chung to her skirts. Two girls were clasped
il the arms of the father. Their shoute
were but family heard over the howl of the
winds and the roar of the flames. At last
the heat became 80 intense that the
woman was overcome, and fell to the
roof. The father wildly threw cut his
hands, and staggered, writhed and sank
by his wife's side. That was all of that
holocaust tragedy. We sickened at the
horrid sight, and hurried down to the
street, which by this time was pretty
well deserted. Then along the banks of
the lake we wandered, more like dead
than living men. We heard and saw
mourning and agony and suffering that
all the books in the world could not hold
an account of.
THE END OF HUMAN GHoUL.
Oneamong the thousand rumors that
were flying thickly about, and the wild
est it would seem it must be, was of the
sudden Vengeance that befel a bold thief.
Seeing the cashire of one of the banks
rush into his Office as the flames were
bearing almost upon the building, he
watched his exit. 1t was not long before
the official appeared with his arms full of
money packages and bonds, and no sooner
had he appeared than the thief Frustrated
him with a blow on the side of the head,
and grabbed portion of the treasure. A
policeman in an instant saw what was done
and grabbed the villain, who drew pis-
toll and shot the faithful officer through
the heart, and then sprang through the
excited crowd brandishing his pistol and
endeavoring to make good his escape
But the sight, with all the surrounding
circumstances, had maddened the by
ISLANDERS to frenzy, and they fell upon the
wretch like so many tigers, tearing him
limb from limb, aud literally disembowel-
ing him.
BUILDING BARRACKs-FEEDING THE
PEOPLE.
The Tines correspondent telegraphs
from Chicago that the city il still di50r
gauizad, but not disorderly. Stories tele-
Qraphed of an attempted inoendiarisn
and lynohing are pronounced by General
Sheridan to be fabrcatious, aud no sub
stantial case of such outrage eau be
| found, but the public mind is still excit-
able. The saddest sight in the city now
seen, is where the honseless thousands

chinery for relief ia still imperfect,
although the supplies are ample. Friday
the erecting Of barracks for the housoless
began in the open square at Ann and
Washington streets. Several of these
were completed, and u large number OF
families moved in. These barracks are
roush wooden structures, intended only
for shelter, and in them victims of the fire
can only burrow like so many beaste, but
they are saved from the inclemency of the
weather.
THE NEWSPAPERS.
The Times is the only leading news
paper which has not resumed publication,
and it Is said Mr.. Story does not resume
for some time. In the meantime his great
rival the Tribune, is reaping rich har-
vest, as there is an Unsuitable demand for
news, and it has almost exclusive posses
sion OF the field, as the Republican does
not yet amount to much. All papers are
greatly reduced in size, and bear no re-
semblanco to the handsome sheets they
were before the fire.

DESPAIR.

Isaw some women and children and
one man exhausted lay down in the gut
tiers to die in the hopelo-sness of despara-
ton. Others would seize and urge them
along. Smoke and cinders and fame and
scorching heat filled the air. Children
screamed in terror and begged for water.
Some would catch up water from pud-
dies near bydrants and moisten the
mouth. This is hell-fse y This is the
day of indgment!" This must be the
end of the world y were the ordinations

TIRE uAPLEss CHILDREN.

Tho mot pitiable sights were the 81 k
children, half dead, lying crouched on
the sidewalks, in many cases with barely
au7 covering on them. In Clark street
one instance occurred where two little
girls were Wing terror stricken cheek by
i1wl with their dead sister, whose re-
mains presented a narrowing spectacle.
She had been too late TO eecaFe from I'M
der a falling building, and had just been
extricated and lail By the little lacerated
forms of her aImest dead sisters. Men
were seeA carrying their families out Of
what trey considered danger, and depcs-
itiug their loads by the wayside. i hur-
ry aud rush would succeed, and when
the dieconsolate parents would return for
their off .pring, having been burnt out OF
house and home, they were nowhere to
bo seen. Instances such as these were to
be met with st every corner of the streetI
women running wildly about, shrieking
out the names OF their lost children, fear
ing lest they had got crushed under some
falling building, or been destroyed in the
seethiug fire.
