Several firms whose fre-proofs were saved
have posted notices that they will open up for
business Saturday. Lumber is being handled
rapidly and building will commence as soon
as the debris can be cleared away in far more
substantial way than before. Most of the
merchants who have lost their wooden stores
will erect brick ones in their stead. Labor is
IN great demand and everything presents a
lively appearance.
A meeting was held by prominent citizens
this afternoon, prompted by numerous thiev-
ing operations since the fire broke out. and
the many cases Of job jumping. Hon. Judge
Moody, president, has decided to call upon
Gen. sturgis, commanding at Fort Meade, for
company of troops to act a. guards over the
property of the unfortunate sufferers by

with and company of cavalry was at
once sent here, together with ten wagons and
two ambulences to transport destitute citizens

voted down emphatically.
The postoffice, which was DESTROYED, lost
three thousand dollars in postage stamps and
stamped envelopes, but no mail was destroyed,
and coaches are running regularly with the
daily mails.
Numerous kind offers of assistance have
been made by Eastern merchants. but will
hardly he accepted, as the merchants bear their
losses with the best possible grace, and are not
inclined to place themselves under any obllga-
tiOns, at the same time approaching the will
ing offers made by all branches of trade. The
surviving merchants have not taken advan-
tage of the necessity of the hour by advancing
prices on staple groceries as was generally e4-
pected.

THE NEWS AT ARMY HEADQUARTERS.
The news Of the disastrous fire was COM
municated to Gen. Terry yesterday, by Gen.
Sam. D. Sturgis, in the following manner:
FORT MEADE, Sept. 26.
Gen. Ruggles, st. Paul.
The following note has just been received
from Hon. Judge Moody, Deadwood
Gen. Sturgis.
ance You have to take the people to Fl. Meade
for shelter. Nearly the whole city is burnt.
J. G. MOODY, Judge.
Accordingly l am sending every possible
wagon and team we have, and will afford the
sufferers what shelter may lie in our power
It may be necessary also to provide many of
them with rations. s. d. STURa1s,
Colonel Seventh Cavalry.
Fort Meade is thirteen to fourteen miles
from Deadwoed, and is headquarters of the
Seventh United States cavalry. There
are ten companies stationed at the post, and
of course large quantity of supplies are on
hand, which will be generously dealt out to
the sufferers, the great emergency overrid-
ing the usual orders. More than likely the
accommodations at Fort Meade and the
camp and garrison equipage will be largely
overtaxed by the great number of sufferers,
but Gen. Terry, in response to the telegram
from Gen. Sturgis, confirmed bis actions in
the premises, and authorized him to extend
all the relief possible to the homeless and
houseless people.
