Fire In Chicago.

On Tuesday, the l4th inst, fire
broke out in Chicago, about 4;30 p. IL =,
in low frame building, used for stor-
iDg rsgs, aud adjoined an oil factory
that stood between Fourth avenue and
Clarke street, on Taylor street. The
great fire of 1871 originated in sta
bic. In both cases the fire commenced
IN the center Of neighborhood oceu-
pied by wooden buildings. There was
also stiff southwest breeze, so that
by the time the flames had consumed
the small dwellings, stables, carpenter
shops, and buildings filed with oil, pa
per aud rags, and reached State street,
where there were substantial business
houses, they were ike the heat of a
furnace, and all consuming in their
power. The conditions for great con-
fagratlons were not wanting. Fortu-
nately, after burning up nearly twenty
blocks, and destroying the First Bap-
tist church, two other church buildings,
the PostOfhce, Michigan Avenue and
st. James Hotels, the Inter Oceanic
and other elegant blocks erected after
the fire of II, and number of fine
residences, the flames we're stayed right
at the very doors of the heaviest busi-
ness blocks and three or four of the
best hotels.
The Times makes tue following est
mate of losses, which will be found to
be pretty near correct: The area burn
ed over covers fifteen squares, taking
bits and half blocks here and there,
and Jumping the whole, the burned
area is abest half mile long and a
little less in xidth, and embraced the
tumble-down shanty and pclatial ave-
nue. residences: Clarke street, $50, 900;
Fourth avenue, Sl75,O00; Third ave-

from several of them the water rises above
the surface. At Rock Springs the water
