was the case Saturday night, spread with
terrible rapidity. Before an engine could
get on the road half the block was in
flames and burning furiously. The en-
tire department were soon on the grounds
and at work. For time it seemed prob
able they would succeed in confirming it
to four or five block. The wind was blow
ing freshly when the fire started, but in.
creased to gale and suddenly the flames
seemed to spread in every direction, be-
yond the control of the fire department.
AT 2 q. m, on Monday the fire was still
raging with increased fury, and had
spread almost with the velocity of the
wind, and had reached West Monroe
street, distance of more than mile from
where it started, and covers a breadth of
nearly half mile.
At 2.1O a. M, on Monday, the flames
ragged with increased fury in every d.
rection, and God alone could only save
the city from destruction. A fearful
panic prevailed all through the streets
where people were rushing to and fro
weeping and wailing. Brands from the
fire were blown across to the east side of
the river, and set some wooden buildings
on fire, directly adjoining the Chicago gas
houses. The flames spread in every d.
rection among the adjoining buildings.
The prospects were that the gas house
would be destroyed and the city wrapped
in darkness.
A terrible panic prevailed throughout
the city, and almost everybody, men, wo-
men and children were heard wailing in
every direction. 1t looked as if the whole
city might be destroyed. A large num-
Der of lives have been lost, but how many
cannot be known until the fire has been
arrested. The alarm bell commenced
ringing an upceasing peal, which was in
tended to call every sleeper from his bed.
The panic is increasing, and the people
seem almost crazy with alarm. Vessels
Is the river are on fire, and all in the
south river will probably be destroyed. A
raging, roaring peel of fire envelopes
in twenty blocks of the city. The
flames were within block of the tele-
graph Office, where this dispatch was writ
ten, and are sweeping onward like a
whirlwind, against which human efforts
are powerless, and it is impossible to tell
where it will stop.

day, spirit was manifested at once to re.
build the city and restore business.
A special meeting of the legislature
will be held to provide means for aiding
business men and furnishing employment
for the poor.
Fears are entertained that the desper-
ate distress of so many will create squads
of pillagers, and life will not be safe. To
prevent this, Gen. Sheridan is telegraph
ing for more troops, and special police
force has been organized by the citizens.
The only effectual remedy is to find en-
ployment for the thousands who would
work if they could.
The temporary Office of the Western
Union Telegraph Company is tbronged
by thousands who are anxious to advise
their friends of the arrangements made
by the post office authorities for sending,
receiving and distributing all mail mat.

LATER.
The Herald reporter furnishes the fol-
lowing:
Women and children are going around
the burnt district, vainly seeking for some
thing to satisfy their hunger. They ask
relief, but none is given. No one has pro-
visions or money. What provisions there
were in the city are now burned or eaten.
Some few people have enough to last them
day, but not longer.
Provisions have arrived from Detroit,
Cincinnati, Milwaukee and st. Louis, and
are being distributed as fast as possible.
Twenty-three dead bodies were taken
to the Station house on the North side.
At the present time it is impossible to
know who they are.
AS night comes the want of gas is
keenly felt; there are but few candles
and no water except what is taken from
the lake. Grave fears of outrages by
thieves on the west side is felt on every
hand. Gen. Sheridan, who has been hard
at work ell through the fire, is still call
ing for troops from different points to
keep order.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 10.
Private dispatches from Chicago say
that the fire is still raging in the northern
part of the city. Crowds in the streets
are making turbulent demonstrations, tax
ing possession of what they choose, and
entering houses and alarming the inmates.
There are but few soldiers in the city, but
are being hurried from differ
ent points.

The Great ConflagratiOn.

We give our space this morning to the
account of the great desolation caused by
the fire fend in Chicago. The entire
country is paralyzed by this awful cal
amity. A whole city has been swept
away by the fire. It's business houses,
banks, hotels, public buildings, news
paper offices, and shipping are all con-
ssmed. A hundred thousand people are
homeless, and are frantically crying for
food and shelter. An appeal for food
has gone forth from the authorities to the
whole country. Let us all heed the ap-
peal and send from our stores to help our
suffering friends But few Of us that
have not relatives, friends and acquaint.
ances that perhaps have lost their all
are homeless, shelterless and suffering the
pangs of hunger this morning. Let Il;
heed their piteous cry for help and lose
no time in forwarding our contributions
at once. The nearer towns and cities
will afford temporary aid, but that will
not be cufiloient, for many of them will
have nothing left.
To one who saw this great commercial
metropolis in all its beauty and business
enterprise, but fortnight since, these
scenes of devastation and suffering are ap-
palling in the extreme, and appeal with
more than ordinary force. 1t can hardly
be conceived that those fine blocks and
busy business marts are now in asher, and
the bright smiling faces of friends and
acquaiutances then in the full tide Of
prosperity seem so saddened and appeal
with such force as to almost unnerve one
osca at the distance of n thousand mile
away.
God grant that this suffering may meet
speedy relief, is ii e prayer Of millions OF
hearts this morning.

Bank RObber.

hlNDSOR, VIZ Ocl ~.
Chss. Barton, the Waterbury Bank rob-
Der, escaped from the custody of Sheriff
Brown on board the down mail at North
Hartland, VT, to-day. He was apparent
Iy so sick that on leaving Jail he was car

a couch in the saloon. As the train was
starting from North Hartland he jumped
out of the window, and lying fat with
the track was not missed until the train
reached Hartland. Sheriff Brown came
to Windsor and organized q pursuing
party. Detective squires has also gone

Horrible Details of the Great Fire.

