Latest from the Fires--A Horrible Story.
Mi1waukie, VS., October 19.-The Dow
county Adcocate contains full particulars of
the loss of life and property by the great
fires in that county up to the night of the
sth. Fires had been raging through the
towns of Brussels, Union, Gardner, For
restville, Claybanks, Nescraupee, Sturgeon
Bay, and Scvastopol, burning fences and
timber, but leaving the houses untouched.
AT 8 O'Clock on Sunday night tornado
of fire from the southwest, beginning at
Belgian settlement, in Brussels, swept
through the towns of Union and Gardner,
the western part of Sevastopol, and down
the east shore of the bay, consuming every
building in its path.
AT Willamson's mill everything was
burned, and the most awful destruction of
human life ensued. Out of so persons at
the mill, 81 were burned to death. The
few survivors tell horrible tales of the
scene after the fire.
Forty-fivc bodies were found in a potato
patch in the center of the clearing; others
were found scattered in various places
some in well. Many We're dsfgured in
horrible manner, and in some cases be-
yond recognition. This great destruction
was the work of only fifteen minutes, and
was effected by the same tornado that
burned Pshtego and | 200 human beings.
A number of other losses of life are re-
ported in other places. Twenty-Five were
burned at Brussels. There is scarcely a
house or barn standing in the line of the
fire. Efforts for relief are not spared here
or anywhere in the State, and donations
from abroad are arriving to make COM
Portable those who survive.
Contributions Of money may be sent to
Alexander Mitchell, president of the Wis
consin Marine and Fire Insurance Bank, at
Milwaukee, and clothing or provisions to

and prayers, alternated with singing, were
offered for them until the hour mentioned.
Yesterday morning at five o'clock,
quite large number gathered around the
preachss stand, and a Prayer meeting Of
an hours duration, held. The sun shone
ont brightly and all on the ground antici-
paied a pleasant day Tor outdoor worship.
Al eight o'clock another prayer meeting
was held at the sameplace, followed by a
relation of exp-sience, from preachers as
well as the laity. The morning sermon
was preached at II o'clock By Rev. J. P.
Farmer, of Chapline Street Church, from
Galatians, 9th chapter, 14th verse, The
promise Of fairweather in the early morn
remained unbrOksn until the close Of this
service. The large congregation listened
with close attention to the Rev. Mr. F.'s
discourse, which was among the best de.
liyered since the commencement Of the
meeting.
Shortly after twelve, clouds began to
gather in the West and South. This did
not, however, deter large number Of
children from assembling around the
stand al o'clock, when a meeting was
held for their benefit The duty Of con-
Quoting the exercises had been assigned
to Rev. 3! W. Davis, oil the church on
the Island, and right well did he dis
charge it. Short and interesting adj
dresses were delivered By two or three
ministers, while the singing by the chill.
drcn was especially fine.
