A Day In Chicago Since thG Fire.
From the Toledo Blade.

From the Toledo BlAdO.
Ed. BLADE:- left Toledo On the
8 p. N. tram, reaching Chicago at 7:20I
A. NJ, at 22d street, stopping here, where
a small coal office and lumber oftlce an
swer for depot, with all out doors for a
baggage room. Two squares from here,
on the corner OF Wabash avenue and 22d
street, is the Avenue House, a very large
and aristocratic boarding house but for
onedollar meal our party was furnished
with the best of accommodations. AT
Rowland d WoolfoIds livery stable
near by, we hired q splendid carriage
and team tor Sc an hour--roCm for five,
beside the driver. Stared at 8 A. NJ,
and after drive of twenty minutes,
on Wabash avenue we cane to the
beginning Of The great fire. We continued
our drive until p. M. not going over
the same ground twicebuta few squares
The complete ruin and devastation Is be-
yond the power of man to describe. Only
visit such as we have made to day, can
give any one an impression or even con-
cepiion OF what loss the people of Chi
cago have met with. You can form some
idea Of the extent and amount of ground
burnt over, when We tell you that the
distance is at least five miles long by
over an average OF one mile wide--this
makes over 5000 acres-160 acres
10 good sized farm. Think OF 90
farms OF 100 acres each being built upon
almost every loot of 1t. with the finest
stores, ware houses, dwellings, &c. thai
the United States could boast Of, and
you have an idea Of what has been 10
duced TO ashes. No building remains
4 lexctpt one which will have its HISTORY
told 30 often that will not speak oft,
in fact nothing remains. The materia
that the buildings we're constructed o
seems TO have melted down and settled il

rubbish, even on the sidewalks. Tn

On the @7th day OF August, 1871, WD.
Hannars started TO move his family 10
Illinois, and near Miller's Mil, In 6tod-
dard county, he was waylald and she's
by a man supposed TO belong to the Ku.
Klux. He approached Hammers with
revolver in hand and demanded his
name, which Hanners gave him. He
said "YouIe the man I'm hunting"
and with an oath said "l will kill you
for saying you will shoot the Ku- Klux,"
and fired, the shot taking effect In the
check bone near the eye. Hammers said
II am dead map,'' and the assassins
LETT. ThCIoiawcre three of them. The
wounded inan then made his way back
home through the woods, during the
night, and then sent for doctor to
dress his wound, which was not Of fatal
character. The doctor took Hammer
home with Kim, and as he (the doctor
was a Republican, the Ku.Klux had, as
they said, a good excuse TO pay HIM
visit and, in Ku'Klux language, "clesn
out the whole business" On the 3ln
of August, about 4 O'Clock =. NJ,
squad OF Ku-Klux in full uniform
marched mp to the doctors gate and
was out in the yard nc the time and ran
for the house, the Ku. .Klux firing at him
as he ran. He made his escapo into the
house. The firing awakened Hammer,
who was asleep. He had so far re-
covered as to be able to use gun, and
himself and the doctor and his son com.
menced firing at the Kr.Klux, who had
by this time got inside of the yard, and
the fight became general around the
house Tor short time, when the Ku-
klux retreated, leaving three of their
number dead and two badly wounded
In the yard. The doctor has largo
family OF children, rot one of whom
were hurt 10 the least. '~H.,
The doctor above mentioned was ap.
pointed one of the Judges Of the court
at the close Of the war. There have
been several statements of the affair pub
lished, but none of them are correct that
l have seen.
The KuKlpx since their defeat al the
doctors seem TO have quieted down.

REAL EsTATE TITLES,

o. One of the most serious losses Of the
Chicago Fire is the destruction of the
Real Estate Records which are hOpelessly
gone. The journal says In regard TO
this; ,.yo .,irtaiL ,tf.gs.a g .ri ...t,....
All the records OF deeds aud mortgages
are destroyed. This includes all tho real
estate not only in Chicago, but in Cook
county, with Its numerous suburban towns.
Fortunately the abstracts OF title In the Of
fee OF Shortall & Hoard, Conveyancers, arc
known to be safe, There is great hope that
when the vaults are opened at the other ab-
stract offices, the record books which are
intended TO be perfect copies OF every real
estate transfer In the county are safe. There
are several Of them, aud 1t would be strange
II some OF them beside the one already ex-
amined, are not safe, A leading MEMBER Of
the Chicago bar gives II as his opinion that
the title TO all the property in the c0nnty
can be re-established by means Of theSeab-
stracts. The Legislature will probably pass
some enabling act to cover the case. As TO
the value OF real estate, 1t Is Impossible TO
divine where the future business center will
be. The latter VIII depend upon the loea-
tion selected by the leading business houses
which are already In consultation.
