The Great Fire in Chicago. J'arliculars, Innilenls, See. The following is a report of the fire nn.l its incidents, specially described for the Associa ted l’tess those who witnessed and fought the flames throughout: Late on Sunday evening a hoy went into a stable on lie Koven street, near the river, on the west side, to milk a cow, carrying with him a kerosene lamp. This was kicked over bv the cow, and the burning fluid scattered among the straw. This was the beginning of the great fire. A sin gle extinguisher on the ground, or active work by the police in tearing down one or two shan ties, would have prevented the spreading of the flatties; hut the engines were waited for, and when they arrived, Hit: I-'! It KM KN', RTFI’EFIF.D by their exertions at the first lire, on Saturday night, worked slowly and clumsily. Their ef forts were unavailing. The wind blew a gale from the southwest. l’apidly the flames shot from house to house, ami fr< m hoard yard to hoard yard, having meanwhile crossed the river north of L'wclft h street to the south side, and made for the brick and stone business blocks, the rail road fri ight depots and mannfaettiiing estab lishments. The full extent of the danger was now realized for the first time. The lire department, already tired out. worked like heroes, and the mayor and city government, that had supinely rested, now began to exert tlminselves, but the opportu nity had been lost. a i.ost ouponTFNrrv. The time when thorough organization could have blown tip the buildings or prepared for emergency was neglected, and it was now a fight f i life. The wind blowing a stiff gale had posses sion f tha flames, and the beautiful btiild i gs, Chicago’s Glory, lay before them. Har rison, Van llttrcu, Adams, Monroe and Mad ison st roots .were soon reached, the intervening blocks from the river to Dearborn street on the east being consumed. Three-quarters of a mile of brick blocks were consumed as il by magic. TNONxlors VICTIMS. It being Sunday, {>r.•{>iinters ami employ ees weie at homo utterly unconscious of what was taking place. Those who saw the flames supposed it was the remains of Saturday night’s tire, and haviig confidence in the fire department, were iinc-once-rned, hut he-tween eleven a.el twelve o'clock a rumor got airmail that the lire was in the business portion of the city. Then the people commenced moving. Hor ses were brought into requisition to take pro prietois and others to the conflagration What a scene met their gaze! "|')i« board of trade, court house, Western Union Telegraph and Associated l’ress olliee, and hundreds of other buildings were all in flames. Ti e air was H11 oil with live coals, which were hurled to north and east a besom of de struction. Fire engines were powerless for saving. All that men could do was to blow up buildings, but this availed but little. The Times, Tribune, Post, Republican, Journal, and other newspaper ofliecs. West ern News Company, Black, Field Leitter’s establishment, the Drake block, recently built, and Farwell Co’s., all were soon in ashes. QUICK DUSTBUCTIOV. It seemed that no sooner had the flame struck a wall than it went directly through, and a very few minutes sufficed to destroy the most elaborate built structures. The walls melted and tho very bricks wore consumed. The wooden pavements took fire, making a continuous sheet of flame two miles long by a mile wide. No human being could possibly survive many minutes. Block after block fell, and red-hot coals shot higher and higher, and spread further and further, until the north side was a vast sheet of flame, from riv er to lake. At ono time it so hemmed tho people that it was expected thousands must perish. Tho Sherman, Tremimt and other hotels wero emptied of their guests. A UK.MAItKAm.K SIGHT was presented in tho hurrying throngs, with trunks, sacks or bags on their shoulders, flee ing amid the flames for their lives. Those who could made for the surrounding bridges; oth ers got next to the lake shore and to tho south. Ono block in all the vast business sec ti'in remained at daylight, viz: ttio Tribune block. Thu custom house and Honors blocks, in Dearborn street, bail burned, and those who fought tho flames hero thought at least this block could bo saved. A patrol of men, under Samuel Modill, swept nil live coals and put out the flames inside tho walls, and anoth er lot of men tinder the direction of lion. Jo seph Modill, watch'd the roofs. At half-past seven o'clock this appeared safe, and most of the men went to fp t rest arid food, A num ber went to sleep in the Tribune building lb t tic re was a change of tho wind. The II ones reached Wabash avenue, State street and Michigan avenue. Soon after Me Vickcr's theatre caught fne. In a few mo ments the Tribune building was in flames,; and at the hist moment the sleeping men I were aroused and rescued from the flames. l’>y 10 o’clock in the foicnoou this remaining block was in ashes. FLIGHT OF TIIK PFtoPLK. Now v:ns to he seen the most remarkable sight ever beheld in this or any country. There were from 00.000 to 70.000 ur n, wo men and children fleeing by every available street and alley to tho southward an 1 west- j ward, attempting to save their clothing and their lives. Every