DSts@ass w thc
CHICAGO, Oct. 10.
Mrs. Edsall, whose husband was muir
dered last week, and who was suffering
from illness, was carried away for pro-
lection to building which afterwards
was consumed, and it is feared that she
also persisted.
All the books and papers of the His
torical Society, including the original
copy of tho famous emancipation procla-
nation of President Lincoln, for which
the Society paid $4,000, were destroyed.
1t is feared that a large number of
children, the inmates of the Catholic Or
phan Society on State street were also
burned as many of them are missing.
On Chicago avenue father rushed up
stairs to carry three children away, when
he was over taken by the flames and per-
ished with them. The mother was after
wards seen on the streets, raving ma
nice.
In the same neighborhood a family of
five persons perished.
The list of such fatalities are very long,
and can only be fully verified after the
smoke is cleared.
There are hundreds of families On the
northwest side who saved no clothing,
but barely their lives. Among these are
the family of Perry Smith, formerly
President of the NoEthwestsrn Raiiroad
Company.

INCENDIARIEs SHOT AT SIGHT.

NEW YORK, Oct 100 p. m.
A dispatch from Gen. Palmer, vice
president of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company, elicits the following re-
liable response from Gen. Stager, Super
intendent at Chicago. A fire started in
a small building on 31st street, but was
speedily put out.
Incendiaries are busy, seven or eight
have been hung or shot at sight.

ORIGIN OF THE FIRE.

Late on Sunday evening boy went in
TO stable on Diskower street, near the
river, on the west side, to milk cow,
carrying kerosene lamp with him. This
was kicked over by the cow, and the burn
ing fluid was scattered among the straw.
This was the beginning of the great fire.
A single extinguisher on the ground or
activity of the police in tearing down two
or three shanties, would have prevented
the spreading of the flames, but the epgi-
neer was waited for, and when he ar
rived, the fremen, stupefed by their exer-
tons at the first fire on Saturday night,
worked slowly and clumsily, and their eff
forts were unavailing. The wind blew q
gale from the southwest, and rapidly the
flames shot from house to house, and I'M
til the district burned the night before
was reached.
Meanwhile the flames had crossed the
river north of Twelfth street, on the
south side, and made fer the brick and
stone business blocks, railroad depots and
manufacturing establishments. The full
extent of demage was realized for the
first time The fire department already
tired out worked like heroes, and the
mayor and city government, that had
rested, now began to exert themselves,
but the opportunity had been lost. The
time when a thorough organization could
have-biown up the building and prepared
for the emergency was neglected and it
was now fight for life. The wind blow
inga stiff gale had possession of the
flames and the beautiful buildings, Chi
cago's glory lay before them.
Harrison, Van Buren,, Adams, Monroe
and Madison streets were very soon
reached, the intervening blocks from the
river to Dearborn street On the East being
consumed. Three quarters of q million
dollars of brick blocks were consumed as
if by magic. 1t being Sunday, the pro-
prietors and employees were at home, ut.
terly unconscious Of what was transpir.
ing. None who saw the flames but SUE
posed it was the remains of Saturday
nights fire, and having confidence with
the Fire Department, were unconcerned.
But between II and 10 o'clock rumor
got abroad that the fire was in the busi
ness portion of the city. Now the people
commenced moving horses were brought
into requisition to take the proprietors
and others to the confagration. The

The FIRE continued to burn all last night
on the north side, but this forenoon is un-
der control. 1t is literally true to say
that there is nothing remaining on that
side, from the river north to Lincoln Park,
on the north and from the north branch of
the river, on west end to the lake. This
portion of the city along the main river,
except where there were business blocks,
was occupied by dwellings,.
Two-thirds of the population of this
district were Germans and Scandanavians.
These people are now homeless. Some of
them are in frame buildings on the north
west section, and others are on the prairie
without shelter.
Throughout the day yesterday renew
al of the fire on the west side was looked
for, change Of five degrees in that direc-
ton would have led to that result.

NEW YORK, Oct. III.
The fire drove the operators of the
Western Union Telegraph Company from
their temporary location at the corner of
Sixteenth and State streets, last night, at
II o'clock, They then removed to the
corner of Twenty secondhand State streets,
but were driven from that point at three
o'clock this morning. The fire has swept
down Wabash avenue and State street to
the suburbs. The whole southern por-
ton of the city is in ashes.

The Times Chicago correspondent tele-
graphed at l o'clock this morning from a
point in the vicinity of Chicago as follows ::
My associate in the city has been compell-
ed to abandon his post owing to the utter
impossibility to keep up telegraphic COM
munication. When he left the doomed
city of Chicago the southern portion was
threatened. In fact, SO great hold had
the flames obtained on the wooden build
ings in that vicinity that the women and
children are flying from their homes, panic
stricken, and recklessly abandoning their
household goods, it being impossible to
save even the veriest trife. He comes to
me Frustrated by the excitement through
which he has passed, and appears wholly
unable to properly describe the scenes.
As I have already telegraphed you, one
third of the citizens of Chicago are posi-
lively homeless and ruined. As I write
