THE CHICAGO FIRE.-The area ofterri-
tory burned over on the 18th was about
sixty acres or one fortieth only of that de-
wasted by the great fire of 1871. The to-
tai amount of property destroyed was
worth nearly five millions of dollars.
The loss of life was seven in all. Among
the irreparable and peculiarly unfortunate
losses by the fire was the destruction with
his residence of the extensive and very
valuable library of Mr.. j. Y. Scammon
By superhuman eXertions Mr. Scammon
rescued it from the confagration of 1871.
Tuesday night, he was absent from the
city, and it persisted unnoticed There
were not less than 10000 books on his
shelves, which represented the labor of col
lection of many years. The total amount
of insurance on property in the burnt dis
trict is now figured up as 1921, 29O, and
the estimated total salvage is 1882. $780,
leaving the net loss to the insurance com
panies, 81, 244,970. Mayor Collins of Chi
cago, in reply to offers of assistance from
Mayor Cobb of Boston, telegraphed that
there is no suffering beyond their means to
relieve that the damage to property is
greater in appearance than reality, and ex-
pressing n belief that the lesson of the fire
will be needed. and a thorough revision of
the fire ordinances and reorganization of
the fire department be ut once made to
prevent such fires hereafter.

The Pit.

The Tilton-Beecher investigating CON-
mittee is still at work. Mr.. Beecher, Mrs.
Beecher, Mrs. Tilton and Mr.. Wilkinson
have testified. 1t is said that Mrs. Tilton
denied any improper conduct with her on
the part of Beecher. Mr.. and Mrs. Tilton
have separated. Tilton on Monday eve
ming made his statement before the COM
mittee. We give an abstract of the docu-
ment. Either Theodore Tilton is forger
excelling all who have ever gone before
him, or Henry Ward Beecher is a lecher-
Gus, filthy, hypocritical old scoundrel
Frank Moulton and F. B. Carpenter &C,
companied Tilton to the house where the
committee was in session, and undoubtedly
knew what his statement was, and one o.
these men, Mr.. Moulton, was the man tc
whom Beecher's letters were addressed
Moulton has never had his character as
sailed and must have known whether Til
ton was telling the truth or not. If Tiltor
had been mixing Moulton up with lying
story, Moulton would hardly have accom-
panied him when he was about to launcl
it before the committee. This disclosure
if true does not change the morals of the
world, but it does rather jar ones conf
dence in the infallibility of human kind il
picking out a great and good man; and il
well, the fact is, it is pretty hard on the
reputation of human nature. There will
be many EXPLANATIONS of chow are the
mighty fallen" but that is not it; a bril-
liant intellect and heavenly speech were
thought to have had their home in a clean
man, and it has turned out they took fol
their abode dirty old fellow. Mrs. Til
ton appears beneath contempt
Mr.. Beecher if guilty of these crimes
should not be shielded by his wonderful
powers OF the height of his position; hu.
man law as well as divine should be no re-
specter of persons. If he is innocent his
accuser is worse than if he had been his
murderer

Observation-Disclosures is exc

Observation-Disclosures is excited
over an abduction case Two BOYS, sons
of Mr.. Ross, a merchant, were some weeks
ago, while in the street, enticed by stran-
gers into a carriage. The elder boy was
let go. but the rascals carried off the
younger one, and have offered to give him
up if Mr.. Ross will pay $4,000. This he
proposes to do to get his boy back, but
the community isawake to the dangerous
nature of the success of games like this.
The Ross case is rs far from solution rs
ever. A man named Christopher Wooster
was arrested, Wednesday night, on sus-
picion of being one of the parties who stole
the child, but, on being taken before the
elder son of Ross, who was enticed into
the wagon of the abductors, but subse-
quently let out, the boy could not identify
him.
A second case of kidnapping has oc-
CURED in Pennsylvania. The two little
daughters of Mrs. Robinson of Nicholson,
Wyoming county, have not been seen at
home since Monday, 18th, when the Orien-
tai circus exhibited there. The anxious
mother followed and overlook the show
at Dunmore, only to learn that the men
who had abducted her daughters had been
discharged, the day before, and no one
knew where they had gone. The police
of Scranton were informed and are track
ing the miscreants

