Macon.
We spent one day of last week
in Macon. The first new feature
that presented itself was the street
cars. The street railway we found
completed from the Browu House,
on Fourth Street, to the centre of
attraction in the Central City just
now—Central Park—soon to be the
scene of the grandest fair ever yet
1 1 el cl by the Georgia State Agricul
tural Society. Soon after arriving,
we were seized upon by Macon’s
Model Mayor, lion. W. A. Huff,
and found, ourselves going at a two
forty rate in the direction of the
fair grounds.
The grand eutrance wins the ad
miration of every visitor, at the
outset; and after entering, a broad
sea of enchanting beauty is spread
out in every direction. The track
is the very best we have ever seen,
and pronounced by expeiieneed turf
men tho best in the South. Twen
ty thousand spectators can have an
uninterrupted view of the track at
one time, without the least discom
fort.
The arrangement for viewing the
boat races is splendid. A long is
land, connected with the main land
by a substantial bridge, is all that
could have been desired. But as
we have already published a detailed
account of the grounds, wc will
not repeat it here. Suffice it to
say, an unequalled scene of beauty
and attraction awaits the visitors
to the next Georgia State Fair.
Mayor Huff and his co-laborers
in this grand enterprise are deci
dedly the right men in the right
place.
We found business comparative
ly dull for the season, although the
merchants are getting in heavy
stocks and preparing for a heavy
trade.
The work of improvement still
goes on. Huge blocks of business
houses and dwellings of every de
scription are being built in all quar
ters.
Macon people now enjoy the lux
ury of ice at one cent per pound.
They have an ice manufactory in
successful operation.
Os course we went to the Brown
House. The cozey, comfortable
bid rooms, and tempting tables of
this [tricedv establishment, are ir
resistable after a fellow once tries
them. This house is all in trim for
the immense crowds that will visit
it during the State Fair.
The Episcopal Convention— A Con.
dilatory Report—Resolutions Fa
vor Inaction.
B.vi.TUiQßdt, October 7.—The
Episcopal ('onvcniion is engaged on
the obituaries of dceeased members.

wit: ;st. The use of incense. '2d.
Placing or retaining a crucifix in
any part of the church. Btl Carry,

them to or from the communicants.
6th. The mixing of water with the

that reverence at the mention of
the name of Lord Jesus is not in
tended to be disallowed ; it being
further provided that private or
personal devotion, before or after
official ministration, is not to be
understood to include Or justify any
of the acts prohibited. 9tb. The
celebration or receiving of the holy
communion by any Bishop or Priest
when tin person receives it with

the Digest; they further recom
mend here : Ist, That no Reetor of
a parish, or other minister, shall be
allowed to introduce the choral ser
vice without the consenting vote of
the vestry, or contrary to the prohi
bition of the Bishops. 2d. That no
surpliced chair shall be employed
except under the same limitations,
and when such chairs are employed
the only addition to their ordinary
a tire shall be a surplice reaching
to the ankles. 3d. 'That no Chan
cel shall be allowed to be so ar
ranged as to prevent the minister
from officiating at the right e.id of
the holy table. It is to be noted
that a credence table is lawful. 4th.
The Committee further recommet and
that cardinal provision be made
touching t e dress appropriate to
clergymen ministering in the c>i •
gregatioD and the only vestments
declared appropriate to clergyman
so ministering be, first, for Bishops,
the present episcopal robes; second,
for all ministers a white surplice, a
black or white stole, a black cas
sock not leaching below the ankles,
a black gown and bands. They al
so recommend that provision be
made: Ist. That on occasions of
services, where expediency or ne
cessity of health require it, the Uni
versity cap may be used. 2. That
candidates for orders, who are li
censed to act as lay readers, may
use the academical gown. 3d. In
addition to the Canonical provisions
now recommended, and in consider
ation of the fact that nothing can
be so plainly set forth, bat doubts
may arise in the use and the prac
tice of the same. The Convention
further unanimously recommend
that action be taken to carry out
in such manner as may secure its
observance. Tbe principle declared
in the second resolution sent to this
House by the House of Clerical and
Lay deputies, at the General Con
vention of 1868, to-wit : That all
matters of doubt reference shall be
made to the Ordinary, and no
charges shall be made against the
godly counsel and judgment of the
Bishops.
