Already some ofthemost heart-rending

may be restored, and doubtless will be,

memory Of the two noch<s tristes will

never be made up to them.

Burned.
DETROIT, October l2-The cutter
Fessenden reached Port Huron this
morning with seventeen more refugees
from the lake shore, two Of them fatally
burned. Port Austin has escaped the
flames so far. About two o'clock this
morning an alarm of fire was given in
Manisto, oppositd Detroit, and in few
moments the flames spread in every
direction, consuming the principal busl-
ness portion Of the town. The Great
Western Depot was saved through the
exer,ions of the railroad employees.
There was no wind, or probably not a
building would have escaped. One man
was arrested, it is said, in the act OF
firing building. He was lodged IN
jail. 4,
man lust arrived from Prestige says 500
people persisted in the flames. News
paper report cannot exaggerate the
fearful loss of life on the east shore.
Green Bay is filled with refugees. At
Williamsons Mill 55 lives were lost.
Manisto is burned. Loss 81 100000.
CHICAGO, October l2,-The Michigan
woods are reported to be on fire in
every direction, and the air ls filled
with cinders and smoke. The little set
tlement at Grand Junction, including
water tank, eating house, and depot
buildings are all swept away. Nearly
the whole country between Detroit and
Milwaukee, and along the Grand Trunk
railroad as far as Royal Oaks is on fire;
From the Saginaw Valley it isreported
that everything between Pine run and
Bridgeport is destroyed, and that four
lives we're lost at the burning Of Beiiied.
Big Rapids was utterly surrounded with
fire on Sunday night. The entire VII
la,e of DORIS Centre, except Newhall $
Hotel, is in ashes. The tamarac woods
between Grand Haven and Muskegan
were on fire and the flames were NOV
ing northward. The city and surround
ing country is filled with exciting ru-
mors ef outrages and lawlessness which,
in most every instance, are unfounded
Various estimates are made Of the total
loss, ranging from 5000, 900, 900 to s35O,-
600, 900. Probably the former figures
will cover the losses. The number of
acres now burned is about two thousand
five hundred, all OF which were covered
with buildings. 1t is reported that the
city of Madison, Canada, opposite De-
troit, was entirely destroyed by an IN
cendlarys fire last night. The Great
Western railway depot and a few other
buildings are all that remain OF the

This editorial reflects perfectly tn,
almost universal feeling Of the citizens
of all classes.
So far as mere words can do thei
gratitude for the universal sympathy
which has been expressed in the mos
practical form for the sorely smitteu
city, the writer says, the response Of the
people OF the United States to the ap
palling calamity which has overtaken
our city has no parallel in the history
Of the world since Christ died for our
sins. We can't return our thanks for
their loving kindness. Words falter on
our ips. Only our streaming eye. can
tell how deeply we feel their goodness.
While, however, the stricken people
have already reused themselves from
the first stunning, bewildering effects OF
the terrible blow to their business, they
are manfully girding themselves to re-
build their ruined fortunes.
The general feeling in our community
is continually growing more hopefully
cheerful. 1t is as surprising as it is
encouraging to see 80 many evidences
OF faith and courage among those who
were at first supposed to be hopelessly
crushed and ruined Many have
enough means left to resume business,
and many others, backed by offers Of
help from wealthy friends in other parts
OF the country, are arranging for re
building and resuming business.
The contributions OF money, food and
material are literally overwhelming, but
it will all lie needed, and are thankfully
received; blessed forever be human
nature to Chicago, for its brighter,
diviner side is being most generously
exhibited.
The Putnam, Merchants and Con-
tincntal Fire Insurance companies have
opened their vaults and found every
thing in good shape.
Never on the lace Of the earth has
there been so extended and ghoStly a
scene Of ruin and desolation as that
represented throughout the destroyed
districts in the south and north divi'
sions.
Water is running from the pipes in
the Easements Of most OF the dwellings
on the south side, and in the west divl-
sion it is pumped into the pipes by the
steam fire engines. On examination of
the engine works of the water works, it
is thought practicable to have it in run
ming order in ten days.
There was an insurance OF S225, ,OOO
on the Chamber Of Commerce building,
of which it is probable that 500, 600
will be obtained from the companies.
The structure is to be rebuilt on the old
site Immediately.
