|ljc |ljkago |nbn«l. Thursday, octobbe is. isn. Tme Chicago TBiamns has opened Its offices at Vo. 15 South Canal street. West Division, and the taper will hereafter be regularly Issued from that place tm farther notice. .i To Advertisers. We devote all the space we can possibly spare to advertisers in tbls moraine's paper, and those who find that their advertisements are left oat will pardon it to the necessity of giving a i»»r portion of our columns to the reading pub h'e. The demand for intelligence is not only in satiable, but It is absolutely necessary to the welfare of the people and the city that snueh of that which we publish should no to the pnblie. We divide oar space between the reader and the advertiser, and that is the best we can do for both clanes. The advertiser will understand that the earlier in the dsy he tires ns what he wishes to have published, and the smaller the rpsee into which be condenses it. the more likely it is to find a place incur columns. ..t. To Our Conutrr Subscribers. Ws have received many letters of inquiry from oar country subscribers desiring information as to the probable time wben we shall* be able to supply them with The Tbibukc, us of old. We reply at the very earliest possible moment. The principal difficulty in the way now is the Chicago Post Office, which is unable to distribute onr paper for (he mails, owing to the disarrangement of their system uf doing that work. Another difficulty, which will causa some dolay, is the destruction of the machinery used in our office for putting the names of the subscribers upon the potters. These are the leading dif- Acuities in the way; but wo hope this will be remedied within a very few days, when we shall '-he in shape to resume our relations with our country subscribers. In thetaeantlmo, although the capacity of our power press is limited, we hopo each day to send a few thousand copies of The Tribune into the country by train boys- We beg the indulgence ot our country friends, as suring them that no effort within human power will be spared to bring perfect order ont of the present chaos. 4ST*We have full and perfect copies ofour sub* sedption lists. THE TRIBUNE BUILDING. 4 server of The Tribune building made by Burling, the archi tect, shows that few of the "walls or floors will require to be taken down in order to render.lt habitable again. It is believed that an expense of fifty thousand dollars will rebuild the damaged portions. Wc shall commence rebuilding as soon as the _ plans and specifications can be drawn. UNDER JURY-MASTS. We must stilt ask the forbearance of our friends under circumstances which we can net altogether control and which they do not altogether understand. The demand for The Tribune is from 50,000 to 60,000 copies a day and we can not pos ibly supply one-third of that number. The paper has been printed for the last week with such type as we could sud denly lay our bands on, aided by a tamely supply from our friends in Cincinnati. and the press-work has had to be done on two inefficient one-cylinder presses. instead of the' two eight-cylinder presses which were at our command before the fire. In our thus poorly appointed and extemporized office, and with these two small presses, the paper has been daily published under extreme difficulties. Nor has'this been our only trouble... Our neighbor of the Evening Journal was as destitute as ourselves, and such conveniences and appliances as we could command wc cheerfully, of course, gave them the use of With that paper webavo taken turn and turn about, night and day, wsUi our scanty type and small presses, thus, in fact, issuing two daily journals with materials altogether inefficient for the demands of our own. Under such circumstances wc shall not appeal in vain to the good-fccl ing and forbearance of our friends, both readers and advertisers. Our new type is already received and will soon be in place. Preparations arc rapidly making for put ting up a new four-cylinder press which in a few days will be in position, and then wc shall be in condition to meet all the demands upon its. Wc crave patience while we sail under jury-masts. UNION PASSENGER DEPOT, the sale ortTic'frrountf' on tnc norm efid'oi l.ake Park to the railway companies for tho erection of a great passenger station for all tbe railways entering tbe city, a project has been started for erecting sucb a depot in tbe Vest Division. A depot of tbe character proposed would cost not less than three millions of dollars. As the city grows and extends outward beyond its present limits, tbe difficulty and delay in reaching a depot on a level with the streets, and crossing a street every three hundred feet, will increase, and the consequent