BIG FIRE IN CHICAGO.
Loss o. Three Quarters of a Million Early
Monday Morning.

CHICAGO, H., Aug. 3.--Fire involving
u loss estimated to he at least 1891 600
broke out at 80 o'clock this morning
in the large retail dry goods and no.
tions store of Siegel, Cooper 4 Co.,
southeast corner Of state and Adams
streets. The blaze started In the ex-
! change room on the first floor,
and spread through the inhammable
| stock with the greatest rapidity. It
was but few minutes after the first
alarm was given till the entire interior
was a mass of flames. Every available
piece of fire apparatus was called to the
scene. Any attempt to save thu build
ing was at once seen to be hopeless, and
| the fire department devoted its efforts
toward preventing the flames from
spreading to the adjoining buildings
lE spite OF the work of the fire de-
partment the flames caught in the rear
of James II. Walkers large dry goods
store, just back of Siegel, Cooper <
Co.'S and fronting on Wabash Avenue,
but they were soon eXtinguished. The
heat broke the plate glass in the Lead
er, another large dry goods and notion
store, on the northeast corner of Adams
and State streets, and il looked for a
time as if the building was doomed, but
it was saved after hard struggle.
About twenty-five employees were in
the store at the time, but all of them as
far as known managed to escape unin.
jured. except one cash boy who was on
the third floor. He started to come
down by the fire escape but became
confused, lost his footing and fell, re-
ccivlng severe injuries There were
three watchmen in the building at the
time the fire broke out, who have not
yet been accounted for.
The building was entirely gutted, and
the Adams Street wall fell in after the
iron interior framework had been soft
ened by the heat. The firm carried a
stock Of $500, 600. The loss is believed
to have been fully covered by insur-
ance.
The losses are as follows: Siegel,
Cooper x Co., $500 900 on stock and $40
! COO on the building, insurance $500, ,010;
The Leader Demberg, Gleck x iIaI-
ner, loss by smoke and water, 100000,

THE SMELL OF BATTLE.
Bold Boys Do Some Lively Work-Rea1
istic Skirmish Drin.

CAMP DouGLAs, Wis, Aug. THE
second day of the Fourth Regiment i'll
camp is proving most satisfac-
tory and profitable one. The boys
were put through lively skirmish
drill under command of Lieut..
Col. King, with Maj. Louis Auer second
in command. The movements consist
ed of deploying by company, and rally
by company and by fours. A long
picket line was established with
two companies in reserve. All evolu-
tons were performed with accuracy
and despatch that would be
crcditable to regular army soldiers, and
certainly indicate that the Cream City
boys are up to date in military tactics
After this drill detachment of
three companies; under command
of Adit Seaman, were ordered
to the line of cliffs that skirt the village
on the south, ON reConnoiterins
expedition. Two companies were
marched through the woods to
the right of large bluff
while one company made detOur 10

woods and 4 lively skirmish with blank
cartridges ensued. Tie loys showed
that they knew how to Use their pow
der well, as was indicated by the
unccasing cracking, as the the rifles
spoke forth in loud tones, which were
re-echoed by the rocks and hills over
which the boys were clambering. The
way the fences, barns, hedges
and embankments were used as
forttications reminded one very
much of the story of Bunker Hill.
After about two hours of lively work, In
which all exhibited much pluck
and mettle, one party WAS
driven from the field. and
all returned to camp with sufficient ap-
pctites To eat sUldierly food in the
most Soldierly way. The wind is
very favorable, but the sunshine
is tritie too brig ht for
good rifle practice. An exhibition of
signaling with lights largely used in
regular army movements was given by
the signal corps last night.
The work on the range has been very
steadily kept up during the day, and
some very good scores were made. Th
following represents the scores made
Yesterday. At each os the ranges from
200 yards up to 900 wards, at fixed dis

MYSTERY CLEARED UP.
The Perpetrators of II Number of Post
Office BurgIaries arrested.

Chief of Detectives Woods has found
a key by which he expects 70 be able TO
clear up the mystery which has sur
rounded series OF daring post-o flee
robberies recently committed in Viz
ginia. John Cusick, a horseshoer living
at 9I3 ButtonWood Street, Philadelphia,
and Tim Burns, Who saws he is brake
man on the Reading railroad, of 1863
Spencer Street. Falls Of Schuylkill, have
been locked up. In their possession
was found a complete set OF tools for
opening safes, hundreds of dollars
worth of postage stamps Of all denomi-
nations and a box of old coins. The
arrests were brought about by tele-
gram received by Chief Wood from John
Poe, Jr., chief of police of Richmond,
Va, asking him to examine box which
had been shipped from Richmond TO
John Cusick, of Philadelphia, and which
was supposed to contain stolen goods.
The box was traced TO Cusick's house
Cusick at first denied any knowledge of
the box. He finally said it had been
sent by someone unknown to his
care, for Tim Burns. Burns was then
arrested, and in his room was found an
other grip filled with stamps and a box
containing the coins. He also denied
knowing anything about the articles,
but he was confronted by Mrs. Cuslck,
who insisted that the articles belonged
TO him and not to her husband, and that
he had taken them away from the
house. He then admitted that they
had been sent to him, but he did not
know who sent them.

THE OLD BOYS In BLUE.
Grand Army Veterans Taking Their An
nual outing.

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 4.-There are
thousands of very weary veterans in De-
trOit tonight and not one of them has
any appetite for another parade. They
are all opposed to it, and nobody blames
them. They had tremendous march
to-day at least they say SO. Many esti-
mate that it was at least ten miles, and
they think they are getting too
near the sunset of life to
make such marches for show.
But 1t was a grand. parade
and was witnessed, according to careful
estimates, by 800, ,0OO persons. The Wis
consin department was much admired.
Wolcott drum corps was one of the best
in line and the glitter and excellent
form of the Illinois department., which
preceded il. We're not sufficient to OBJ
scure it in the least. Wolcott post did
some excellent marching.
The famous war eagle, Old Abe, was
cheered and cheered again. Veterans
from many states who know his history
said they felt like getting right down on
their knees and worshiping the bird,
and they were not idolatrous either.
The various candidates are pressing
their claims with increased energy to-
night, and the contest is by no means
over. Charles Z. Lincoln, of Washing
ton. ID. c., assistant commissioner of
pensions, has withdrawn from the race.
As 1t stands tonight the choice of com
mander-in-chief is between Weissert,
of Wisconsin; Smedberg, of California !;
Hurst, of Ohio, and Hedges, of New
York. Weissert's candidacy is the only
one that is sharply defined as to states.
The situation is complicated tonight by
4 Ion fray MT .laI nf fn
Hurst, and rumor that Illinois may
decide to present the name of eX-Gov.
Richard J. Oglesby for commander-in-
chief
The next encampment Will be held in
Washington. Inquiry at the various
headquarters shows that Washington
Will get il by vote of two to one, il not
more.
The race problem still looms up ON
inously and the question upon every lip
now is. can this dispute be settled by
the encampment without serious dis
rurtion by the Southern division The
whites Of the Department OF Louisiana
and Mississippi still insist that the negro
ex-soldIer ought not to he admitted
with the whites, while the coIored
veterans VOW they viii reject the

organization in each Southern state for

colored d d4legates from Louisiana will
make a request tomorrow TO present
their side of the case in an address TO

Tonight was devoted TO receptions to
the Commander-in-ch q. A. Il. and
Woman Relief Corps and by the ci,i
zens of Detroit at the encampment hall.
Later in the evening another reception
was given the commander in-chief ut
the police building. On both occasions
Con. Neazey made brief speeches.
