i_il.\'Ci{i.i2T, Minn., Sept. 4.—A gentle
rain is failing today and quenching the
burning embers of the immense forest
fires that 1 did so much damage in this
place. Thefbla‘ckened ruins of two or three
brick buildings are all that remain stand;
ing .oftlip once ‘prosperous town of Black;
ley, withQits 1,700 people and its busy rail;
road endgiumhering interests. The town
is the junction point for the St. Paul and
Duluth and the Eastern Minnesota rail-
ways, and both those roads havesufi'ered
immense losses that cannot be now esti-
mated, while the loss to the timber inter-
est ;ais something beyond computation.
This is today a place of mourning, and the
burial of the charred and unrecognizable
bodies of the hundreds of victims has sad-
' dencd the survivorseven ’more than the
disaster itself. The 'fire was so over.
‘ fibelming in its immensity that none
some in the first terror- of the-moment re-
hjlize how great was his loss. Each was
so intent on saving ,his own life that lit-
‘file thought was giventto the disaster in
general by most, ,thpugh many cases of
heroism have been reported. The bodies
thus'far recovered ’have- been placed in
rough pine boxes-for burial, and the ma-
jority of them have been buried without
there being any knowledge of their iden.
tity. The wires that were down this side
of Pine Cityir'ave been so far put in shape
that the Press operator is able to send his
report as he sits on an empty keg in the
open air, there being no shelter of any
kind in the‘town.
Heroic Engineer and Fireman. .
Most ofthe surxivors went to Pine City
yesterday for'_ food and shelter, and the _
women and children are still there, but
many of . the men have returned to their
ruinedg ‘homes to see if by any possibility
anything remains. The limited train that
left Duluth at 1 o’clock Saturday after-
noon had, an experience north. of this
place'that will place its entire train crew
on the. roll of honor of heroes for a long
time. _ The train came to within 1%
miles of this place through the smoke, alv
tbOugh Engineer Root could not see 101
feet’aivay, and the going forward was a
good'deal of guesswork. The fires were
bearing down on them from every side,
and ,there seemed no chance for their
lives'but to go ahead. The number of fiee-
ing homesteaders and residents of this
place along the track‘was so great that
finally the engine was stopped, and as
many as could get aboard the train were
taken on. In the meantime the engineer’s
clothes caught fire, as did also those of
his fireman, and both men seemed likely
to be overcome by the fury of the flames
which had seized on the engine. Fireman
McGowan, put out the fire on his own
clothes. by jumping into the water tank
and threw water an Engineer Root, who
staied at his post holding the throttle and
nerving himself to stand to his duty
though he perished. There seeming to be
no chance ahead, the train .was backed at
full speed as soon as the refugees,were
. aboard until a swamp near Skunk Lake,
six miles north, was reached, where the
passengers and over 2530 residents of
Hinckl'ey who had boarded the trainburied
themselves in the mud. They remained
there through the night and early in the
morning were brought on down the road,
many of them badly burned and much
shattered by their experience. The win-
dows‘ of the coaches were burst by the
heat, and» a‘ number of men became crazed
by the. excitement and terror and threw
themselves, out of the windows to their
deaths. The cars were all on fire before
the swamp was reached. and the entire
train wassoon‘ in ashes. Even the tender
was burned.“-'Engineer Root was taken
to his home at‘White‘ Bear. Physicians
hope for his recOvery, although the in:
halation of, the hot fumes of smoke and
air may be too much for him.
The 2 glass in the cab windows broke,
and he was badly out about the head,
while his clothes were nearly burned from
his body. One piece of glass laid here his
jugular, and it seems miraculous that he.
escaped alive. His only thought was for
the safety of his passengers, and he said
in reply to a remark' that he had become
the hero of the country, “I only did my
duty- I i , .
A train on the Eastern Minnesota was
ditched near .Pokcgama, a short distance
west'of Hinckley, but the passengers all
escaped. . The train probably burned after
the passengers and crew escaped,although
no definite news .Was received. ,
Fire Aver-ted a “'reck.
The remarkable thing, connected with
this accident is'the fact- that only a few
feet in from of where the train was ditch-
ed a bridgi 122223 liner. burned. which would
have caused a very serious accident. With
certain loss Of life. it is not thought any
other trains have been caughtin- the fires.
None is running today, ail bridges hav-
ing been destroyed, “and. in some places
the. track-2 are useless. .rails being twisted
out of shape and the ties lwnedfi-
. through Bashaw', tool; 1.2 mop,
ll
Only one additional new body had been
found at this place today, and it is likely
that the dead here will not- exceed much
more than 200.
