The Losses and Insurance.

P. q. Kelly & Co. were carrying at this
season about their largest stock of The year,
and probably had in the store building at
the time of the fire 1876, 900 worth of goods.
They usually had about 100000 of insur-
ance, and, at this time, intended to have all
of that amount on the goods in the store,
besides what was placed on goods in the
stone warehouse and in their sand rock cell
lar. But, as the books have not yet been
examined, and, as the larger part of the in
surance was placed in Eastern agencies byMr.
Kelly personally, an accurate statement
of losses and insurance cannot be given this
morning, but will be made up in day or
two.
Averill, Russell 8 Carpenter had in their
store about $125,000 worth of goods, on
which they are insured to the amount Of
$77,5OO.
Kelly & Co. were insured on their barn for

Observation-Disclosures.
ENGLAND.

LONDON, Aug. 23.-The chief secretary for
Ireland in the house of commons TO- day stat
ed that the government don't think it neces-
sary to ask for exceptional powers for the
preservation of peace and protection of life
and property in Ireland. They don't know,
ne said, whether they can rely during the COM
ing au tumn and winter on the common law.
They do not fear an arising but the condi-
ton of the country is precarious, and should
necessity arise the government would not
hesitate to summon parliament in order to
obtain an additional permit, but they don't
think the occasion likely to arise.
In the house of commons John Dillon,
home ruler, moved adjournment in order TO
give Forster an opportunity TO explain his
recent language. Dillon said 'Tdon't mind
being called coward and imposter, but L
object to an accusation of deliberate wick
edness, because / advise resistance TO law
which the government itself had called
unjust, yet continued to ed-
minister. I will repeat that advice
at every land meeting in Ireland" Forster
said he had no explanation to make but
that he adhered to every word he had utter
ed. Dillon had preached disobedieree to
the law which the government was deter
mined to uphold. Forster added the recent
terrible outrages in ireland show the barbar-
ism to which speeches like Dillon's excited
the people.

Tenders of assistance.

Telegraphic messages, expressing the
sympathy of their correspondents,
and tenders of assistance were numerously
received by both firms, during the afternoon.
Among the earliest of such communications
was one from the superintendent of the Mil
waukee & st. Paul company, rendering to
Kelly & Co. special facilities for bringing
on their new stock of goods and also tender
ing them the use of the upper levee freight
house for the storage and sale of goods. This
tender was promptly accepted, and Mr.. G. w.
Case, assistant superintendent of the Mil
waukee road, Immediately began the work
of preparing the building for their
use. The ends of the building were
out and the floor torn up all
through for the purpose of LAYING a railroad
track through the building. But by night
fall the building was reconstructed and
ready for Kelly & Co.'s use. The same COM
pany was also prompt in rendering assist
ance to Averill. Russell & Carpenter, as ap-
pears by the following dispatch from the
general freight agent:
MILWAUKEE, Aug. 23, 1880.
j. A. Chandler, St. Paul:
Please say to our friends Averill, Russell &
Carpenter and z. III. Kelley & Co. that we will
be glad to be of any assistance possible in the
way Of hurrying their goods from Chicago
| through to St. Paul to replace burnt stock. In
their misfortune they have our sincerest re-
grets. ! am really sorry that so important en-
| terprises should meet with such disaster.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 23.-Large numbers Of
Knights of Pythias arrived last night and

Missouri was in session this forenoon
and will finish its session this afternoon.
All hotels are already filled and cots by the

There is no great influx of strangers out
side of the knights yet in the city, but
great crowd is expected tomorrow morn
ing.
4 large number of Knights of rythias ar

Market.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Aug. 23.-Cables to-day steadier
on wheat. Our market was strong, ruling ir
regular and unsettled. Closing shade lower
than Saturdays closing. The excitement in
wheat, corn and oats was wild this morning.
and the bulge has eliminated for time. 1
really should not wonder if prices dropped q
few cents, as the advance has been rather too
rapid. Shorts have bought freely in the past
few days and the upward tendency has proba-
bly, induced many outside parties to go long,
and such are often easily scared. However.
no doubt about the outcome of this, now we
have the stories about damage being over-esti-
mated; but the reaction will come soon. Easy
money all over the country will
prevent low prices, and knowing ones
say that the shortage Of Germany and Russia
is not half told, that they soon will decide on
the other side that our market has seen BOTTOM
and when thus convicted they will buy freely.
The scalpers to-day had more than an average
harvest in all markets and any amount Of smil-
ing was going on in order to celebrate the good
luck. There has been good deal OF excite
ment on the Asa Dow affsir in the provision
crowd. The poor old man went to the wall and
several of the boss brokers have got thei- I'm
gers burned, and of course they ''holler" blue
thunder but SO does every rooster when he Is
hurt. and some Of the fellers used to crow aw-
fully loud in the grease pit. Hence there are
some who think they ought 30 have lick once
in while 30 as not to get too saacy.

