Chicago Again in Flames.
Washington, July 14.—Telegrams re
ceived here to-night report another large
fire in Chicago, which destroyed over
half a mile of the southern portion of the
city. It began on 12tli street, on the
south side, and *so far, it has been con
fined to old rookeries, but it is feared
that it will extend to the lake side. Tho
wind was blowing fresh from the south
west. The Baptist church has been de
stroyed, and at this time tho flames have
reached the post office. Assistance has
been asked from adjoining towns. Tele
graph communication is nearly suspend
ed.
The FIro Still Raging.
Chicago, July 14.—Another conflagra
tion is raging in the heart of the city. It
broke out on Twelfth street and at half
past six the flames had made almost a
clear Bweep up to the corner of Third
avenue, and Folk street, burning up the
honsos of thousands of people. At the
above comer the fire department com
menced tho process of blowing up build
ings «with gun powder, but the buildings
experimented with were small wooden
affairs, and the process wonld only have
the effect of making a quicker blaze of
them. The wind is blowing very fresh
from about south to southwest.
_ The fire is now on the verge of the fire
line of our big fire at Harrison street.
The west side of Wabash avenue is now
in full blaze, which takes many a stately
building in its course which offered a
haven of refuge in the winter of 1871.
The fire is just immediately in tho rear
of tho Baptist Church, and should that
structure go dowD, the fire will have a
clear sweep to northward and east, and
the Exposition building will, in all proba
bility, be the final prey of the fire, and as
that is immediately on the lake shore,
there will be nothing for tho fire to feed
upon, provided we have the good fortune
not to have a change of the wind.
The Turf.

Madrid, July 14.—The Republican
troops are are marching to relieve Pui-

Latest from Chicago.
Chicago, July 14.—A dense black pall
of smoke is hanging over the expected
course of the fire. Although private
citizens are doing their utmost to prevent
the fire from getting a hold upon their
homes, yet their efforts are as futile os
for a child to make_-4ho attempt. The
roar of the advancing furnace has the
sound of our old -calamity, and nothing
short of its final plunge into Lake Michi
gan will quench it.
Our streets within a mile of the con
flagration are crowded with teams of
every description, loaded to their utmost
capacity with household goods. Although
storekeepers who ore so fortunate os to
secure a team are endeavoring to save
their most valuable stock, wherever a
vacant space noith of the fire can he
found it is at once filled with goods of all
descriptions and varieties. Men, women
and-children are doing all they can to
save their little all and bring it to some
place of safety.
The fire from this on will bum up as
much in five minutes as it had previously
done in fifteen, considering tho value of
dollars and cents. The heat is very great
and no doubt that in addition to pecuni
ary losses we will have to mourn tho loss
of lives, as it i3 next to impossible for a
fire of this magnitude and fury and burn
ing through as closely a settled district
03 thi3, without human sacrifice.
As the post office is directly in tho line
with the fire, it3 employees will have all
they can do to save tho mail matter in
the building, and consequently there will
be no mails from the city this evening,
and thero can by no possibility be ono
sent before to-morrow evening. The
principal lines of tho Western Union
Telegraph Company running east through
State street have all been burnt—some
forty wiresbut as the lines on Canal
street arc oat of all possible danger, there
will be no interruption of telegraphic
communication.
The fire has burnt over, so far, about
half a mile in length, and some four
blocks in width, and although the explo
sion of gunpowder is still heard every
little while, there is but little hopes of
staying the fire short of the limits given
above.
Later.—The fire broke out at the cor
ner of Twelfth and Harrison streets, and
has now swept to corner of Harrison and
Lako streets. The post-offico has been
destroyed—contents saved. Gardener and
Matterson houses are in danger. The
firemen have no control over the flames.
Tho excitement is intense.
The New Torpedo Boats.
Washington, July 14.—The new tor
pedo boat, Intrepid, recently launched at
Boston, will make a trial trip to Key
West, where experiments as to her prac
tical workings will he made. A number
of officers have already been ordered to
her, most of whom have been on duty at
the torpedo station at New York. Tho
vessel is about 450 tons burden, and wa3
designed by naval constructor Hancom,
chief of the bnreau of construction.
Another torpedo boat now being built
at New York, wa3 designed by Admiral
Porter, but is smaller than the one just
launched, being of 340’tons. No name
has yet been fired upon for that vessel,
bnt it is proposed to tall her the Alarm.
The two ues3els aro veiy different in de
sign and finish.
The one now being built at New Yo?k
will be brought hero to the Washington
navy yard shortly after being launched
to receive her outfit, as well as the fowler
wheel, a new propelling instrument never
before used on vessels of our navy. The
boat designed by Admiral Porter will be
armed with an 11 inch gun, but that de
signed by Mr. Hancom will carry no
guns. The object of these vessels is to
explode torpedoes under enemies’ ships
by means of arms and prows to which
the torpedoes are attached.

