CHICAGO, October u.-No disturb
n c has occurred during the night.
A great deal OF suffering occurred
among the people on Monday night,
who we're obliged to camp out on the
prairie on the northern extremes of
the city, and q number of deaths re-
suited in consequence OF the exposure,
fright and fatigue endured. The COM
mittee in charge, in the name Of the
CITY, impressed omnibuses, carriages
and wagons of every kind, and set
them to work carrying provisions to
them, as also water, and bringing them
into the churches and s~choolhouses on
the south and west sides, where they
have been made comfortable, and last
night il was believed that very little
suffering existed.
With the assistance Of General Sher-
idan and Colonel Forsyth the various
commissions have been organized and
set to work carrying out their various
duties very quickly and effectively.
An immense quantity of provisions
have arrived, many carloads being
! cooked ready for distribution, and the
| committee have telegraphed to several
| places to stop sending In more at pres
ent. Twenty carloads OF provisions
and ten thousand blankets came from
Cincinnati, accompanied by seventeen
Of her citizens.
WASHINGTON, October 1l.-General
| Sheridan t~elegraphed to Belknap last
night that the lire "here last night
and to-day has destroyed almost all
that was very valuable in this city ;
there Is not a business house, bank or
hotel left. The most of the best part
of the city is gone. without exaggcra-
ton. All the valuable portion Of the
city is in ruins. l think not less than
100, 900 people are homeless, and those
who have had the most wealth are
now poor. 1t seems to be such q ter
rible misfortune that 1t may with pro-
priety be considered a national Ca
lamity.o -

1t is claimed for this product that the~plates
present advantage to the makers Of fin

lied plates, as they can be annealed as
much as requisite during the process of
stamping, without injury to the brass or
copper coating; and that they also are
superior to sheet copper or sheet brass, be-
cause artlcles manufactured from them are