In conclusion, the committee re
commend the adoption of the fol
lowing resontions :
Resolved, That this report be
communicated to the House of Cler
ical and Lay Deputies.
Resolved, The House of Clerical
and Lay Deputies concurring, that
a ioint committee, consisting of
three Bishops of the Presbytery and
three Laymen be appointed, to
whom the subject matter of this le
port shall be referred, with discre
tion to report to this Convention at
an early a day as practicable, such
canon as they may deem necessary
in the premises, all of which is re
spectfully submitted.

TERRIBLE FIRE IN CHICAGO !
Ten Thousand Houses Burned !
The daily papers of Wednesday
contain extended telegraphic ac
counts of this terrible calamity,
from which we clip the following :
Chicago, Oct. 9. - Saturday night’s
fire had been subdued after the loss
of half a million-. Vincent, Nelson
& Co.’s immense grain elevator was
saved. Another fire in the Western
district commenced at nine o’clock
on Sunday night, two miles distant
from tbe Court House. At two
o’clock the fire had spread fearfully.
The flames approached the Tele
graph office and the wires com
menced falling. Twenty blocks
were destroyed. The wind was
blowing a gale from the south, and
the flaming brands were flying over
the city and threatening destruction
everywhere. The tower of the
Court House caught fire from a
flaming brand. The tire reached
West Mom qe street one mile from
the place of its origin. The fire is
beyond the control of the firemen.
Immense lumber yards, with freight
depots, were burned. The loss al
ready amounts to many millions.
The whole city is threatened and
the panic is increasing. At half
past two o’clock the telegraphers
abandoned ttte Western Union Tel
egraph Office.
Washington, Oct. 9.—Thirty
four blocks in Chicago have been
burned, and still the lire is raging.
The Mayor of Chicago has sont a
message to the Mayor of St. Louis
asking food for the sufferers, saying
the city is in ashes.
Later.— The fire is still raging
and spreading south. A railroad
superintendent telegraphs that the
fire has reached Wabash Avenue,
and is spreading rapidly. His lo
cation is three miles south of Wa
bash Avenue, and he expresses the
opinion that the fire will reach him
before night.
Chicago, Oct. 9, 10 o’clock a. m.
—The entire business portion of the
city is destroyed, and all the banks,
express and telegraph' and newspa
pers, except the Tribune, six eleva
tors and the water works are burn
ed. There is no water in the city.
Not less than teu thousand build
ings have already been destroyed.
The fire has burned the distance of
five miles, and is still raging. The
wind is blowing a gale. It will be
almost impossible to get any relia
ble detailed particulars for some
time as there is only one telegraph
working and that only to the su
burbs.
New York, Oct. 9—A report
just received says the tire in Chica
go is burning as far south as Harri
son street, and as far north as Chi
cago avenue, and badly on the west
side.
The Crosby Opera House is de
stroyed. The loss is now estimated
at §50,0G0. The Palmer House is
burned. The chief engineer of Cin
cinnati, with three engines and hose,
has started for Chicago.
Englewood, Ten Milks from
Cnicaao, ll o’clock, Oct. 9—Half
of the city is destroyed. The
fires cotinue almost unopposed.
The gas works and Court House
are destroyed, and all the heavy
business houses are burned. One
hundred and fifty thousand people
are left houseless. Fabulous prices
are being paid for vehicles to carry
valuables from danger. The bridg
es are destroyed. The loss of life
is unknown, but the streets are filled
with people looking for the lost.
Madison, Market, Clinton, Jeffer
son, Buffalo and Griswold streets
are ruined. Both sides of the Chi
cago River are a mass of ruins. All
efforts to save the Court House and
gas works proved futile. Thirty or
forty vessels are now burning, and
very many have been destroyed.
