Estimated Loss to the Crops Throughout the State. St, Paut, Minn., July 14, 1874, Alluding to the impression which seems preva- lent at the East that neariy the entire State is overrun with grasshoppers and the crops utterly destroyed, the Press this morning publishes a statement showing that the total damage done by the grasshoppers’ raid is equivalent simply to a loss of avout ONE-TWELITH OF THE USUAL CROP, Or about the same as if the average yield through- ont were diminished from any source something over one anda half bushels per acre below the general average. It extends Over only about one- tenth of the area oi the State, and involves about one-thirteent of the popuiation, The crops out- side the devastated region promise a most abund- | ant yield.

A SECOND DIREFUL VISITATION. Magnificent Buildings Melted in the March of the Flames. The Fierce Element Triumphant Over Human Effort. Fruitless Efforts to Check Its Fiery Advance. THE POST OFFICE BURNED. Merciless Ruin Clutching Happy Households. FLIGHT OF AFFRIGHTED FAMILIES. Hasty Removal of Per- sonal Property. a SCENES OF HEARTRENDING SORROW. THH FIRE STILL BURNING. Cutcaao, July 14—7 P. M. Another conflagration is raging in the heart of the city. The fire started about half-past four P. M. in some small frame houses near Fourth ave- nue and Polk street. It was at first blown southward by a stiff breeze, but the wind soon shifted, and by sunset it blew A GALE FROM THE SOUTH, sending the fire towards the central part of the city. At half-past six o'clock the flames had made almost a clean sweep up to the corner of Third avenue and Polk street, burn- ing up the homes of thousands of people, At the above mentioned corner the Fire Depart- ment commenced the process of blowing up buildings with gunpowder, but the buildings experimented with were small wooden affairs, and would only have the effect of making a quicker blaze out of the fragments. The wind is blowing very fresh from about south-south- west. The fire is now on the verge of the fire line, of our big fire at Harrison street. The west side of Wabash avenue is now in fall blaze, the flames taking many a stately building in their course which offered a haven of refuge in the winter of 1871. The fire is immediately in the rear of the First Baptist church, and should that struc- ture go down it will havea clear sweep to the northward and eastward, and the Exposition building will in all likelihood be the final prey of the fire, and as that is immediately on the lake shore there will be nothing more for it then to feed upon, provided we have the good fortune not to have a change of the wind. A DENSE BLACK PALL of smoke is hanging over the expected course of the fire, dropping its advance messengers of cinders on ths roofs of the buildings. Although private citizens are doing their utmost to prevent the fire getting a hold upon their houses, yet the effort is as futile as for o child to make such an attempt. THE ROAR OF THE ADVANCING FLAMES has the sound of our old calamity, and nothing short of its final plunge into Lake Michigan will quench it. HOUSEHOLDS MOVING. Our streets within a mile of the conflagra- tion are crowded with teams of every descrip- tion loaded to their utmost capacity with household goods, and storekeepers who are so fortunate as to secure a team are endeavoring to save their most valuable stock. Wherever @ vacant space north of the fire can be found it is at once filled with goods ot all descrip- tions and varieties. Men, women and chil- dren are doing all they can to save their little all and bring it to some place of safety. INCREASED RAPIDITY OF DESTRUCTION. The fire from this moment forward will burn up as much in five minutes as it has previously done in fifteen, considering the value of dollars and cents. The heat is very great, and no doubt that, in addition to the pecuniary losses, we shall have to mourn the loss of lives, as it is next to impossible for a fire of this magnitude and fury burning through so closely a settled district as this without calling for many a human sacrifice. As the Post Office is directly in line with the fire its employés will have all they can do to save the mail matter in the building, and, consequently, there will be no mails from the city this evening, and there can by no possi- bility be one sent before to-morrow evening. TELEGRAPH LINES BURNED. NEW YORK HERALD, WEUNESDAY, JULY 15, 1874.