WATER.
The scarcity of water !n the city
is one of the most deplorable and
alarming features of the situation,
as in the event of other fires, occur
ring in any part of the city distant
from the river or lake, the most de
plorable result would bo inevitable.
For domestic purposes persons must
seek, for some time to come yet,
thoir water supply from the lake
and artesian woils. It is most for
tunate now that in thje days of Chi
cago's prosperity bo many artesian
ell3 were sunk, which will now be
of inestimable) value in eupplying
the demands of the com'unity.
We learn that a large foice of me
chanics from "the Northwestern
Manufacturing Company are at
woik on tbo pumps at the water
works, and before many hours the
city will bt&upplied, by hand power,

ALL THE COAL-YARDS BURNING.
Every coal-yarJ in ibe city is
still burning, and the supply of all
fuel, except, wood, woich is scarce
and extremely dear, is cut off.
Thousands of those who have ioat
their all bad their winter supplies ot
fuel stored ready far use, but it
proved only a means of disaster and
discomfort to them by "addiog fuel
to the flames."
The coal dealers to-day are only
changing nine dollars per tun foi

before ths fire, notwithstanding the

CAUTION.
The Mayor has issued.a procla
mation cautioning the citizens to
exercise the utmost care in handling
of fire in their homes, lest other fire
should occur, which it might bo im
possible to extinguish for waut ol
water.
Persoti3 who indulge iu the use of
cigars or tobacco in pipe are called
upon to observe unusual care. Ev
ery family should also provide them
selves with some vessel of water, a
Barrel or tub, to be kept standing for
the purpose of extinguishing incipi

In the West and South Divisions
nearly all are rented.
DEAD BODIES.
At Union Street Station all is
bustle and activity, sending dead
bodies to No. 6-1 Milwaukee aveuuj,
tu an undertaker who is employed
by the city to take charge of thetn.
Not kss than one hundred persons
have been killed, and it is thought
that the number of dead bodies will
yet far exceed this;
One case occurred of where a
thief was killed by the patrol
There are rumors of moro cases ot
ibis sort, but this is the only one of
which the police' have cognizance.
The charred remains of a young
man was tound on the northeast
corner of fiapdoiph and Clark
streets. From appearance he bad
fallen through the sidewalk.
On Filth avenue, between Adams
and Jackson, are the corpses of a
man and woman who perished.
Seven men fell in with the root
of the building on the corner of
Clark and iludisou.
TROOPS COMING.
General Sheridan, with praise
worthy promptness, and as a pre
cautionary measure, has sent to Oma
ha for troops. They will arrive to
night, together with a large supply
of commissury stores for the relief ot
the needy. The troops -will assist
the police in guarding the city.
"BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG."
Itoihermel's great historical paint
ing, "The Battle of Gettysburg' was
destroyed in the Academy of Design,
together with other valuable paint

YOSEMITE.
B erstndt's great painting, The
Yosemite Valley, was iu the Art
Gallery, Crosby's Opera house, and
was not, so far. as we can learn,

FIDELITY SAFETY DEPOSIT.
The vaults in this institution, con
taining many million dollars' worth
of valuables, have been ascertained
to be unharmed. It is thoroughly
guarded night and day.
The Third National Bank vault
was found all straight. Everything
is taken out ot tho American Jxpros

The Trader's Nutiooal Bank vault

contents. We are assured, however,
that their depositers will not lose
anything.
The Mechanics' Savings Bank

