- and complete in 0 of a Survivor of v Lisasters His Statement of the Circum- stances of Her Loss. l!istoify of the Steamer--Once Before at the Bottom of the Lake. Mr. John Gee, of Whitehsall, Mich., one of the survivors of the Lacla Belle, which found- dered in Sunday night's gale near Racine, was in Tae TrBUNE office yesterday morning. He states that he wes in the yawl, the first boat to leave the sinking steamer, with eleven persons on board. Their names are as follows: John Ges, ‘Whitehall, Mich.; E. Rich, Pentwater, Mich.; Rose Rich, Pentwater, Mich.; Mrs, Smith, Watertown, Wis.; son of Mrs. Smith; Dennis Long, Racine, first parter; Dennis Regan, Milwankee, greaser Qeorge Jones, Milwaukes, cabin boy; Johni Duffy, Milwaukes, cabin boy; OLff Thompson Milwaukee, pantry boy: A. B, Starkweather, Madison, Wis., fireman; Henry Johnson, Chi- cago, second porter. There were . FIVE MEX IN THE WATER, clinging to life-preservers when the yawlleft the steamer. The sea was 60 high that they could not have been rescued. The yawl was pickedup on Mondsy afterncon st 4 o'clock by the schoonér Eate L. Brace, of Chicago, Captain D- W. Barnes, about 10 miles off Racine. The crew of theyawl were all saved. Mir. Gee pays the highest compliment to the courage and skill of Dennis Long, one of the cabin boys, who, with an oar’only, steered the boat with consummate skill, so that, notwithstanding the high sea run- ning, she did not ship & drop of water. e THE STEAMER was loaded with grain in bulk, aud was bound for Grand Haven. It appears from Mr. Gee's statement that, while in viow of the ironworks in Milwaukee, the stesmer stove in one of her dead-lights, and the water poured in in torvents. Alenk was aleo sprung forward, which no exer- tions on the part of the Captain or crew could stop. “Finding that the case \was becoming crit- ical, the Captain ordered the vessel putabout and the pumps rigged. These orders were promptly executed, and the steamer headed once 'more for Milwaukce. The pumps were rigged, and all hands that could be spared from working the ¢hip wore put to work on the hand pumpe. Their efforts in keeping down the water were slightly snccessful for & little while, but-the grain began to clog the pnmgs, and in a few moments they were useloss. Al agea of saving the vessel were further 24 ended THE WATER RISING TO THE PUBNACES, sand putting out the fires. The vessel’s forward ‘motion lost, ghe would not answer her helm, Lut rolled -and plunged in the trough, the water uring into herin a torrent. Her 7afe appeared Inevitable, and, slight as the chance Was of sur- viving the storm in an_open boat, there was no slternative but to launch the tiny craft. THE SHIP'S BOATS. There were two life-boats, two emaller boats, and the stesmer’s yawl, with a crew of thirty- two men, &nd twenty-one passengers, including several 1adies and two children. o first bost lowered was the yawl, which contained Mr. Gee and the names given above. The second boat contained five or six ladies and a good crew. One of the boats contained 1r. Sandersor, the clerk ; Peter Welter, M. Warner and wife, Rob- ert Fogg, Louis Oerhsten, and Rebecca Camp- bell. e Captain, Mr. Thompson, was the last iman o leaye the vessel, and saw four or five men abosrd who refuséd obstinately to leave, snd wrere undoubtedly drowned. . ACCOUNTED FOR. ‘The boats are all now accounted for. One 1anded- at Milwaukee, two at_Racine, one ab Kenosha, and the fifth was picked up by the echooner as related by Mr. Gee. THE LAC LA BELLE w28 9 yeara old, was 1,185 tons burden, built in Cleveland, and considered a valuable and sea- worthy craft. Shortly after her engagemont, in the carrying trade, ghe was sunk, in 1866, in the Bt. Clair River, by a collieion with the schooner Milwaukee, and 12y at the bottom of the river for three years. On being raised and ropaired, she was purchased by Mr, Englemsn, of Mil- waukee, the Goodrich of that town, end placed on the line between that port and Grand® Haven. Sbe was valmed at £65,000, and _ insared for _ £40,000. Her cargo consisted of 10,800 bu of barley in bulk 40tons of barley in bags, 1,200 brls of flour, 25 brls of whiskey, 20 tons of feed, and 50 brls of pork.. Whether the cargo was insured is not kmown. CAUSE OF THE DISASTER. Considerable uncertainty prevails about the csuse of the disaster. The vessel was duly in- spected before leaving, and found in” excellent condition. One theory of the leakage attrib- utes it‘to the shifting of the cargo, but the statement of the officers agrees with that of McGee; that a desd light stove in, and she lhippe& 'water from that source. 3 THE OFFICERS. The officers of the ill-fated steamer were as follows: § " Captatn—H. W. Thompson, Jrst Mate—Ed. Carney, Stewardess—ERebecca Oampbell. - ANOTHER STATEMENT. The Milwaukee News, of vesterdsy, contains the follo statement of William Monroe, the ook of the Lac Ia Belle: ‘Williat Monroe, the cook, was the most connected account of the matter. He aaid that the bost left on time, on Sunday evening, Be- tween 3 and 4 'clock he was sroused by the watchman and found that the boat was filling and th buslly engaged in throwing the freight overboard.

