THE CiilC AGOCONFlAU-IIA rilO 5,00-0 Foot Famites Destitute. ‘BANKS AND MONEY BURNT UP. A Kerosene Lamp the Origin of the disaster. Hanging ftf Incendiaries to the Lamp Posts. Ttie unparalleled conflagration which has made Chicago almost a desert of ruins continued yesterday the absorbing theme in all circles, and business for the day was practically at a standsiill. The par alyzing effect was the same in all the prominent business centres in the country, especially those d ir uxtjjrn#t<>4 An Uio commerce of the Northwes^rof which Chi cago is itself the great distributing point. Aid meetings wore held, subscriptions set on foot, supplies collected, aud eirerf thing else was done which the importance of the emergency demanded. As on the preceding day, the news from the scene of disaster, which was rapidly supplied by extra additions of the Sun, was eager ly sought. BEGINING OF TUB END. The intelligence received yesterday morning at4 o’clock indicated that the entire city was doomed to destruction, owing to a sudden change of the wind, which drove the flames to the south, forc ing the Western Union Telegraph Com pany to vacate their improvised office in that section. No direct communication 1 was had with the city after that time un til a late hour yesterday afternoon, when a dispatch from St. Louis announced the receipt of a telegram from Chicago stat ing that a heavy rain had occurred and that the fire was all out. A dispatch da ted at noon was received from Chicago stating that the fire continued to burn all Monday night on the north side, but Tuesday morning was under control. 0tlier telegrams indicated that, while the assiscanco of fireman from abroad aud tbe effects of the rain, which fell about 3 o’lock a. m., the fire was gotten under, though at times a revival of the flames iu various places gave rise to exciting fears aud rirncr?. The following telegrams contains fur ther interesting particulars: UNABATED EXCITEMENT IN NEW YORK. New York, Oct. 10.—The excitement in the city relative to the Chicago calam ity is no wise abated this morning. AH the people who were goiDg to their work shops early were anxious readers of the papers containing Associated Press dis patches, and sales at the news stands have been enormous. Crowds of business men were at the hotels until late last night to obtain the latest information of the fire, and many were in trepidation, fearing they were joint sufferers with their mercantile cor respondents in the apparently doomed city. It is that much busine? will be en tirely suspended to-day. Many of out insurance companies will doubtless be compelled to suspend for a short time, in order to ascertain their liabilities, while the grain and produce trade will undoubt edly be brought to a complete standstill. Every one in our community feels deep sorrow for the sufferers, and the response to the mayor’s proclamation lor help w ill be spontaneous and of a liberality worthy of tbis metropolis. Fearful loss of life. has been occasioned by the falling of waUs. A vain attempt was made to tsar down blocks to check the flames. Build ings are now blowing up on the south side. Ten thousand business meO will be compelled to make assignments, and an insurance crash is inevitable. Desolation and sorrow universally piovail. The riv er iB impassible between the west and south division, except at the Twelvth street bridge. Ail others are burned It is feared this remaining one will be crushed beneath the overwhelming traf fic. Five thousand Poor Families are homeless and penniless. The rail road depots' are burnt. Travel has ceav ed, with no mails aud but limited tele graphic communication. Help should be sent at once to the poor. The wind is still boisterous, and ifil turns north noth ing can save the west division.-—At present the loss is estimated at from $100,000,000 to $200,000,000 Fire proof buildiugs burned like tinder,especi ally the banks, not one of which remains. Few business houses saved eveu their pa pers. The whole population was busy all night, and the streets are now like a bivouac with sleeping' men. The loss of life is impossible to'estimate. The ship ping ordered into the North branch of the river was sent adrift into Lake.—Many vessels were burned. All business is sus pended, aad must remain so for the pres ent. Tremendous efforts were made to save the Tribune and l’ost, as well as the city, State aud government buildings. Nothing remains but blackened walls and crackling ciuders. No papers can be issued until type comes from elsewhere, as the type foun derie3 are also burnt. A large number of firemen are killed. All did their duty nobly, but the streams of water on the buniug blocks were like fountain jets against the awful heat of the conflagration. Tfili' NEW HOTEL, eight or nine stories high, just completed scut up pyraminds of solid flames, mak ing Lake Michigan ruby colored for miles, the burning bridges swinging graceful arches of tire from shore to shore, and the burning ships sailed in crimson waters. All the churches in the south division, and the Convent oi' Mercy, all the rail road building, aud the splendid mansions on Michigan and Wabash avenues are gone. The very pavements are burned Oae hundred squares are already burn ed in the south division. Business men cannot resume unless substantial help is sent from East aud West. A hundred thousand employees engag ed in mercantile pursuits are out of em ployment. The streets leading to the unburnt part of the south find all leading to the unbroken bridge west, are com pletely blocked by all kinds of vehicles, carrying sick and injured people and blackened furniture. The county records are safe, but the city records are lost. Mayor Mason has received dispatches from St. Louis, Milwaukee, Detroit, Louisville aud elsewhere inquiring “what shall we send He answers cooked food for houseless persons. LOSS OF BASKS AND MOSEY. A private dispatch received in Balti more savs “The banks are all burned our money all lost. The lowest estimat ed loss is two hundred aud fifty mid ions of dollars.” THE FIRE UNDER CONTROL. Chicago, Oct. 10 noon.