All the bodies were buried today, as it
would be impossible to keep them longer.
A call was sent to the Twin Cities for
more shovels and more men to bury the
"dead, and they got here on relief 2 trains
during the afternoon. ‘ _‘
After the deluge a reaction has come at
I-Iinckley. The excitement which has
buo‘yed up so many of the survivors, even
in the face of the fact that so many rela-
tives and friends had perished in the fiery
flood, has passed away, and dull lethargic
grief has taken Its place. The unanurcu
refugees at Pine City, and there are sev-
eral hundred of them, are standing about
the street corners in little knOts discuss-
ing the incidents of the catastrophe in
awestruck tones. The probable death-oi.
this one or this family and the news oi
the escape of another who‘was at first sup.
posed to have perished are all discussed
with the same bonumbod air, expressing
neither sorrow nor despair in the one case
nor elation nor joy in the other. Tin
night was a gloomy one. The hospital
patients demanded the attention of the
physicians all night, and the only drug-
gist in Pine City was kept busy until day-
light filling prescriptions and supplying
lotions, for most of the injuries are burn:
more or less serious; By morning all were
in a. state of 'cOnIpaI-ative comfort, and
there were none whose hurts were deemeé
fatal. Among the good citizens of Pint
City who had opened their hearts, theil
homes and their public buildings to than
stricken neighbors all was hustle and ac-
tivity. The town hall was kept open alI
night and coffee and plain fare served ti
ail-comers. The courthouse, the school
house and many a private .home was
'thrown c on. Every blanket in the tow:
was calle into service. - The women anc’
children were given the better quarters,
and the men stretched out in rows on the
floors of the two public buildings named
A Thrilling Trip.
ST. PAUL, Sept. 4.—Several traveling
.men, among th’em' James Lobdell of this
city, who abandoned the ill fated train
which was burned at Hinokley, hays jnsl
arrived here. '
The thrilling story of their trip from
the train back to Hlnckley is thus told bl
Mr. Lobdell: “I have been .a traveling
man for the past 12 years and had heat
over the‘Duluth line so many times that l
felt safe in making a trial. I was so well
acquainted with the location of thI
streams that I thought if we got in a
tight place we could run into one of then
and save ourselves. We had lost all of out
baggage; as had the rest of the passen-
gers, and we had nothing else besides the
clothes we wore and each a light over-
coat. With the rest Mr. Anderson had
lost $12, 000 of bonds, which could not be
replaced. , We got along pretty well for the
first half hour, but we then ran int:
smoke so dense that we could not see
three feet in front of us. We were in im-
minent- danger of being sufiocated. We
could not see the track, and the ties were
burning beneath our feet. Each of us
took an overcoat and wrapped it about hli
head, leaving only a small opening through
which to breathe.
“To add to the horror of the situation,
every little way we would come across .a
dead body. We were only saved by occa-
sionally arriving at a railway cut, where
there was generally but little smoke. Two
miles above Hinckloy the dead bodies be-
gun to grow thicker. Most of them had
died from suffocation. In several cases
they' had saved their heads by running
them into sand heaps, only to have their
bodies so badly burned that they could
not survive. '
“In one place we found four dead in one
heap—a mother and three children. She
had laid them on the ground, and then
laid down on them in an attempt to cover
them. EVery shred of clothing was burned
from every one of them. On the way down
to Hinckley we counted 29 bodies, and at-
this point we learned that the total death
roll would reach over 200, as scores of peo-
ple ran directly into the woods, where they
had no chance whatever to escape. " ,
- ,Mr. Lobdeil and his companions found
a wagon bridge and went in a-roundabout
way~to a point south of Mission creek,
where they found a hand our and went to
Pine City. '
The telegraph operator there, Otis
Green, remained at his post until all but
three. buildings in Hinckley had been
burned. When the depot took fire, he ran
to the safe and took therefrom $5,000 in
greenbacksand fled to the river. l-lc re-
mained in the river several hours, when
he joined Lobdell and his companions in
their trip to"Plne City. Dozens of people
tried to save themselves by running into
the river. Some were successful, but many
were suffocated by the smoke. Nine bod-
ies were taken out at the same time this
morning, and probably 20 or 30 more will
be found. Everybody is in a state of be-
wilderment, and as all records are burn-
ed it- is hard to get any definite informa-
tion as to the peOple or property. Hinck-
lay is a total loss.
' Governor Nelson, Mayor'Smith of St.
