Another Fire In Chicago.

Chicago was visited Yesterday by another FIRE.
The buildings destroyed were all wood and were
occupied by the poorer classes The loss will lie
heavy, and there will be great suffering among
those who have been deprived OF their homes
aud all their earthly goods.
The fire started IN the hay depot of the Chi
ergo, Burlington and Quincy Railroad Com
pany at Newburg street and the railroad crJss-
ing in the west division.
The locality where it originated is built up
Of almost entirely wooden houses, mainly dwell
iDgs Of the smaller class, and the lire must
have inflicted a great amount OF damage upon
the families living in that quarter, many OF
whom are Of the poorer class. y
There was coutlEucd excitement among all
classes of people. The locality Of the fire aud
The direction OF the wind were nearly the same
as those of the great fire Of two years since
Many Of the people living on the line OF the
fire packed up their household possessions and
removed them to places OF greater safety.
The point where tie fire started Is about
half a nile yearly south from the POINT where
the great FIRE OF October, 1871, originated.

The Yellow Fever.

New ORLEANS. Sept. 1.-THE Shreveport
Times this morning says the epidemic exhibits
little change, and that the deer case IN the num-
Der of new cases is greatly owing to want of
material. The number of deaths Is fearful to
contemplate. The mortality is beyond prece-
dent, and it looks as if but comparatively lew
will get well. Thus far but very few have got
about, while some lingcr along between life and
death. In some few instances whole families
have been swept out Of existence in the short
space of a week
The sudden change in the weather last Sun
day night sent scores - their beds, which ac-
counts for the large number of iDtcrments in
the last day or two. 10 the language OF one
of the New Orleans physicians they dropped of
Ike sheep dying with the rot Medical treat
ment Of the most skill!ul kind does not appear
to do any good in a great many cescs, whereas
in great many Others temporary rellct afforded

Our stores are all closed, aud all our dwell
ings turned into hospitals. In fact Shreve
port is one great hospital, one great charue

The Times publishes death record. That
journal says tile numb.r OF lnterments since
the first of September sums up 226. The bum,
Der is estimated yarious : at from 900 10 500.
The general super intcndent OF the Western

graphs President Orion to-day as follows: The

to be no abatement Of the disease except IRON

DR.. Harris, Register of the New York Board
of Health, makes what seems to be Il most sen
sible suggestion. He proposes that all the
sick should be removed from the city, and
that cncampments should be made beyond the
area of the pcsti!encc. Three hours; travc

1t is said that in the new counterfeit FIVE
hundred dollar Treasury note the Goddess of
Liberty has been honored by the engraver with
six toes Oh the foot which is most conspicuous.
An expert writes to the Washington Star that
this is an old dodge Of the counterfeiters They
purposely omit something or add something
which can be easily detected, and strike off a
few notes, which are put in circulation, with
the intention that they shall be discovered and
mnutely described in the counterfeit detectors
and newspapers As soon as the description is
made public the defect in the plate is remedied
and the market flooded with the worthless
notes of which there is no published descrip-
ton.

the planters of Cinco Villas wanted to adopt

breach the slave question until the Cuban depu-