-TRIPLE SHEET, be no interruption of telegraphic communi- cation. EXTENT OF THE FIRE. The fire has burned over so far about half a mile in length and some four blocks in width, and although the explosion of gun- powder is still heard every little while, there is but little hope of staying its progress short of the limits given above. The Path of Ruin Widening—The Post Office Destroyed. Curcaco, July 14—9 P. M. The Post Office has been destroyed. The Gardiner and Matteson Houses are in danger. THE FLAMES UNCONTROLLED. The firemen have no control over the er” a The excitement is intense. The Destruction of the Post OMce=The |~ First Baptist Church in Ashes—super- human Efforts of the Firemen—The Saving of Goods and Chattels. Onrcaco, July 14—10 P. M. As expected in a previous despatch, the fire swept into and over the elegant First Baptist church, on Wabash avenue, and what was this evening before sundown one of the most elegant and costly church edifices of our city is now but a smoulder- ing heap of rnins. DESTRUCTION OF THE POST OFFICE. As it was very evident, from the course of the fire and strength of the wind about half- past six P. M., that our Post Office building was in all probability doomed, General McAr- thur, our Postmaster, made arrangement at once to remove the mails to a place of safety, and all the needed teams were at once pressed into the service by him, and by eight o'clock the last loaded wagon left the building, and the place that had been the depository of the United States mails centring here was destroyed forever, for at ten minutes past eight o’clock the building caught fire and by half-past eight it was a mass of flames. GALLANTRY OF THE FIREMEN. The wind by eight o'clock had almost died away, which assisted our Fire Department greatly in becoming masters of the situation, At the corner where the Post Office was situ- ated, at Wabash avenue and Harrison street, the very point where our previous great fire was stopped, our firemen seemed to be inspired with superhuman efforts to prevent the fire spreading into the rebuilt district, and here it was that all their energies were concentrated to bar its further progress. The building on the southeast corner was a large brick dwell- ing house, and by making a bulwark of this against the EVER ON-COMING SHEETS OF FLAMES the prospect of saving it, and thereby pre- venting the progress of the fire through to Michigan avenue, was quite promising at half-past eight o'clock; whereas the the northeast corner of these stre¢ts, occupied by the Post Office, was then a mass of flames. As a very heavy and high brick building ad- joined the Post Office on the north there is no doubt that the spread of the fire north of Wabash avenue from this point has been checked. Among THE BUILDINGS DESTROYED. On the east side of Wabash avenue was the church formerly occupied by the congroga- tion of Robert Laird Collyer. It seems some- what singular that the conflagration should be checked and the very building spared by the previous fire should be one of the last to succumb this time. THE MAILS WERE ALL REMOVED to the sub-station on the corner of West Washington and Halstead streets. Between Eldridge court and Harrison street, on the east side of Wabash avenue, some dozen hand- some buildings were destroyed. The whole | of the west side of the avenue between these limits—every building—was levelled with the ground, and looking west the same dead level of ruins is presented as was so vividly en- graved on the memories of our inhabitants in 1871. THE LOSSES ENTAILED by this fire in the destruction and removal of goods and furniture is, in all probability, as great as the actual loss on the buildings de- stroyed up to half-past eight P. M., for it takes but a moderate sized fire to induce Chicago people to clear out their goods and chattels. The owners of nearly every store along Wabash avenue and State street as far north as Monroe street were moving their goods, or the most valuable part thereof, to places of safety, and dwellers in houses in | this apparent line of the fire were not slow in following the same instinct of self-preserva- | tion by the removal of everything portable from cellar to garret. tailed by this SPEEDY AND HURRIED EXODUS will figure among the sustained by the insurance companies. It is very probable, should the fire be stayed where it now is, and considering the area burned The destruction en- never losses over, the losses to insurance companies will | be very light, although hundreds and | hundreds of families have lost their all and | have become rendered houseless and homeless. A GREAT PURIFICATION. As the good suffer with the bad on many | occasions, 80, in this instance, the bad have | evening in the space of three hours. Chicago has not only had another big conflagration, but @ great purification as well, and will in the end be the better for it. THE FLAMES YIELDING. 