2 NEW YORK. Connolly Still in Durance for Want of Sufficient Bail# Old City Aldermen Declare Their In- tention to Hold Over. A Lively Time Expected at the Organ- ization of the New Council. Daily Review of the Leading Markets. Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune. MONEY. New York, Nov. 28.—Money was active in the morning at the high rates of yesterday, but in the afternoon the market whs easier, and the rates at jhe close were sto 6 per cent on call. Tho Secre tary of the Treasury declined to make, any awards for bonds to-day, as the prices at which they were offered were, in his estimation, above par in gold. Bankers who have sent to Washing ton 5-20S of *1802.1 called In for redemption cn December 1, will to-morrow receive Treasury gold checks, payable December 1, to the amount of $6,000,000. that amount having been already ex amined and counted by tbe department at.Wash ington. The bonds were forwarded several days ago, having been received from Europe, It is estimated that the above sum is about two-thirds of the entire amount presented for redemption. This amount includes all called bonds presented thus f;ir for both domestic and foreigners* account. The entire amount of 5-20s called in for December lis fi00.000.000. The great er part of these have been taken up by the Euro pean and American syndicate, and will be turned in payment for the new lives, so that it is likely but a small amount of additional gold will come on tho market. The knowledge of the fact that tho Treasury will send hero to-morrow $5,000.000 of gold checks, payable December 1, weakened the gold market, and sympathetically govern ment bonds, made tbe money market easy, and cheeked the downward tendency of tho stock market.

GOLD opened at lie 7-8 and declined. closing atlio 5-8. The attempt to force up the gold premium have been most discouraging. At almost any other time the news that Russia was arming would put up the price from 1 to 3 per cent, Tho Mart ling nows from Spain would also tend to bull gold. The bugbear of the Ist of December senti ments still hangs over the street. Operators will not buy gold at present prices, when there is a possibility that it may be lower text week. They are also so much in doubt with i of-pret to the future pul Icy of the government, as n will be defined by Congress, that they prefer Jo wait.

Special Despatch to Tho Chicago Tribune. THE PIIKStDENTIAL OUTLOOK. Washington, D. C., Nov. 28.— The publication of Bhtir’« views on the political situation bus creat ed unlimited discussion among those politicians and officers who have arrived. Tho Democrats evince considerable chagrin at what they con sider Blair’s injudicious advice, and refuse to commit themselves either for or against a passive policy. Congressman Beck thinks the beat thing the Democrats can do at tho present time is to keep their months shut and not concede that their cause is hopeless in advance of the contest. Senator Kelly, recently elected from Oregon, as Williams* successor, does not think hia constituents would endorse tho move ment, but the Democrats would lose the State in the next Presidential election, through apathy and discontent. Ho .says that such a course, on the heels of the recent Repub lican victories in Now York, Ohio and Pennsylva nia, would be hailed on the Pacific coast as a vir tual dismemberment of the Democratic party.

THE CHICAGO TKIBCNE: WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1871. ESCAPE AND DEATH. The Horrible Fate of John E. Donovan in the Great Eire. A Desperate Flight for life—A Lady Passes Through Seven Blocks of Burning Bums and Escapes. The general facts relating to tho burning of Chicago tire well known—the unparalleled extent of tho burned district, the blasting wind whose unubatlng fury will never bo forgotten, tho local ity where tho Are originated. Its unexpected pro gress across the South Branch of the river, its rapid advance in a northeasterly direction, con suming the very heart of the city, its occasional eddying to the right and left, zlgzaglng along al leys or wooden rows, and suddenly encircling some magnificent block in a sheet of flame; pale faces peering from upper windows, hurried ly calculating the chances of escape; streets crowded with horror-stricken fugitives, fleeing for safety they knew not where; a sheet of flame one mile in length, driven by a hurricane having a velocity of J2O miles an hour, with a heat so in tense that it consumed alike wood and iron, and bnck and stone. Besides this, many heart-rend ing incidents have been related of perilous escapes and fearful deaths. And yet who shall say. ns from day to day the workman’s spado uuoartus new victims, revealing new facts, and adding cluipter after cuapter to this already ponderous volume of horrors, that the story fins all been told, and that concerning that dreadful night there is no unwritten history? Recent facts en able us now to tell the sad story and tragic fate of John K. Donovan, who lost ids life in tho tire. Mr. Donovan came to this city about six years ago from Sank County, "Wisconsin, where ho had served as Sheriff of the county, and where ho was well known. In this cirv he hud for several years been known as the lessee of Pope’s Block, adjoining tho new Open Board Building. At the lime ot the tire he was stopping with Ida wife and child (a little girl about 2 years old) in the Post Ottlco Block, on die corner of Dearborn -and Monroe streets, cast of the Post Otlicc. During Sun day night Mr. Donovan had watched the burning of