THE CHICAGO FIRE.-Full accounts Of the
late fire in Chicago put the damages sustained
BY the illfated city much less than we had
feared. but still enormous considering that the
city had not yet recovered from the fearfully
devastating effects Of the Are Of 1871. The
6re extended over large tract Of country and
great many buildings were consumed BY il,
large majority Of which were mere rocker
ies and comparatively worthless. Among
buildings Of note and importance destroyed
were the First Baptist Church, Weeds Hotel,
Aiksn's theatre, Pat O'Nsil's building and tho
great Adelphi theatre. The loss II estimated
st between 100000 and 100000. On
tho 18th inst another Are broke out In the
southwestern part Of the city, and fifteen or
twenty buildings. mostly stores, saloons and
carpenter shops were dsstroyed-ioss go, 900.