promptly this morning paying its
depositors.
OUTSIDE STMPATHY.
Passengers by the day express
from St. Louis, which arrived las;
night, say that in every place from
Si. Louis to Chicago tho keenest
sympathy was expressed for ChicH-
go's calamity. Business was liter
ally suspended, and hundreds gath
ered about the railway stations with
eager inquiries for the latest news j
Iroin the scene ot tne connagrauon.
At Joliet, nearly forty miles south
of Chicago, the glare of the confla
gration was distinctly visible last
bight. The heavens were aglow
with the reflection of the burning
city, and hundreds of men, women
and children were in the streets and
at open windows watching the play
of the lurid light.
[From the Chicago Evening Post. October 10.]
CHICAGO.
The people are
and mourning, but they are alive
with hope and courage. Only while
their energies were employed in
checking the destruction of their
homes and business houses, they
were deterred from the work of be
ginning again. Only yesterday Chi
cago seemed a smoking, charred and
hopeless ruin. To-day it is almost
itself again. Enough is saved to
make a beginning, and a beginning
every man, woman and child seems
determined to make, Ou every side
the hand of encouragement and sym
pathy is extende'd. To the business
man comes the tender of material
aid; to the suffering, sympathy to
the hungry, food; to the naked,
clothes.
This is. all that can hero be said.
The rest our columns sorrowfully
fell..
"We rise ou stepping stones of our
dead selves," to higher, hollier for
tunes'. Let this be the sentiment
and it will be the capital, of the
Chicago of the future.
CHICAGO. [From the Post, 10th.]
Honest citizens will remain away
from the ruins to-night, unles3 busi
ness calls them there. 'The police
are on the lookout for cracksmen
who Will certainly be found at the
ruins to-night.
The area burned over can not be
much less than
THREE THOUSAND ACRES.
The desolation is the most com
plete ever witnessed. The intensity
of the heat was terrible. Huge blocks
of stone were crumbled to dust.
The foundations disappeared almost
to the bottom stone. The walls
were licked up as though of paste
board, and the huge beams of iron
were warped and disappeared like
straw. The vaunted fire-proof struc
tures offered almost as little resis
lance as the humblest shanty, and
went in the common ruin.
INCENDIARIES.
In the South and West Divisions
of the city numerous arrests have
been made of fiends in human shape
who were caught in the act of set
ting buildings on fire. In one in
stance a man observed two of these
devils about casting balls, saturated
with kerosene and lighted, into his
house, ou Wentworlh ave.uue, south
of Twenty fifth straet. He at once
seizi-d an ax and split one of them
from his head down. The other es
eapeii. A policeman saw a' man who had
threatened to set a buildiDg on fire,
and he was about to accomplish his
devilish act, when he drew his re
volver and shot hi;u through the
heart.
THE REIGN OF TERROR.
Last night, soon after sunset, ru
mors of incendiarism and violeut
deeds of vigilance committees began
to circulate. It was currently re
ported that four incendiaries had
been killed in as many different Io
calities one at the corner of Madi
son street and Western avenue, one
at the corner of Throop and Van
Buren, one on Blue Island avenue,
and one near the Jesuit Church.
These reports of course caused great
excitement among the residents, and
a partial panic was created. The
citizens formed a volunteer patrol,
and every house was watched by one
or more of its inmates. One man
was caught.
I
INCENDIARY FIENDS.
Incredible as it may seem, there
are a few fiends in Ifuman shape
prowling around the West Division
attempting to fire the buildings.
Two of these wretches were caught
in the act yesterday afternoon, aud
arrested. We hope that whenever
a citizen can catch an incendiary
fiend attempting to fire a building,
he will shoot him on the spot. That
is the best way to dispose of such
wretches at a time like this.
HORRIBLE.
News has been received at the
Post-office that the bodies jjf thirty
poor refugees are lying on the prai
rie, a few. uiijfs west of the city.
The unfortunates, most of whom are
women and children, died from pro
longed hunger a"nd exposure. Teams
with provisions, &c, are being sent
out to those who are not yet beyond
the reach of aid.
THE CITY UNDER MARTIAL LAW.
It has been decided to place the
city under martial law at once, the
details of the arrangement being en
trusted to Lieutenant General Sheri
dan. Military companies have been
sent fur and will coinu hither from
Milwaukee and other cities. This
measure is deemed absoluttly neces
sary to protect the city from tho vil
luinous ruffians who infest it.
PROCLAMATION.
Whereas, In the Providence of
God, to whose will wo humbly sub
mit, a terrible calamity hns befallen
our city, vh:ch demands of us our
best efforts for the preservation of
order and th9 relief of the suffering,
be it known that the faith and credit
of the City of Chicago is hereby
pledged for the necessary expense
for the relief of the suffering.
Public order will be preserved.
The police and special police now be
ing appointed will be responsible
for the maintenance of the peace, and
the protection of property.
'All offlcers and men of the Fire
Department aod IJeaJth Department
will act as Special Policemen with-
oui lurmer nwice.
The Mayor and Comptroller will
give vouchers for fcil supplies furn
ished by the different Belief Com
mittees.
The headquarters of the city gov
ernment will be at the Congrega
tional Church, corner of West Wash
ington and Ann streets.
All persons are warned against
any act tending to endanger proper
ty. Persons caught in any depreda
tions will be homediately arrested.
With the help of God, order and
peace and private property shall be
preserved.
The city government and the com
mittee of citizens pledge themselves
toQie community to protect them,
arid prepare a way for the restora

It is believed the fire has.spent its
force, and all will soon be well.