the main portion of tho business centre of the city; had witnessed tlm burning of Pope’s Block, Farwell Halt, Board of Trade, Court House, Sherman House, etc., having in his own mind concluded that the Post Oflice Block would not burn. But in the morning the lire hud assumed such a shape that it at once became apparent that the block could not be saved. Ho then removed his wife and child to a place of safety on the corner of State and Monroe streets, while he returned to his room to secure some papers. What followed will appear from the following letter from Mrs. Ackley, the last person, so far as it is known, who saw Mr. Donovan: WYOMING, JONES COUNTY, IOWA, Nov. 19, 7871. Mrs, Donovan J>n/* JVfadawi I regret that your letter was not received sooner. I sympathize with you, and would he glad to give you- something definite re. gardiug vonr husband it possible. All 1 can say is that, Just before the building burned, I went up to my to-.m, leaving mv sou Jeaso on State street to watch my trniiks. in u few minutes a man came up and told me to leave the buiidlng immediately, saying, Those old stables are all on lire/’ I supposed ho meant those wooden buildings in the rear of tho block, but hiking mu l saw no lire, and did nut think lie meant tho buildings opposite, on Monreo street. I then stopped into ymir room, No. 29, seeing Mr. Donovan there, and said to him, that man is more scared than hurt,” to ■width he replied, ’‘that Isjnst what I think—l don’t see any lire.* The man, speaking as he did, using tho wmd ••stables/’ is what deceived Mr. Donovan,as well as myself. This is all tho con vernation I had with him. I cannot tell positively whether ho had anything in his hands or not—he was standing or walking in about the mid dle of the room. 1 saw him no more. Ou going to my room, my boy come running in perfectly wild with fright, saying, “Mother you will bo burned alive hero!“ We ran down tho Slouroe street stair way; in the excitement 1 never thought to stop at your room and ought to have called to Mr. Douuvan, but you know how it is at such times. Wo ran to The tribune comer, and found ourselves in a situation where suffocation seemed inevitable. When we went on Monroe street it was black with, smoke. J esse says it was when ho came up, and ho says lie did not see anv one either in the building nor in tbo street. 1 did not see anv one, I did not think of anything but being burned alive. Tho lire was coming on us from the opposite side of Monroe street. I cannot tell whether our building was then on fire, but Jesse said: “We cannot goto iho trunks—we must go down Dear bom stieet.” It was hot ou tho street. We kept on our.sldo of Monroe street, ran around the corner, and down the east side of Dearborn street until wen-ached The Tribune office. Jesse says ho looked back when in range of McVickcr’s Theatre, and he savs (but you must not rely 100 mnch on it) that ho thinks that tho X’ost Office Block was thou on tire—at least, he navs, there was a fearful body of tiro back ol ns. I cannot remember as well as ho can. The only waj'of escape for us from The Tribune comer was along Madison street to tho Madison street bridge. Tills was a fearful Journey—beyond description. All this dfs. tauce, of about seven blocks, hadtust been burned down, and the smoko and heat and wind, and some times the flames, were terrible. I saw no one bat nun, and their faces were as white as this paper. I do not give up easy, but if a gentleman, escaping tho same way, had not helped mo, I should never have got over the hot piles of brick burning my feet, and tho hot colled tel egraph wires tripping me at every step. 1 lost every thing but the clothes 1 wore. Mrs. Donovan, my heart aches for vow! I presume this letter does not con tain one grain of anvthing satisfactory; if you do find vour husband, please write to mo the particulars, very truly, Mus. Ackley. Notliing further was known concerning the fate of Mr. Donovan until Saturday, November 18, when tho workmen in The Tribune Building found the remains of two men. Their bodies lay under the pavement, on the north side of the building, and about thirty feet cast of Dearborn street. About live feet from the door which led into this “Newsboys’ room/' lay tbe body of Joseph P, Stubbs, a young man who had recently come to the dry. and who was associate editor of one of our daily papers at tho time of Ids dcathj and beyond tlio M,, body of~John l£ Donovan. Both men were found with their heads to the east, their hail* burned, features destroyed, and limbs con sumed. The broken pavement fell on those bodies, and the watch taken from Mr. Donovan’s pocket was crushed, and stopped at 18 minutes to 10. Under this pavement then, these men had been diivcn for safety—where, doubtless, they wore secure, until tho expanding of the iron joists caused the north wall of Tub Tribune Building to fall, crushing them instantly Mr. Donovan was held in high esteem by all w ho knew him,and leaves a largo circle of friends to mourn his loss. Ho was a man of excellent judgment and sterling good sense. A friend in forms us that he often heard him express his con fidence that Tub Tribune Building need ed no insurance, because it could not bo destroyed by lire. Driven to the corner of Dearborn and Madison streets us bo must have been very soon after Mrs. Ackley’s es cape, in that awful moment ho choose (and who would not, if they reasoned at all), tbe protec tion of this building to the desperate chance through bu'ulDg ruins for tho distance of more than half a mile.