—The fire con tinued to burn all last nijrht on the north side, but this morning is under control. It is literally true, to say there is noth ing remaining cf that side from the river north to Lincoln Park on the north, and from the north branch of the river, on the west, to the lake, on the east. This portion ot the city, except along the main ritcr, where there were business blocks, was occupied by dwellings. Two thirds of the population of this district were German aud Scandinavian. These people are now homeless. Some of them are in frame buildings in the northwest section, and others in the prairie without shelter. RAIN AT LAST. 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 w ind at any time would 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.TIIE PRAIRIES, But God averted this last possible ad dition to our disaster. At sundown the wind lulled, and at three o’clock this morning the rain so fervently 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 cook food for the multitude. A meeting of citizens was held in the First Congre gational Church. in West Washington street, which was continued throughout the night. Measures were concerted to protect what property was left, and to provide for the homeless. INCENDIARIES 11ANUED. Fifteen hundred citizeus were sworn in last night as an extra police, and the Secretary of War authorizyd Gen. Sheri dan to employ all available troops for guard, and to Lsuo an order for 100,000 rations. Five hundred soldiers are on duly. Two men, caught in the act of firing houses on the west side, were arrested and immediately liauged to lamp-posts—one on Twelfth street, near the river, and the other three miles away, on Clayborne avenue, north side. This summary action has checked thieves and murderers. CONFIDENCE RESTORED. The arrival of firemen and engines from Milwaukee, St. Louis, attd other cities has appearently restored confidence A Cincinnati train arrived this morning with three engines from that city and one from Dayton. They were seventeen hours on the way, having to charge their route twice, and finally to come via Piqua and Lognns port. There was inexpressible pleasure in seeing these experienced men go right to work in a business way where work was most needed. They are playing on coal piles, to save whatever of fuel is pos sible, and prevent further spread of the flames. The vast plain is covered with people wandering, seeing evidences of wealth that has completely vanished in flames and smoke. Business Enterprise. A few business meu with nerve are seeking business houses in the west side. Rooms°that rented last for $50 now readi ly command $5,000. Ihere are not many of these, but enough to allow a few ibusiotss men to start; The newspapers will be started again in a few days or I weeks. The Newspapers Reviving. Hon. Joseph Medill, of the Tribune, who is oue of the heaviest losers, succeed ed yesterday ia leasing a brick building on Washington street, at the tunnel. lie also purchased two single cylinder presses used in a job office on the west side, and has telegraphed east for paper and tvpy, there being nothing left here, j Mr. Story of the Times will erect a i rough one-story building, and begin tu j issue that paper soon as material can be I purchased. The Journal is provided f: on the west side. The Pont, Republican and Staats Zeitung will also arrange for business as soon as practicable, bucevery thing must come from elsewhere. There is nothing left. Water for drinking and household uses is secured from the lake and the parks, and for horses from the I viv.er. Camping Out There are a thousand people camped about au artesian well tour miles out, and perils os many more at the lake, and on Fullerton and Viotor avenues, near the prairie. People are being fed in the remaining churches and school-houses, in sheds, and by tho roadside. It was cold and chilly this morning, causing much suffering, but it is now clearing up again but instead of this being welcome, the people are praying earnestly for more rain, so fearful are they of the continuance of the flames. This is the situation. Later Particulars. The following is a report of the Sre and its incidents, specially described for ibe Associated Press by those who witnessed and fought the flaaics throughout: Late on Sunday cveuing a boy wout into a stable on JL)e Keren street, near the river, on the west side, to milk a cow, carrying with him a kerosene lamp. This was kicked over by the caw, and the burning fluid scattered among the straw. This was the beginning of the great fire. A s’ngle extinguisher on the ground, or active work by the police ia tearing down two chanties, would have prevented the spreading of t he flames; but the engines were waited for, and when trrny arrived the firemen stupefied by their exertions at the first fire, on Saturday night worked slowly and clumsily. Their efforts were unavailing. 