Every man in the city is called up
on to do duty. Nearly every bridge
over the Chicago river is burned—
alt is terror.
Later. —The fire is under con
trol Three-quarters of the city,
ying north of the river is in ruins
5 r. M. —The entire business part
of the city north of twelfth street,
on all sides of the river and branch
es, is destroyed. Every printing
office, hotel and railroad depot is
burned. The whole north side is
reported destroyed. A largo dis
trict is still burning on the west
side, north of twelfth street The
fire has been stayed at Harrison
street, and from thence to division
street. From the river to the lake,
an area of four miles long and one
wide, all is swept off. The wind is
blowing a gale from the southwest.
A change to the North would be al
most sure to sweep the entire resi
dence district south of twelfth street,
but it is asserted that the water
works are still all right, but the wa
ter has been shut off from the
south to supply the demand in the
north. Thousands are leaving the
city by every available means.—
Great hunger and suffering are in
evitable. Every city and town of
fers assistance.
Buffalo subscribes §IOO,OOO ;
Cincinnati, §200,000; St. Louis,
§75,000. In reply the Mayor asks
for cooked food for the suffering.
Firemen from other cities are en
route to Chicago. Great credit is
given to telegraph superintendents
for what they have done in getting
communication from the doomed
city.
It is impossible now to opproxi
niatc a correct statement of losses,
but a faint idea may be formed
when it is stated that every bank
in the city, except two savings in
stitutions on 22d street in the south
division, and one on Randolph
street, in tbe west division, are de
stroyed. All wholesale, all retail
establishments, post office, court
house, chamber of commerce, every
hotel in the south division except
Michigan Avenue Hotel, which is
standing on the extreme southern
limit, which escaped, though it is
badly seorched, and every newspa
per office is burned. The Tribune
building which was supposed to be
fire proof, finally succumbed. Six
of the largest elevators, the immense
depots of the Michigan Southern
and Illinois Central railroads, both
passenger and freight, are burned.
More than a score of churches and
much shipping on tke river are de
stroyed.
Men who were millionaires yes
terday morning are nearly penniless
to-day. But more terrible than all
is that certainly many have perish
ed in the flames —how many rio one
will ever be able to tell, but it is
known several persons have perish
ed, and there is ouly a heart-sicken
ing fear that the victims will be
counted by scores.
Hundreds of horses and cows
have been burned in stables, and on
the north side numbers of animals,
though released from confinement,
were so bewildered and confused by
the sea of fire which surrounded
them that they rushed wildly to
and fro, uttering cries of fright and
pain until scorched and killed.
Any attempt at a description of
the scenes of this appalling calami
ty would be idle. The simple facts
that the once great city of Chicago
is destroyed ; that hundreds of mil
lions of active capital herebave van
ished, and nearly one third of Chi
cago’s inhabitants are houseless and
dependent is sufficient. Any at
tempt to embellish would be mock
ery. As this awful day draws to a
close, thousands of anxious eyes
w r atch the clouds of smoke which
still roll over the burnt district,
with evident dread that a sudden
change of wind may turn the flames
into the portion of the city yet
spared. There seems, however, lit
tle cause of apprehension of it, and
firemen from other cities are con
stantly arriving.
Chicago, October 10, noon.—
The fire continued to burn all night
on the north side, but this morning
is under control. Nothing remain
ing on that side the river north to
Lincoln Park on the north, and
from the north branch of the river,
ou the west to the lake, on the east
to this portion of the city, except
along the main river, where there
were business blocks occupied as
dwellings. Two-thirds of the pop
ulation of this district were German
and Scandinavian. These people
are now houseless. At 3 o’clock
this morning a rain came. It did
not rain long, but the roof's and
ground are wet. Fifteen hundred
citizens were sworn in as special
police. A Federal force is employ
ed to guard property.. A hundred
thousand rations have been issued.