INCIDENTS.
During the prevalence of the
great conflagration there were many
occurrences which were grimly hu
morous. While the exodus from the
burning South Side was going on
over Lake and Randolph 8t reef
Bridges, an undertaker rushed over
with a part of his stock. Ho wa
accompanled by three or four boys,
each of whom grasped in his arms a
coffin a mournful 'suggestion that
something of the kind must be sav
ed for those who did not survive the
terrible visitation.
Little is left of the city except
suburbs, and these were all day yes
terday, eo crowded with fugitives
and their fragmentary furniture in
very fantastic attitude, that every
out-leading avenue looked like a
camp. All through the rainy night
tens of thousands held their weary
bivouac.
In one place along the sidewalk
our reporter saw a family gathered
with their shattered household goods
The father sat on a box weeping like
a child the braver mother had
made a little fire in the grass, and
was -frying some meat, and the chil
dren were playing hidend-seek
among the baggage.
Every vehicle was dragooned into
service yesterday. Going on a trot
up Wabash avenue, threading its
way among the carts, we saw a
heurse, bearing two happy children
within the plated parallel bars, with
a woman on the driver's seat, and a
rocking-chair, hoop skirts and house
hold utensils tied across the narrow
top.

It is not so bad a world after all. It
would lie hard to find better reading for
a misanthropical believer in the stylish

that come from almost every city of the
Union. The demands of business and
of party are forgotten, sectional prejudi

man, capitalist and laborer join in heart

tribute money and food according to
their means.

ANOTHER GREAT CALAMITY!
ITY
Terrible Fires in Wisconsin and
Michigan.
Great Loss of Life and Property
Relief for the Sufferers.
While the hearts of the people are
alive with mpathy for tbe Chicago
sufferers, the news comes of another ter
rible calamity of a similar Dature in
Wisconsin and Michigan. The firs in
the pine woods and prairies, of that re
gion, have reached and almost destroyed
several flourishing towns and villages,
causing the loss of hundreds of lives,
and great destruction of prpperty. In
the town of Peshtigo, WiRConsin, over
800 people lost their lives, and most of
the town is in ashes. The suffering. Is
great, but supplies are being sent as fast
ns possible, and It is to be hoped that
the claims of these poor people will noj
be overlooked, on account of the greater
calamity at Chicago.
Relief for the Sufferers. The Soldier's Vote Rejected-A
Gross Outrage.
It appears that notwithstanding the
Attorney General's opinion, that the
disabled veterans at the National Sol-
Hers' Asylum were entitled to vote, the;
Democratic Trustees refused to allow:
6
that men who have sacriheoed every-
ihing but life itself in their country's
set vice, aad have no other home than
Asylum, are not considered by
DcmocraCs entitled to a voice in
trovermnent which they helped to
from destruction! This is an outrage
on justice-and common sense, and the
next Legislature should, among its first
p
acts, provide effectually agniost a repe-1.

