Rumor prevails, and by some is believed
that Henry J. Ullman the banker, was
murdered instead or haYlng Oeeh SUI,
/ located by the FIRE. His body was found
near his banking house, which he had
/ evidently Just left, with his money and
/ yaluables in his arms.
There has been some unpleasantness
/ for day or two, in regard to tho manage
mont of the contributions, relief fund etc.
/ The old unpleasantness between the
mayor and common council, has broke
| out anew. At the meetings OF the COM
mitees from Cincinnati, Louisville, st.
Louis, indianapolis and other cities have
been held during yesterday and to-day in
which there has been considerable plain
talk. They finally resolved not 10
have their purposes misunderstood tc
secure assurance that these contributions
Hereafter should be properly disposed Of,
The object has been 70 leave the funds in
the hands of the mayor and citizens
well known TO the country at large for
ability and integrity. To meet this view
thorough Organization WAS effected this
evening, consisting of the old established
sOciety--the Chicago Relief and Aid society
assisted by prominent citizen. All bills
are to be audited by the executive COM
mittes of that society, consisting of seven

the people elsewhere: So far as prRetics-
bic, we suggest that money be remitted,
as with that we can buy tho articles which
from time to time we most need. All
funds collected elsewhere should be re-
mitted, directed or held subject to the or

funds already deposited in other cities
will be drawn upon orders or drafts of the
