Vlaucial.
From the 8. P. Alt* of tie 234]
The demand for Money continues
very active, although tho supply is
good. The amount of bullion which
finds its way to tho Mint this month is
largo, and the coinage will be over
$2,000,000. This mouth, however, the
taxes will draw over $2,000,000 into
the State Treasury.and tho customs du
ties will absorb $800,000 more, and the
iuternal revenue will swell the sum.
In addition, the Insurance Companies
are levying assessment·» upon their
capital stocks. The Union has called
for 4δ per cent., amounting to $337,500,
and the Pacific for 75 per ct., amount
ing to $750,000. Some of tho other com
panies may do the saine. There are
also $340,000 of mining assessments
called iu this month. The whole sum,
as far a3 notified, is then $1,027,500,
besides the internal revenue taxes, to
be paid this month. Of this sum about
one-fourth is only for insurance stocks.
Very considerable sums are paid every
mouth for mining assessments; but
this Is a kind of skinning that, like the
time-honored acts of the kind-hearted
fish wife, the public are used to. But
tho new demand of the Insurauce Com
panies, although of less extent, Is an
Innovation which has stalled the pub
lic mind until its real significance has
been more maturely considered. But
an extra demand, exceeding $1,000,
000, for the month is important, more
especially as the wants of new mining
districts are considerable. However,
as we have said, the gold bullion from
the interior has flowed Into the Mint to
supply one-half the amount, and the
rich mines of Nevada have supplied,
on San Francisco account, half as much
more lu silver in excess of last year,
leaving çx,W0,UW co oe manugeu, anu,
with too first of November, the dis
bursement of tho city tax-money will
commence. The swelling streams of
the mountains and the approaching
rains will put in activity next month
mines which will supply more than the
Chicago losses, and also reimburse con
siderable loans that have been advanced
to miners. There is a reasonable pros
pect in the present state of the ex
changes with the East that monoy may
become again a drug in the market,
more abundant and quite as effective
as cunderango in dissipating tho can
cerous debte, which are aggravated by
high rates for money.
A New York paper contains a con
tribution from the Chicago insurance
paper, which statos We have, in a
previous card, placed the loss by the
Chicago tire at $35,000,000. Now, that
we have some data upon which to form
a more accurate opinion, we placo our
estimate at $50,000,000. Some of the
estimates heretofore published are
manifestly monstrous exaggerations.
The salvage will be large—much larger
than the judgment of an excited popu
lace would bo likely to suggest or ad
mit. Already it is known that of the
vast amount of grain in elevators,
only about 1,500,000 bushels were de
stroyed. Thousands of such items will
be reported within tho next few days,
and until then uo man in the world
can make even a tolerably close ap
proximation to the actual amount of
iov> by the tire." In relation to the
effect upon insurance business It says
We think that tho wicked lowering
of insurance rates by ambitious and
reckless young companies will not be
persisted ill, and that thero will be,
for twenty years to cotne, a better
selection of risks, the establishment of
ample, well organized, paid flro de
partments, the prohibition oi building
in wood within tho business' limtts of
cities, tho storage of highly combusti
ble and explosive substances in secure
places, ana the use of fireproof cor
nices, window-shutters and casings.'

[From the S. 1'. Call Of Saudi}·.]
A most villainous attempt to bum
the southern, or a portion of tho south
ern part of the city, was made yester
day morning between tho hours of 3
and 4 o'clock, by setting flre in five
different places to the block of frame
buildings fronting on Market, Fourth

is Bancroft's four-story brick building

About 3 o'clock In the morning Mr.
Cassldy, who keeps α liquor saloon nt
No. 731 Market street, went into the

there discovered a lire in a woodshed
in the rear of a two-story frame house

fortunately stood in the yard, subdued
the liâmes which had gained oonsld

juckets of water lie managed to totally
sxtinguish the fire. This lire, which
ivas the work of an incendiary, was