The masonry and carpenter work apon the cemaporary building for ihe Tres Library and Reading-room, are zow completed, and a very fair job hag been made of the converaion of the old 1 feet square on the third story of the cily building, heated with steam coils, It is not yet furnished, but propozals are mow being considered. It is well lighted, and, if conveniently furnished, will bo egreenble and suitable for its purpose. Adjoining it ave two rooms devoted to the Libra- rian and Directors, neither of which are fur- mished. - THE LIBRARY ROOM s approacked from the reading room by means of nSunhle fire-proof door and a dight of nar- row steps. Itis 58 feet in diameter, circular in “about 80 feet high, and lighted from ebove . with & ekylight, with arrangements for subduing too plentiful light when necessary. The roof was found tq be lealiy. The rain ponred down and deluged the room as it did the city ofiices, do- atroyed the plestering and, disclosed very poor ~orbmanship.

A general inclination to issus to the epplicant Lis letters of licentiate was manifested by the delegates, but an_article of the constitution seeming to conflict with the or- dination, the assembly, on motion of Dr. Ryder, remanded the matter to the Committes to which tho subject was originally referred, with in- structions to report their ullimatum in writing. The Convention “then. edjourned until 2 o'clock. . AFTERNOOYN SESSION. The Council convened at the epecified hour. In the absence of Rev. Mr. Wilcox, Rev. J. Davis presided.

The Police Commissioners were yesterday hon- ored by a visit from the Committee of clergymen and laymen appointed to lay resolutions befors the Mayor, and invited to talk on the Sunday liquor law question. Among those present were the Rev. Messrs. Fowler and Kittredge, and Mr. Kelly, Manager of the Temperance Bureau. These gentlemen took eeats, and inquired whether the Board would enforce the law. The Board, in the person of Ar. Talcott, said they certainly meant business. The Commitieo wanted to know if they would mnot srrest & number of saloon-keepers on Sundsy, throst them vehemently into_jail, keep them there until Mondaymorning, and then fine them heavily. Mr. Talcott said_he did not think the Board had any such intention ab pres- ent. He, for his part, was unwilling to show any vindictiveness. He did not want a repeti- tion of the lager beer riots, and proposed to go at the matter differently. Any way, the Board “were not going to plunge into it with their shirts off, but wre going to do things calmly, deliber- ately, systematically, and, 2s he hoped, wigely. As public officers they were willing to execute the lsws, even though they might not think them models of legislative wisdom. The Board were in favor of o regulative law that would re- gtrict and restrain saloon-keepers, not airay them and their patrons in bitter opposition to the suthorities. One of the Committee stated that, on Sunday, bohad absolutely violated Lis pledge not to go into a tippling-house, by looking into the North Side ealoons. . The Commiesioners thought thet his conduct was praiseworthy. After the Committee left, which they did after discussing_the matter at gome length, Mesars. Taleott and Klokke fell foul of one another on the subject, and debated it warmly, until an out- sider would have been puzzled to know what the Board did want. Commissioner Sheridan wanted 2 law similar to that in force in England and Germeny, requir- ing saloons to be closed, during the six summer months, at 11 o’clock at night, and in the winter at 10 o'clock, sllowing the pm{)riahol‘s to keep them open on Sundey from 2 o'clock in the after- noon until 9 o’clock at night. It is expected that the Superintendent of Po- lice will issue orders to close the ealoons next Sunday. The reasons given for bis not having done so are that nothing was ready ; no orders made out, and thet the whole movement was im- mature. These conditions no longer existing, it is believed by the Board that the order will be given. ANNOUNCEMENT. ) The adjourned meetiniz, of which notice was given in the churches on last Sunday, to be held in the Old Boexd or Trade roows, to further con- gider the causes of crime, will be_ held in Cen- tenary Church, on Monroe street, between Mor- gau and Aberdeen sirects, on Thuraday evening, at 73 o'clock. Let all lovers of law and order ba present, and teke such action as will secure the enforcement of the laws and prevent crime. e = THE DELINQUENT TAX-PAYERS. The {ax sales have begun, and every morning a 10 o'clocl, and until all are disposed of, lois on which taxes are due will be put up for Bale Dby the County Treasurer. 3Ir. William Beye, the cashier, conducts the sales. So far bub six lots on {he originnl {fown of South Chicago heve been sold, and persons desiring {0 seve trouble and expense should march up to tbe Captain's ofiice and pey. The consequence of neglecting to perform their duty as tax-payers is the gale of theirlots, or part thoreof, to any purchaser who pays the taxes. Once it passes into the hands of this buyer, 25 per cent is add- ed to the amount immediately, and 25 per cent cvery sis months during which the property re- mains unredeemed, making 100 per cent in two Years. This is more merciful than tho old lay, ‘rhich left delinquents to setile with dealers in {ax certificates on their own terms. There is now about £200,000 due the city. and, as the money is needed, tho sales will be pushed vigor- ouely until that amount is in the treasury.

