house of the Calumet Club on Twentieth
street and Michigan avenue, was fotally
destroyed by fire this evening, causing a
loss of 100000, with $3.50 900 insurance.

the many beautiful paintings adorning
the walls was taken from the building.
Twenty odd members who resided IN the
house, lost all their personal property, and
some of them were forced TO leave the
building in a hurry. The greatest excite
ment was occasioned among the servants,
sixteen of whom roomed on the fifth
floor. Kittie McCabe and Maggie Isevitt,
two kitchen girls, were i'll in bed across
the hallway from the room where the
fire broke out. in a lot of shavings left there
by carpenters. The girls tried to dress but
the flames drove them out, and they at

smoke. Miss Dewitt was painfully harmed
on the hands and face. Her COM
panion, Miss McCabe, was not seen
by any one and it is feared she
failed 10 reach the ground in safety.
Among the paintings destroyed was the
noted "Peacemakers" portrait of Gen.
Grant and one canvass representing a
