A RUSH THROUGH ONE OF THE CHI.
CAGO TUNNELS-FEARFUL SCENE.

A Tribune correspondent at Chicago
writes: One of the most dramatic and
impressive scenes of the fire, not yet re-
corded, was the flight through the new
La Sale street tunnel under the river
during SUNDAY night. 1t was about
two o'clock when this strange hegira be-
gan, and in ten minutes 1t became flu
rious route. The bridges on both sides
were on fire, and the flames were
writhing over the decks of the briggs in
the river, and winding their fierce arms
of flames around the masts and through
the rigging like INDUSTRIOUS, luminous
devil-fish. The awful canopy of fire
drew down and closed over Water
street as the shrieking multitude rushed
for the tunnel, the only avenue of es-
cape. The gas works had already blown
up, and there was no light in any house
save the illumination which lighted on
ly 10 destroy.
But into the darkened cave rushed
pell- NELL, from all directions, the fren-
zied crowd-bankers, thieves, draymen,
wives, children-in every stage of un-
dress, as they leaped from burning lodg-
ings, a bowling, cursing, praying, wall
| ing mob, making their desperate dive
under the river. 1t was as dark in the
tunnel as it is in the centre of the earth
| perhaps darker. Hundreds of the flu
| gitiyes were laden with furniture
household goods, utensils, loaves o
bread and pieces of meat, and their rusf
through the almost suffocating TUNE
was fearful in the extreme. The!
knocked each other down, and thu
strong trod on the helpless. Nothing
was heard at the mouth of the cavern

and anguish. Several came forth witt

CHIcAGo,s ACCOUNT OF STOCK.

II Is not so bad after all. The Chica-
60 Tribune takes the first opportunity,
after the smoke has cleared away, 10
Gum up briefly the totals of the losses.
By these will be seen, that while the
conflngration was abitterly devastating
one in some sections of the city, come
thing more than embers is left. It's
account of stock is made as follows:
Our columnshave been so extensively
occupied during the past week with re-
ports of the enormous losses of life and
property in the late ire that there is
some danger that the damage sustained
will be overestimaTed. True, VIC have
seen $500 acres in the most central por-
ton of the city swept bare. 10000
buildings destroyed, and 100000 per-
sons rendered homeless, the total Pc
euniary loss being not less than $780,
100000; but we have still great deal
left. We may roughly estimate the sit
uation as follows:
Above $1,000 have left the city /; pop
ulation remaining 100000.
Five grain elevators were burned, l.
100000 bushels of grain; leaving us
with eleven grain warehouses intact,
containing 100000 bushels.
One-haIf of our stock of pork pro-
ducts were burned up, with the same
| proportion of flour.
OF lumber, 100000 feet were burn
ed; the stock remaining is 100000, O0O
| feet.
OF coal $4,000 tons were burned up
we have 1900 tons on hand.
Our stock of leather was decreased
one quarter, the value of that burned NJ
being $1,000.
The greater portion of the stocks Of
groceries, dry goods, and boots anc
shoes were burned up, with more thar
one-half the ready-nade clothing; bu
the quantities destroyed were scarcely
equal to more than three weeks suppl!
and are now being rapidly replaced.
Not more than 10 per cent of the cur
rency was destroyed by the fire; w
have $4,000 houses left standing, an'
our real estate could not burn up.

CLOUDS OF FLAME.

II
We had a call from Mr.. Blake, OF
Depere, on Saturday afternoon. MT.
Blake has been over large extent OF
territory, and his experience Is gencr-
al one. The unanimous verdict OF the
most sensible of those who passed safe-
iy through the fiery ordeal, whether at
Peshtigo or other points, IS confirmed
by Mr.. Blake's investigation, Is that the
fire came from the air above moro than
from the earth. The fro swept along
in detached clouds. burned with tor
nado like fury. These clouds of ire
hot as furnace blast-wonld be swept
along in waving. masses OF different
sizes. One man describes one of these
as of about forty feet in size each way
Whatever he saw it touch. the object,
tree or house, wilted rightdown. These
clouds of fire usually touched the tops
of the tallest houses first, when the
buildings would burn down just as
though saturated all over with Kerosene.
Such an experience was never before
known. 1t seemed as If the air was
charged with these clouds of fire. Mr..
Donkersley, who was in Chicago during
the great fire, informs us that the fire
there operated in a similar manner.
The heavy roofs of the largest build
ings would sway upwards, waver to
and fro as if by some great conflict be-
tween the elements, when they would
fall with a crash. The fire is described
as a "heu.Jire," melting down brick,
stone and iron the moment it touched
them! Fire-proof buildings withered
at touch! How do you explain this
new phenomenon of fire? We do not
attempt it. We simply state the facts
wiser heads than ours must furnish s
solution of this mysterious, alarming
fatal visitation. That Il was no ordina,
nv fire which caused these great calam
| tiles, no one who has ever passed
through the ordeal seems to question

SIS6uLAR Poison CAsE.-Twelye wears
ago Barnabee Wagner, a soldier or
1872, married girl not out of her teens,
while he had reached his three-score
and tan. They have lived at Upper
SanduskY. Ohio, since the date of their
marriage, apparently happy; but IL
seems she had tired of him of late. and
formed plot with her brother. Robert
Castor, to get rid of the old man.
They engaged a travelling doctor, NAM
cd Tooney, to do the work, agreeing to
pay him $500 therefor. Tooney pro-
cured some strychnine. and Wagoner's
wife made some bread and milk sop for
the old man, he being sick. The doctor
put the poison into il. 1t was given to
Wagner on the morning of September
| 81, and in the evening he was dead.
The $500 not being forthcoming, the
| doctor got very angry and threatened
to expose the deed. This did not bring
the money. Friday morning he gave
information TO the proper official, and
gave himself up. Mrs. Wagner and
her brother were arrested and the trio
are now in Jail. The affair created
| great excitement in the neighborhood,
all the parties connected with it being
of responsibility and worth considera-
bic property.

OUR REPRESENTATIVE.

The evident satisfaction with which
the announcement of the name OF Capt.

all the leading questions of the day,
