Another Threatening Fire Breaks Out on the West Side. It Destroys a Block Chiefly Cove ered with Frame Shanties, Other Fires Unattended with Serious Loss. érlmes and Casualties, THE SOUTH SIDE FIRE, A SUGOINCT HISTORY. Tho second of our great fircs is over,—thers Is, at. lonst, n breathing spoll, ond the calamity ' can now bo looked at in gonoral sonmo. Like all groat conflagrations, that of July 14 bad an Insignificant starting-polnt. Tho proponderanco of evidonco goss to show that tho Israclite rag- shop, In tho alloy-way between Fourth avenua and Clark street, just south of Taylor strost, was tho placo whero the firo orginated. This shop was a littlo frame shod in roar of Isano Snwm's grocery storo, which was almost in rear of Fronoh's ofl refinery, the inflammable stock of which was TIE FINST GREAT OAUSE of the sproad of destruction. Aftor the rofinory caught, which it did within & verybriof space aftor the first alarm, there was barely a pos« aibility, considoring the dryness of the frama buildings, snd the strong prairie wind, of Baving that miserablo section of the city, known in elung-plrage ag THE CHEYENNE DISTRIOT. The ultimato fate of every wooden atruoture 18 ignltion and destruction, but when theso fooa~ ors of the destructive eclomont are multiplied by .the hundred, the combined and concontrated hoat of their burning endangors the most solid stone or brick atructures m their nelghborkood, Complaiat is vary generally made that the Fire Dopartment did not ~ rospond to the sigual with promptitudo, and_that, had it dono 80, the calamity might have boen avortod ; bug sy ono who lina looked over tho ground will bo COMPELLED TO AOKNOWLEDGE that, although the catastropho might have boen delaved, it was bound to como ot some time in the near future. Any city that can deliborately allow an oil refinery, uioro destructive in its componcnt parts, so far se fire {8 concorned, than evon a powder magazine, must bo proparad to abido by tho consequences of 1ts own rashe noss. Relative to THE TARDINRSS OF THE FINE DEPARTALENT, it is but just to say that tho eugine worked bz tho colored company, No. 21, got around Wit all poseiblo spoed, and that it was supplauted by othor engiues, but, #o_rapidly did the famos extend, that tho vory origin of the fire was obe scured whon the firomen reached the ground, and lence the mistnke was made of nttr] buting tho origin of the conflagration to the oil establishe mont. Asaproof of thoraplidity with whioh the fira atarted, tho caroases of s couple of horsos, burned up in & barn near the Jew shanty, may bo instanced. Had the owners of the Logsts, who wero around at tho time, a momont in which to got thom out, they would undoubte edly lave been romoved. Therefare tho blama can h“‘“z{ Lo thrown on tardiness, but thore ig uvory wido-sproad boliof that 1t ‘oan bo partly attributed to tho ineflicionoy and wealnoss of tlu'ourt‘lil'u Depurtment. Marshal Benner com- milte TIE GRAVR FAULT, in the first instanco, of throwlog the wolght of his force behind, inatead of bofore, the track of the fira, When tho wooden rows on Clark strect, Tourth aud Third avonues, and Stato atroot became ignited, thoy burned up with morvelous {rapl nt{, and all tho water poured ~upon ihem from the south side was simply wasted. Another thing, the narrownoss of the streots and the sparsoncss of hydrants precluded the possibility of active movement, or of thro\vlu;(n sufliciont stream of waler on any ono point, \Vhen the fire had been raging formore than an hour; THE MARSIIAL BAW JI8 ERROR, and, havivg cullod UL 1N IosCIvo Gliginos 7 tho goueral alarm, proceeded to rectify it. new lino wau formed on Polk stroct, “but this was vory apeodily broken through by the flames, and most of the en- giucs, espocially on Third avenue and gmu Btrect, wore compelled to fall back on the line of Marrison stroet, whore, by the way, the first bulf-concontrated effort to atay the furthor progress of the disaster was made,” But THE VOLUME OF FLAME had becomo too fierco to be bridled thon, Urged by the strong wind, the enomy shot dlagouully down on WADASI AVENUZ, and lald hold of somo of the finest of the private rosidences, Then, when the sun nd sank, and the glare of the conilne gration could be seon in _all its tormbla graudour, the stoutost-hosrted of our oltizeus ogau to feel that BOMETHING MORE THAN WATER would be necossary to suve tho busincss seotion ot Chieago, 1t oceurred to overy man of prace tieal mind that tho Iiré Deparimont neode auxiliary, What wos that suxiliary?

"Thio teariug down, with proper applisucos, of & couple of hundred framo bulldings, and the blowing up of brick and stone ouoes, by trainod hands, would specdily reduce tho daugor, and onable tho Loss to oifoct & conquest over the lnlf-smotherod five that it would be impossiblo to achiove ovor the saue olemont undor fair hoadway, But Chicago did not have any on- gincors, unless thoso of tho regular army of tho Uunited Htntes, who had no authority to act, and who, evon bad thoy such authority, did not huve the proper menns to levol such buildings as it might be considered safo to teur down, T, tho clty was loft TO Til MERCY OF CHANOE— to the judgment of s Fira Marshal who, al- thouglh he hus froquently proved himself n wood subordinate, has a8 frequently shown his b;cu. pacity a8 a chiof ; to the firnmness of a Mayor who dood not possess one singio partlolo of that virtue ; and to the untriod valor of the rank and flla of the Dopartment, who, with plenty of pluck aud epirit, were virtuaily without & hoad, and worked us it by juatinet, “Ihio fact is that the Mavahal connot get over being & pipoman, o was observod during the (Boe Fifth Iuxo,)
