Ty The Death of ex.Mayor Lenox. Ex Mayor Waiter Lenox died this morning at the residence of his sister, Mrs. Angelica Simp- son,.No. 1005 E street northwest, inthe 57th year of hisage. Mr. Lenox was born August 15th, 1817, in this city, and was the youngest son of the late Peter Lenox, one of the pioneers of the city, who resided here for many years, on Mary- land avenue, sear 11th street, where he owned considerable property, mcluding valuable water rights, and also real estate &c., in other parts of the city. Mr. Lenox in early lite was a pupil of the late Chief Justice Chase, and many of our citizens will recollect the eloquent and felicitous eulogy Mr. Lenox paid tothe late Chis Justice at the meeeting of the bar on the occasion ot the death of Mr. C., as also his magnificent eulogy on the late Philip RK. Fendall, a firm and lite-long triend of deceased. Mr. Lenox, after Preparation at Mr. Chase's ademy,, entered Yale College, and graduated with high honors in the class of which ex-Attoruey General Evarts, Chief Justice Waite and Judge Pierre- pont were members, in 1837. Retarning to this city, he studied law with the late Richard 5. Goxe, @ prominent member of the bar in bis , and was adm.tted to the bar of this District on the 18th of March, 184. In early life be married Miss Kachel Ludiow, of New York, by whom he had one child, both long since deceased. He was elected and served for severs] terms asa member of the Boord of Aldermen previous to 1550, when he was elected Mayor of the city, and served one term of two ycars—succeeding the late W. W. Seaton, who had filled that ition for five i. aud preceding Hon. John W. Maury. Mir. Lenox took a great interest in the public school system, and was ever a staunch friend of the schools. Only a few momths ago, when quite unwell, at considerable inconve- yenience to himself, he visited the school of Mrs. Rodier, to whose pupils, over 20 — ago, he distributed the premiums. Onretiring from the mayoralty he resumed the practice of law. In early lite ke was in politics an old-Itme whiz, but on the rise of the know-nothing party be made common cause with the domocrats against it, and when the late war was inaugu- rated he, having strong sympathies with the south, went to Richmond and remained throughout the war, and we believe was for a time in active service. At the close of the war be returned to the city of his birth and resumed the practice of his profession. For some time he had been in bad health, and about ten days since he was taken suddeniy ill at the Hamlin house, from whence he was remo: few days since to his sister’s, Mrs. Simpson's, where he died this morning. His funeral will take place to-morrow afternoon, at 4 o'clock. ‘Mr. Lenox was not only sed of fine superior nataral scholarly attainments but hi abilities, and to these gifts and qualifications were added @ gentality of heart and nobility of mind that gave him in his day a following of devoted friends and admirers in his circie such as Henry Clay had nationally. ‘THE BOARD investigating the recent coilision between the U.

Among the resi- dences burned were those of Horace White, edi- tor of the Tribune; Hon. J. Y. Scammon, of the Inter-Ocean; J. K. Forest, city clerk; E. G. Hall, corner of Peck court and Wabash avenue. This last was very elegantly furnished. Mr. White saved his library. The Times makes the following estimate ot the losses, which are found to be very nearly ‘oor- rect: The area burned over covers fifteen squares, taking bits and half blocks bere and there and lumping the whole. The burned area ig about a balf a mile long and a little less in width, and embraces tumble-down shanties and palatial avenue residences. The losses are as Clark street, $30,000; 4th ; 3d avenue, $250,000: 300,000, Wabash avenue, $1,700,000; Micht- an avenue, $150. Taylor street, $50,000: ‘olk street, $40,000; Harrison street, $50,000, Congress street, $75,000; Van Buren street, $50 600; the conrt between Wabash avenue ant State street, $150,000. Total, $4,625,000. The loss to insurance companies will be from two to two and a balf millions of dollars. Numerous incidents are reported while the tire was in progress. The ‘limes chronicles the advent of the flames into a row of shanties, from which poured @ swarm of falien women laden with wardrobes and turniture. About 6 o'clock the fire began to feed upon the aristocracy. Thousanas of dollars-were consumed. Every minute the danger of utter destruction became more imminent. Every moment more help was wanted, and accordingly telegrams were sped out to Milwaukee, Racine, Joliet and other places. They read: ‘Send in your fire depart- ment.” In the course of the night came responses in the shape of stalwart men with apraratus. They did valiant service in tighting the flames to a sma! nd smal limit. Toe heat was so intense that the firemen could not stand within one hundred feet of the fire in the direction it was spreading; hence it had to be fought on the flank. STILL ANOTHER FIRE. Anothet fire broke out in Chicago about 4:3) yesterday afternoon, in the northwestern part of the city, im the vicinity of the junction of Milwaukee and Chicago avenues. “Fifteen or twenty buildings, comp-ising stores, saloons, planing and carpenter shops, were burned in a short time, the fames being fanned by a bri-k northwest breeze and fed by very inflammable material. The fire department was promptly on the ground, and by most vigorous efforis succeeded in cheeking the progress of the fire before it did fufther datage than already stated. Considerable excitement prevailed tor & time, a repetition of the scenes of Tuesday night being feared. The fire originated in Dugan’s smoke-house, in the rearof his packing establishment. Neatly an entire block was burned, but the buildings were mostly of an inferior sort. One planing mill was destroyed, with some valuable machinery and patterns. The lose is estimated at $40,000. Daring the progress of this fire two attempts at incendiarism in ‘the same neighborhood were discovered and frustrated. Another alarm was sounded from the corner of Wabash avenue and Madison street about 6 o'clock p. m., but the fire there was soon subdued. = Tue IntTRR-CoLtece Scenes at Saratoga.—The inter-college regattas took place at Saratoga yerterd: THE PRESHMEN CHAMPLONSH six-oared race, was first to take plac took the lead, Brown next and Princet rear.