10:30 P. M.—The fight with the fire is now on State street and Wabash avenue, between Van Buren and Harrison strects. The flames seem to be slowly giving way to the persistent efforts of the firemen, and, it is hoped, will be stayed before long. The St. James Hotel is the last building that has commenced to burn, but as the Fire Department can concentrate their efforts on that particular locality, indicated above, the spread of the fire will be more f6adily checked. ce Sa The Flames Overleaping Opposition Gathering Fury, They Sweep Onward— Aid Hastening from Other Cities— Noble Buildings Destroyed. Cutcago, July 14-11 P. Mf. Contrary to the hopeful expectations ex- pressed at half-past eight o'clock the fire from that time has gained upon the Fire Depart- ment, and in spite of all efforts by our whole Fire Department the fire at half-past ten o'clock had progressed northward and taken in the block on the east side of State street, which consisted of low wooden buildings, and on Wabash avenue, north from Harrison street, one block and a half, taking in both sides of the street and working over to and along Michigan avenue towards the Exposition building. The fire is at present between Van Buren and Jackson streets, in its northern limit, and BURNING WITH GREAT FIERCENESS, At present the fire is apparently beyond the control of our Fire Department, and engines are on the way from Bloomington, Milwaukee, Aurora, Joliet, Elgin, Racine, Dixon and Amboy to assist, and if the wind does not in- crease or chang there is great hope that the fire may be crowded into the lake, as inti- mated in the despatches sent at six o'clock. Among THE NOTABLE BUILDINGS which have been destroyed is the Michigan Avenue House, St. James Hotel, the Conti- nental Hotel and the Adelphia Theatre. The fire is within two blocks of the Palmer House, and the consternation is very great among the guests. The roof of that hotel is being pro- tected by men with water appliances of their own, and every effort will be made by the pro- prietors to save the building. Origin of the Fire—Its Further Prog- ‘gres—A Fireman Killed. Curcaco, July 14—11:30 P. M. The southern bounds of the fire are now No. 475 Wabash avenue, just south of El- dridge court ; No. 518 State street, near Har- mon court, and No. 253 Third avenue, be- tween Peck court and Twelfth street. On the corner of Peck court and Wabash avenue is the only point where the flames have any hold. ORIGIN OF THE FIRE. The fire originated ina paint manufacturing shop at the corner of Twelfth and Clark streets. Some workmen were mixing paint, and an explosion occurred which ignited the building. A NEW OUTBREAK. On the north the fire has broken out at the corner of Michigan avenue and Congress street, Michigan Avenue Hotel is on fire. It is probable the Exposition Building and Art Gallery can be saved. HOTELS IN DANGER. On State strect the fire has passed Jackson | street, and is within one block of the Palmer House. On Wabash avenue the Mattison House.is in imminent danger. A FIREMAN 18 KILLED. One of the firemen has fallen through a roof and been killed by the fall. A POLICEMAN INJURED. A policeman had a leg broken while attempt- ing to rescue a ‘boy. AN ENGINE BURNED, One engine, belonging to the colored men, has been burned. The Indianapolis Fire Department on the Way to Render Aid. Inpranapouis, July 14, 1874. A train with two engines and the Fire De- partment left for Chicago at eleven o'clock this evening. THE SAD NEWS IN WASHINGTON. Wasurnaton, July 14, 1874. Great excitement prevails here to-night on account of the reports from the Chicago fire. Bulletins are put out at the telegraph office on | the receipt of any information, and the office is thronged with anxious inquirers after news. Every despatch is eagerly scanned, especially | by those having business in the fated city. The sad intelligence is the cause of pro- foundest sympathy among the citizens of Washington. As the crowds surge before the bulletin board the lightest speculations as to the final results of the calamity are listened to with avidity. AMONG THE UNDERWRITERS: After the receipt of the astounding news HERALD reporters were despatched to make’ a tour of our many insurance ofMces and ascer- | tain if any of them had direct inteili- gence of the disaster, or particulars of loases and insurance. Carefully the ofices of the several