A fow of the porters ud dray men employed by these stores were working manfully, but there were eostomoogen’wagons, dirt carts, ud even coaches backed np ud re- ceivingthe goods, ud s villainous crowd of men ud boys chaffing curb other ud tearing open parcels to discover the nature of their oontents. 1 reached the St. James between 2 and." o’clock on Monday morning. It was reported to be on fire, bnt I did not see the flames then. Mrs. Frear had been removed in u insensible state to the house of a friend on the north side. I could learn no other particular*. The house was in a dreadful state of disorder. Women ud children were screaming in every direction and baggago being thrown about in the most reckless manner. I now concluded that Mrs. Freer’* children had been lost. It reported that hundreds of people had perished in the flames. There was s crowd of men ud women at the hotel from ono of the large boarding booses in the neighborhood of State ud Adams street, ud they said thoy barely escaped with their lives, leaving everything behind. At this time it seemed to me that the fire would leave noth ing. l’eople coming in said the Shermu House w*s going, ud that the Opera House had caught. Finally word was brought that tho bridges were burning, and all escape was cut off to the north and weBt. Then ensued a scene which waa beyond description. Men shonted the nows and added to the pa uio. Women, half dressed ud many of them with screaming children, fled out of the bnilding. There was • ism in the doorway and they struck and clawed each other as if in self-defence. I lost sight of my nephew at this time. Getting out with the crowd I started ud ran round toward the Tre- mont House. Beaching Dearborn street the gust of fire was so strong that I could hardly keep my feet. I ran on down toward the Tre- mout. Here the same scene was being enacted with tenfold violence. The elevator hud got jammed, ud the screams of women on the up per floors were heart rending. I forced my way upstairs, seeing no fire, ud looked into all tho open rooms, calling alood the names of Mrs. Froar's daughters. • Women wero swarming in the parlors; invalids, brought there for safety, wero lying upon the floor. Others were run ning distracted about, calling upon their has- buds. Men, polo and awo-struck and silent, looked on without any means of averting the mischief. All this time tho upper part of the house was on lira The street was choked with people, yelling ud moaning with excitement and fright. I looked down upon them from an npper win dow a moment, and saw far np Dearborn street the bnge flames pouring in from tho side streets I had traversed bnt u hour ago, and it ap- peared to me that they were impelled with the force of a tremendous blowpipe. Everything that they touched melted. Presently the smoke began to roll down tho stairways, and almost immediately after the men who had been at work on the roof came running down. They made no ontcry, but hurried from tho house as if for their lives. I went np to the fourth story, looking into every room, and kicking open those that were locked. There were sevorul other men nearching in tho same manner, but I did not notice Uiaui. While uphere I obtained a view of tho conflagration. It was advucing steadily npon the hotel from two or three points. There was very little smoke; it burned too rap idly, or what there was must have been carried away on the wind. The whole was accompa nied by a crackingnoiseasof on enormous bun dle of dry twigs burning, and by explosions Ihut followed each other in quick succession on all sides. When I was going down I found one of the men dragging an insensible woman down the stairs by her shoulders. She was an unusu ally Urge woman, ud bad on a striped sntin dress ud a great quantity of jowolry, which I supposed sho had put upon her person for safety. I assisted him to carry her down, and when she reached tbo lower story to my surprise she snd- denly recovered lior consciousness and ran away followed by tho mu, From tbo street entrance I canid see np Denr- born street as far as the l’ortland block, and it was fall of people all the distance, swaying ud surging under tbo rain ol firo. Around on Luke streot the tumult was worse. Here for tho first time I beheld scones of violenco that made my blood boil. In front of Shay's magnificent dry goods store a mu loaded a store truck with silks in defiance of tho employes of the place. When ho bad piled all he coaid npon tbo track some ono with a revolver shonted to him not to drive away or ho would fire at him, to which he re- plied, “Fire, and be-damned 1” aud the man put the pistol in bis pocket again. J ust east of this store there was at least a ton of fancy goods thrown into tho street, over which tbo people ud vehicles passed with utter indifference, un til thoy took fire. I saw, myself, a ragamuffin on the Clark streot bridge, who bad been killed by a marble'slab thrown from a window, who bad white kid gloves on bis bulls, and whose pockets were staffed with gold plated sleeve buttons, ud on that same bridge I saw an Irish woman leading a goat that was big with yonng by ono arm, wliilo nnder the other she carried a pioce of silk Lake street was rich with trensnre, and hordes of thieves forced their way into the stores and flung ont the merchandise to their fellows in the street, who received it without disgrace, and fought over it openly. I went through tho street to Wabash avenue, and here the thorough- fare was utterly