The last of three ‘@iles was then resched, and Princeton, who was holding its position on ihe west side of the lake, a few lengths in the rear of Brown, weut into a gallop, and shot ahead with great speed. Te halt a dozen strokes Princeton overhauled Yale, and in @ few minutes lapped on her. Yale now having shaken otf Brown in apparent dis may, saw Princeton coming up the hoine-strete! like ‘a race horse, aud tried to equal the of the new contestants, but her strokes were nothing like so powerful as they were when challexged by Brown; besides, Yale was of o1: the eart side of the lake, where the ending of the line was of course further off th: it was ou the west side, of which Princetown was dash: onabee line.

Mr. Frank Moulton, a& well as some of the influential members of Plymouth Church at it Mr. Tilton should tell the whole story, as he now threatens to do, it will robably revive al! the scandals Gret set af y Mrs. Victoria Woodbuli, and involve @ ne ber of other persons in addition to Mrs. Tilton.

It is understood a erful efort will be made to close up the whole unfortunate afair if it Is found necessary to #1 tend the investigation beyoud the case of Mr. Tilton and his wito. A good deal of feeling has been manivested in regard to the publication of Mr. Tilton’s letter to the committee and Mr. Frank Moulton statement before the committee. Mr. Tilton friends, however, allege as an ase for tl publication of this last letter of hia, that mucl of the testimony adduced betore the committee with reference to Mr. Tilton had been allowed to transpire, to bis manifest injury andd tr ment, and he allowed the letter to be mad» public to set himsel! mght.

MES, TILTON BEFORE THE COMMITTER AXD LEAVING BER Hom The complications ot this are rapidly widening, and one of the latest de- velopments Ix a bt ip in Mr. ‘Tiiton's famity. It is now established, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that Mr. Tilton was not aware of the ex- istence of an investigating committee m Ply- mouth church until after Mrs. Tilton had ap- peared before the committee to give her testi- mony. Mr. Tilton writes, in the letter which was publisbed in the Argus yesterday, that his fret appearance before the committes was made on Friday, July 10—at which time the appoint- ment of such ® committee had not yet been made known tothe public. Ite members sat, as Mr. Tilton says, in vate capacity.” one of the earlicr ions of the com: therefore, Mrs. Tilton evidence, not only t fummoned, bat also prised of the appointment of Pact No. * that when Mre, Tilton appeared before the committee her testimony was taken in a manner unusual in procecdings of this character. She answered only leading questions. There is the highest authority for stating that all the questions which she did answer were put to ber in advance by Mr. Beecher’s counsel. Fact No. 1._—Still turther, it appears that after the publication of Mr. Tilton’s letter, addressed to Dr. Bacon, Mrs. Tilton lett her home, in Livingston street. Mr. Tilton and bis children continued to occupy the house, and be receives his friende there. Mrs. Tilton'is now sojourn- ing in a family of Mr. Beecher’s friends. It is bot understood that a formal separation has taken place between Mr. and Drs. Tiltou; but only one inference cau be drawn from the course the lady has seen fit to adopt, and that ia, that her lot is cast, for the present at least, wi thore who are wholly antagonistic to Mr. ton. Fact No. 3.—For ali the foregoing statements we have authority which cannot be gainsaid. Mre. Tilton’s appearance before the Piymouth Church committee is understood to b brough m this way intum, are well-known atte’ mouth Charch and ardent admirers of Mr. Beecher. Gocasion ally they took a carriage drive together in P: ect Perk, and it was on one of these ple tone of the O's is said to have he subject to Mrs. Tilton.
