The crowd instantly scattered, but both whites and negroes re- turned in a few minutes well armed. Mayor B. F. Pullen earnestly exerted himself to calm the excited crowd; and the Lexing-

ton train, two hours later, brought a squad of U. S. soldiers, who promptly offered to assist the civil authorities.

Aug. 7-Riot at Lexington, just after the close of the polls : firing begun by a negro, it is supposed accidentally, when shooting became general and indiserimi- nate; several persons wounded ; two ne- groes, at a distance from the scene, mor- tally wounded ; a company of State Guards and another of U.

Sept. 5- Preston H. Leslie, who, by reason of his office as speaker of the sen- ate, has been governor of Ky. since the resignation of Gov. Stevenson, on Feb. 13, 1871, was to-day inaugurated governor for four years, under his recent election by the people. The oath of office was adminis- tered by the venerabie chief justice Geo. Robertson, who has been disabled from duty for six months past by partial paral- ysis, and was unable to stand; he then resigned into the hands of the governor his office of chief justice of the court of ap- pcals. The announcement was unex- pected ; and as the fceble old man sunk back exhausted in his chair, many thought that with the functions of his high office he had surrendered up his life also. The crowd was awe-struck. The stillness was solemn, the suspense painful. The gov- ernor and the associate judges came for- ward, afraid to touch him lest he be dead. But he soon revived, raised his head and smiled ; and then reciprocated the con- gratulations of his friends-saying he "cx- I pected to live a good while yet." He is

He was a soldier in the war of 1812, and had repeatedly repre- sented his county in the legislature. He and his father emigrated from western Pennsylvania during the Whisky rebellion, 1791-94, and were among the first makers of the whisky that assumed the name of " Bourbon county."

An area of 2, 124 acres ( 194 in the West division, 460 in the South divis- ion, and 1,470 acres in the North division) devastated by the fire, which @began on Sunday night, and lasted until nearly dark on Tuesday-when the flames died away from absolute want of material to feed upon.

in the morgue, only 2 of which were recog- ! nized ; 16 others lying there, and more coming in ; 20 bodies were taken from the basements of two buildings on the North side, near the Chicago avenue bridge; to save themselves from burning, some jumped into the river and were drowned. Oct. 12, over 40,000 people fed by the charity of the country ; about $3,500,000 in money, pro- visions, and clothing poured in from every quarter ; of this, $1,200,000 was paid for 4,700 cheap temporary houses for 23,500 people ; and 50,000 people left the city. Oct. 14, the vault of the custom-house was opened ; $1,000,000 in gold were melted to a solid mass, and $2,000,000 in greenbacks burned to a crisp. 65,000,000 feet of lum- ber were destroyed, and 225,000,000 still on hand. Total actual loss about $196,000,- 000; besides $100,000,000 estimated loss to business and depreciation on real estate ; $100,000,000 were insured; 56 insurance companies in the U. S. broken up, a few pay their entire losses ; about $40,000,000 real- ized from insurance. [A number of Ken- tuckians were large property holders in Chi- cago, and lost heavily ; and many of the leading families, and professional and bu- siness men, are Kentuckians.]

Among the Kentuckians living there, several thousand in number, was Dr. J. Ed. Ray, formerly of Paris, who wrote thus to his brother : " From Dr. Hawes [another Kentuckian] and the newspapers I suppose you have heard of the horrors of Sunday night and Monday. Neither could tell you one-half. To realize its horrors you must have been present and a looker-on. The history and incidents of that fire will and can no more be written than those of the Great Rebellion. Property by millions, relics that money could not purchase at any price, and lives unnumbered, were swept away in the twinkling of an eye by the relentless fire fiend. Hundreds of peo- ple were lost of whom no trace will ever be found. Their last voices sounded amid smoke and scorching flame, surrounded by fire on all sides ; for with the velocity of a mighty hurricane it swept over the doomed eity ; one yell, one short prayer, and all was over. Even now there rings in my ear the shrieks of three men who went through the floor of the State street bridge viaduct amid a lot of burning freight cars. They just a few feet ahead of me dashed into the bridge, midst blinding smoke and flying embers ; and on reaching the farther end I felt the swaying of the timbers-a crash, a shriek, and I stood upon the very brink of the seething cauldron below. Quick as thought I whirled round and ran back. AD each step of my retreat I felt the giving of the planks beneath my feet, and as I placed my feet upon terra firma the whole structure fell with a mighty crash. It was a fearful race for life, but I gained it; and, to add to the horror of my situation, when on solid ground I found myself entirely surrounded by fire. As it was "no time for swapping knives," I started and ran from South Water to Lake