interruption to traffic on the streets will, in time, become exas perating to tbe public. The history of such city depots in New York has been that every few years tbe railways have been compelled to move away from their down town sta tions and go farther out. Ten years ago the depot of the Hudson River i Railway was at Chambers street. Now it is at Thirtieth street, and in a short time it will be still farther away. Ten years ago the depot of the New Haven Railway was at Canal street, and that of the Har lem Railway at White street Now they arc at Twenty-seventh street, and arc pre -1 paring to take another flight ‘But to abandon a three million-dollardopot; which: cannot be used for any other purpose, is a different thing from selling out property which is available for other uses. If Chicago shall spread out later ally as fast in the next ten years as in the past ten, it will take the trains on the Fort Wayne Road two hours lo nm from En -1 to their present station. In order ring all4bcrailways to a common cen tre at any other place than oh the lake bore, a perfect wilderness of tracks will need to. be provided, and these will be a constant and increasing jeopardy to life and limb. If each street is “viaducted” the property-owners must be com pensated for damages, as provided by -the new constitution, such damage to .be ascertained by a iury. If the railways attempt to depress Jicir tracks below the sevrers, their road ■_: 3 will fill with water and require to be ept dry by pumping. On the lake shore none of these difficuh b are to be encountered. Trains can 3e run at the highest rate of speed with out jeopardizing life or properly, and the uture growth cannot add future'ohslroc- to tbennslncss of the roads. The ad- antages of that situation are so marked .hat there is* no comparison possible hc ween it and any other locality in or iround thd clty. THE CAHAL BILL. One house of the Legislature baa passed bill to relieve the canal of the lieu upon resources by refunding to the city of —-Jhicago two and one-half millions'of dol rs expended on it, with interest, amount ng in all to $2,955,340. This sum.is to be *_ed by tbc'saic of State C per cent, J payable after ten years. The bonds be delivered to Chicago, November ae-fifth, nor more than one-third of said f ondß, shall be applied-to the reconstruct on of bridges, and of public buildings do ;*d by;fire, upon the original sites, ad the.remainder shall be applied Hlo the .Tentbf the Interest, on the bonded :bti. and' tho mwotenance of the'polic'd id fire departments. The bill will probably pass the State Son- withont change. It appears that the egislatnre agrees with the Governor that e spiritvof the CrartUntioo rembrace I such a calamity as tbat which bas befallen ibis city, in the special causes warranting the Slate in an increase of the debt be yond $250,000. The bill* leaves iho debt standing against the city—principal and interest —but it gives us the money for present uses, when we have no other means of raising it WHAT IS SPARED US. Our columns have been so extensively occupied daring the past week with re ports of the enormous losses of life and property In the late fire, that there is some danger that the damage sustained will be over-estimated. True, we have seen 2,500 acres in the most central portion of the city swept bare, 20,000 buildings destroyed, and 100,000 persons rendered homeless, the total pecuniary loss being not less than $300,000,000; but we have still a great deal left. We may roughly estimate the situation as follows: Above 50,000 persons have left the city; population remaining 260,000. Five grain elevators wore burned, with 1,600,000 bushels of grain; leaving us with eleven grain warehouses intact, con taining 5,000,000 bushels. One half of our stocks of pork products were burned up, with the same proportion of flour. Of lumber, 50,000,000 feet were burned; the stock remaining is 240,000,000 feet Of coal 80,000 tons were burned up; we Have 79,000 tons on hand. Our stock of leather was decreased one quarter, the valuo.of that burned np being $95,000. The greater portion of tbo stocks of gro ceries, dry goods, and boots and shoes were burned up, with more than one half the ready-made clothing; but the quanti ties destroyed were scarcely equal to more than a three weeks 1 supply, and arc now being rapidly replaced. Not more than 10 per cent of tbo cur rency was destroyed, by the fire; we have 30,000 houses left standing, and our real estate could not burn up. A careful average of these larger items* with smaller ones that need not be cun tnerated,-shows that the city of Chicago has suffered a loss of not less than 20, nor more than 25 per cent, on her total assets—real and