companies were scanned in turn in the search for news. In nearly all lights were seen, but they were from high gas fixtures, and beneath them were to be seen no busy clerks or anxious oficials searching their books Jor lists of risks, ex. amining maps of the doubly doomed city, or read. Sy 7 were dleoping soundty, undisturbed by dreams og sweeping waves of fire in the Garden City and of crippling losses to their respective institutions, THE GREAT FIRE OF 1871, ———e- On the seventh of October, 1871, there came the following startling despatch to the HERaLD:— “To-night ig the most horrible night in the an- nals of Chicago. A raging, roaring hell of fire en- velops twenty blocks of the city, Panic prevails, and men, women and children are in the streets, and weeping and wailing are heard in every dirco- uon.”? Millions upon miliions of property were de- atroyed. Commencing at sbout a quarter to tem o'clock P. M., the conflagration swept with a ve- locity and destructiveness that forbid all calculadom as to the point at which 1s could be stopped. ‘The discovery of the ames was made on Casal street, near Van Buren, where they leaped to the corner of Jefferson and De Koven streets, where amid @ vast mass of infammable material they rolled and revelied in their march of destruction. The combustible manusactories of the city quickly” disipogErSa. Tpe are “reached Yo thé Walecs edge, running along the game as it to spite ite only enemy, and triamphing here tung ita brands farther and further into the heart of the city, amtif iy seemed as if there were no foothold whereon the feet of af agonized multitude could find reat. ‘The bridges yielded, scores of lives were sacri- ficed; then, journeying with feverish stride, the hungry fau:es began to reach into the fat, rio& heart of the gisat Western city. Now the danger seemed everywhere. Men, women and children, frantic with fear, darted hither and thither, hopetussly seeking places of safety. But it seemed as if there was no where to go. One by one disappeared the great baildings— the Court House, the sherman Hotel, tre Westerm Unton Telegraph Company's office, the ‘fremomé House, the Chamber of Commerce, the great Unio Depot, the superb grain clevators—pride of the city; then, in turn, elegant manstons lining nobie avenues, antil at last, exhausting itself with tw own fury, victorious ever all the efforts of mam and machinery, the fre expended itself tm rutw and ashes. Not @ theatre, hotel, newspaper office or any building, pretentious or unpretentious, was spared. The path of the fire was in a northeast- erly direction, but soon after its inception the burning brands scattered on all sides, giving rise, as it were, to numerous supplemental conflagra~ tions, tf they may be so called, which, sweeping om before a southwest gale, absorbed the best busi- ness portion of Chicago and left tor hundreds of blocks only blackened chimineys to mark the spot where but a little while beiore wealth and plenty reveiled. The direct loss was not far from $100,000, 000, for ftembraced the best portions of tue city. The river divided the city into four parts. South were La Salle, Clarke, Dearborn and State streets aad Wabash and Michigan avenues. These streets ram north and south, and were intersected by Lake, Madison, Randoiph, Washington and otner im- portant thoroughfares. The west side was com- paratively uninjured. The north side was de: stroyed as Jar as Lincoln Park, and embraced many valuabie buildings, churches and colleges within its limits. This portion was completely guttgd from the river to the Park, a distance of three miles. From 70,000 to 100,000 persons were suddenly thrown out of employment. The poor suffered intensely. Finally, how relie! was gener- ously bestowed by the great public of the wond is a story tuo recently recited to require recapitala- tion. i Terribie as is the portent of the despatches which give occasion to these lines let us hope that we shall not again be culled upon to record the fearful scenes that bave made the name of Chicago synonymous with the most terrible suffer= ings that have ever visited an American city, THE NEW ATLANTIO CABLE. Arrangements for L Complete—Guns nounce the Connection—A Col at Portsmouth. Portsmouts, N. ., July 14, 1874. The steamer Ambassador having arrived, the arrangements are complete for laying the shore endofthe cable. The Faraday 1s moored tn the Lower Harbor, while the Ambassador is lying tn- shore off Rye Beach. It is hoped that all willbe finished so that both vessels can sail for Torbay on Wednesday evening.