Two men caught in incendiarism
were hung to lamp posts. This
summary proceeding awed the
thieves into harmlessness. Every
traiu brings engines and firemen
who immediately go to work. They
arc playing on coal piles so save fu
el. A few business men of more
nerve than others are seeking busi
ness places in the west side. Rooms
which rented last week for §SO now
command §5,000. The newspapers
are already at work preparing for
resumption. Water for drinking
and cooking purposes is secured
from the lakes and parks. Thou
sands of people arc camped about
the artesian well. The people are
fed in the churches and school
houses. It was cold this morning,
causing great suffering,, but the
people are praying for more rain.
It is fearful to think of the loss of
life. It is conjectured that near
500 have been burned to death. We
saw four men enter a burning build
ing, and in a moment they were
overwhelmed by the ailing wall.—
There was a crowd of men around
a corner of buildings trying to save
their property, when the wall fell.
About twelve or fifteen women and
children rushed into the buildi ngof
the Historical Society, supposed to
be a fire proof building, for safety.
In a few minutes the fiames burst
through and they were all burned
to death. Among those who took
refuge in this building was the ven
erable Colonel Samuel Stone, eighty
years of age, and for a long time
connected with the Society, also
John T 5. Gerard and wife and Mme.
DePelgrove, a noted teacher of mu
sic. It is feared that Dr. Frear and
family were also burned, as they
were in the building and have not
been seen. Mrs. Eusoll, whose hus
band was murdered last week and
who was suffering from an illness,
was carried away for protection to
a building which was afterwards
consumed —it is feared that she also
perished. All books and papers of
the Historical Society, including
the original copy of the famous
emancipation proclamation of Pres
ident Lincoln, for which the Socie
ty paid 2,500 were destroyed. It is
feared that a large number of chil
dren, inmates of the Catholic Or
phan Society, on State street, are
also burned, as many of them are
missing. On Chicago avenue Fa
ttier Roshel went up stairs to carry
three children away, when he was
overtaken by the flames and perish
ed with them. The mother was
afterwards seen on the street a rav
ing maniac In the same neighbor
hood a family of.five persons perish
ed. The list of such fatalities is
very long, and can only be fully
verified after tbe smoke shall have
passed away. A careful survey of
insurances to day, shows that there
were written on property destroyed
over $200,000,000, and add SIOO,-
000,000 to the sum and a fair esti
mate can be reached of the loss.—
All leading merchants who have
been seen express a determination
to resume business at once.
The Evening Journal and Trib
une hope to publish small sheets to
morrow. A special session of the
Illinois Legislature is called to aid
the business men to provide employ
ment for the poor. Apprehending
that suffering may cause crime, ad
ditional Federal troops have been
called for.
Latest From Chicago.
A World special dated Chicago,
llth, 1:30 a. m., says the wind is
blowing a gale. The fire is appa
rently subdued, and has not spread
since noon yesterday. The bank
vaults all appear in good condition.
The number of dead found in the
ruins to date, is forty. The ruins
are not all accessible. The weather
is quite cool. There is intense suf.
sering among 5,000 families on the
prairies. One thousand tents were
given them yesterday. Relief is
coming from all quarters. The fu
ture is uncertain, and general gloom
prevails.
Cincinnati, Oct. 11.—Private ad
vices say Chicago is under martial
law. The soldiers are making no
arrests—they kill the turbulent on
the spot. Seven are reported shot
and hung who were attempting to
fire buildings. Sixty four bodies
have been recovered.
Rev. Dr. Eddy, who has just ar
rived from Chicago, reports the loss
both of life and property beyond
conception. People aie starving by
thousands, and no less than 80,000
are homeless. Prepared food and
clothing are urgently needed.—
Thus far supplies sent have not less
ened the peril of starvation. Gar
roting and thieving are frequent at
night.
Chicago, Oct 11, Noon. -Forty
one persons were shot in making
arrests last night. The station
house is filled. Ninety bodies have
been recovered from the ruins.
The Elections. —Pennsylvania
and Ohio have gone Radical by in
creased majorities. There is said
to be a chance of a Democratic ma
jority on joint ballot in Ohio.