THE FISK-MANSFXEU) CASE. Personal Appearance of the Various Par lien Interested. From tho New York Herald, Nov. 26. Two great forces met yesterday at half oast 9 o’clock in the Yorkville Police Court. These two colliding forces were Marc An tony Fisk, Jr., who nos offered up an entire railroad, with all its rolling stock, and an opera house, together with a ileet of Sound steamboats, at the feet of a woman who once toyed with his well-waxed mustache, and Cleopatra Helen Josephine* Mansfield, the beautiful and gorgeous heroine of Jersey City and the owner of tho palace in Twenty third street* now the foo ri el armh of (his Dngald Dalgetty of Colonels. Tho court room of tho Yorkvillo Police Court is in Fifty-seventh street, near Third avenue, and hither went many an Erie Rail road employe yesterday, prepared to cheer for the agonized Fisk, providing that this was necessary to ho done. Tho court room will hold about SOO people when crowded, ami it was full yesterday to repletion. It was a gala day for the lawyers, who fought and squabbled and tore each other to pieces so ravenously that one would have thought that they really were in earnest. William A. Beach, the senior counsel for Fisk, an old, precise, and formal gray headed lawyer, sat on tho front bench, and by his side were his associates, Charley Spencer, whoso eloquence is of the frightful order, and the incredulous Shearman, partner of David Dudley Field, whoso particular lino it was yesterday to laugh suspiciously, lean back and shake his head donbtiugly, anti in a general way to got ui»'an appearance of sadness whenever Mrs. Mansfield made a strong point in her testi mony. For Mrs. Manfhold appeared the fearless, irritable, and white-headed John MeKeon. and the little aggressive bantam Colonel Fellows* who also appeared for the people of the city of New York. On tho bench sat Judge Bixby, a very solid lookiug magistrate, who wore a red necktie and a cleanly shaven face, yellow as saf fron.' Beside the Judge sut the beautiful and interesting blonde, John H. Mc- Gowan, who is noted from tho First* Assembly District to Harlem Bridge for the exquisite lit of his lavender trousers and the frankness of his disposition. Two or three policemen ran around in an excited state, opening gates ami bringing visitors to re served seats. The back part of the court was well crowded with a hard looking set of fellows as ever were seen in a hall of justice. At a little after 10 o’clock Helen Josephine Mansfield entered the court room, followed by her cousin, Mrs. Lyddy Williams. Soon alter Mr. .Edward S. Stokes, who has filled the role of Octavius Cassur in this most won derful case, which threatens to be us loug winded as that of Jarndyce vs. Janidyce. Mrs. Mansfield looked so lovely that she created unite a flutter in court by her appear ance. This lady merits some brief descrip tion, as she is now well-known from Maine tot Oregon from her connections with Mare Antony Fisk and Octavius Cjesar Stokes. She is much above the medium height, hav ing pearly white skin, dark ami very large lustrous eyes, which, when directed at a judge, jury or witness, have a terrible effect. Her delicate white bauds were encased in faultless lavender kid gloves, and over her magnificent t ouruurc of dark hair was perch ed a jaunty little Alpine hat. with a dainty green feather perched therein. Her robe was of the heaviest black silk, cut a la Impera trico, and having deep flounces on the heav iest black lace over Miianaiae bauds of white sarin. At her snowy throat the only article of jewelry on her person a small gold pin glistened and heightened the ctlect. Her hair was worn a la Cleoiwlre, and a superb black velvet mantle covered her shoulders. Sit ting there this superb woman was tho per sonification of coolness and proud disdain as she looked, every now and then with tlcry glances of contempt at the agonized Fisk ami his cross-examiner. Charley Spencer, who made every endeavor to banger tho fair witness during a long three hours 1 examination, which would have tested the- patience of a saint, but which never milled or discomposed tho serenity of Mis, Mansfield. When Mrs. Mansfield took -.tin* witness box. .which placed her on an elevation in the court, her cousin. Mrs. Wil liams, who is a medium-sized and coquettish little beauty, sat immediately behind Helen Josephine. Mrs. Williams U-about yeais -of age. having a nose.of the rdrouesc order, ami a fair, white, pink and rather innocent face, in which there is a spice of roguery. Mrs. Williams looks as timid and as shy ns*a dove, ami yesterday wore a sosilskin jacket, a plush velvet liar, pink-colored kid gloves, and a wine-colored silk dress, made in. au ex quisite fashion. Tho exquisite .Stokes was all glorious in a new Alexis overcoat of a dull cream color. Au elegant diamond ring glowed on his little finger like a glow worm in a swamp, and a cane was swung carelessly to and fro be tween his‘manly logs. Stokes looked so handsome that Mrs. Mansfield found It quite impossible to