AFTER THE FIRE.
CHICAGO, Oct. 9-The south side of the city,
where since the fire the residents have been de
pending upon oil and candles, will soon be sup
piled with gas from the north side, which will
be run in pipes through the LaSelle street tun.
mel. One Of the engines in the water works,
which had been destroyed was set in motion
Tuesday night to supply the south division with
water, and to-day the west and south divisions
will be supplied with water for practical pur-
poses. Every day brings encouragement that
the city will be rebuilt on the very grounds of
the present ruins. The bank depositors have
every feeling of confidence in the banks. No
difficulty whatever has been experienced in ne
gOtiatng bills on New York houses either at
sight or time at twenty-five cents per one thou
sand dollars. During the past few days the
mayor has revoked between one and two hun
bred saloon keepers licences, for violation of
an order lately issued by his honor, regulating
the sale of spirits, and requiring an early closing
of all saloons. All the daily papers published
before the fire have resumed publication in some
shape or other. Business in the board of trade
has been fairly resumed and shipments of grain
for the past few days have been very heavy
The number of dead bodies recovered, SO far,
number one hundred and thirteen. 1t is be-
lieyed many more will yet be found among the
ruins Of hotels and other large buildings.
Six new steam fire engines arrived last night
from New York. No further apprehension is
felt concerning safety from fires. There have
been many false reports circulated in regard to
the city and county debt These reports stated
that the city debt was $40, 100000. The entire
county debt will not exceed five millions. VIM.
s. johnson, owner of two hundred lots in Mil
waukee avenue, offers them, rent free, for three
years, for the purpose of erecting cheap houses
for the homeless. Mrs. Leroy, Of Dekoven
street, in whose barn the fire originated, pro-
nouuces the story false that the fire occurred
ewing to carrying a kerosene lamp into the
stable. She was in bed asleep when the fire COM
menecd.
The Illinois house of representatives yester
day passed the supplementary warehouse and
Chicago exemption bills, both important relief
bills for Chicago. The first real estate transac-
ton Of any magnitude since the fire, was made
this morning. ii. G.. Himsdale sold I. b BryOn
lorty-two feet on Dearborn place by eighty-two
feet in Randolph street, in the burnt district for
$4,000. Hnsdale bought the property, year
ago, for $4,000.
Business has assumed a tangible character on
Wabash and Michigan avenues. Immense guam
ties of new goods are arriving. Money matters
are quiet The Illinois senate to-day passed
bill, which had previously passed the house, as
Suming the lien held by the Chicago Illinois and
Michigan canal.
Judge w. w. Farwel has sent communics-
ton to the board of trade, proposing to erect a
building at the corner Of Market and Washing
ton streets, with room ninety feet square,
which he gives to the board, rent free. The offer
was accepted.

Ecclesiastical.


BALTIMORE, Oct. 19.-Iu the Episcopal con-
Ycntion, the committee on canons reported in-
eXpedlent TO amend the canon relative to mar
rage and divorce; also, Independent to create
the office OF sutiragan bishop. A minority re-
port tavors new canon on the latter subject
Both were tabled. Rev. Dr. Meade, of Connect.
cut, from the joint committee on the ritual re-
ported a canon recognizing, on the part of this
church, no other law of ritual than it has itself
accepted and provided, viz: First, the Book of
Common Prayer, with the offices ordnal APP
pended, as COnStitutOually amended; second
the canOnS OF the church of England in use i'm
the American provinces before 1888, and not
subsequently superseded, altered or repealed nv
general or diocesan legislation.
Concerning ritual observance, the administra-
ton OF law appertains to the ordinary. whose
decision will be held as a settlement OF the cues
non, except that contradictory decisions Shall
he subject to revision by bishops A resolution
was also presented, providing for Joint com
mttee OF three bishops, three presbytes and
three laymen, to report at the next convention,
what portion OF the canons of the Church Of
England Of 1903 were in use in the American
provinces in 1889; how they have been modified
or repealed, and whether any portion requires
such action.
An amendment was offered, that the above
cannot 20 into operation until after said report
be acted upon by the general convention. The
whole subject was assigned to tomorrow. The
canon is understood to have been written BY
Bishop Nottingham, and adopted by the en-
tire JOINT committee. message was received
from the house Of bishops, that they had
adopted the New York Bible Socety's edition of
the Common Prayer Book as the standard
edition, and provided for the custody of the
stereotype plate thereof also adopted resolu-
tons that the fund for the relief of widows and
orphans of deceased clergymen, and of aged
intirm or disabled clergymen, be recommended
to the generous sympathies of the whole church
The committee on canons reported an amend
ment to canon u, to prevent alienation of build
lngs aud grounds to parties or corporate bodies
OF congregations no longer in accordance with
the doctrine, discipline or worship of the church,
The amendment grows from the Cheney matter
at Chicago. communication was received
from the rector Of Grace church. Rome, Italy
asking legislation giving congregations worship

Brazil.
Late News.

New YORK, Oct. 19.-From late files of Bra
lillian journals are cleaned the following facts
concerning recent legislative action in Brazil on
the slavery question: One Of the bills, which
met the greatest opposition, appropriated eight
million dollars to be used to free about a million
and half of slaves. The ground Of opposition
was the fact that this sum of money was too
small, one of the senators saying that, by this
bill, only ten thousand slaves per annum could
he freed, \ bill was finally passed appropriate
ing much larger sum, while pay for each
slave is put at a very low figure. BY the plan
adopted emancipation will be gradual. Only
children born before the passage of the act, on
the 9th Of last month, will be at once liberated.
1t is thought the whole number Of slaves in the
empire will not eXceed'a million and half, A
majority of these are in the southern part of
the country.
The sugar interest will not suffer from the
change. 1t is doubtful about the results in the
coffee regions, where the slaves are more numer.
Gus. As the emperor lavors emancipation, the
passage of the bill by the legislative branch of
the government practically delivers Brazil from
the evils of slavery.