personal. Thcloss is a great one; but, so.far from irretrieva ble, that we may confidently hope to see a return to former prosperity ere long. The ratio of increase during the past thirty-four I years has averaged 10 1-2 per cent per an num. This rale would restore the status of a mouth ago, within three years. Making every due allowance for*the terrible set back experienced, there can be no doubt that five years hence, at most, the exhibit of population, wealth, commerce, and manufactures will be greater than a mouth ago. Already the city is rising from its ashes at a rapid rate, thanks to the large hearted liberality of our countrymen everywhere, and the resistless energy of our. own citizens. Let the faint-hearted ones take courage; the real workers have not wasted a moment in regret; after they have repaired their losses there will be no occasion for it TEMPORARY SHELTER W. S. Johnston, Esq., of Luke -Forest, writes to Mr. FarwcU stating that he owns 200 lota on Milwaukee avenue and vicin ity, and ho offers the free rent of these for three years for tbe purpose of erecting on them cheap houses for the homeless. The committee of the Aid Society having in charge the matter of relief arc industri ously at work, seeking out all those who have been rendered homeless by the fire, and, according to the circumstances of each cose, furnishing them with lumber, nails, and the other material necessary to tbe construcliou of cheap bat comfortable habitations. There is, of course, a nat ural desire on the part of many to have these buildings upon the sites of the old homes, and, whenever the needy sufferer is. the owner of the lot, this desire most be gratified. In all cases tbe proper ly in building is retained. The cost of the materials is really a loan to the sufferer. A proper regard for public. safety requires some system in tbo location of these build- UUih Hst °'sGUfro c co2iifagra\mn fl. T '°st should never bo admitted that these struc tures are to become permanent The oc cupants should be encouraged to look for ward in the spring, or as soon thereafter, as possible, to finding some other bouse provided with all the sanitary comforts and conveniences, and to leave these temporary structures as soon as their wages will authorize them to do so. All thought of pauperism ought to bo dis couraged. Every mutt to whom one of these dwellings shall be given should be enrolled as a laborer, mechanic, or work man in some form, and made self-sup porting. To widows there will necessarily have, in addition to a building, to be given supplies daring the winter, but even in such cases there ought, to be cmplov ment given in some form. Suffering and want must bo prevented shelter must bo furnished to ever}- homeless i person but there must be no mendicancy in any form, save where from sickness or other disabil ity it may bo unavoidable. The offer of Colonel Johnston is a liberal one and ought to be accepted; other gentlemen owning unoccupied land might make similar offers, that the committee may erect the buildings as rapidly as they are Applied for. ATROCIOUS FABRICATIONS The papers of the Eastern cities are publishing personal experiences of persons professing to have been sufferers by the fire in this city. These stories are for tbie most part fabrications. The,descriptions given of murders and rapes by bullies, thieves, and ruffians,during the progress of the tire, arc wretched inventions. A re spectable Kew York paper gives room to a long recital of the narrow escape of 200 abandoned.women from their lodgings in Reynolds Block. The pictures of ob scenity and profanity arc drawn by an ex pert, but arc wholly destitute of truth. -No women of that, or any other class, occu pied-rooms in that block/ The fire was horrible enough in'all its details;: there »was a full aharprof.Tbc selfishness' and bcurtlcssuoss peculiar to human nature; there were frequent cases of drunk enness and indifference to the im. pending calamity, but there was no general brutality, fiendishness, nor crime. f l be thousand stories of in cendiarism and crime during the progress of the fire are gross exaggerations, per versions or pure was liuks time for:stealing,; the firefwas too close upon the heels of holiest men and thieves, and but little even of what was stolon could be carried off. Tbo news of the fire brought hither thousands of thieves from other cities bul rhesc did not reach hero uutil Wednesday and Thursday, and by -that time public vigilance had been arroosed, and* their stay was short and unprofitable. The suffering of our people was terrible enough; it needs ,no exaggeration to make it the most extensive scene of hu man misery; but for the credit of common humanity :we desire to stamp these ato nes of murder and other no less atrocious crimes as false in every particular. BACK OTKBBB& We hare received numerous letters, and telegrams asking for complete filcs~dr Tbk Tribuke from the date.