THE NEW CHICAGO. Perils to Which We Are Con- stantly Exposed. Measures Necessary for Our Security. 'Not Another Frame Building Should be Erected Within the City Limits.” Letter From Judge Booth. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribinic: Sir Having read with great interest what ever bos appeared in your columns, editorial ly or otherwise, in reference to the fire, I am still apprehensive that the most important lesson to bo learned from this calamity will not receive due consideration. Of course, the relief of the sufferers is the first and immediate duty. But to prevent the recurrence of a like disaster, if possible, is a duty which we owe, not only to this time, but to all time. One such lire is enough for a century. It ought to be enough forevef, if it is within the scope of human wisdom and I prudence to prevent another. It becomes a pertinent question, then, whether wo are taking such steps for future security as reasonable prudence and foresight demand. The great danger is, that our citizens will come to regard this calamity as ono of those fortuitous occurrences which happen at long intervals in the history of tho world, which are wholly beyond human control and unavoidable by human foresight; and that they will therefore continue on in the old way, taking their chances, and trusting that, as lightning seldom strikes twice in the some place, so that no such terrible calamity will revisit this city, at least for a long and indefinite period to come. Lot ns look at tho situation candidly. It must be apparent to all who have given any thought to tho subject that Chicago, with all its unrivalled commercial advantages, occu pies a more perilous situation of exposure to devastating fires than any other great city on this continent. It stands in a region of per petual high winds; on tho lake border of an immense prairie, over which, for untold cen turies previous lo its occupation by the white iTnin, each autumn tho fierce Ilamcs, impelled by southwestern gales, had swept before them the dried vegetation, burning up indiscrimi nately the burrows of the innocent rabbits and tho nests ef tho singing birds, as well as tho lair of tho wolf and the venomous ser pent; rendering it absolutely impossible for any grovo or forest tree to obtain a foothold, over tho whole wide expanse, except on some barren knoll, or along tho low, marshy bottom-lands of some water-course. What we now experienced was simply a prairie-lire started among human habitations,—the destructive clement resum ing its old sway over its accustomed realm, summoning to its aid in the work of destruc tion its old ally, the hot southwestern gale, making human beings its victims, instead of tha native tenants of tho prairie, h very sweeping conflagration wc have over had has been of the same character. In September, 1859, a lire broke out ou Lake street, near the comer of Clinton, and swept.over many acres, causing immense destruction of prop erty. A heavy gale from tho southwest pre vailed at the time, and the course of the vraa northeast, stoppiug at the North Branch. Tho tire of Saturday night—fore runner of our great calamity—moved in the name direction, stopping at the South Branch. The great fire, commencing at a point further from tho river and sweeping onward funaiiß crowded wooden tenements ami lum ber yards, accumulated sufticieut volume and jinteuslly' in its course to overleap. that bar rier, and desolate tho fairest portion of onr #ntv. Had it broken out at a point a mile or a piiln and a half further distant in a. south* westerly direction ou tliat terrible night, no human power could have saved the entire city from destruction. The great danger of our situation arises from the miles in extent of wooden tenements which till up the West Division of our city, and the violent andcoutinuous calcs from the west and southwest which uniformly j)re vail during the dryest season of the year. In the case of cities ou our seaboard, high winds, when prevalent, are usually attended with rain or snow, ami the bane, in some measure, brings its antidote. It is safe to assert that there is no other great city in any civilized land so combustible in its character, and at th» same time occupying so dangerous a situ ation in regard to tires, as our own.. Kow, in view of this peril, what is our rca .bio course? Is it to extend these com m ’ssoaof woodcu structures for miles «r£n westward and southwestwurd m-uV™ l That would lie to repeat, m form, tlie folly of the niuiple their nests and lairs aJ'.'J't. grass, only to ho compels." l T. uvcSiheforo tho fiery storm- ihy-o totMiclcr ationa dome additional force pectivo growth of the city. A tsohei tmcula tion, based upon our past progress, w« ijd give us a population of a million long heroic the present generation passes from the stage. Are tho glories and splendors, the wealth ami magnificence, of tho Chicago that to oc the verv houses of its millions of people—to bo held by so frail a tenure as those of the Chicago that tca«; liable to vanish at any lime in flame and smoke before the torch of the incendiary, when tho siroccc-blust from the southwest shall bo upon us If tho present stylo of building be contin ued. wo nave not only no guarantee agamst a similar disaster in the future, but, instead thereof, we have a moral certainty that, at no very distant day, the catastrophe of loTl will he repeated ou a grander scale, and with additional horrors. With such material for a conflagration as we have in course of pre paration, in the ordinary computation of chances the calamity is sure to come. Some accident will happen, or some favorable opportunity for tho incendiary will bo pre sented. when, by long-continued drouth, everything combustible is converted into tinder; when, from some