The Fire Occasioned by the Explosion of a Kerosene Lamp---The Excitement in Chicago. Between 8and 4 o'clock yesterday morning Fire Marahal Williams was aroused from his slumbers by a series of violent raps on the front door of his residence, which, when opened, re- vealed the breathless form of a telegraph mes- Benger, bearing a despatch from the suburban town of Evanston. Hastily tearing open the yellow envelope, the Marshal read thas there wag ALARGE FIRE BAGING IN EVANSTON, and that his assistance, and that of one of his best engnes, were needed to check the flames. Mentally denouncing the folly of the authorities of a town of 5,000 inhabitants who would risk the lives and property of the people to save the cost of a steam fire engine, be it piston or rotary, Williams hwried to the house of the Liberty engine, and ordered the company out for immediate duty. The b%ys donned their working clothes with commendable alacrity, hitched upthe team, &nd rapiely disposed of the blocks lying betieen them and the Milwaukee depot. Upon arriving there, the Marshal was informed that another despatch had been received stating that his ser- vices were not needed, a8 all danger. of the total annibilation of Evanston had passed away. ORIGIN OF THE FIRBE. The fire, it sppenrs, broke out % & quarter be- fore 8 o'clock, and was the result of an explos- icn of a kerosene lamp which had beonleft burn- ing in the store_occupied by E.McEny, boot- malker. The building was ene of the frame row which stood on the north side of Davis street, west of Thomas avenue, an one block east of the depot. The buildings were very , and burned like tinder. Mr. Ruben was awakened by the burn- ing of his bed, and . BARELY ESCAPED FROM THE FLAMES. Mr. E. McKay and wife, who were sleeping over their store, were aroused by the flames bursting through their windows. The progress of the fire was #0 rapid that Mr. 3lcKay was una- ble to secure a pocketbook containing $500 ; in fact, he And his wife weredriven into the street en deshsbille, the former being badly. burned. The fire spread with smazing rapidity, compel- ling the uuculpnma of contiguous buildings to flee for their lives. The intensity of the fire, with the southwest wind, was 8o grest that only superhuman exertion_ on the part of some citizens saved the mew brick Kaufmann Block, Judson Block, and other buildings_on the oppo- site side of the street. Dr. O. H. Mann rep- dered signal service (as he always does) by his labors and directions. THE BUCKET EBIGADE. The only appliances that Evanston possesses for fighting fire are buckets and strest sprink- lcrs, and had the wind been stronger all the business portion and blocks adjoining on Devia street would now be in ashes. The fire -swept back into the block, burning uvelgthing that opposed ite progress until ib reached the store of J. T, Mason, whers it was arrested by the tearing dovwn of an adjacent building, owned by Jolm Barber. At 5 o'clock the firc was under control, heving consumed ten stores and property to the value of $50,000. 103 AND INSURANCE. ) The following is the list of losses and in- surance : Owener_and Oceupation.

Mr. Kaufmann had just returned from the East, where he had purchnsed a large stock of goods for bis new store, into which he was to'move Saturday, and lost very heavily. THE GREAT WONDER IS that the fire was checked where it was. Evans- ton may have relied on its pioty and morality to rotect it in times past, but her faith now Eold out? v A town of 5000 inhabitants and no fire engine, is hard to find anywhere; but who would look for it within eleven miles of Chi- cago? FIRE AT WILMETTE. A large bam owned by Mr." McDaniels, at Wilmette, four miles north of Evanston, was burned on Monday, and twenty-five tons of hay stacked near it. Spontaneous combustion ig supposed to have been the cause of the fire. It was fally ipsured. : ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. Special Despateh to The Chicago Tribune.

In the course of the evening, the owl made his astonished entres into all the at present occupied spartments of ed some time_2go, doubtless through an owlish Si. Louie or Cincinnati paper, that Chicago had been given over to the owls for a habitation, and he had been sent on a prospecting tour. = He badn’t- seen any ruin.