vailahle vehicle was brought into re quisition fir use, for which enormous prices were paid, and tho streets and sidewalks pre- sented a fearful sight. Thousands of per- sons and horses, inextricably commingled; i poor people, of all colors, shades and every nationality, from Europe, China an 1 Africa, mad with excitement, struggled with each other to get away. sci:nks or ntsTUEss and disthaction. Hundreds were tiauiplcd underfoot, men and women loaded with bundles and tic ir house hold. goo is, to whose skirts were clinging fen der infants, half dressed and barefooted, all seeking places of safty. Ilottrs after they might have been seen in vacant lots, or on the streets fir out in the suburbs, stretched in the dust. These are tho suffering lambs whom Christ calls on the r eh world to feed and clothe. God help them, if the heart of m in should prove obdurate. One of toe m ist pit iful sights was that of a middle-aged woman, on State street, loaded with bundles, snug gling through a crowd singing the Mother Goose melody, ‘Chicktry, ohickcry, cranerv crow, 1 vent t i the well to wash my toe," A"c. There were hundreds of others likewise distracted, and many made desperate by whis ky, which, from ex ess of thirst, they drank, in tiie absence of water, in great quantities, who spread themselves in every oirectim, a terror to ail they met. It is fearful to think of tho less of LIFE. ft is conjectured, with good cuts?, that near five hundred have been burned to death. We saw f e;r to n enter a burning building, and in a moment, they were overwhelmed by a falling wall. There was a crowd of men around the corner of a building, trying to save property, whin, the wall yielding, the whole I of them were buried beneath it. About l'J j or 15 men, women ami ehihlrcn rushed into j the building of the Historical Society, a llrc i pr ''('building. for safety. In a few minutes the ll lines burs' tip an 1 they were bnrm 1 to death. Am nig those who took refuge in this j huihling was t he venet able Col. Sain'i.

All the books and papers of the I!:s 1 torical S a'iety were destroyed. It is feared that a large number i f children, inmates of j tiie Catholic Orphan Asylum, on State street, were also hunted, as many of them are miss i ing. On C iicago avenue a father rushed up t stairs to carry three chihlia n away, when he i w as overtaki n by the dailies ami perished w itii them. Tiie mother, who escaped, is now a maniac. In the same neighborhood a family i of five persons perished. The list of fatalities is very long, ami can only he fully vciilied 1 after the smoke shall have cleared aw av.

Chicago, O-. t. 10, noon.—The tire continued 1 to bin u all last night on the north side, but ibis morning is under control It is literally true, to say there, is nothing remaining of that side from the river math to j Lincoln Park on the nor111, ami from the north brunch of the river, on tiie west, to the lake, mi the east. This portion of the city, except along the main river, where there were business blocks, was occupied by dwellings. Two-thirds of the population of this district were Get man am! Scandinavian. These people are now homeless. Some of them arc in frame build ings, and others in the prairiw ithout shelter. KIX AT J.AsT. Throughout the day a renewal of the fire on the west side was looked for, and a change of five degrees in the direction of the wind at j any time w ould have led to that result. There would then have been no refuge for any one. The people all had their clothing packed, ready at any moment to start for the prairies. But God averted this last possible addition to our disaster. At sundown the wind lulled, and at 0 o'clock this morning the raiu so fer vently prayed for came. It did not rain long, but the roofs of the houses and the ground have been wet, so that now it is possible to have fires and rook food for the multitude. A meeting of eiti/.etis was held in the First Congregational Church, in 1 West Washington street, which was coutiu lied throughout the night. Measures were concerted to protect whut property was left and to provide for the homeless. INCENDIARIES hangf.d. Fifteen hundred citizens were sworn in last night as an extra police force, and the Side- tary of War authorized Gen. Sheridau to em- j ploy nil available troops for guard, and to is- 1 sue an order for 100,000 rations. Five hun dred soldiers are on duty. Two men caught in the act of firing houses on the west, side, were arrested and immedi- j ately hanged to lamp-posts—one on Twelfth 1 street, near the river, and the other three mills away, ou Clay home avenue, north side. J I his summary action has checked thieves and murderers. CONFIDENCE RESTORIP. I he arrival of fiiemcn nr.d engines from Milwaukee, St. Louis, and other cities has ap parently re.-tored confidence. A Cincinnati train arrived this morning with three engines from that city and ouo from Dayton. i An ingenious theft was committed in Tar- j is lately at the expense of a jeweler of that city. A well-dressed man, decorated, and j having the appearance of a gentleman, enter- cd tl,is jeweler’s store in the Due Itoyale and a-l'.e,] ti, Le shown some of his most valuable I diamond rings, saying that the desired to pre- sent it to M.

