That entiro neighborhood was muinly constructed of wood, and atno poiut, probably, were the flames so flercely hot and ut- torly ungovernable 08 here. ¥or noarly an hour they lind been mnking great inroads south of the court, botsyoon State streot and Wabash avenuo, and, when the fire-column on the formor thor- ouglifare had extonded 58 for as Pock court, de- atroying evorything in its patbway, and leaving an immense open space for the hursicane to swaop throngh, the firc a the rear burst into the lithle courp with tosriblo fary, driving firomen and otliers away a4 the top of thewr speed.

Thoro was but ono streim to Lo seon auywhore in the vicnity, and of course thiat was powerlass to mako tho slightest impres- eion on tho swiftly advancing foe. On the south sido of Peck court there were a half a dozen {framo dyellings, and on the southwost corner of the court and_Wabssh avenue stood a stroug brick block.

Ilad all tho. contiguous frgmo ‘buildings for half a block north been torn down or blown up jusf horo, it js almost cortaln that thocourge of the flames would be pormanently impaded on their Jake sido, but there was no one there to manago or suggost, and the deatruction went on unchecked. TUE DRICK CONNER DISAPEEARED in o fey minufes, aud then the fire Jumped across the gtreat,twhich wag built up of wood altogather, On the porthwest corner stood Pr. Nichol's Jew- ish framo chuyrch. This building actunlly disappenred from sigh} beforo the spectators were aware thay it bad caught fire at all. The wind now segmed to ke bjowing stropger from the northeast, and thie served to keep tho fire on the west gido of Wabneh avenne for o time. ‘Tho woodworls of goyeral housea on the ongt side of tho svenue took fire froquently, but these minor blazes wero taken care of by poicemen and civilians, The weat side of the stroet, s farna the First Baptist Ghureh, near tho cornor of Hub- bard gourt, wng oaten up i an incrodibly phort 8pace of time, thore being liftle or no opposing forge to fhe flamos.

But ot length the conviclion began to take posseseion of overyono that that portion of the avenue hetween Peck court and Oongrees straet Waa sure to burn, and then commenced a repati- tion, on o small scale, it is true, of the panic of tho great Aire. Masslve mirrors wera hustled out, and In tho hustling woro fraquontly broken ; wagnificent Turkiey oarpots waro torn up, gt~ 6dgod books of the most costly sort woro throsn from upper windows to be carried off, and appro- priated In many onncs, by the spoctators, The lake front was made the receptaclo for tho housobold goods, and fof two or threo blacks was Govored with tho most elogant articlos. It mado littlo difference’ to many of thé occupants whethuy th-¥honses ‘were consumed or wora saved, tasTitiun S ould novor be gob togotler again 08 it wos. Tho great mass of it was hopelessly ruinod or lost In the hasty removal, The buildiugs in tke track of the fire were No, 255, occupied by R. Webrli, o three-story and basoment stono front, on the mouthyest corner of Hubbard court. The next huilding, No. 256, was a vacant woodon building, two stories high, owned by Mr. Kimball, No. 258, owned and occupled by James Mokinloy, was o throc-atory and basomont building.