choked with all manner of goods and people. Everybody that had been forced from Uio other ud ot the town by the advucing firo had brought some article wiUi him, ud, as further progress was delayed, if not completely stopped by the river, the bridges of which wore also choked, most of them, in their puic, abandoned their burdens, so that tho streets ud sidewalks presented tho most as tonishing wreck. Valuable oil paintings, books, pet animals, musical instruments, toys, mirrors and bedding were trampled under foot. Added to this the goods from the stores bad been haul ed out ud had taken fire, and tbo crowd break- ing into a liquor establishment were yelling with tho fary of demons as they brandished champagne and brandy bottles. The brutality and horror of the sceno made it sickening. A fellow standing on a piano declared that the fire was the friend of the poor man. He wanted everybody to help himself to the best liquor ho could get, and continued to yell from tho piano util somo ono as drunk as himself flung a bot tle at him and knocked him off it. In this chaos wero hundreds of children wailing and crying for their parents. One little girl, in particular, I saw, whose golden hair was loose down her back ud caught fire. She ran screaming past me and somebody threw a glass of liquor upon her which flared np ud covered her with a blao flame. It was impossible to get through to tho bridgo, ud 1 waa forced to go back towards llandolf street There was a strange and new fascination in the scenes that I could not re sist It was now daylight, and tho firo was raging closely all about me. Tho Court bonae, the Sherman bouse, tho Tremont House, ud the wholesale stores on Wabash avenue, ud the retail stores on Lake street wero burning. The erics of tho nialtitndo on tho latter streets had now risen into a terrible roar, for (he flinies were breaking into the river streets. I saw the stores of Messrs. Drake, Hamlin ud Furwell burn. They ignited suddenly all over in a man ner entirely now to me, jnst as I have aeon pa per do that is held to the fire util it is scorched ud breaks ont in flame. The crowds who were watching them greeted the oombustion with ter rible yells. In one of the stores—I think it was Hamlin s—there wero a number of men at the timo on tho several floors passing ont goods, ud when the llames blown over against it en veloped the bnilding they were lost to sight entirely; nor did I see any effort whatever made to save them, for Uio heat was so in- tense that everybody was driven as before a tornado from the vicinity of the buildings. were piled np twelve and fifteen feet high with goods Luckily Wood knew where to find Mrs. Frear, ud he arrived at the house jnst in time to get her into a baker's wagon, which Wood and I polled for half a mile. She was in a ter rible condition, being hysterical, and when we were in Des Plaines street again there came an omnibus loaded with frightened children, through Like street. They were crying ud screaming, ud Mis. Frear heard them and began to screech at the top of her voice. The man who was during the omnibus stooped ud yelled after ns to know where we were taking that woman. It was impossible to get the wagon through the street on account of the goods, ud so we were forced to go half a mile further out of our way.

So ^ ten, all screaming ud now found myself carried by the throng back ’, crossing each other's to near Lake street, ud determined if possible * to get over the river. I managed to accomplish this after a ssvere struggle ud at the risk of my life. The rail of the bridge was broken sway, ud a number of small boats loaded with goods were passing down the stream. How many peoplo were poshed over tho bridge into the water I cannot tell. I saw ono mu myself stumble under a load ot clothing ud disappear, nor did the occupants of the boats pay the slightest attention to him nor to the crowd overhead, except to guard against anybody fall ing into ibuir vessels. Once over tho river I felt safe. It seemed to mo highly improbable that the fire would leap the stream, which at this point is the widest. Alas, those who were there tell me that the flames of the horning storehouses on water street wero blown in to the windows on tho other side, ud that before the houses that line the south side were half consumed those on the oth- wero crackling ud flaming with intensity. I went through North water street, meeting with a frantic multitude teeming from each of the bridges, ud by a tiresome detour got round to the weat side. When I arrived at my sister’s boose I found my nephew there, who informed me that Mrs. Frear bad been taken to a private house on Huron street, and was perfectly safe ud well eared for. I was wet and scorched ud bedraggled. My clothes were burnt foil of boles on my arms ud shoulders and back. I asked Wood to make some coffee, which he promised to do, and I fell down in the hallway and went to sleep. I oould not have lain there half u hoar when Wood awoke me, saying the fifc was sweeping everything before it in the direction of Lincoln Pork, and that Mrs. Frear most be moved again. We both started out then ud walked and ran ms fast aa wo oould iu the direction of north sida It was about 8:30 o'clock. We could see across the river at the cress streets that where yesterday was a populous city was now a moss of smoking ruins. All the way round wo ucountered thousands of people, but the excitement had given way to a terrible grief ud scenes of desolation.