tion grows out of a conflict of opinion be
tween himself end other prominent offi
cers of tho Treasury with reference to the
appointment of elerks in his own bureau.
Crops In Minnesota.
St. Paul, Minn., July 14.—Alluding
to the impression which seems to bo prev
alent at the East, that nearly the entire
State croD3 aro utterly destroyed, tho
Press this morning publishes a state
ment showing that the total damage
done by the grasshoppers’ raid is equiv
alent to a loss of about one-twelfth of
tho usual crop, or about the same as if
the average yield throughout tho State
were diminished from any source some
thing over one and a half bushels per
acre below the general average. It ex
tends over only abont one-tenth of tho
State and involves about one-thirteenth
of tho population. The crops outside tho
devastated region promise a most abun
dant yield.

Michigan avenue, but has not damaged
that street to any great extent. Some
twenty blocks are burned. »
The loss is variously estimated,- but
cannot be given with accuracy. It will not
be less than four millions and probably
will not be over sir millions. This is cov
ered by abont two-fifths insurane, which
, divided among numerous companies,
is Since the great fire companies have

Cr«p Report.
Washington. July 15.—Tho cotton
planters report to tie Department of
Agriculture, in accordance with condi
tional promise of June, an increase in tho
condition of the plant in every State.
Tho per centages of the average condi
tion are higher than in June by tho fol
lowing figures: 3 in Louisiana; 4 in Ar
kansas ; 6 in Florida; 7 in South Caro
lina; 9 in Mississippi; 10 in Alabama;
11 in GeorgLa; 12 in Tennessee and Tex
as; 13 in North Carolina. Texas and North
Carolina return a condition above aver
age. The following are the State aver
ages : North Carolina, 102; South Caro
lina, 88; Georgia, 91; Florida, 9G; Ala
bama, 92; Mississippi, 87; Louisiana,
73; Texas, 102;’Arkansas, 94; Tennes
see, 97. Ajs compared with July of last
year, the condition is higher, except in
Florida, Louisiana and Arkansas, though
the difference is slight in Tennessee aryl
Georgia, and Hot very wide in Missis
sippi and Alabama.
In North Carolina the temperature ha3
been high, rains seasonable and growth
raised, though the plant is- still small
and ten days late in certain counties.
The fields have generally had good prep
aration and clean culture. Edgecombe,
which produces one-eighth of the cotton
of the State, returns the condition at 110.
The improvement has been rapid in
South Carolina, and is still progressing,
though the growth 03 not advanced to an
average. Lice infest the fields. Dar
lington, yielding one-seventh of the fibre
of the State, returns the condition at 90.
Seventy-three counties in Georgia, rep
resenting two-third3 of tho crop, report
a thrifty growth, a backward season, too
much rain, better and cleaner tillage than
last year, and less of fertilizers used.
Rumors of the caterpillar come up from
Southwestern Georgia.
An improvement is manifested in Flori
da, with too abundant rains in some
counties and a tendency to the shedding
of forms.
While rains have been frequent in Ala
bama, the fields have generally been kept
clean. In seven counties, which yield a
third of the crop of the State, the condi
tion is placsd at 90. In DuUock. Bar
bour, Montgomery, Maringo, and Russell
80, and 100 in Dallas. None are lower
than 75 or higher than 110.
The crop is late in Mississippi, but
growing rapidly. It is grassy in places,
yet mnch cleaner than last year, The
condition ranges from fifty in Tunica,
where it was destroyed by overflow, 110
in De Soto and several other counties.
In Louisiana nlanting continued after
the overflow until Juno 15, and the ciop
is therefore later than, elsewhere and ho3
suffered in places from ent worms, drought
and excessive rains. The caterpillars 1 avo
appeared in Rapides.
Rarely has Texas had better promise
of a fine crop. In some counties the
growth is not well advanced. In a few
localities the plants made their appear
ance late in Jnne. The stand is gener
ally better than in other States.
Drought has been injurious in Arkan
sas. Some localities have had no rain in
eight weeks. In one township in Inde
pendence 1,000 acres were left unculti
vated on account of drought. Rains have
been more general of late in portions of
the State, yet fully half tho counties re
port 100 and above.
A majority of the counties of Tennes
see return an average condition, a few
range from 65 to 100, and Shelby coun
ty, which yields one-sixth of the State’s
aggregate, is placed at 110.
IndlanADemocratlc State Convention