unforeseen cause, iiifi Water Works shall bo disabled, or the iFir#dDepartment crippled or demoralized; and JClug*£o will give the world another sensa tion, morn startling than this which has just wow* made its uumo volubly in every clime and upon Common Council, having recently re solved ti> extend the lire limits, are already taking thd back track and revoking tho ordi-! nance Is wot this next to madness, under the circumstance-*? The difference iu cost between brick and frame buildings is from ten to fifteen per cent; and u will, m all rrohabUity.be less Jtt future, by reason of the wholesale destruction of piucl’niber in the northern forests by tiio recent *rey. Ought tho small difference in cost to stand in tho way one moment of a measure so obviously necessary for safety f It is no answer to the line of argument suggested, that. »u Mic re tent ttre. after it had gained headway, hiiat and marble structures vren t down indiscrim inately before tho intense licet. 11 there nan been even a moderate sprinkling of brick buildings in the course of the fire when it first started, furnishing vantage ground for the firemen, the flames would never have ob tained such headway. Except for tfie most temporary uses, I maintain that, from tb»» time forward, not a tingle trains cmldiug should be erected within the limits of city. And, vJiafc is more, I aver that, as a measure of sound policy, having respect to immediate results,lt U the very best that could be adopted. Let it bo known to tho world that Chicago has unalterably resolved upon hucjj n course, and it will dy more to establish credit and create confidence In its future than Any other one thing that can ho done. It is high time for ns to see and feel that'lhU be], ter-skclter stylo of aggregating masses of wooden structures far ami wide over the prairie Is not tho thing to be done in a city that aims to become the Metropolis of the West, and Ls looking forward to such a future at wo have before us. Heretofore u* have built as chance directed, and we have taken our chances upon tho result; and, in the throw of the die, fortune has boeq sadly against us. It is time for us to build with a purpose, intelligently, and, with lull compre- VOLUME 25. hension of tbc points of the’ situation, to take no more chance* than arc absolutely una voidable. A good deal has lieen said by clergymen and the religious community generally, both in the pulpit and out of it, about the judg ments of God against this city for its sins. I have no controversy with any of them on this matter. One thing, however, is perfectly clear That God has pronounced judgment iu the operation of tuosc immutable laws whereby He governs our mortal state, that a city situated and constructed as this is can not stand with any reasonable assurance of permanency or security. In all the prominent cities of the East, though occupying sit nations of far less peril from tire than ours, the erection of frame buildings is positively prohibiteit Can we be justified in adopting measures less precau tionary, iu view of our recent experience? As a resident of the West Division 1 apjieal to every intelligent man living in that Di vision lor continuation of my statement, that the most serious obstacle to itspennanent growth and prosperity is its immense area of wooilen buildings. These will have to stand in the way of all permanent improvements until they are torn down, or. what is more likely to happen, burned away by fire. But let us have no mure of them. Others, more competent, will suggest other precautions against lire. One thing is per fectly apparent, and that is, that the water works should, iu tho shortest time practica ble, be restored to a condition of the greatest possible efficiency, aud of least possible lia bility to accident. As another measure, ren dering us partially independent of supply from that source, 1 suggest whether it would not bo wisd’to-constnict a cordon of artesian wells around through the lyesteru and southwestern portions of tho city t connect ing with reservoirs, audo of a civil action to recover $50,785. Thirty-five thou sand dollars of this money, it is claimed by Mrs. Mans field, was received from her by Fisk to bo used in a fiduciary capacity in stock operations, in the profits of which the plalutitt was to share, but of which 1* iskhas hitherto failed to render an account. Two days ago Judge Ingraham granted an order of arrest against Fisk, directing his imprisonment in default of _ $35,000 bail. Yesterday afteruoou, Mr. Jarvis, the Arrest Clerk of Sheriff' Brcuuan, proceeded to the headquarters of tho defendant, at the ouico of the Eric Railway Company, corner o£ Twenty-third street and Eighth avenue, ami there made the formal arrest. Apprised, doubtless, that such an event Wjjß. about to come to pass. Fisk, like “Boss* was prepared with his bondsmen', £aud, merely glancing at the name of .in the case, and the amount of-rbau-TqQuired, bo formally signed the bond'Kvitli his sureties. From motives of delicacy','he. ehid, toward tho bondsmen, Mr.” Jarvis did uot feel at liberty to give their names. The following are -tho affidavits of Mrs. Mansfield and E. S. Sloko£ orrwhich the or der of arrest was founded: City and County op- New York, ss.— Helen Josephine Mansfield being duly sworn, deposes and saysiliat she is tho plamtill in this action, and rt&dcfttjtethe city and county cf Now York; thafclmffl»comincuccd this said action in this cWjfrtßEihat tho said de fendant, James Fisk; issuing a summons herein for scrHcpßipou tuo said de fendant bv the Sheriff of-fho city and county of New York; that -her'"cause of action against the said defendant, James Fisk, Jr., arises and is as follows;' lu the early part of the veur IStiy, and prior thereto, the said de fendant, James Frak.