Soldiers' Home turned out in force at

J r
.u me junersoa lowiisiup jiuiis, hi ijiu
erty to exercise their rights as American
oitizens and residents of the State of Ohio,
by depositing their ballots in favor of
the candidates of their choice at the
election. Objection being made to re
ceiving tbe votes, tbe case was presented
to the Judges, and arguments made in
behalf of their right to vote, by S. Craig
head and J. A. Shauck, Esqs., and for
the Democracy, who were the challeng
ers, by Messrs. D. A. Houk and John
A. McMahon. After a short delibera
tion, the majority of the trustees the
two Democratic members decided to
reject the votes of the soldiers, Win.
Buchler, the Republican trustee, dissent
ing from their decision. By agreement
among the parties to tbe controversy, a
separata ballot box was then prepared,
two clerks were selected by the veterans,
and they proceeded to cast their ballots,
which were received by one of the trus
tees and deposited in the separate box.
Regular poll books were kept by the
clerks, Messrs. John B. Hay and John
Skinner, of tbe Home, and the name of
each veteran was written on the back
of each ticket before it was deposited in
the box. Six hundred votestwere cast,
but the tickets were not counted out
yesterday evening, and tbe result of the
balloting has not been ascertained..
Later: The Journal says Sayier
(Rep.) will contest Kemp (Dem.) for the
Senatorial seat of the Montgomery and
Preble District. Kemp's majority, with
the Soldiers' Home vote thrown out," is
only 167 in the district. If there Is a
Republican majority in the Sunate it is
not likely they will allow the veterans
at the Home to be disfranchised for no
other crime than that of being disabled
in the service of their country. The
Democracy will do, as it always does
go ugxinst the Union soldiers.
Horrible Precocity-Two Children
Murder a Companion.
The Steubenville Dtliy Hrild of
the 9th inst. furnishes us With the lol
lowing sickening detiil-: A sad ac
cident occurred at the County Infir
mary, five miles from the city, yes
terday, resulting in a horrible death,
the burying of a small lad named
Murphy, aged five years a reel foot
ed child w ho was deserted by au in
human mother to cloak her shame.
From a gentleman who was at the
Infirmary yesterday, wa learn that
two pauper children named Phil.
Sheridan and Andy Stewart or James
Holley, repaired to the orchard, a
short distance below the Infirmary
building, and dug a hole. After ef
fecting this part of the diabolical act,
the two little fiend-, whose age3 are
respectively five and nine years, re
paired to the Infirmary grounds and
caught the little reel-footed boy, and
carried him to his living grave.
Shrieking, yet without the power of
being heard, the little victim was
caught by the young? executioners,
aud forced into the hole. Holding
him down, they shoveled iu the earth
and stone upon his. writhing body,
stifling his cries as beat they could,
until the poor deformed body ceased
to struggle, and the spirit took its
flight to Him who gave it. The
two young murderers went back to
lhn house without informing any
one of the deed, and the buried boy's
absence was first noticed by Mr. Pur
ter, the Superintendent.about 1 ocl'U
Upon making enquiries, a little
black boy Informed him that Andy
Stuart and Phil Sheridan had burieo
Limpy' down in the holler." O.i
going to the spot, Mr.Porter found
the newly made grave and below th-,
surface the lifeless form of rittl
"Limpy." To-day Mr. Porter was in
the city and made application to
Judge Martin, of the Probate Court,
to have the two young murderers
sent to the Reform school.

In France have led to a. deficit of two

bushels of wheat on
the last crop, so that she will not only
be unable to export a surplus- to En

import some forty million bushels of
grain to supply ber own needs. Bad
weather and a lack of labor at harvest
time have also caused a deficiency of
twenty millions of bushels in the En

ty wilt be nearly doubled the amount
which will be needed from the United
States will be not lar short of one hun
dred and twenty-live million bushels.
It is true that tbe whole of this will
not necessarily be wheat. Indeed, it is
probable' that the greater poverty of the
French people, due to the late war,will
form a powerful inducement to them to
buy the cheapest cereal tbey can procure
corn, of which we have a very Lirge
surplus. But even with this drawback
there is no rooi to doubt that every
bushel iof wheat we can spare will be
wanted in Europe bef5re the next har
vest, especially as the Pacific coast will
probably be a much less formidable
competitor to the .Mississippi Valley
than heretofore.
More Assistance Needed.
PsiLADKLrHiA, October lo. Geo. n.
Stuart received a telegram from Dr. E.
Patterson, of Chicago, entreating him to
organize a work similar to the Christian
Commission for the aid of the suffering
thousands left homeless and penniless
there. Mr. Stuart recommends Young
Men's Christian Associations throughout
the land to organize immediately-committees
to collect fund, to be forv.-inli"l
to 13. Ti.M6ndy," Clittiru.au ol the Kelief
Committee of the Association at Chicago,
or to Stusrt's office, 13 Bar street, Phila
delphia.
The Mayor of Chicago.
Hon. R. B. Mason, the Mayor of Chi
cago, who by the terrible calamity
which has come upon Chicago, occupies
a position of the greatest responsibility,
was a Massachusetts man. He was ed
ucated a civil eugiueer, and connected
with the building of the llousatonic K.
R., and chief engineer of the New York
New Haven Railroad during its cou-
Htruction, and has always maintained a
high character for integrity iu all trusts
committed to his koepihtt. lie was also
chief eugiueer. for a number of jears, ol
the Illinois Central Railroad.
A Voice from Plymouth

In his ser; ..;ii last Sunday night
Henry Warn Beecher said "The
Queen of Eti; i.iiid from her imperial
throne flashi n. order to Canada to
empty the .-i-.'vhouses of blankets
and send li.-. :i to Chicago. There
is more in i'nse blankets to bind
Canada and ;;reat Britain to our
hearls than :i England's muskets
and all her ys-of war. The city
of London jr' s one thousand guin
eas from its o v.i treasury. Thank
God there's ne city in the world
that's got .housand guineas to