*of the fire. We arc unable to supply even so much os a single number. Every copy which we have been able to print has bceu snatched up by eager purchaser! the men ment it has come-from the Scss-.: We. could have sold four times as many if we could have printed them, and of the first number, containing the report of the fire, ten times as many as we could print The best we can do toward furnishing the out side world with any farther information than It has already obtained fs to advise people in the city who have saved copies to send them to their friends abroad, un less they hold them too precious to part with them at all. At all events, no copies should be wasted or destroyed, for they furnish, in their advertisements as well as reading matter, the most complete and graphic history that cap possibly be made, of the direful period through which we we have been passing We understand that the Post Office is now forwarding newspapers, after the week’s interruption of that traffic. 'Everybody who owns a Tiubcke of the pastor present week ought carefully to lay it by or send it to bis friends. Wo shall bo glad to gel back all the copies obtainable at our counters. Letter from lion. C. Lamed. At the time of the fire In this city Uoa. C. Lamed, the well-known lawyer, was In Provi dence, R, I. As there was a hearty disposition to contribute fnnds for onr relief, but some doubts as to the proper persons to whom such relief should be sent, Mr. Lamed sent the fol lowing letter to the Providence Journo?, which bad the efieetto bring ont donations in the most liberal manner: Pbovidsnck, Oct. 14.1872.

The sorest indication yet afforded of renewed public confidence is found in tbe comparative desertion of General Sheridan's headquarters by thocrowdof citizens who a few days ago com pelled too placing of a guard at the General's andienco-room. There is a perceptible and grateiul failing off !o the number of exelted cit sens of German extraction who used to de-- m&nd guards of soldiers In their neighborhoods. in tho name of the citizens and tax-payers of tho Eighth Ward.” Of coone all manifestatiens oflunacy like this were proper outgrowths of tbcflraanditsexeitement.bat it a cheerful sign of tbe times that people have resumed at tention to their own pursuits, and left the incen diaries to take caxe of themselves. In reference to this latter class of individuals the General Is incredulous anil desires, proof. Tbo.ybole con dition of tbe city has received the careful atten tion of the military, and the resnlt'is pronounced very satislaotory by Genera! Sheridan. The water supply Is specially a matter of rejoicing, and the state of things In the South Side mains yester day pleased everybody.

A reporter of The Tribune called upon Mrs. Leary, of N0.137 B-Kovea.xlreet« in whose barn originated the fire, which destroyed the city of Chicago on last Sunday night and Monday morn ing. It was the intention to interview her causa of the firw, and. ascertain alt. about IbptVeov which kicked over the lamp," Sbenaudthat tbis story was' falsoj iha dldmot go into the barn with a kerosene lamp; she did not milk at night; and •jbp-did .not know how the fire started.

When asked bow her home, which is not even scorched, was saved, she re plied (hat there was a hydrant on etch side ol it. and a hundred of her friends filled backets with water and threw it on the sides and roof of too banding. Absurd Misstatements. -The columns of tho New York papers teom with false and exaggerated accounts of the sum mary punishment meted out to thieves and plunderers during the progress of tho fire in Chicago. Among otb*r absurd misstatements is narrative of one George W. Smith, said to have kept a eigar store at No. IHS Van Buren s'reet. who appears to have found his way to New York, and is attracting, large bar-room au diences there by describing some of the scenes wbioh came under his observation. According t'» Mr. Smith, be was sworn in as a special po lieooiau. and, with four others, was detailed for doty at tho largo jewelry establishment of Miller «kCo., on tho corner of Clark and Randolph streets. “Early on Tuesday afternoon,” says the Now York .Sun,—and It should be noted that this was about forty hours after the conflagration had visited and devastated the locality in quta ion—“Mr. Smith was talking with Mr. Miller, when ho saw R *rne&- Aaron standing on the side walk.” Tbo Sun goes on with the story: “Mr. Milter,’ aaid Smith, there’* a notorious S«w\ork thief, Barney Aaron, his name Is.

