Tho spcciul pi lice -flfti'i'ii linnilred In
number wen- utterly powerlen to pre
vent the hundred- ol' thieves and robbers
-a ho II vo here, mid nt onco fwnrmcd from
hll lr-,'e cltb", from plundurinn ufc nnd
residence. Allen Pinkcrton, chief of po
lice, hoping to exert a snlurtury check up
on theno outrages' isuod n ch'tiracteristic
proclamation, forbidding strangers from
congregutirm at street corner nnd other
places, nnd instructing tho police to shoot
down all tnch us might bo caught stealing
or burning, or who rofii'o to obey orders
when commanded to move nlon-;.
SPOTTINO TriK I'l.l-NDEREP.l.
When the extra police wero -worn in
Detectivo Duckworth, of St. Louis, spotted
not less than forty well known thieves,
who were, of course, promptly ejected.
Others, however, not so well known, wero
sworn in, nnd to them must be attributed
most of tho excesses.
l.KOALIZKD r.XVKK-.
Ono instance Is reported of u young and
well-dressed man who wus ordered to move
on, nnd not obeying as promptly as the
ofllccr thought he should, he wr.s shot down
and afterward'' roblied. Since the occu
pation of tho city by this force over thirtv
pcrtons have been shot or had their brains
knocked out, and two, caught in the act of
spreading kerosene oil and setting it on
fire, were hung without n moment's warn
ing. TIIK OP.IIII.V OF TIIK GREAT FIRE.
Tho lire on Saturday evening, as has
been already stated, occurred in tho plan
ing mill 011 tho corner of Van Huron nnd
Canal street". It spread with alarming
rapidity, and beforo It was subdued tmd
swept away 11 lurgo portion of South
Chicago. Tho damage, however, was com
paratively within bounds, most of tho
buildings destroyed being framo and of
small bi'zc.
TIIK ORKAT FIRE.
Tho origin of the Sunday night lire has
already been stated. It was occa-ioned by
the explosion of a kereoseno lamp in it
barn near DcKovcn street. Tho flames at
once enveloped the 'table and spread to ad
joining wooden buildings, which wero soon
in a blaze. A strong wind prevailed ut
the time, and all eHorts to subduo the flro
were unavailing. In a few minutes it had
reached a large rooting eUabli-hment,
where over l.OOU barrels ol tar were stored
and this it was which t;uve it in fearful
velocity. The contliigration became uen-
ernl nnd roared like a vast furnace. Iron
buildintrs, which wero Minno-ed to be lire
prooi, mciicu noun in niuw minutes, nnd
solid stono churohe- ank before it as if
blown up by powder. I counted
TWENTY-NINE RUINS OF CHVltCHES
many of them as lino structures ns any in
uiu country, aim which co-i not ic-s oil
an average than $75,000 each. A few baro
walls only are left to tell the storv of their
former grandeur. Leaving tho corner of
Congress street ami .Michigan avenue, ami
driving along tho luko nnd through tho up
per portion of tho city to Lincoln park, for
livo miles, the eyo rests upon nothing but
a shapeless mnss of wreck nnd ruin. ' Tho
great cathedral, the bishop's mansion, Pot
ter Palmer's hotel palace, hundreds of
elegant nnd expensive stores nnd dwel
lings nil full beforo the tlumc storm, which
consumed in twenty-four lionrs 11 vo hun
dred millions of dul'ltirs worth of property.
A SINdFI.AR ClKlTMSTANl't:
is the entiro absence of iubbi-h -initio from
tho walls left standim Scarcely a stono
or brick or scrap ol iron can bo seen on iho
ground. It is all reduced to powder.
1 Lo lira pa-sea by anil iirounil the water
tower fronting tho avenue, without oven
shattering a pane of glass, tmd attacked
tho rear building, burning out all the
wood works and injuring ilio engines so as
to render them powerless. This cut oil'
tho supply of water, and left tho great city
entirely nt tho mercy of tho merciless
lloud.
THE HEAVIEST SUFFERERS.
I had a lencthv conversation with .M.
I), Ogden, Kn-ij., tho largest lumber dealer
in tho West. His residence alono escaped,
and now stands solitnry and alono in it
wilderness of desolation, coverinc an area
three miles long by 0110 111 ilu wide. It is
n double framo structure, two stories high,
with a Alansnrd root, ami escaped without
being even scorched. Tho linmes cnine
sweopiiiK down Dearborn street, leavini:
scarcely on stono upon another, and was
caught by a counter current of wind just
at his house, and changing its course, shot
in anoiuer uireetion, loaving nothing in
its wako but wreck nnd ruin. In other
portions of tho city itr. Ogden was less
fortunate. His vast lumber yards wero
swept nway, including thrco and a half
