NORTHWESTERN FIRES.
Thrilling Account Of the Death OF
Ihirly-tWO Persons.

New York, October l9.-James B.
Clark, of Detroit, who has just arrived
here, gives a thrilling description OF the
death OF thirty-two persons by the great
northwestern fires in well in the Vi
cinty Of WilIiamson's Mills Mr.
Clark story is as follows: The most
terrible sight Of all was al Bowman :
well. Mr.. Bowman's hou-e was the
largest in the village, and in the centre
OF the yard, midway between the house
and barn, was located large bat shall
low well. Several OF the neighbors were
supplied with water from this fountain,
and it is likely that in the midst OF the
confiagra,ion, when al hope was cut
Oft. the neighbors, insane with terror,
thronged with one purpose to this
well. The ordinary chain and wheel
pulley at that place had been removed
aad the wretched people entered the
well as the last resource. Boards had
been thrown down to prevent them
being drowned, but evidently the relent
less fury OF the fire drove them pell
nell into the pit TO struggle with each
other and die, some by drowning and
others by fire and suiocaton. None
escaped. Tbirty-two bodies were found
there. They were in every imaginable
position, but the centortons OF their
limbs and agonzed expression of their
faces told the narrowing tale. They
must have fought with the fury OF wild
beasts and their death pangs must have
been excrutia;ing. The fixed glare Of
their eyes, sometimes stOnyani strained
almost out Of their sockets, the clutchef
hands extended grasping or pushing, the
set jaws and leering teeth, disheveled
hair and bruised persons, made a blood
freeing sight 10 look upon. One, q
voun. woman was bent nearly double,
but clasped to her heart was a sweet
baby, whose lips seemed glued to the
fond Young mothers in the last, long
kiss o. death. Three little girls, one
OF them with go!utn tEtsses IaIIIhg ~
her waist, were found cIasped together
so tightly that considerable force was
necessary to separate them. These
were undoubtedly suffocated, and thus
sank into the deep, profound sleep that
know no waking. One old man was
found with his head down below the
water, and little boy was near him
with his hands clenched in the old
mans white hair. Three women were
almost double with the heavy bodies
pressing upon them from above. Those
on the top Of the well were badly dis
figured by the fire. This was indeed q
pile Of destruction. The water va:
about five feet deep and the well wa:
walled in nicely with stone, having g
diameter OF fully four feet.

AQUATIC.
International Yacht Race.

New YORK, October l9.-The third
race of the international struggle came
off to-day, but not at the hour at which
it was expected. The bay was crowded
with steamers all morning, filled with
eager spectators, who seemed disap-
pointed at the unwonted delay in the
race. The committee were unable to
agree as 10 which boat to race against
the Livonia, and it was not until about
one o'clock that preparations were
made for start. 1t was then an
nounced that the Columbia had again
been selected as the representative yacht.
At l:25 the signal was given, and the
Livonia filling away slipped her moor
ings and sped onward with as fine
breeze as could be wished, with all her
sails set and west-southwest wind. She
got few minutes start OF her antago-
mist. The Englisnman seemed to make
good use OF his time, aud the Livonia
bowled along rapidly. The Columbia
was not in good trim for the race, and
did not do a. well as her friends could
have wished. The Livonia sped along
aud passed the first one mile ahead OF
the Columbia. The wind was blowing
very hard outside the Hook, the waves
rolling very high. The sea and wind
were both too heavy for the Columbia
The Livonia's rigging and trim were
very heavy and she could stand gale,
but the Columbia was weak and could
not stand up to such a stiff breeze. The
Livonia reached the lightship and
rounded at 3:20 50; the Columbia at
3:25-30. Coming home, two Of the Co.
lumba's sails were blown away and ac-
cidents were continually occurring TO
her rigging, being unable TO stand the
strain. The Livonia stood il out beauti-
fully, and sailed right away from her
antagonist, reaching The home stake at
5:lS aud the Columbia at 537, the cor.
rected time given the Columbia making
the Livonia winner by II minutes and
10 seconds, or about three and half
miles. The next race takes place on
Saturday, twenty miles to w.niward of
the li-htship.

counts OF the doings ofand contests with
bears, which are unusually numerous
in that region. The Neilsville RtPH6'
dean says that they are so plenty in the
woods that hunters are killing them
every day, and.that a young man living
about a mile east Of the town recently
caught three in trap in less than
week. In the town OF Loyal, two boys,
while hunting for cows, came across an
old she-bear and two or three cubs.
Bruin showed fight, and the boys were
obliged to climb tree for safety. The
cries OF the children brought assistance,
and the bears scampered of. The Eau
Claire Free Press says Jake Stump had
quite fight with bear, and finally
managed to kill him. Bruin weighed
three hundred and fifty pounds lie