Forthi* purpose the surest and hm remedy is Bchenek*# Mandrake Pills. These Pills clean the stomach and bowels of all the deal and mor bid slime that is causing disease and decay in the whole system. They will clear out the liver of all dis eased bUo that has accumulated there, and route it up to a sew and healthy action, by which natural aud healthy bile is secreted. The stomach, bowels ud liver arc thus cleansed by tho use of tiehenck** Mandrake Pills; but there re mains in the stomach an excess ot acid, the organ is torpid ud tho appetite poor. In the boweTs the lac teal* arc weak, and reqairinir strength and support. It is in a condition like this that bchenck’s Seaweed Tonic prove* to be the most valuable remedy ever discovered. It is alkaline, and its use will neutralize all excess of acid, making the stoutsch sweet ud tresh; it will five permanent tone to^this important organ, ud create a good, hearty appetite, and pre- pirc the system lorthe first process of a good diges tion, ud ulti irately make good, healthy, living blood. Alter this preparatory treatment, what remains to care most case* of Goosmuption is the ficoand perse vering use of fc'chcnck'* Pulmonic tsyrup. The Pul monic Syrup nourishes the system, purifies the blood, and i* rcidiiy absorbed into the eircalation. and tbenco distributed to the diseased lungs. There it ripens all morbid matters, whether in the form of ab scesses or tubercles, ud then assists nature to expel all the diseased matter in the form of free expectora tion. when occo it ripens. It is (hen. by the great healing ud purifyirg properties of Schcnck’s pul monic c'yrup. that all ulcer* and cavities are healed up sound, ud mr patient is cored. The essential thing to be done in curing Consump tion is to get up a good appetite ud a good digestion, so that ihe body will grow in flesh and getstrong. If a person has diseased lungs—a cavity or abscess there —the cavity cunot heal, the matter cunot ripen, so lonr as the system is below par. What is ne:e*sary to cure is a new order of things—a good appetite, a good nutrition, the body to grow In flesh and get fat; then Nature is helped, the cavities will heal, the matter will ripea ud be thrown off in large qoutitics. and the person regain health ud, strength This is the true a:d only plan.to core Consumption, and if a person is very bad, if the lungs are not entirely de stroyed, or even if one .lung is entirely gone, if there is enough vitality left in the other to heal up, there is hope. I have seen many persons cared with only one sound luog. live and enjoy life to a good eld age.— 'this is wnat tfehencks Medicines will do to eare Consumption. They will clesn out the stomach, sweeten ud strengthen it. get up a good digestion, and give Nature the assistance she need* to clear the system of all the disease that is in the lunge, what ever the form may be It is important that while mmg Schenck’s Medi cines care should be exercised not to take cold: keep in-doors in cold ud damp weather; pvoid night air, ud take out-door exercise only in a genial and warm sunshine. 1 wish it distinctly understood that when I recom mend a patient to be caretnl in regard to taking oold, while using my medicines. I do ro for a special rea son. A mu who has bat partial! v recovered from the effect* of a bad cold is far more liable to a relapse thu one who has been entirely cured; and it is pi eiiely the same in regard to Consumption. Fo L. m the lungs are not perfectly healed, just so long is there imminent danger of a lull return of the disease. Hence it is that iso strenuously caution pulmonary patient* against exposing themselves to u atmos phere that is not genial ul pleasant.