Numberless incidents attending the
great fire in Chicago/some tragic,
others liidlorouS) $re being furnished,
by various reporters aud correspond
ents, some of which we give below
HOW TUB NEWSPAPER OFFICES PER
CHED.
Every newspaper in the city of any
noto is gone. The Times establish
ment was among the first to foil.
Nothing was saved from the doomed
structure except the bound files. The
reporters were at work until driven
from their tables by the beat of the
burning buildings in the rear alley.
The pressmen stood ready to work off
the edition had it been possible. The
printers worked nt the case until the
foreman drove them down the spiral
staircase, which was already enveloped
In blinding smoke and advancing
llame. Then the night editor, and the
night reporter, and the city editor and
the other reporters who bad been
working up the fire, burst in the doors
of tbo counting-room, forced the vault
and carried off the files of the paper
since its birth. The other offices were
soon gone, too. The Post and the
λΐαίΐ and the Ztituny, over on Madison
street the Republican, on Washington
street tho Journal, down on Dear
born street, soon disappeared. For
awhile It seemed as If the fire-proof
building of the Tribune Company
would witlistand the onslaught of the
flre-flend. Up to i o'clock the re
porters had sent In detailed accounts
nf thn fl pa Af. Κ nVlnnL* fchrt forms
were seat down. In ten minutes and
the two eight-cylinders in the press
room would have been throwing off
the moruing paper. Then the iront
basement was discovered to be on Are.
The plug on the corner was tapped,
but there was no water. The confla
gration which bad for some time been
raging on the north side had destroyed
the water works. There was not a
drop of water in the city. The press
men were driven Irom their presses.
The attaohe» of the office said good-by
to the handsomest newspaper office in
the Western country, and tearfully
withdrew to a place of safety. In a
very short time the office was envel
oped in fire, and that was the last of
journalism in Chicago for the time
being.
LOSS OF xins. lander's wardrobe.
To-niglit, Theodore Thomas' Orches
tra was to have opened the Opera
House. Crosby had just refitted it at
a cost of |80,000. Every seat in the
house was sold for the opening nlgbt.
The members of Thomas' Orchestra
arrived in the city on Sunday, and
were stopping at the Sherman. They
lose all their baggage, instrumente and
valuable musio. Thomas himself had
a narrow escape from losing his life.
While endeavoring to saveeome valu
able papers from nl3 room his retreat
by the southern stairway-was cut off,
and not kuowlng which direction to
go, he was wandering abou: the halls
In the heat and smoke until rescued by
a fireman who had been on the roof of
the hotel. This evening was also to
witness Mrs. General Lauder's first
performance at Hooley's Opera House.
The poor woman lost all her buggage,
Including her valuablo wardrobe and
diamonds. Mr. Hooley, who boarded,
with his family, at the Brlgge, also lost
everything, with the exception of a
changé of wearing apparel for the
children.
A HAPPY FAMILY.
Iu tho following circumstance there
was something Tike the awakening
from a horrid dream to And it ail a
dream Mr. Ferd. S. Winslow, the
well-known banker, owns a beautiful
residence and grounds nearly opposite
to Wright's grove—a little paradise, in
which lie had taken peculiar pride. At
the near approach of the flro one of the
neighbors urged Mr. Winslow's family
to betake themselves to their carriage
and flee. They fled for their lives,
and, along with thousands of others,
sought the bleak prairies, where they

morning Mr. W. wandered back to
gaze upon the ruins of his happy home,
when, lo there burst upon Ills aston
ished vision a green oasis in the desert.
It was his own home, unscratchcd.
The tire had swept clean around it,
missing it miraculously. The happy
family returned, taking many sufferers
along with them. Aud their friends
have rejoiced exceedingly.
A GENUINE CURIOSITY.
The little one-etpry franjo shanty, in
tlio rear of which was {lie barn in which
the fire originated, ou De Koven street,
stands to-day alone and uninjured.
The flames ewept around it on every
side, Igniting everything else, while
that miserable structure stands—a

commenced. Will some enterprising
museum please purchase it at a ficti

Rev. Mr. F of Boston, who had
accepted an invitation to prcach out of
town on α certain Sunday last Winter,
wa* delayed until the last moment,
and did not arrive in the town un
til late In the morning of the day on
which he was going to preach. lie
hastened to the clerk of the hotel aud
requested him to procure a carriage for
him, which was complied with, and he
was soon driven to the church and got
there with scarcely a moment to spare.
He stepped from the conveyance and
hastened up the aisle, when, to his
great sur prise, ho heard a suppressed
tittering and bum of astonishment for
which ne could not account, until he
heard a footstep behind him, when he 1
turned and beheld the cause. The
coachman, muffled to the chin, with a
fur cap on his bead, a whip under his.
arm, and a pair of cavalry boots on his
feet, had followed him into the church.
The Rev. Mr. F was about to ad
dress him. when Jehu exclaimed
"He ain't paid me. I want my
fare."
The worthy minister, greatly morti
fied, tried to explain to him that he 1
had requested the hotel clerk to settle
with him.
"O, yes," returned thehackman, "I
dessay. That won't wash—it's too
thin. Cash on delivery is my terms. I
don't know you. Idruva feller with
a white necktie down to the care last j
week, and he gave me tho slip, and I
ain't seen him tinoe, and that time I
made up my mind that there warn't no
vlrtuo in white neckties so cash up."
It was growing very embarrassing, J
when the Hon. Richard Warren, a 1
prominent member of the congrega
tion, who was well acquainted with
Mr. F hastened fofward and,set
tled the bill whereupon Jehu retreat
ed, chuckling and muttering to him
self, Too much for white necktie that t
tlmo." 1