tub* nor eyes oil* his face, whiles site directed only withering glances of con tempt at tho agonized Fisk. ‘Tho latter gen tleman came into court after Mrs. Mansfield in a strange kind of a blue naval uniform/ that fitted him wretchedly, with double rows of brass buttons. His mustache bristled ferociously, in tho fashion *of General Bourn, and a big diamond .pin shone out of his fat chest like tho danger light at the Sandy Hook bar. During the examina tion, when oven Mrs. Mansfield looked di rectly at Fisk, his glance wavered and his eyes turned away partially, and, hi fact, ho was so much discomposed that lie left early. During one of the severest cross-examina tions over undergone in New York, ami of three hours’duration, Mi's. Mansfield never wavered a bit, and one of tho counsel for Fisk, stared that she was the most perfect witness that ever sat in a witness box. .She was cross-questioned and badgered and vet never betrayed the slightest temper, but was Throughout perfectly well bred, courteous, and ladylike m her demeanor. MUBDER NBAS DETROIT. A ?Inn Killed la lIU Hedroom bf n Robber. From the I). Uoil Tribune. Nov. 27. The murder of ill*. Deuuisou Miller, of Oreenueld. on Friday night, is the boldest ami most brutal deed of crime that has Hliockt'd the people of this vicinity since the xt vVm? “figedy "’as enacted in this city. Mr. Miller was a well-to-do farmer residing about two miles beyond the second toll-gate op thelClucagoroad, apd opposite Shatters bix-Mue House. He resided in an ordinary two-story frame house, having four rooms anda pantry below, and four sleeping-rooms above. The parlor occupied the northeast corner of the house, ami from it a door led into the sitting-room. Tho kitchen is in the southeast corner, and oil it is tho pantry. Iu the southeast corner is tho bed-mom whore Mr. Miller and his wife were sleeping on the night of the tragedy, a room not more than seven or eight fcst square and opening into the kitchen. On Friday night, Mr. Miller, his wife, ami a young man named George Erwin, -were sleeping in the honso, the latter occnpving one of the rooms up stairs. At about mid night Mrs. Miller was awakened by some noise about the kitchen door, and, tuiuklug the cat wanted to get out. she arose and wont into the kitchen. Bho unbolted the door and opened it u little way, leaving an aperture through which the cat wont om. Before she could close it the door was pushed further back and a man 'entered, his face either covered with a black mask dr black ened to imitate a negro, probablv the former, Mrs. Miller was terribly alarmedand scream ed out. The mau told her to keep still and she 'would not ho hurt. So far from doing 00, shb screamed again, aud hr this time her husband was thoroughly awakhned ami came ouiof the bedroom. Tho rubber took no further notice of the woman, but pushed forward toward the husband aud seems to have met him at the entrance to tho sleeping-room. Miller caught him by the collar with both hands and deman ded what he wanted. The robboranswored threateningly. *T want your money.” The wife called out that they had none, but the two men were already engaged in a struggle, and in a moment was heard what ahe knew ro be the sound of stabbing, and her hus band foil before her. Tho robber, now a murderer, wasted no further time in the house, butdartodthrough tho door and made off. Young Envin.bv this time, had got down stairs, and rushed out of doors in pursuit, but toe late to be of ser vice. The neighbors wore, however, at once aroused, and every indication about tho premises which promised to give any clue as to the direction it which the murderer had gone was noted. On the threshold of the door was found a little blood, and on the casing tho marks of bloody lingers, the mur derer seeming to have taken hold there and swung himself around the comer. The ite was found open, and a few drops of blood wore discovered upon and near it. Mrs.Mmov hadhor hand slightly cut bv thffknite ofthe assassin as he pulled it out of the body ot her hnsband. On lookiu" to hnn. as ho lay upon the door, she found film quite dead from a terrific stab through the heart, extending into the hack of tho victim. His heart had been penetrated and he uroba bly died almost instantly on recoivmc the wound. 16 Pn.Satnrfiayevcning D»nnis Carroll.living on t uteenth. street, was arrested by officers Sparling and Bishop, as it is tlu.iiglit ho may hSvc been the mmdoror. He matomtwtor. and was once a resident in Miller's house, so that he would be familiar with the locality. It is claimed by the person having tho mat ter of his arrest in charge that ho was at tin: tavern opposite Millers at 11 i/cloek, ami left there with his team, file kcr.-uji- °t tne toll-gate says, it is reported, that .Ins man passed- through there at 1 o clock, and t.iat liis team previously came up to the gate they had been Jolt standing in the road by their driver, while lie wenfc aside for some reason. Ibe toll-gate keeper saj s that tin. man afterwards came .up, aud got them.