The cool confession of Jesse POmeroy

The cool confession of Jesse POmeroy
to the murder of Katie Curran, and his il
lustration of the performance by diagram
of the cellar in which the atrocious deed
was perpetrated, completes the strange
history of this criminal phenomenon. 1t
seems clear that he was the victim of a
horrible monomania which he had not the
moral force or training to control. He
seems utterly devoid of sensibility, and to
delight in cruelty and slaughter for their
own sake. 1t is more than probable that
he received his phenomenal character be-
fore his birth, and has no more moral re-
sponsibility than young tiger.
His mother states that before his birth
she went frequently to the slaughter house
where her husband was butcher and
took particular delight in seeing him
butcher the sheep and cattle. When Jesse
grew old enough to hold a knife he was al
ways tjabbing it into pieces of meat in the
market 1t is from these facts that many
physicians think that he was marked by
his mother If this is true, then truth is
here at least as strange as fiction, for DR..
Holmes character of Elsie Venner, is as
wonderful as any ever imagined, and yet
doesn't equal this in things both horrible
and awful"

THE TNDIANS-The Government has de-

The INDIANs-The Government has de-
termined upon very aggressive policy
toward the Indians, and unless the order
Just issued is revoked the Peace Commits
sioners may find their occupation gone.
By most treaties the Government, has
agreed not to follow Indians upon their
reservation, even when committing depre-
dations. The consequence has often been
that the reservations are used as Il shelter
for crime Gen Phil Sheridan last week
asked for permission to follow depradating
bands onto their reservation, and punish
them there Gen. Sherman recommended
to the War Department that this permits
sion be granted Tho War Department.
after consultation with the Interior Depart
ment, has determined to change its policy,
and orders have been forwarded to Gen.
Sheridan recently, permitting him to
pursue and punish Indians upon their res
ervations, taking good care not to injure
the friendly Indians. There can be no
doubt that Sheridan will make vigorous
use of this permission.

There is printed at the end of the secre-
tary of the treasury's report list of all the
outstanding Indebtedness of the United
States, out of which the Chicago Tribune
has taken the trouble to reckon up those
obligations long overdue and recalled, but
not presented for payment The Tribune
makes out 4 total of nearly $70,00O,0OO
There is but half million of missing notes
and bonds issued before the war, which
will never be presented; there is nearly a
million of Understanding notes issued
since the war, of which very small pro-
portion will ever be presented. Then there
is S1O,000,O00 of the early fractional cur
rency, which has disappeared forever, and
SIS, 100000 Of greenbacks issued prior to
1869, the rest of which issue has all been
exchanged for new in the past five years
1t is incredible, however, that this last
great sum of nearly S6O,O0O,0OO of paper
money has passed out of existence, and
probably if the reserves of our banks are
ever emitted, consisting in many cases OF
packets of greenbacks which have not been
opened for years, much less placed in cir
culation, large portion of these green
backs will come to light. The other ten
or twelve millions of obligations will prob
ably never be heard from again. They
have been burned, lost, and worn out Be
fore we get the national debt paid, fully 1
per cent of the highest amount it ever
reached will probably be disposed of in this
way.

CUBAN AFFAIRS.--Govern General
Concha has promised to have the case OF
the American Dockeray, under sentence
of death, referred to the government at
Madrid. Meanwhile he will have to await
in jail at Puerto Principe the result of this
measure. From details of the trial, it
seem that his defense was the declaration
that he was an American citizen; n denial
of the jurisdiction of the court or any coun-
ell of war, and statement of the facts OF his
case He grants the facts that he commu-
nicated with the insurgents, wrote letters to
Maxine Gomez, to the marquis of Santa
Lncia, and to President Cisneros; that he
wrote an account of the battle of Narango,
and brought out some letters from insur-
gents, but says his motive was self-defense.
He compromised himself through weeks Of
exposure, of danger and half starvation.
He was held against his own will within
the insurgent lines, and it was to escape
therefrom that he did acts for which he is
charged with being an active insurgent.
The Spanish fiscal appears to have accus-
ed Dockeray of being an agent of the
United States government, sent to Cuba
in the interest of the belligcrent rights of
the INSURGENTS
