OF iEAR.-The Chicago papers all give
an extended history of The city between

Oced" wo cOndense some of the leading
facts: e
Ihe total cost of buildings which hayo
Deen erected in the burnt district ia
SI5, ,558.200. Thirteen new hotels have
oeen completed, or are now in course of
construction. Six Chicago elevators.
nn1 naVlng an aggregate capacity of 2,475.
1uV ~ bushels OF grain, and containing
1,oo9, 395 bushels of grain, were de-.
stroyed by the fire. -Four have already
arisen in place of the old, and the fiji
Will be ready by November l. The
storage room in Chicago elevators in the
i9ll of 1871 was 1875, 900 bushels.
Not only has this been regained, but it
nas been absolutely increased within the
Twelve months by fully 1000, 600 bushels.
In dry goods, the number of houses ia
aoout the same as O year ago; the volume
OF business is fully twenty to twenty-five
per cent. larger. The decline in real
estate was not permanent. On the con-
trary, estimating moderately, the in
crease.ln the gross valuation of the 2. 600
acres burned over has been not less than
nfteen per cent. in the past year. The
increase of the grain trade in the wear
under review is upward of eleven DER
cent. The total exceeds by 26, O0O 600
bushels the receipts Of 1870, and by
-, 10000 bushels the receipts of 1868.
the largest grain year previous to the

larger by 10000, 600 bushels than in anv
year before the fire, while oats, though
showing comparatively small increase.
are above the average Of the eight wears
previous to 1871. Iu boots and shoes
and kindred branches the number of
large houses is about the same. The in

HORRIBLE ExPERIMENrs-THE DEAD
BODY OF CONDEMNED MURDERER Sun.
JEorED TO THE ACTION OF E1Eorn1c1rY -
barclay, the young man who was hanged
at Columbus, Ohio, on Friday last. for n
most brutal murder, consented that the
students OF medical college in TINT
CITY could have his body for expert
mcntul purposes, and ten minutes after
IL was cut down, it was placed in q wagon
nnd driven rapidly to the college, where
powerful battery had been pluced in
position. for tho purpose Of trying tho
effect OF electricity as medium TO re.
store lie. at twenty-four minutes to l
O'CLOCK, SIX students cnrried Tho body
into the anatomical lecturing-room of
the college, where were assembled the
students aud all the prominent medical
gentlemen of the city. It was then
taken from the coffin aud placed upon
the operating-table. Tho pupils OF the
eyes were found to be diIated and the
lace discoiored. The body was stripped
or Its clothing, and at thirteen minutes
70 o'clock, thirty-seven minutes after
death, the students began operations.
Inc electrical instrument used was one
OF the most powerful known, consisting
OF SIX cups of Bunsen's battery attached
to Kltch's induction coil of the largest
size. 1t was operated by Prof. Menden-
nall, an eminent electrician, while Prof.
Wormly and Profs. Holderman and De.
mig conducted the experiment.
Two currents Of electricity were used
-one placed ut the lower extremity of
the BODY. and the other drawn along tho
arm, neck, face and breast. The effect
was wonderful; the eyes opened, the face
drew up as If in pain, the mouth jerked
TO one side, the arm raised as if to strike.
and the fist clenched. The limbs also
ra'sed' and the toes and fingers worked,
ana once the body almost turned to one
sue. ihe arms wore next laid bare and
current OF electricity introduced. The
wnote system seemed to respond, and
the movements of the body were at times
Vioient. at four minutes to 2 o'clock,
the electricity was removed, and faint ac-
tions OF the muscles could even then be
observed. The body was afterwards left
tiii ten minutes after 3. when the eectri-
CITY was again applied and the muscles
Oh Inc Dody stil! responded as before,
but with less force. The breast was then
opened, and current passed into the
heart, but it gave no RESPONSE. II wos
carried to the hands and feet, and nll re-
sponded US before. The heart was then
taken out and found hard as muscle and
full OF blood, tho lungs not congested,
the brain very healthy, free from any
congestion whatever. At eleven minutes
after o'clock electricity was again ap-
Piled, and good response was had; at
eighteen minutes after S faint response
was given, and at fifteen minutes to 6.
i've hours and thirty-6va minutes after
death, the strongest current that could
be applied failed to move q muscle. The
experiment exhibition was then brought
to n close. the crowd dispersed, and the
mutliated body OF John Barclay was re-
placed in its coffin.

says committee of the citizens of Gal

appeal to the family for permission to
remove the remains of the late gallant
general from Houston, for interment in
the cemetery at Galveston, with the OBJ
ject OF erecting handsome and appro-
pirate monument over them at the latter
place. This request hos been granted,
and therefore the project for their re-.
moval to Hollywood is at an end. The
people OF his adopted State have de.
termincd thus to honor the memory of
this brave soldier. By the side OF the
heroic Albert Sidney Johnson, whose re-
mains also repose in the soil of Texas.
he will sleep perhaps as calmly and be as
honored as in the bosom of his native

IHE TRIUMPH OF FRAUD AND CoRRUp-
TIoN.-Our State was the focus to which
were drawn all the means and appliances
by which Rndicalism has long MUM
tanned its sway-nll the machinery of
public corruption was put in motion.
But this was vastly augmented when the
State and, as they were always insisting,
the national issues required SUCCESS.
Ihey used tho names as we'll as the
purses OF the wealthy citizens, who were
content to barter good administration
ana honest government in State and city
for transitory triumph for their un-
worthy candidates. The Federal Go
vernment made itself party to the con-
test, with oil its resources, and President
Grant, cheek by jowl with Simon Came
ron, appeared on the scene, and, from
tho balcony OF the Continental Hotel.
made speech for Hartranftl This i'm
mense aggregate of political Influence
and corruption has wrung from manipu-
lated ballot-boxes the vote which we pre-
sent today. It docs not really repre.
sent the moral or political Judgment of
the people of Pennsylvania on the true
issues OF this campaign, but we give it
rs it comes to lis.
The most serious evils of this contest
fall upon our city. 1t ia now in the con
d,tIon that New York would have been,
If Tweed, instead of being driven from
power, had been, with the help of the
Federal Government. endorsed and ap-
panded and installed in some high

that would have given to his power, is
now given to our "ring." They take
fresh license and fresh start from this,
which is peculiarly their victory. The
acts pardoned in Yerkes and Hartranft
will soon be eclipsed by frauds and pecu-
lations that will be too great q burden
even tor the ong-suffsring people of
Philedelphia. For though what Demo.
Gratis and Reformers call fraud is now