Tho Hon, Thomas Hoyne occupied and owned No. 267, a thrce-story and basement brick build- ing. It was iusured for $15,000, and was worth sbout £80,000. No. 270 wag gcoupied by J. Bauey. No. 274,a throe-sory and baeement brick building, was owned by Lyman Blalr, and occu~ plod by E. Crockett,’ Jr. North of Hubbard court, on Michigan avo- nue; was the elegant residence of T, B, Blncl- stone, Prosident of the Ohicago & Alton Raile road Company. The costly furniture waa un- coremoniously shoved out and piled away on the Iake shore, what was left of it. 5 The nest house north was owned and occa- plod by Judge Freer. It was a two-story and basement structure. To the north of the lattor, George W. Gags had his fine residonce, ALr. Gago was absent in New York, and his wifo wag sick ; but the hands of kind friends did their utmost to make the remaval ns tolorable aa poasible, House Na, 241, a two-story 'bullding, waa ac- cupled by J, Bocchor. DIRD'S-EYE VIEW. From the top of tha residence of Thomas TMoyue, No. 207 M ichigan avouuo, & sight was seon oyer tho flames which oxtonded from Polk streot fo tho Post-Office, which was graud and awful beyond description. 'Tho whole burnt’ area was still” alive with fire, whilo the main torrent was swoeping with terrific force northward, The volume of sparke ofroled and fell far out in the lako, and as far north as eye could reach through the dense smoke, Tho spira of tho Firss Dapiish Church atood high above the gonernl volume of fire, and from it " a thin' “strosm of flames like a flery bannor shot outward. Tho walls of Jawmos Morgan's building, formerly ocoupled by the Liohopstein Furniture Couipany on Wabash ayonus, fo}l in with a roar, pad for moment it woomed ag it Mr. Hall's fino Tesidouce opposite would go, Mr, Btorn'a residoyce slso” caught fira in the cupols at the same time, but both those buildings wero evontuslly saved, The Post-Uflide soomed fo prove hardly any Impedimont to the flamos. It burnt In an in- crpdiblo space of time, and gave forth a Loy thiat soop pof firp to butjdjugy fyrthor nocth, TUE BOENE ON MIOKIGAY AYENUE, The groat {hrong ‘of peopls who Lad been burned ont, ur wore in danger, wero crowding toward the lako shore, oarrying, pulling, push- ing, aud wheolivg 1n every conceivable mgnpoy thojr loady of hoysohold goads. Thg down-tawn vohioles wore pushing wotlward, aud st halt- paat 0 o'clook tho mtreet becamo sg blookaded that a panio provalled, and a acene of the wildest confusion ensned. The rod glare of tho rapidly- approaching flames seomed to out off rotreat to the aopthwerd, while in the mindy of the appre- honsiva the part norih of tho firoscomed doomed to Immodlato destriotion. ) 7O THR BOUTH, Tho flames at 0 o'clock Lad swept north of Tarmon court, aud tho dnuger seomod over to the sonth of tlus polut, No valuablo Luldings 1nd yot boon burnod, and great hopes woro on- tortnlued thint now tho main portion of tho low frames in this locality Lind*gono, tho fire conld bo stayoed. ‘s Liopo was doomadl to dispppointmont, for aminute lator the firo broke through Wabash avonue at No, 616, just bolow Eldridge Court, and vory soon both aldos of thio stroot woro liter- ally & sen of flame, “T'ho Graco Mothodist Church and tho Jewlsh Bynngogue, tho ‘Commerclal Hotol on Blate stroot, and Robort Laird Colllor's old ohurch, soomad o take firo at about tho same momont. Vory shortly afler tho roof of tho First Daptist Church caught aud was soon cousumed, TRE WIND, Tho wind came swaoping down toward the oir- clo of flsmos in such power as to almost carry pooplo off thoir foot, A blaoknoss gathered ovor the lake, and tho lurld torrents of flra streamod upward from tho burning bulldings in a mannor both majeetlo and terrifylng, Every ono aecmod to give up hopo, and conceded that, with such a volume of alr baclt of It, the flamen must be driven Into tho hoart of the oity, and thai tho scone of genoral dostruction would bo repaated, TIF BATTLE OF TNE ELEMENTS, ‘When tho firahiad reachod the cornor of Wabash avonue and Van Buren stroot, it scomed’ to bo under control to the westivard, and contorod all its forco upon thie ope polut. Two engines had looated hero, and, faclog the oncoming flames, mado & heroulean offors to stop it. The store on fire waa that occupied by Gilbert & Snmpson a8 a furnituro ostablishmont, and it burned with n terriblo fierconcss, Engines Nos, 14 and 12 alono facod i, To tho enst and horo tho dan- gerlay. If the fira” crossed the stroot theoro sooined no chanca of eaving the olty, for should this ocour it would bo lmpossible fo stand the heat, and the storos adjoining tho firo would surely go. With these great blocks in flames, who could tell whore it would end? Tho fire- men recognized TUIS TERDINLE EMERGENCY, and stood to thoir work unflinehingly. The two pipes from 14 and 12 wero “slamesod,” or put into one, and n heavy stroam of water roso to the top of tho fivo-slory bullding, Again and sgnin tho flames burat forth in torrents, and throatoued tho opposita buildings, Twice thoy wore on fire, but the strcam waa turned upon thom for a momont, and tho course of tho fire was stopped, and the ongines again returned to tho tagk of staying'the flames, Tho wind would overy mow and thon in a great gust blow the water nside, but I a mo- mont itho strenm would ouco moro be Gicon amid the smoke pouring its steady torrens of wator Into tho flory furnace beforo it. It socmed small and pitiful to fight such a battle, but liere, if ever, it must conquer. T'he crowds In the stroets WATCRED THIS CONTEST with batod breath, and, as tho finmas or wator soomed to gain' tho mastery, gave forth gronns or cheoss of sympathy, All hope coutered in this one chanco, and it was Indeed & desperato one. At one timo the flamon would shoot up bigh aboyo tho surrouud- ing bulldings as if deflautly, and thon again, s tho steady stream continued to pour in its volumes, it would sink to ared glare; and writhe and toss as though Io agony, For a full bnlf hour tho battlo continued, and nover once in that time djd tue heavy stroam cousa to pour in- to the brning warebouse, 5 Tho firomen woro buttresscd bohind heavy barricades to keop them from boing scorched or burned alive, snd they ST00D TO TUEIR POSTS in tho midst of & dangor fow would face, and the huge engines just jn their resy, almost ready to burst with the force thoy wore using, kept urg- ing on tho oply power that conld saccossfully comnbat tho flamos. At Just tho flery stroamers paled and sunk. Agnin they started ap Atfully, but i was plain that thoir power was gono, and thoy sgain sunk darker nod darkor. Tho smoke rollod forth In great yolimes, a hopotul sign, and then tho flames finally diod away. With's great slgh of roliof the people in tho Btreots turnod thoir stops homoward, thank- ing God thnt the city was saved, In all the mis- takea and Inofficiency of the Fird Department, tbis honor must be accorded to them, that here they mado & noble fight, aud earndd a great vie- tory. The culmination and end of the fro was in tho middio of the solid brick blook on tho west sido of Wabash avenuo, betiwweon Van Buren ond Adams strcets, Hore, on eachside of the brond avenue was & solid briok-front five- storics in height, If the fire should cross Wa- bash avoune it would inovitably dostroy at lonst amillion dollara worth of property, including tho Gardner Houso, the Matteson Hotel, tho Ex- position building, and a masgivo row of business frouts,” Tlhe Fire Dopartment evidontly saw that this was A VITAT, YOINT, and the crisis of the catastropho; and 1t was nothing else than grand to soo the concentrated power of forty enginea brought fo boar upon thia small epace. The flames would over and anon leap up and Epan the stroot aeif dotermnod todevour tho structures in tholr front. Tho next instant they would sink inamassof steam and smoke, to burat out agoin aftor & moment's reproyslon, with fully ronewod vigor. Tho broad avonuo was packed solid with people, all of whom fully grasped tho importanco of the erisie. Probably 100,000 peoplo witnessed the grand culmination sud cloge of this battle botweon fire and ‘wator.
