As the good suffer with the bad on
many occasions. so in this instance, the
bad have suffered with the good, and
probably that section of the city would
not have been purified of its slum so eff
fectually and thoroughly in the next fifty
years to come, as it was this evening in
the space of THREE hours So. on the
whole, Chicago las not only had another
big conhagration, but great publication
as well, and will, in the end, be much
better for it, by securing in the district
burned, wider streets and Substantial
buildings compared with those lost.

Another Destructive Fire in
Chicago.
Loss Probably ss,0O0.O0O.

On Tuesday at AZ P NJ. fire broke
out in q paint shop on the conner OF
Twelfth and Clark streets, which threat
ened to destroy the city. like the destrnc
tive fire in 1871. After the fire had start
ed it increased in volume. and defed the
utmost efforts of the fire companies to
control it.
Its direction was northward and east
ward, leaping from homse to house and
from block to block, with rapidity that
almost paralysed the minds and the eff
forts of the weak.
The Geographic dispatches Wednesday
morning give the substance, without the
detail of the news.
CHICAGO, 2 40 A. M.-The fire is COM
pletely under cantrol, and it seems impos
sible that much further damage can be
DONE Three men have been killed on
Van Buren, street by falling walls, and
three steamers and hose burned. Large
patrols of police are protecting property
from swarms of thieves.
The limits of the fire are as follows :
On Clark street, No $50, about 18th; on
North Clark, about Polk, on Dearborn
South limit, near 18th street; North limit,
Harmon court; Northern limit, between
Jackson and Van Buren,, on State street
Southern limit, and Harmon Court the
Northern limit, nearly to Jackson; Third
and Fourth avenues, are burned nearly
their whole length. The fire burned a
number of houses on Michigan avenue,
but has not damaged that street to any
great amount. Some twenty blocks are
burned.
The loss is variously estimated at from
81, 0O0, 900 TO $4,000, 900, which is covered
by about two-fifths insurance, divided
among numerous companies.
The following are some Of the largest
losses: Jewish Synagogue. $4,000
Quinn Chapel, $4,000; Adelphi, Theater,
$75.00o st. James Hotel and furniture,
$4,000; Postoffice, $50, 900; First Bap-
list Church, e10c, 600; Church of the
Messiah. e25O0o; Olivet Baptist Church,
colored, 81, 900
| A number of serious casualties are re-
ported, and several persons were doubt
less lost in the flames. The fire is now
completely under control and no further
anxiety Is felt for the safety OF property
on the north side of the city.
The losses entailed by this fire IN the
destruction and removal of goods and
furniture ere in all probability as great as
the actual loss of buildings and property
destroyed up TO $50, for it takes but y
modemte-sized fire nowadays to set
Chicago people to clearing out their
goods and chattels, and about every store

Prize Fight.

There was an exciting contest Tor a
prize of $50 last Tuesday evening, just
East of this city, by a trial of muscle and
skill, in tie manly art Of self defen Sc.
The contestants were Barnes, of Ply
mouth, and - of Argos. The match
was made up in town, and then the par
ties went out of the corporation to avoid
any unpleasantness with the Marshall
The tire selected was about ~ o'clock.
Something over one hundred persons
went out 10 see the sport. The con,es;
took place in the road North of Mr. ST.
mons house. There were no seconds nor
referees. A ring was formed and the
the contestants went inside and pitched
in. They were soon on the ground roll
ing over each other, and striking wherev-
er they could get chance. Finally they
were parted by the crowd, after one of
them had cried enough; but it cannot be
aseertaired which one was whipped The
Argos man had one ear nearly bitten oil.
Both Of them were smeared with blood,
and booked as though they had been Sc
verely punished. If there is anything
manly in bull dog courage, they are both
heroes. We know nothing of the men,
do not know them when We see them ;but
it is certain that Plymouth, and Marshall
county can do better without them than
with them The chances are that they
will both have 10 leave the county very
soon, if they wish to avoid the punish
ment they are sure to receive for their
violation OF law, and the bad example they
have set. Justice is sometimes slow, but
it is pretty sure to come at last, and we
are certain that there is that sense of pro-
propricty and humanity in this communi-
ty, that will not tolerate such brutal con-
duct in our midst unpublished.

The Tweed Habeas Corpus.
Inccess snt p ~ 81

New YORK, December 2-Arguments on
the writ Of habeGs corpus granted to VIII
liam M. Tweed were heard to-day before
Judge Barrett in the Oyer and Terminer
Court-David Dudley Field and ex-Judge
Comstock speaking In behalf Of the prisoner,
and District Attorney Phelps for the people.
The prisoner being unwell, he was not
brought TO court. r.
The District Attorney made a motion to
ouash the writ on the ground that there was
40 question as to the court " hich condemned
the prisoner being properly organized and
having an inherent jurisdiction in criminal
cases, and it was not fora judge Of no higher
jurisdiction to review its proceedings.
There was neither law, necessity, nor prece.
dent for such course, and therefore he
asked that the writ be quashed and the pri-
soner remanded and left to his remedy OF
error.
For the prisoner it was argued shat error
was slow proceeding, and the prisoner
challenged the jurisdiction Of the court to
try the cause or pass the first of the Dumer-
GUS sentences or any OF the subsequent ones.
The first term had expired and the fine was
psid, and the prisoner challenged thej urisdic-
ton of the court or its competency to pass the
second sentence, and also questioned the
mode of empanneling the jury and their
competency to sit. These were jurisdic-
tional questions properly arising Under the
habeGs corpus.
Judge Barrett, in deciding, pointed out
that though there is a provision maae Tor IN.
