A GPEAT RLAZE.

CHICAGO, July l9.-The wholesale mar. ket of Nelson, Morris & Co. was burned last night. The building was located at tue head of Root street and was wooden from bottom to top. Within thirty min from the time the soldiers on duty fired at some erty had $50, GOO worth of meats and prop ptowIers been destroyed. There is no doubt the fire was inceudiary. It started between a row of cars and the building, and in a trice the flames had leaped to the roof, around the sides and along the poriico which GOV cred the way to the delivery wagons. It circled the entire structure before the com pany just around the corner could get to the water plug across the way. When a battalion of militia reached the spot the great crowds on the street were cheering the bnrst of fire through the plate glass in front.

 More mass meetings have been held in- doraing the governor, and committees of safety have been appointed at Elyton and Pratt City. These are firm tokens indica- tive of an end 10 lswlessness and are hailed on all sides with delight.

Caceres informs me that he has
sent reinforcements to the northern
provinces TO attack the stronghold
of the insurgents, and he is doing
his utmost to check the revolution. If
the insurgents succeed in resisting the at
tack of the government troops the situa-
tion will be serious. The president says
the present outbreak has been difficult
to suppress on account of the
number of small groups of insurgents
which are scattered throughout the mount
ainous districts. In light at Oroya on
Saturday the insurgents lost seventy
killed and wounded and the government
fifty killed and wounded.

DELAY ON THE MAcADAM ROAD.
County Must 60 Further for Gravel
New Material Beats PlankinK.

County Must 60 Further for Gravel
New Material Beats Planking.
The county com missioners are meeting
with vexatious delay in the matter of
the construction of the one mile OF mac
adamized road Just south of the city.
The contract was let TO Flynn & Mccall
lum on June is. and the entire work
should have been completed on August Is,
but the deposit of gravel, which at first
appeared to be inexhaustible, has given
out, and the commissioners will have to
supply IL from some other bed. They
hope to be able to do this without going
any great distance. and to have the road
completed before the rainy season sets in.
The building of macadamized roads is a
new departure In this county and the CON-
missioners hope that il will prove entirely
successful in this, the initial, attempt to
do away with planking, which requires
constant repairing and early replacement.
The cost of this road, even allowing for an
increase by going further for the gravel
than was originally expected. will be less
than that Of the plank road which it re-
places.
The six-ton roller has proved entirely
successful and will be put in use elsswhere
when the occasion demands.
