FIRE.-Early last Wednesday
morning the store and residence OF
Chas. Cramer, on Dock street, was
discovered to be on fire, and every
effort made to quench the flames.
Both engines were quickly at work,
but the flames had gained so much
Roadway before they were discov-
cred that the fire was not subdued
until the building was nearly gut
ted. The loss is estimated at ST.
500; and the insurance was $4,000.
another. - About two o'clock
yesterday morning, the residence
of Michael Ihlenfield, on Chisholm
street, was burned, together with
all its contents. 1t seems that the
family was away at the time, at
tending a party, and when the fire
was discovered it was too late to save
any of the goods. The house was
valued at about 81 400, and was in
sured for 5000. The household
goods were insured for $500.

CONSIDERABLE ACTIVITY PREVAILED
around most o} the freight depots oT the various
roads in this city, Ill but two ur three having
fully resumed business. On these latter roads
it is expected that by Monday all obstacles will
have been removed, and that thcy will also be
able to resume their freight business. The
passenger business has been resumed On all the
roads, and trains are coming and guing as usual,
The situation on the various lines in 1his city
last evening was as follows: :
The Lake Shore l. Michigan Southern Railroad
is not vet entirely out Of the woods tile strikers
al Eckhard aud points beyond being still On the
War-path and refusing to allow freight trains to
run. Yet it is expected that the pen a1 those
points Will come to terms soon, and that freight
business can be resumed MONDAY. The pas
senger trains On this road are 10 longer mo-
tested, and make regular trips.
The Chicago, Rock Island j. Pacific has fu)ly
resumed. and is doing large business both tu
freight and passengers. Sumo difficulty was CT
pcrienccd at the freight-houses Of this road in
this city bg the refusal Of some Of the men tn
go to work, for fear Of being mobbcd, put their
places were easily filed @ith more rcsolute and
Courageous men.
The Chicago t. Alton Railroad resumed its
passenger business night before last, and trains
arc now running regularly, the first regular
night express for St. Louis leaving last cTcn-
ing Gov. Cullom and staff went to East st.
Louis yesterday morning, and under their d.
rcctlons the strikers and mubs which had
interiercd with the trains at that nofnt wcre
dispersed BY the military. The First Regiment
OF this city, which went to Braidwood on
special train On this road yesterday noon, will
keep the striking miners at that point from in-
tcrfefjDg With the Cofnpanr's trains there,
with the arrival of the First
Regiment at Braidwood from the north another
regiment of militia arrived from the south. A
committee from the Braidwoou miners arrived
IN this city yesterday to ask an increase Of
wages from the coal com panies. They had a
conference yesterday afternoon, but the result
