Chicago, 1:1., Aug 24 A tire
which, iu the extent of territory it
coveied, almost rivals Chicago's his
toric conflagration began in that
part of the cit7 known as South
Chicago, thirteen miles from the
City hall, about 5 o'clock this after
noon. It is estimated that 2o0 buildings
were burned aud many people ren
dered homeless. The Joss approxi
mates $1,000,000
From a three story brick building
at the corner of Ninety first street
aud Superior avenue, flames which
rapidly grew iu volume under a gale
of wind from the west ate its way
over block after block of small frame
r ;sidences until they reached the
ake Within two hours the flames
had consumed at least thirty build
ings aud live blocks of the greatest
industrial suburb of Chicago. The
50,000 residents of Ithe town wtre
precipitated into a panic, second
only in this city to that which chur
acterized the conflagration of 1871.
As the pine structures in which
ivel the workingmen employed in
the large steel mills of the Uliuois
Steel company, aud the small mer
chants of the place made their homes
were leveled by the roaring flames,
those whose homes had not vet
burned fled with valuables and
household chattels to the other por
lions of the city. Streets were
blockaded with wagons containing
the effects of the frightend resi
dents.
Men aud women fled in every di
rectiou. Fiom the brick building in
which the fire had its origiu, aud be
fore the few fire engines of the dis
trict could make the slightest lm
pression upon the flames, they
bounded eastward between Ninet
first and Ninetieth streets iu the di
rectiou of the lake. House after
house fell before the sweep of the
fire, hurled blaziug brands far in
advance, After Superior avenue.the
flames crossed Ontario avenue, Buff
alo avenue, Mackinaw avenue and
Greau Bay avenue.
Before the scores of engines had
made the hast appreciable effect
upoa the progress of the flames, the
immense docks of the Sunday Creek
Coal compauy were iu rums. Over
100,000 tons of coal are stored in the
immense bins, which extern! for 500
feet along the river front. The earl
iest estimate ventured was that the
loss at this place alone would easily
be $200,000.
Wheu the fire began iu the coal
yards everything that could be spar
eJ and the powerful steamer Yose
mite, as soon as it reached the har
bor, was brought to fight the con
ignition. At the same moment the
Arbeck lumber Yards, with dock
frontages almost as great as those of
the Suuday Creek company, were
found to be burning, and there the
first great battle of the firemen with
she flames was begun. The fire de
dartuieut had only by this time sue
ceeded in getting together sufficient
number of engines to give it any
chauce at all agaiust the roaring
mass of flames.
There were but seven engines on
the ground at this time, aud the fire
boat arrived just in time to lend its
powerful aid at the critical moment.
Several small building bad been torn
down by the firemen and citizens,
and this gave them a breathing spell
which ultimately proved decisive for
the firemen, though at first not able
to do more than keep the flames in
check and steadily beat them down
when the additional engines arriv
ed. By 8 o'clock the coal in the yards
of the Sunday Creek company and
Beck's lumber yard were the only
places where the fire was still up
per most, and in a short time it was
practically under control aud all
danger of its spreading further was
over.
""' CACSE OF THE FIEE.
There appears to be no doubt but
that the terrible conflagration origi
nated in the destroyed dwelling of
Master Mechanic William Gilles, an
employe of the rolling Mills. Mr.
Gilles dwelling was located at 162
Ninety-first street, where he lived
with Lis family, includiug Lis daugh-
ter, to whose youthful feminine van-
it v must be attributed the begin-,
ning of the fire. Miss Gilles, accord-
inff to those who had. lived iu the !
vicinity, was engaged about 4:30
o'clock in preparing her evening
toilette Iu this she was usiug a
lamp to heat her curling-iron, and
while arranging her bangs the lamp
was overturned, aud au explosion
followed, which in the end wrecked
the homes of several thousand peo
ple. Conservative estimate put the
aggregate loss iu the residence dis
trict at $400,000, the Sunday Creek
Coal company has lost fully $250,
000 aud that of the Beck Lumber
company $200,000 The latter com
pany recently made an assignment
and had just resumed business after
making arrangements with its credi
tors. Its large stock of lumber is
completely destroyed and its busi
ness is once mere at a standstill.
Despite the rapid ty with which
the flames spiead, aud the crash and
panic which at oue time choked up
the streets, no lives, as far as is
known, were lost.
The Only True Test of Religion.
Ye shall know them by their
fruits. Matthew, vii , 16.
It is perfectly safe to declare that
the man who is loya.1 to a high mor
al ideal will produce a life quite
worthy of our attentiou
A low theory is sure to show itself
in low deeds Great aims are apt to
be followed by great achievements.
Hitching your wagou to a star is not
a figment of the poet s imagination;
it is the exaggerated expression of a
divine possibility If one projects
hiH thoughts towards the heavens he
will at least kick the earth from un
der his feet. Companionship with
uoble idtas makes vulgarity distaste
ful. Christianity claims the reyerence
of mankind because it urges you to
climb high aud acquire a wider h m
zou The absorption of its truths is
equivalent to re-incarceration, or re
creation, or a re formation, for the
bases elements die out just as sav
age races die out aud a nob'er man
hood supplants them just as civili
zation supplants barbarism. We es
timate the value of Christianity, l ot
by the creeds of churches nor by the
the logy of learned scholars, but ly
its effect on society. In like manner
we estimate the value of a new in
vention the telegraph for instance
not by the language of the patent
which covers and protects it, but by
its ability to carry our messages
from one eud of the country to the
other. If it will do the work we want
done it is priceless; if it f ills wheu
tested in that way it is worthless.
Christianity does work, aud there
foiv we can't get along without it.
