Destructive Fires in the West.

News has been received that the larg-

destroyed by fire. Manistee is on the
east coast of Lake Michigan, has 10000
inhabitants and is one of the greatest
lumber producing towns in the State.
There is no telegraph station within ~
miles.
The news from St. Clair and Huron
counties, of this date, is of the most dis
couraging character All of that portion
of the State east of Saginaw Bay and
north of a point forty miles above Port
Huron, has been completely swept by a
fire. A number of persons have perished,
and it is feared we have not heard the
worst. The villages of Forestville, White
Rock, Elm Creek, Sand Beach, and Huron
City are entirely destroyed. Rock Falls
and Port Hope are partially destroyed.
WINDSOR, Canada, Oct. 70.

Inquiry among Chicago insurance COM

hundrad millions of dollars, and of this
vast sum fully ene-half was insured by
Eastern companies.
The outlook is black one. Already,

has been very heavy. A whole wagon
load of dead bodies was carried through
Wabash avenue Wednesday evening, but
nothing could be learned as to the precise
manner of their death. 1t is said by
some to have been the result of an explos-

caused by falling walls.

Dexter---A Card from MIR. Bonner

To the Editor Of the E0ening Express:
| have observed in your paper para
graph stating that certain citizens of Mill
waukee offer to make bet of $4,000, if
Dexter will trot on their course. This
proposition is absurd on its face, as every
body knows 1 never allow my horses TO
trot for money; but even if l were going
to trot for money, certainly would not
do it on track like the Milwaukee track,
where a quarter of mile is out of sight
of the judges. You might as well talk
about trotting a horse on pitch.dark
night, where nobody could see whether
the horses trotted or ran. But while do
not bet, [ am ready, as have previously
offered, to pay $4,000 for the mere priv
iIege of seeing any horse equal Dexter's
best great performance, when he trotted
a mile to a road wagon in 2:21 3-4.
Another absurd report is the one that
Dexter was lately beaten on Harlem Lane
one Sunday morning. In the first place,
[ never drive or even travel on Sunday,
and Dexter never was on Harlem Lane in
his life on Sunday. Moreover he never
WIS beaten on Harlem Lane any day.
Who speaks next?