FOREIGN CROPS.

LONDON, Aug. pa supplement to the
Mark Lane Eapress tabulates 348 reports
from agricultural districts. They show
what is below the average. Barley above.
oats and beans little above and peas
little below. The result of the second hay
harvest will probably make up for the def
cheney of the first cut. Potatoes are expect
ed to be an unusually heavy crop; 248 re-
ports say more or less disease has disappear.
ed, thirty-two cay there ID no disease while
in fifty disease is not mentioned.
Wheat is considerably affected With blight
and mildew. A few returns declare the gen
eral state of the crops to be as bad as it was
last year, but for the country at large the
prospects, though not as bright as some
sanguine writers have reported, are much
better than they were at this time last year.
The quality of wheat and rye is generally
good. The French harvest is above the aT-
erage. In Belgium and Holland the harvest
is well nigh finished, with excellent results.
The rye crop in Saxony, Pomerania, Brande-
burg and Holstein is about half an average;
but in Bavaria, Franconia and Suabia the
rye crop is magnificent. Wheat throughout
Germany is fairly good, though there is con-
siderable must and mildew. Accounts from
Austria, Hungary, Spain and Italy are uni
formly good.
LONDON, Aug. 23.-The Mark Lane Express
in review OF the British graia trade for the
past week says: It's rather teo soon to make
definite statement in regard to the quality of
the new wheat crop, but the majority of sam
Piles exhibited during the past week were de-
cidedly fine and sold readily at 44s@5Os per
quarter. The supplies of last years growth
are quite insignificant. A reduction of e
shilling to two shillings failed TO attract bny-
ers. The demand for foreign was unusually
light. The bulk of the arrivals have been
wsrehoused. The tendency to prices is down
ward, though transactions are so limited as te
scarcely warrant recording any actual change
of quotations. American mixed maize readily
commanded 24s except shipments, but any at
tempt to advance the quotations was strenu-
ously resisted.
Sales of English wheat for the week were
II 1854 quarters at IDS Cd, against 1882 quar-
ters at 49s Sd Tor the corresponding period last
year. Imports into the kingdom during the
week ending August II were wheat, 14G, ,49a
cwt.; -four. 2S6G09 cwt. Oats was %
cheaper under the presence of heavy arrivals
Flour was dull and declined Cd per barrel and
Is per sack.

Resuming Business Without An Hours
Delay.

When the first edition of the GLOBE went
to press yesterday morning a destructive
fire was raging in the large buildings on the
corner of Third and SibIey streets, occupied
by Averill, Russell & Carpenter IS whole>
sale paper house, and Oy P. H. Kelly & Co.
as Wholesale grocery house.
The fire originated in the fourth floor of
the building occupied by Averill Co., and,
Just how it began, will never be known. Gen.
AverilI inclines to the opinion that it was
incendiarism. However, that may be, the
fatal mansard roof doomed both buildings
to speedy destruction.
The walls were absurdly light, and
though the alarm was not turned in until
nearly 2A.M. Before A. NJ. both buildings
and contents we're hopeless mass of ruins,
and in the Kelly building scarcely one brick
remained upon another. Seldom has such
great destruction been SO rapid.
All day yesterday the scene of the ruins
were visited by thousands who gazed with
regret upon the destruction of two of the
leading business houses of the city. But
though the buildings and stocks were gone
the business remained and both firms were
actively at work, as noted below, resuming
business.
Mr.. Kelly was feard from at Hornersville,
N. Y, where he breakfasted yesterday
morning on his way home from New York.
He is expected to reach Chicago
this morning, where he will first
learn full details of the disaster.
The loss which he has
sustained cannot be determined
with exactness, because he had placed
so much insurance in New York which is IN
known in st, Panl agencies. 1t was his
rule to fully insure, and We are inclined to
think the detail figures place his net loss too
high. In Averill & Co.'s insurance the
figures are exact.
The report in the second edition of yes
terday's GLOBE is republished on the third
page this morning and all additional matters
of interest are recorded below:

the declarations of President Grevy and NJ.
De Frciycnet at Dejon and Mont Aubon
afford most welcome and satisfactory as-
surances that the speech of Gambetta must
not be taken as expressing the opinion of
the country, but merely of Gambetta him
self. The article proceeds to illustrate the
idea of justice rs invoked by NJ. Gambetta,
which is founded upon wars of spoliation
waged by Louis XIV. against Germany
when she was weakened by Internal disse.a-
sions. The article concludes: Germany
will not become weary of demonstrating her
anxiety to preserve peace and her honor.