Particulars of the Chicago Fire.
Chicago, July 15.—Tho fire yesterday
originated in a low frame building used
for storing rags, and adjoining an oil fac
tory that stood between Fourth avenue
and Clark street, on Taylor street. There
was a stiff southwest breeze blowing, so
that by the time the flames had con
sumed these small buildings stables, car
penter shops and buildings filled with
oil, paper and rags, and reached State
street, where there were substantial bus
iness houses, they were like the heat of a
furnace, and allconsuming in power. The
newspapers comment in strong terms on
the folly of allowing wooden buildingr to
be erected inside the city limits. Most
prominent among the business losses are
tho St. James Hotel, lVm. Bademan,

naces, ranges, etc.; Frost & Cc., whole
sale liquora; John D. McLean & Co., stoves
and ranges; H. & M. Nowberger, furni
ture; Van Bramer & Flood, hardware,
and many others.
The area burned over covers fifteen
squares, taking bits and half blocks hero
and there, and lumping the whole the
burned area is tbout half a mile long
and a little less in width, and embraced
tumble down shanties and palatial av
enue residences. The losses are as fol
lows: In Clark street, $30,000; Fourth

avenue, $1,700,000; Michigan avenue,
$150,000; Taylor street, $50,000; Polk
street, $40,000; Harrison street, $50,000;
Congress street, $75,000; Van Buren
street, $50,000; tho court between jWa-
bash avenue and State street, $150,000.

Chicago, July 15, 8 p. m.—Another fire
broke out about 4.80 P. xi., in tho western
part of tho city in the junction of Mil
waukee nnd Chicago avenue. Ono thou
sand five hundred and twenty buildings,
comprising stores, saloons, planing and
carpenter shops were burned in a short
time—the flam03 fanned by a brisk
northwest breeze, and fed by very inflam-
able material. The fire department suc
ceeded in checking the progress of the
flames before it did any further damage
than already stated. Considerable ex
citement prevailed for a time. A repeti
tion of the scenes of last night was
feared.
Later—The fire originated in Dugan’s
smoke-house in the rear of his packing
establishment, and nearly an entire block
was burned, but the buildings were most
ly of an inferior sort, and tho planing
mill wo3 destroyed with some valuable
machinery and patterns. The loss is es
timated at $GO,000.

Tlie Kentucky Girls.
Tho Louisville Courier-Journal is re
sponsible for the following:
Tho only State in the Union capable of
running itself with a petticoated govern
ment is Kentucky, which is already ruled
by its women. There ia nothing they
don’t know, and what they don’t know
they divine. A man cannot creep in a
little late at night without a disturbance
and an explanation, which comes of their
training. Even Slybuck, who is the
smartest of “smart Alecks,” has learned
also the futility of his best tricks. The
sick-friend dodge; the late-session-of-
the-eociety dodge; the meeting-of-ooun-
cil dodge; the coming-homc-from-the-
market-with-the.brace-of.chickensdodge,
all tho old shifts and expedients have
played out. The other night he slipped
in about ono o’clock voiy softly, denuded
himself gently and began rocking the
cradle by tho bedside as if he had been
awakened out of a sound sleep by infan
tile cries. He had rocked away fer five
minutes, when Mary Jane, who had si
lently observed the whole maneuvre,
says, “Come to bed, you fool, you 1 the
baby ain't there:
A Blood-Curdling Feat.
Donaldson has added another fright
ful trick to his eAolutions in the clouds
on the trapeze bar. He says the regular
crop is uninteresting now. Now he does
something worth doing, he says. The
ring to which the trapeze is attached af
fords him an enlarged opportunity. He
hangs on to his toes on the ring, and
when away up a half a mile above the
house tops, ho lets go entirely and drops
headlong down, and again catches him
self with his toes on the bar. This drop
ping act is pronounced the most frightful
and blood-curdling sight ever witnessed.
The seronaut hangs down his fall length,
straight and stiff, and all of a sadden he
drops and comes swooping down, only to
catch himself nicely at the proper time.
A wave of the hands and a graceful sal
ute from tho man hanging head down
ward bids-the awe-stricken multitude be
low to quiet their fears, for he is all safe
and sound.
Wheat.—The Knoxville Press add
Herald of Tuesday reports that advices
from the East and South are such as to

farmers think thoy should get $1.25. |.
Messrs. H. T. Cor and Co., of Atlanta,
under date of 11th, quote white wheat
at $1.25 to $1,30; red, $1.20 to $1.25.
Messrs. West and Ward, of Rome Ga.,
quote whito wheat at $1.10; red, $1.00.
Tho Baltimore Sun of the 10th says a

An Expert.
Dr. Price is well known as an expert in
the study of Culinary Chemistry, and all
of the manufactures of Steele & Price are
tho result of his researches. One of these
discoveries is the Cream Baking Powder,
by the use of which light, sweet biscuits,
cakes, etc., at all times are a certainty.
The market is flooded with cheap infe
rior baking powders, and adulteration is
so extensively practiced, that tho Cream
Baking Powder does the work with two-
thirds of the quantity reqaired of any
other kind. In view of such cheap im
positions, the public are advised to ask
for these pure and excellent articles, if
they cannot be obtained of ono grocer
may he of another. The purer the arti
cles that compose our daily food the bet
ter they are for health. Dr. Price’s True
Flavoring Extracts aro really delicious.
