Ex-Leut- Gov. Dross Of Illinois, arrived IN
New York city from Chicago. Friday He is
suffering grestly from fatigue and the reaction
consequent on the excitement Of the last few days
The Governor is well known as one Of the prin-
cipsl proprie;ors Of the Chicago Tribune. With
regard to the probable loss from the fire he says
sit is impossible to say anything certain. saw
an estimate the other day which wac based on
the tax list of the city which is over S5OO,OOO,-
600, and the writer is informed from that list
that the loss cannot exceed %, 100000. Now,
according to cur system Of taxation IN Illinois,
this city tax list never shows anything like the
proper amount of properly in the city. To my
knowledge houses having from $50 900 to S5O,-
900 worth of furniture in them are not rated at
more than $4,000 to $4,000. Stocks of goods
we're never valued among US at more than one
9Th or one-tenth OF their real value on the tax
lists. All our merchants had just filled their
stores with Fall and Winter trade stocks. From
these and other facts estimate the loss by the
fire at considerably over $500, 100000, and If
the damage by the depreciation Of real estate and
property and the loss Of business are considered,
the loss would in my judgment exceed s9O0,-
600, 600 Besides this, there are the family &C
cumulations of centuries, such as heirlooms. the
value of which cannot be estimated in money.
The collections of the Historical Society. includ-
ing the emancipation pr oclsmstion. were invsl-
usble and cannot possibly be replaced. The
Chicago Library possessed many costly works.
among which were the Records Of the English
Patent Office, 5000 volumes. The destruction
of the files of the Tribune lie an immense loss to
Chicago, and an irreparsble one to the Tribune.
