Chicago, Oct. -14. It commenced raining here about six o'clock this morning, falling quite heavily for two hours, and since then drizzling showers have prevailed.

Never was rain from heaven more grateful. The apprehensions felt by the waterless inhabitants of the burned iortion of the city in regard to urther conflagration have been greatly allayed by these timely "showers. There is still considerable excitement over the reason of attempted incendiarism, particularly in the west division, arid arrests continue to made of persous charged with this devilish work. The work of opening vaults and safes continues to be prosecuted as rapidly as possible. In most instances so far.

THE WISCONSIN HORRORS. Eight Hundred Lives Lost Horrors accumulate upon horrors.

The hunger of the fire demon seems to he insatiable this year. Everybody is inquiring "What are we coming to?" It seems as it the destruction of the world was near at hand. The year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and seventy-one wid be noted in history as the year of horrors. The destruction of the richest portion of Paris by the Communists the terrible famine in Persia the blood July riots in New York, the innumerable disasters from fire, rail and water the many shocking murders and suicides the immense destruction of life and property in Chicago, and lastly the ravages of the fire liend in Michigan and Wisconsin, destroying lives by the hundreds and property b3r the millions all combined make a list of horrors unparalled in magnitude in any one year of the world's history.

P. SCHRECK. The Lyndon Convention. The Democracy of Osage county will- meet in mass convention, next Saturday, at Lyndon, for the purpose of putting in nomination a ticket worth the support and suffrage Of fhe members of that party. That tlit; party seriously expect, as a party, elect anybody, we do not for a moment believe.

The convention was called, no doubt, ia the hope that the Republican party in convention would fail to do justice to all sections and factions of the county. In that event a fusion ticket might have stood a good show to have been triumphant. But all such calculations were laid out cold enough lastTues-a WrrW The four hundred democratic voters of tbe county can now only hope to have a say in the district contests. The great mass convention will be a sparse gathering and a bopless'work. But we hope the democratic organization may be kept alive.

In its activity we see the trtily hope for the Republican party of the county in the future. But for the fear of its I6ur hundred votes we would witness the une distentions in our party in the future that we have in the past. For the sake or its toning powers upon the ascendant party we can well afford to give it an encouraging ord and publish its ticket annually. And now comes the latest despatches from New York trembling -with tlie alarming news that the laboring classes, dead and attaches of the Tammany Ring, funning short of bread, are openly threatening to blow up the -houses ami homes of the Tammany leaders.

Unless the authorities bestir themselves election day may prove one. of blood and tire. The Medlicott Trial. The trial of Medjicott, at Granett, for the nwrder of M. Ruth, is in progress.

Iast week the scientific men who ha 1 made examinations of Ruth's stomach, were examined the evidence of whom are positive as to the detection of atrophene and morphene. Mrs. Ruth is at Garnett. On Saturday a new phaze was developed wliich is given in the following special to the Commonwealth. Garnett, Oct.

14 Special dispatch to the. Commonwealth: The examination of Johnson continued through the morning. He said that while in jail for burglary, he occupied the same cell as the. defendant. The defendant talked in his sleep, calling on "Sarah" and "Ruth" to nk quiet.

Johnson made arrangements to act a Mcdlicott's friend and bctrav him. He curried letters from the doctor to Mrs. Ruth, while out on bail. Copies were taken of them, which were identified by witness. Johnson said that the prisoner wished his house to be set on tire, as he needed money, ami was well Medlicott told witness tlwt other were concerned in Ruth's -death, and instructed" him- to tcil Mrs.

Ruth that if she would swear to certain things, he would take care she should irot be hung. A question con-iTiiing a statement made to Jolufson by Medlicott regarding his wife's body. Was objected to. The ruling was substantially in favor if the prosecution, and the. question will le repeated when some other evidence lias been presented.

Johnson wore in court suit of clothes given him by Medlicott. Whether this evidence be true or false, he is one of the vilext wretches, disgracing humanity. The court adjourned to Monday. V. Sijarmax.

We will hear more new details before going to press. The proceedings of the court on -Tuesday, in 'the Medlicott trial brought out all that the above dispatch contains, and more. Tlie letters written, by Medlicott while in jail to Mrs. Ruth, were produced. A girl formerly in the employ of Ruth testified that it wa a com-nioii thing for Mrs.

R. and the Dr. to lock i-hc-nisclves up in a room when Ruth was away. Oh Tuesday the greater part of the day was Liken up br the 'counsel in argument upon the -xflfnissicn ot- testimony touching, the deal of the Doctor's wife. Col.

The London fire which occurred on the22d of September, loufi, covered a square of 330 acres, destroying 13,200 edifices, 90 churches and many public buildings, and the total loss was to $00,000,000. The New-York fire of the 15th and lGth of December. 1835, covered 62 acres, and the total loss was $15,000,000 to $20,000,000.

The Chicago fire covers fully 4,000 and as yet it is impossible to state the loss, but it certainly exceeds that of any fire in the world. The great historical tires of Moscow, Edinburgh and Hamburgh were as nothing when compared with the Chicago fire.
