
geographical situation No place upon
the lake has better All that it is ne
cessary is the enterprise and public spirit
to take hold of the work and push it for
ward towards completion. We. cannot
expect to derive any benefit from
that which nature has provided for
us, unless a little effort is made
by our citizens to improve upon it.
One or two men cannot do it all. 1t
needs a joint and cordial effort from all
of our citizens, and especially by the own
ers of real estate and merchants, who are
mostly interested. No petty personalities
should govern the action of any one,
where so much is at stake, and the future
prosperity of our village is depending up
on it. Let the common good and welfare
of our town be for once foremost in the
minds of our citizens The great benefit
to be derived from Rail Road In the di-
rection indicated above is well known and
admitted by all. Then let us not sit
down and only talk about it, but also act.
We believe the time for action has arriv-
ed. Our neighboring cities are putting
forward almost superhuman efforts in OBJ
tanning Rail Road communications
through to the Mississippi. IF nothing
is done within short time, we shall be
cut off from every point which it is of real
importance TO obtainRailRoa connections
with, and the golden opportunity lost for
ever. The Doty Island and Superior Land
Grant Road has every prospect of being
commenced at an early day. This road
will be of immense benefit to our Village,
unless it should fall into the hands of a
monopoly which has no interest here,
and consequently would not work for our
prosperity, and which we believe will not
occur. If the matter is properly brought
to the notice Of eastern capitalists. and
the great advantages pointed out, which
will make it paying road, the money
needed to complete the road from here
to Menasha would be readily advanced.
We hope that our citizens will take hold
aud see if something cannot be done to
again commence work on this much need
ed public enterprise.