Paul and Mayor Eustls of Minneapolis
have all issued proclamations calling on
the people for help. Anything in the line
of provisions, clothing or money will be
acceptable, as the need is very great. All
the churches in this city, as the relief Io-
oietles, have been throwing open their
places for contributions, and several re?
spouses have been made.

EAU. CLAIRE, Wis, Sept. 4.—-Wires to
points on the northern division of the
Omaha road, have been down since last

north is lacking. The last train from
the north on the Omaha road reachedhere
at 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon, and no
trains have gone out or in since, except a
wrecking train sent from Eau'Claire'ear-
ly this morning. Railroad men say the _
whole. region to Gartwright. to Bush“?

without stopping. The n ortnwestern
Lumber company has reports of fresh
breaking out of fires along the Eau Claire
river. One of the companies said that they
already had 50,000,000 feet of pine burned
on the Eau Claire and did. not believe
there would be a green tree left when rain
comes. One of the Eau Claire owners of
the Barronett Lumber company’s plant
says the loss there is $250,000. A special
from Cadott says the village is surround-
ed by fire. . - -
Fears For St. Paul‘sportsmen.
_ ST. PAUL, Sept. . i —It is feared that
many well known, residents of St. Paul
have perished in the forest fires of Black-
lay and vicinity since Saturday night.
Large numbers of sportsmenhave left St.
Paul-within the last lOdays to hunt prai-
rie chickens near Hlnckley, Mora, Sand-
stone and other points in that vicinity,
‘and few of these places have escaped the
fierce flames. . The fire covers a wide
stretch of territory, and if these sports-
men were in the forests no power on earth
could save them unless they were close to
'some large body of water. A great many
St. Paul families are uneasy, fearing the
worst has happened, to their loved ones
who went gunning last week. President
George Freeman of the Minnesota ‘Shoe
company and Lumberman Uuslcx, a
prominent resident of Stillwater, went
hunting in the forests near Hlnckley last
Friday, and nothing had been heard of
them up to midnight last night. It is
feared they perished in the fire. Mrs.
Freeman said last night that her hus-
band‘s address was Mora, Minn., about 25
miles this side of Hinckley, so in all
probability Mr. Freeman is safe, though
nothing has been heard from him.
Refugees at Duluth.
DULUTH, Sept. 4.——’l‘hls city is the ref-
uge for hundreds of survivors of the great
forest fires. A train bearing nearly 600,
who escaped from Hincklcy, reached here
at 9:20 o’clock last night. At 2:45 yester-
day morning the .ilrst relief train sent
down the line by the St. Paul and Du-
luth arrived with about 300 settlers, and
probably 200 more came in on the second
St. Paul and Duluth relief train, which
left here at 5 o’clock yesterday morning
and returned at 12:30 in the afternoon.
The refugees presented a most pitiful
sight. All were poor people, Few of thg
men had hats or coats, and the women
were not more fully clad. Women with
babies in arms were there, accompanied
by from two to five other tots, homeless
and friendiess, except for a charitable
public. Many of the women were without
their husbands, as the latter remained to
see if something could not be saved. In
the grimy, soot covered crowd were many
children without parents.
Firo Under Control at iilllaca.
MILACA, Minn., Sept. 4.—Threatened
danger to this town of complete destruc-
tion by forest fires in over and the fire
completely under control. While no lives
are known to be lost here, the loss to
property is very heavy. Many farmers are
left without even enough to cook a meal,
losing buildings, live stock and every-'
thing, slick and clean, with no insurance
whatever. The Miiaca Lumber company
lost'400, 000 feet of hard wood logs and its
upper dam on the Rum river. A special
train which reached here from St. Cloud
shortly before 7 o’clock last evening head-
ed for Hinckley. It is reported here that
a fierce fire is raging for miles east, and
the freight may get no farther than that.
Railroads Crippled.
, MARQUETTH, Mich, Sept, 4.—-The west-
ern division of the Duluth, South Shore
and Atlantic road is crippled by the loss
of bridges in forest fires. Several other.
roads have sufiered serious loss. Reports
from afi the lumber towns between Nes
toria and‘iho Wisconsin state line are that
all are safe, but that many are fighting
fire dangerously near. At Ewen many
people have loaded their cflects on a train
which the South Shore officials are keep-
, ing ready to move out if necessary. Some
buildings in the outskirts have been born-
ed. .The smoke is still heavy, and the fog
whistles are sounding.
Barrouett Ohllterated.
