SUNDAY IN CHICAGo.-The few churches,
which are still open, have been crowded. The
sermons all turned upon the great calamity.
Many OF the pastors OF the destroyed churches
held services in the open air in front of the
ruins DIR. Rvder's congregation met in Wabash
avenue, and almost the entire congregation of
Unity church came together in Dearborn street,
at the call of their pastor, Rev. Robert COlYer
The exercises were simple and touching, con-
sisting merely OF a prayer and a hymn, and a
few words of manly sympathy and eXhortaton
from the warm hearted orator Street and side
walk were covered with men, women and chill
dren, who were moved some times to laughter by
the quaint humOr of the speaker, and some
times TO tears by his deep and earnest pathos
The day was clear and mild, and the October
sunshine fell softly on his gray hairs as he stood
in front of this once beautiful church, now
wholly in ruins, and talked to his people in
cheering way He said God would not ask of
them impOssibilities. The3calamitY was 50 vast
tnat the people were stunned and dumb. They
could not vet lift themselves up into thar
higher atmosphere they yet hoped to reach,
where they could thank God for this vista
ton. All this in good time they would hope and
pray for; but God would not demand this to.
day. He then referred, in plain and touching
language, to the terrible losses they had suffer-
ed, bur soon changed to the more hopeful as
poets of the case, showing how much they had
vet worth living for He urged them TO look
forward and not backward, and excited even
among those unfortunate people a mOmenary
burst of good spirits by his quietly humorous
description Of Lots wife, and what she came to
by mourning over her spoons and table-cothS
which were burned in Sodom. Every one must
now engage in the work of reconstruction. He
then briefly and modestly referred to himself
and his intentions. He would stay by his peo-
pie; he did not think they could find a cheaper
parson. He had preached one year for seventy
five cents, and could do it again if necessary.
He could support himself for the present by lee
turing, and, as last resort, he could still make
as good horseshoe as any blacksmith in Chi
cago. The audience dispersed, after singing n
hymn, greatly cheered and frightened by the
wholesome and helpful words of their preacher
and friend, who seemed to forget his own severe
losses in trying to console them for theirs

The SCENE IN THE TUSNEL.-0ne of the
most dramatic and impressive scenes of the fire,
not yet recorded was the flight through the new
La Sale street tunnel under the river during
Sunday night 1t was about O'Clock when this
strange hegira, began, and in ten minutes it
become furious route. The bridges on both
sides were on fire, and the flames were writhing
over the decks of the briggs in the river, and
winding their fierce arms of flame around the
masts and through the rigging like monstroIs,
luminous devi-tsh. The awful canopy of fire
drew down and closed over Water street, as the
shrieking multitude rushed for the tunnel, the
only avenue of escape. The gas-works had
already blown up, and there was no light in any
house save the illumination which lighted up
only to destroy. But into the darkened cave
rushed pell-mell, from all directions the freuzied
erowd-bankers, thieves, draymen, wives, chill
dren-in every stage Of undresS, as they had
leaped from burning lodgings, a bowling, implor-
ing, cursng, praying, waiting mob, MAKING
their desperate dive under the river, II was NJ
dark in the tunnel as il is in the center of the
earth, perhaps darker. Hundreds of the fnTi-
tiyes were laden with furniture household Goods
utensils, loaves of bread and pieces of meat, and
their lush through the almost suffocating tunnel
was fearful in the extreme. They knocked each
other down, and the strong trod on the helpless.
Nothing was heard at the mouth of the
cayernOus prison but a muified howl of rage and
anguish Several came forth with broken limbs
and terrible bruises, as they scattered and re-
sumed their flight under the blazing sky to the
northwest.

An Old Bachelors Will-The Bulk Of
an Estate of 800, 200 to His Six
From the New York Sun.


An old bachelor of Passaic Village,
N. j., named Marsh, died recently,
leaving an estate valued at about $500,
600, including eighty acres of choice
land near Passaic, and six horses. His
last will and testament is a curious
document.
Nearly all of his property is be-
queathed to his horses. The farm of
eighty acres is set apart for their ex-
elusive comfort and support, and $500
year to each is also provided for
their additional welfare; 81, 200 year
is appropriated to recompense man
whose time and skill shall be devoted
to their care. To clinch the provisions,
the executors, who are DR.. r. Tereunc
and New York gentleman, are be-
queathed the sum of S10,0 each, to
see that the requirements of the will
are carried into effect. This state of
things is to continue for ten years,
when the farm is ordered to be sold. A
poor Hollander working on the place
and one or two others, are beneficiaries
to q small amount. but a large portion
of the legacy is left to the horses. A
poor boy, to whom he was much at
tached, is handsomely provided for
He had no near relations, and the dis
tant ones do not come in for their
share until the specified ten years have
passed