At tfie warehouse of Tobey- Booth, earner of Grove and Eighteenth street*, a very large quan tity of provisions is in store.

Tho following communication from tho Mayor was read: Gentlemen: I have made to all tho heads of tho departments ollhe city, government a com munication, a copy of which is hereto attaeaeu. I respeettully request and require youroody to uuthoriio and require your Finance tKimmittoc i«» make a rigid examination of the different de partments of the city governments to the end I hat no department may be allowed lo make unnecessary expenses at this time, jmd to son that the most rigid economy is. maintained in all matters, connected with the' city government. It is known that nearly one half of the taxable portion of the property of I he city has been destroyed, and it is well known lo you, tbata very largo part of the real prop erty has been burnt over, so that it-is unablo to respond to tho luxes ot tho present year called for by the annual appropriation bill passed io June last. In fact cue entire people bavnsuffor ed severely by the great calamity that has visited □s. and virtually arc unable to meet- the tax ol fiiteen mills upon the dollar which itwas expect ed would bu levied. Such a lax at this time would not only ho very oppressive to the people, but I believe, would bo ruiuous to the interests of tho city. The necessity for many of tho improvements and disbursements contemplated by tho annual ap propriation bill u" longer, exists, and tho present tax lory should bo reduced accord ingly. From a rough estimate made as to the appropriations which are now lo be dispensed with, 1 am of tbo opinion tbatthe tax levy fur the present yoar need not exceed seven mills on the dollar. I will rtspccttnlly request that you ask your Finance Committee tu confer with tho beads ot departments and the financial and law officers of the City, and to report a tax order by which the taxes will be reduced to tho lowest possible amount. I have no doubt hot that your honorable body realizes the necessity ot retrenchment snd tcc greatest possible economy ;n ail our city affairs at this crisfs r *and- will cheerfully do alf to accomplish it." AM. McAvov moved to refer it to the Finance Committee, with instructions to comply with the Mayor's request. Aid* W. S. Powbll wanted a special committee o( eno or two from each divirion. Aid. Me A vov consented to leave out all about instructions to itus Finance Committee. Aid. Carsey aid not think tbo Finance Com- mitteo represented alt divisions, though it was composed of good men. Ua thought it desirable to appoint two Aldermen from each division to consider tho matter.' It was referred to the Committee on Finance. SEW HUE MVtTW. The Board of Public Works presented the fol lowing communication and ordinance, which was referred to the Committee- on Firo and Water, to report nn Mond iy. Gkstlkuen:*Tlio recent fire that has devas tated the city has aroused among our merchant* and property owners a deep and -earnest feeling concerning the insecurity of life and property. on account of tho contracted fire limits and the almost universal practice of erecting wooden' buildlogi. Wo are informed by business men that there is plenty of credit to bj bad. ami capital to b obtained for rebuilding the burnt district, pro vided capitalists and those seeking investments can be a-sured that these investments wilt be made secure. The board nro satisfied that an extension of the present firo limits in the South Division, and a rigid adherence to the ordinance would do much toward insuring tbs security of tifo and property, ami that it would contribute in a great measure to restore the confidence in Chicago in vestments, which has been so shaken' by tho re cent disaster which has befallen oarcity. We, therefore, recommend the passage’of the accom panying ordinance.”- THK ORPINXXCg. That that part of tho South Division within tbo following line}, shall bo known os the fire limits.