SPOONER, Wis, Sept. 4.—The destruc-
tion of Barronett is gomplete. One lone
building is left of , a city of 700 inhabit-
ants. One man was burned. The total
loss is $250,000. Shell Lake has 62 dwell
ings burned, with a total loss of $75, 000.
Three hundred and sixty. people are home-
less, and many are without a dollar of in-
surance. Deeds of heroism are plentiful.
One widow dragged her. typhoid sick son
from the house intoa potato patch and
there protected him“ from the flames while
the rest of the inhabitants fied in terror.
The fires are now under control in this
vicinity.
Eighty Dead Within so: Miles.
WHITE BEAR, Minn., Sept. 4.—About
80 people have just arrived here from
Hinckley and other fire devastated towns.
They report the less of life an appalling.
The six members of one family took ref~
uge in a cellar at Hinckley, and the bodies
are there in a heap, burned tola crisp. On
the wagon road leading northeast from
Hinckley 80 bodies are lying dead within
six miles of the village. Among the in
lured here are Christopher D. OBrien, ex-
mayor of St. Paul, who is quite painful-
lyburned about the eyes and head. His
son was also badly burned. .
Loss’at Binekley, $800,000,
MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 4.—-From a staff
correspondent of The Journal at Pine
City, Minn., came the following: "A
heavy rain has set in and bids fair to con-
tinue all day. No further particulars as
to the list of the dead are obtainable this
morning. Public burial of the unidenti~
fled bodies will be held at Hlnckley today.
The‘total loss at’ Hinckley and the imme-
diate vicinity is roughly ostim‘ated at
$800,000." ‘

mation is that about 20 towns have al-
ready been destroyed, driving thousands
of families from their homes in-the face
of the flames. .
- ‘ The "Herald. summarizes as follows: Six
towns wiped out and more than 500 dead
is the record made by the’ forest fire in
Minnesota in the last 24 hours. In'Hinck-
ley, Sandstone, Pokegama, Sandstone
Junction, Skunk Lake and Mission Creek
there are 855 known dead. In addition,
several hundred are missing, while from
2 150 to 200 people are scattered on farms
throughout- the dist-riot burned over.
The destruction was complete in most
of the towns named, but some of the for-
est land escaped. The loss, however, will
be in the millions, and the loss of life will
not be definitely known for several days,
if ever. The relief trains carried supplies
sent out from St. Paul, Minneapolis, Du-
luth and other Minnesota towns, and the
sufi'srers are being handsomely cared for
at Pine City and other points.
The Record summarizes as follows:
Western Minnesota has suffered in the
last 24 hours from a horror never equaled
in this country except at Johnstown, Pa.,
May 31, 1880- Nearly 400 persons are
known to be dead, over $2, 000,000 worth
of property is destroyed, and hundreds or
families are homeless in Pine City and
adjoining counties. '
Reports received late tonight indicate
that the death list will‘exceed the number
given" above and may not fall short of
1,000.. There is imuch confusion in the
reports. and it is impoSsible to get any-
thing like a correct estimate tonight.

Reports from the forest'fires as they
come into the Northwestern and Wiscon4
am Central railway headquarters today
were meager, but :showed fearful loss of
life and destruction of property. The
Northwestern received word at 10 o'clock
that a heavily loaded freight train had
been abandoned on a burning bridge, but
that the crew had escaped. An official of
the road says that their reports indicated
that unless the fire swept region received
rain the havoc would be worse today than
yesterday. '
The Wisconsin Central service was bad-
ly demoralizcd, and none of the reports re-
ceived gave any definite information re-
garding the loss ofélife‘. Professor Moore
of the weather bureau hero predicted a
hard rain for the; burned region, today,
and a light rainfall began during thefore-
noon.
A LETTER. FROJI D. R. PAIGE.
The Alleged Offer by the Defaulter For a

CLEVELAND, Sept. 4.—A letter from
David R. Paige, the former representative
in congress who is accused of having
ington to hundreds of thousands of deliars’
worth of paper, has becn'roceived in Cleve-
land. In it Paige says that he has made a
liberal offer to banks holding Paige,
Carey 8: Co.’s paper to redeem all paper
held by them, which offer has been ac-
cepted by nearly all such banks, and that
the Huntington attorneys are by'agree-
ment with his attorneys remaining pass-
ive to give him an opportunity to effect a
settlement. ‘ ’
Paige also wrote that he took no money,
books or papers with him to South Amer-
ica, and for corroboration refers to F. H.
Hirde, a New York detective, who, he
says, was sent to see him by the Hunting-
ton estate attorneys. Paige’s letter is
dated San Isaido.