street, through a perfect hailstorm of fire. Upon the corner of Lake and State streets, I found a man standing perfectly bewil- dered, who I have no doubt would have perished in his tracks. I seized him by the arm, and again started on the fearful race for two lives. East on Lake street to Michigan avenue we ran, through fire two or three inches deep and with both sides of the street on fire. Hot was no name for it. The first unburned bridge was that at 12th street, which we reached in safety. . We stopped to take breath, and look back. The sight down the river, east and north of us, was grand and terrific. No pen can picture, no words express, the sublimity, the apalling grandeur of that scene ........ My office, furniture, books, papers, and in- struments were all lost. After getting them out of my office, upon the pavement, the fire was so hot as to drive me from them. Some were burned after getting them on a wagon. Every patron I had. was burned out ; and to-day I find myself the possessor of $2.10 all told, and have to begin, as I began five years ago, with- out capital, to make a living."

The great fire of London, England, in 1666, (population 300,000) lasted 4 days, and spread over 336 acres, destroying 13,- 200 houses, 87 churches, many public buildings, and $60,000,000 in property ; as in Chicago, bells and iron wares, glass and earthenwares, the most solid iron works, all melted and fused. In Oet. 1812, Mos- cow, the capital of Russia, then a city of 000,000 inhabitants, was devoted to the flames by its own citizens, to drive out the great Napoleon, the French conqueror ; it had been almost entirely destroyed by fire in 1536, in 1547, and in 1571. In 1835, the great fire in New York city destroyed 648 houses, and $20,000,000 in property ; and in 1845, another fire destroyed $7,- 000,000 of property. In 1845, the entire business part of Pittsburgh, Pa., was burnt, with over $9,000,000 of property. San Francisco was six times almost totally de- stroyed by fire. St. Louis, Mo .: Portland, Maine; Charleston, S.C .; Galveston, Texas; have each had very great fires, with prop- erty destruction of from $2,500,000 to $5,- 000,000. In 1852, during one night, 7 fires destroyed 3,500 houses in Constantinople, in Turkey ; and about 1870 another great fire occurred there ; but those houses were quite ordinary and the city poorly built.

Oct. 17-Boyd co., by 67 majority, refuses to subscribe $100,000 to the Lexington and Big Sandy railroad.

Vet. 26- Death, at Nice, France, of Robert Anderson, a brigadier and brevet major general U. S. army ; born, near Lou- isville, June 14, 1805 ; graduated at West Point, as brevet 2d lieutenant of Ist artil- lery ; same year, was appointed full 2d lieutenant ; spent a few months at Santa Fe de Bogota as private secretary of the U. S. minister there; May 9, 1832, ap- pointed assistant inspector-general of Illi- nois volunteers, with rank of colonel, in the Black Hawk war, and was conspicuous

Sunday afternoon, April 14th, he accepted the honorable terms of evacuation offered by Gen. Beauregard, and " marched out with colors flying and drums beating, bringing away company and private property, and saluting his flag with 50 guns." In 1865, he was selected to hoist the Union flag again, over the ruins of Fort Sumter. May 15, 1861, Pres- ident Lincoln appointed him brigadier gen- eral in the regular army, and in command of the department of Ky., and afterwards of that of the Cumberland, which shat- tered health compelled him to relinquish, Oct. 1861; and on Oct. 27, 1863, to retire from active service. Feb. 3, 1865, he was brevetted major general, " for gallant and meritorious service in the defence of Fort Sumter."

S., and buried at West Point, New York.