The Morning Scene.

The fire alarm of yesterday morning
dence streets of the city. The few whe heard
the alarm may have listened for its repeti-
ton, glanced from window to see if the
fire was near or felt of the wall to learn if it
was hot before dropping asleep, but the
many were not awakened by the measured
strokes of the alarm bell. 1t was with sur
prise, therefore, that those who stopped to
read their morning GLOBE learned that so
great fire had occurred and so much pro-
perty had been destroyed while they slept.
But greater was the surprise
Of those who rushed down town before
reading the GLOBE and came unawares upon
the morning scenes at and about the ruins.
Among these last were, it is said, several en-
ployes at the two houses burned out, who
we're amazed beyond description Oh coming
to their days work to find the places of their
occupation gone. They saw in place of the
great brick block, filled with merchandise,
broken and burned walls, enclosing great
heaps of black colored debris, from which
poured clouds of choking smoke, while un-
derneath leaped and sparkling the lingering
flames and glowing embers of the confa-
grafton. The remaining walls, cracked and
split, looked ready to fall before the first
breath of wind or with the least of jarring.
The fremen, moving wearily
and begrimed of face like, coal
beavers. we're pouring water wherever fire
appeared-the life and vigor of the hours of
contest gone and nothing left but the
patient, trying, dreary work of "layiug the
fire.

GENERAL GARFlELD'S CREDIT mo.

His Own Sworn Testimony before the Poland
Committee, January IA, 1873.
neuer oacned, received or agreed to ',eeeiue.
any stock of the Credit Mobilier or Of the Union
Pacific railroad, nor any dividends or profits
arising from either of them.
Judge Poland's Report, Feb. IS, 1S73-Gar-
fields Testimony Perjured.
The facts in regard to Mr.. Garfield as found
by the committee, are that he agreed with lMr.
Ames to take ten shares Of Credit Mobiier
stock, but did not pay for the same. Mr..
Ames received the eighty per cent. dividend
in bonds and sold them for ninety-seven per
cent, and also received the sixty per cent. cash
dividend, which, together with the price of the
stock and interest, left balance of 1929
This sum was paid over to Mr.. Garfelds by q
check on the Sargeant-at-Arms and MIR. Gar
field then understood this sum acas the balance
Of Dividends after paying for the stock.
New York Times Feb. 19, 1871
Messrs. Kelley and Garfield present a most
distressing figure. Their participation in the
Credit Mobilier affair is complicated by the
most unfortunate contradiction Of testimony.
New York Times Feb. 90, 1881
The character of the Credit Mobilier was no
secret. The course of its profits was very well
known at the time Con- essman bought it.
Though Cakes Ames may have succeeded In
concealing his own motive, which was to hrihe
Congressman, their acceptance Of tho stock
was not on that account innocent. The dis
honor Of the act, as q participation in an OBJ
vious fraud, still remains.
Some of them have INDUCED in testimony
with reference to the matter which has been
contradicted. The committee distinctly reject;
the testimony Of several Of the members. Thu
can only be done on the ground that 1t is untrue.
But untrue testimony given under oath is moral
| ly, II not legally, perjury.
It is the clear duty of Congress- to visit with
punishment all who took Credit Mobilier stucs
from Oakes Ames.
New York Tribune, Feb. 19, 1s75.l
James A. Garfield of Ohio had ten shares
never paid dollar !; received S329, which, aftel
the investigation began, he was anxious to hay,
considered as loan from MIR. Oakes Ames 4
himself.
Well, the wickedness Of all OF it is that these
men betrayed the trust of the people, deceived
| their constituents, and by evasions and false
I hoods confessed the transactions to be disgrace
full,
New York Tribune, Feb. 26, 1878.
Mr.. Ames establishes very clearly the poin
that he was not alone in this offense. Ifheist
be expelled for bribery the men apho aae,e bride.