'The wind blew a gale from the southwest. iiapidly the flames shot from bouse to uuuac*, auu irow ooaru yara 10 ooaru yard, having the meanwhile crossed the river north of Twelvth street to the south side, and made for the brick and stone business blocks, the railroad freight de pots and manufacturing establishments. The full extent of the danger was now realized for the first time. The fire department, already tired out, worked like heroes, and the mayor and city government, that had supinely but the opportunity had been lost. The time when thorough organization could have blown up the buddings or prepared for emergency wa neglected, ar.d it was now a fight for life. The wind blowing a stiff gale had pos session of the fiames, and the beautiful buildings, Chicago’s Glory, by before them. Harrison, Van Buren, Adams, Monroe and Madison streets were soon reached, the intervening blocks from the river to Dearborn street on the east be ing consumed. Three-quarters of a mile of brick blocks were consumed as by magic. Unconscioust Victims. Itbeing Sunday, proprietors and em ployees were at home utterly uucouscious of what was taking place. Those who saw’ the fiames thought it was the reraaius of Saturday night’s fire, and having confi dence in the fire department, were uncon cerned, but between eleven and twelve o'elok a rumor got abroad that the fire was in the business portion of the city. The people commenced moving. Hors es were brought into recquisiticu to take proprietors and others to the conflagra tion. What a scene met their gaze! The board of trade, court house, Western Union Telegraph and Associated Press office, and hundreds of other buildings were all in flames The air was filled with live coals which were hurled to north and east a bosom of destruction. Fire engines were powerless fer saving. All that men. oouid" do was to blow up buildings, but this availed but little. me Aimes, irmune, i'osi,i'.epuu::caii, Journal, aud ether newspaper offices, Western News Company, Black, Field Leitter’s establishment, the Drske block, recently built, aud Farweli cc Co’s., were all soon in ashes. It seemed that, no sooner bad the flame struck a wall than it went directly through, and very few minutes sufficed to destroy the most elaborately built struc tures. The walls melted and the very bricks were consumed. The wooden pavements took Sre, making a continu ous sheet of flame two miles long by a mile wide. No human being could possi blv survive many minutes. Block after block fell, aud red hot coals shot higher and higher, and spread further and fur ther until the north side was a vast sheet of flame, from river to lake. At one time it so hemmed the people that it wan j expected that thousands must perish. The Sherman, Tremont and other hotels were emptied of their guests. A remarkable sight was presented with the hurrying throngs, with trunks sack or bags on their shoulders, fleeing amid the flames for their lives.' Those who could made for the surrounding bridges, others got next to the lake shore and to the south. One block in all the vast business section remained at day light, viz: the Tribune block. The cus i tom house and Honore blocks, in Dear born'street, had burned, aud those who j fought the flames here thought at least this block could be saved. A patrol of men, under Samuel Medill, swept off live coals and put out the flames inside the wails, and another lot of men under the direction ofHou. Joseph Medill, watch ed the roofs. At half past seven o’e../ck this appeared safe, and most of the men went to get rest aud food. A number went to sleep in the Tribune building. But there was t* It v’ tt n u a a a a |irr a Itl.

A Chanje of the Wind. The flames reached Wabash avenue, State street and Michigan avenue. Soon after McYicker’s Theatre caught Are. Id a few moments the liibune bnHdm^ was in flames, and at the last moment the sleeping men were aroused and rescued from the flames. By 10 o’clock in the forenoon this remaining block was in ashes. Flight of the Pt-25,000, were destroyed. It is feared that a largo number of children, inmates of the Catholic Orphan Asvlum on State street, were also burned, as many of them are missing. On Chicago avenue a father rushed up stiirs to carry three children away, when he wasovertaken by the flames and perished with them. The mother was afterwards seen on the street, on the northwest sidc,a raving maniac.— In the same neighborhood a family of five persons perished. The list of such fatal ities is very long, and can otly be fully verified after the smoke shall have cleared away. There are hundreds of families on that side who saved no clothing, but barely their lives. Amoug them is the family of Perry Smith, formerly president of the Northwestern Railroad Company. Celery— How to iSianch and Store for Convenient Winter Use. When aiCh&mbersbnrg, attending the meeting of the Fruit Growers’ Society, we saw the- grounds of Hr. J. Lc^Suesefrot, a plan to have celery well blanched and always accessible for winter use. They are grown on the levef plan—no banking or ridging. At the approach of freezing he sinks barrels about two-thirds of their depth into the ground; theu place back the loose earth around the top band, which makes a mound even with the top of it; then stir up the earth ia the bottom (uohead ia the barrel,) and pour in a bucket of water. Pig up the plants of celery, and setthem in this water, com pactly; the mud settles around the roots. It blanches in this barrel beautifully aod comes out aqy times in’Winter, clear of frost, and is delicous. During cold weather the barrel is covered with a broad board. The plants are put into barrels compactly and dry the roots oa ly in the mud.—Cor. Practical Farmer. A Chicago youth receives from his lady lore three letters daily averaging twelve pages each.
