At nine o'clock last night as Ojicer Brogan, of the Third precinct, was patroliing his post,he found four ‘women and a child standing on the corner of Cham- bers and West streets. In answer to bis inquiry they told him that they had just arrived from Chicago py the eight o’ciock train, and being enulrely destitute, they did not know what to do. The oiticer took them to the station house, and Sergeant John J. Fitzger- ald, who was in charge, examined the case, Find- ing the women were just what they had represented themselves to be.

Assistance soon came in the person of Mr. N, Huggins, proprietor of the Cosmopolitan Hotel, who desired the Sergeant to send the women over to his house and they should have everything they needed until the proper authorities came to look alter them, The women were then sent to tne Cos- mopolitan, and gave their names as Lina Mylo, Mianie Ditzler, Annie Fris and Bridget Mahon and a They were sent up stairs, were properly éared for, ahd, being tired from THE HARDSHIPS THEY BAD LATBLY UNDERGONE, they ail retired except Aunje Fris, whg made the folowing statement to a HERALD reporter of the scenes through which she had just passed:— My father was a silversmith on State street ana lived ia the house with my mother. 1 wanted to Jearn to cook, so 1 went out to the uouse of a young friend of mine to get taught, My father wanted to bring her into the house, but I did not want that, as I preferred to go to where she lived, He tried to me at home and it plano aud had only just taken two Tessous on mreed ALL WAS BURNED, Iam the only child my father and mother had in this country.

It became almost @ hurricane py midnight, but aub- sided before morning. It eaused much alarm to the citizens, especially to those restding in the icvinity of the late tire. Ftrebrands were blown I every direc- tion, skeleton walls were prostrated, shaking build- ings mm the vicinity from foundation to apex, The ex- citement and alarm were scarcely less than on the night of vhe great disaster.

TO THE SUNDAY SCHOOLS OF NEW YORK CITY AND LONG ISLAND, The writer of tms p= ge having been in Chicago during the terrible tire which has devastated tue beauty and grandeur of that great city and rendered one-third of its populauon houseless and homeless, witnessed during that fearful carnival of flame, scenes of suffering and distress which bafile all description, No word-painting can accurately describe these heartrending spectacles, nor can any flights of imagination, however wild, fully realize the awfulness of the scenes which during ‘Unat flery omleal abounded on every side. It is not my present purpose to attempt a recital of these Woes, but to cali the attention of tne children of our numerous Sunday schools to them and to suggest that they can do much towards relieving the thonsands of little sufferers now homeless and des- ttate in the devastated city. Hundreds of helpless little ones were to be seen suffering from terror, hunger and want 01 suiticient clotmmg, seeking shelter amid inhospitable ruins, where no shelter was to befound. My appeal is to cildren more favored of God to come to the help of their sorely aillicted itttle brothers and sisters by contributions of money and clothing. I know such an appeal will not be in vain. Let the response be generous, hearty and prompt, 1 Know the litile oves will act weil their part if their oilicers and teachers will lead them. No gift 1s tov small to be gratefully re- ceived. Representing in New York a Chicago firm, I shall be glad Lo receive and jorward through our Uhicago office all such contribunions as may be | entrusted tome for the suffering children of that stricken city.