Tills, however, was a hide which c u'd easily he remedic Would the jeweler kindly take she box containing the ring to M. Favre’s res ilence, and say that it is sent by one of his I admirers? Certainly. Then the gentleman handed the jeweler Iris card—-a hands' me af fair wi111 a coat-uf-arnis, and with the gentle man’s address upon it—and begged the sh p j man to call at his residence and receive his j money. Then ire left, and the jeweler took i he box to M. Favre’s house. M. Favro was absent, and the box was given to a servant. I Front M. Favre’s he wont to find the eu u. i c. s residence. Cl" course lie was unsuccessful in 1 is search, and tin n, suspecting a tri k, he hurried back to M. Favre's residence, to learn ti'oni lire servant that immediately after his ib-parturc a stranger, having the appearance of a clerk, had called for the h. x, saving that it was sent to the house of M.

Tho Interior of tho Earth—-Curious Revelations of Scieneo. Among the various papers read before the British Scientific Association was a report from the Tidal Committee of the society. This paper contained a Dumber of curious arid in teresting speculations with regard to the de gree of elastic yielding which the solid eartli experiences under the tide-generating influen ces of the sun and moon. It is quite certain the solid earth dues yield to some extent. It has long been a favorite assumption with ge ologists that tho earth consists of a shell of solid rock from twenty to fifty miles in thick ness, enclosing an interior filled with melted material, lava, metals, etc. This hypothesis is now shown tu he absolutely untenable, be cause, if it were true, the whole crust would yield with almost as much freedom on account of its thinness and the great area, as if it were perfectly liquid. Thus the boundary of the solid earth would rite and fall tinder the tide- generating influences, so as to leave no sena'i- j bio diflerenets to be marked by the water ris- ing and falling relatively to the solid; showing I that if the earth as a whole had an average I degree of rigidity equal to that of g'ass, the tides would be very much diminished from j the magnitude which they would possess on a perfectly rigid globe, with water like that of j our seas upon it. This consideration, commit- tee reports, makes it probable that the eaith I has considerable average rigidity than a globe j of g'ass of tho same size. Tho mathematical 1 calculation shows a somewhat startling result, to the fleet that a globe of the same size as the earth, if throughout exactly of the same rigid,ty as glass on a smaller scale, would yield like an India rubber ball to tho tide generating influences, thus leaving very little opp >rtunity f r change in the relative heights of water and land. The piecise agreement of j the actual tidal movement with estimates j foiinde 1 on the supp sitiou of a perfectly rigid I gljbe, renders it probable that the earth is in j reality more rigid as a whole than any sncci mcns i.i surface roc;; that Lai been txueri i meuted upon in laboratories. Dr. Soule, ten I years ago in speaking upon this subject had suggested that probably the great pressure in the interior produced in the material, which might be of the same substance as surface recks, a greatly increased rigidity in positions I at great depths below tko surface, This p irt j ot the enquiry the Committee propose to make i j a piiruiry object i:: the calculation next to be 1 undertaken. The g-ast Iling of Ireland, Roderic O'Conner, of the ancient lino of i Connaught, was the last king rvho sat on the i throne of Celtic Ireland. 1 lis character and exploits are painted with ire flattering hand j by the monkish writers, or late historians. who l ave writ'.! n in t! e interest of the R. j man hurch.