million feet of pino and other lumber, nnd
entailing upon him a loss of fully two mil
lions 01 ttoiiars,
A SAD SCENE.
Ills nephew, AVm. Jones, is ainunir thu
many victims who wero dovoured by tho
names, no romoveu iih lamiiy irom 111s
residence, and had parted with his wife
but iv few moments, when his horse nnd
buggy wero seon dashing nlong tho strecU,
and It Is presumed that thu young mini
wus thrown cut and burnt boforo ho could
oseupu, To ndd to his losses, Mr, Ogdeu
received a telegram yesterday announcing
that his lumbor mills at Pestigo, on Urcon
Hay, Wisconsin, lmd been destroyed, to
ILLINOIS, SATURDAY OCTOBER M
gether with tho town, burning alivo thirty
, souIk, Including hii partner, wife nnd three
.iuil-ii, ins nepnew nnci wifo rum iih u-
perlntcndcnt and family of thice. Tho
uispatch ndded: "Tho woods aro all
ablaze, and vo fear your plnorv will bo de
stroyed." .Mr. Ogden boro up'brnvcly tin
der this scries of upnlling disaster?, merely
remarking : " If this bo true, I shall lose
'iw.wj more ana be a ruincu man.
This is hut ono of tho many terriblo storic
I henr hourly.
POTTER PALMER'S LOSSES
iuo Immense. Two miles of mngiilflcent
store on Stato street nro In ruins uni his
grand hotel, tho Pacific House, Is gon.
Ho had invested million a of dollars in
building up Chicago, and to do this had
mortgaged heavily the larger part of his
improved property. It was but a short
time boforo tho flro that ho had secured a
loan of SU;0,000 nt 7 3.10 per cent., nnd ho
hns nothing left to meet his heavy loans
but barren lots and what little improved
property may lmvo been spared in the
southern part of tho city, entirely inade
quate to iniiko him whole. He was largely
insured in home companies, most of which
are bankrupt and unablo to meet their
loses.
THE OltKAT IIONFIItK.
Tho elevators, which completely envi
roned thu city, and which contributed
largely to the trade of Chicago, wore swept
nwuy in a few moments. Thero nro but
four left standlmr, two owned by Munri !fc
Scott, ono by Flint A- Thompson, and thu
Central elevator on tho Iiikc. Three mil
lion bushels of grain urc still burning, mak
ing monstrous bonfires, which, with tho
ncres of coal on lire, cast a dismal glnro
over tho ruins nt night, 11 11 1 present n
sickening spectacle.
THE LOS- OF LIFE
cannot nt present bo computed, but it has
doubtles been fearful. Already over 11
hundred charred bodies have been dug
from tho ruin, nnd hundred of frantic
persons scouring thocitv in search of their
loved ones, who havo been missing sinco
fcunduy. An old French womnn, who
baroly escaped with her, told mo to-day
that alio counted no less than forty person-,
men, women and children, ih tho
river at ono time, all of whom mot 11
watery iirnve.
A FKARFCL REPORT.
Tho servants nt tho Tremont houso wero
in the top story of tho hotel at the time of
its conflagration, nnd as none of them have
been seen since, it is feared that they were
burned to death. Tiiere wero about fortv
of them.
WHAT li LEFT OF TIIK CITY.
Theontiro business portion of the city Is
de-troyed. The paido of Chicago, Sl'nto
street, with its largo stono row, Jtundolph,
11.1! r 1 ..... . . '
jinui-on, jionroo nmi v nsiiingion street,
with their grand hotel, massive insurance
and banking establishments and wholesale
houses, are laid in nhe-. The Wet side
stands as before, but. with few exceptions,
contains nothing but frame building-.
Portions of 'WaUa-h and Michigan nve-nue-
nnd the North end remain, with
nomo handsome residence, but the valua
ble ami ulegnnt portion of the city aro a
tuns- of smouldering ruins. Tin p"'.oIlice
nnd custom houo sutl'ercd less from tho
continuation, perhaps, than most of tho
building. Everything of nn intlammu

A HEART RENDING fcCENE.
1 went out yesterday to the jiruirie
where tho houseless sutl'ercr took shelter,
and I never beforo witnessed such a heart
rending spectacle. Spread out upon the
ground wero fomo seveniy-uvo tiiosuami
persons', most of thorn without a blanket
to cover them, nnd all Mill'ering from cold
nnd neglect. They informed me that their

number nail uieii. uno poor woman was

tho city nnd atlbriled shelter, raiment and
nnd food as rapidly ns po-sible.

A portion of tho citv has been in dark

of gas work in tho cast nnd soutli portion
of the city. Tho western works are tho
property of C. K. Garrison, Esq., o( Now

luid through the tunnel to connect the east

days. Thero being but ono residunce on
