DESTRUCTIVE CONFLAGRA-

A wisconsin Town Burned.

"hCOusln TOWn hUrneds
GREEN BAY, Aug. Sunday forest fires
swept the thickly settled farming township of
Eaton. Most OF the men were on the prairies
making hay, and their wives at home unavail-
ingly fought the flames. Only three houses
remain in the entire town, the inmates barely
escaping Thirty families are in the plowed
fields, having lost everything. Dead cattle lie
everywhere. The ripeniDg grain providentially
escaped serious injury Destitute families will
be temporarily provided for at the poor hause.
MILWAUKEE, Aug. Accounts from Eaton
confirm the reports of suffering by fire. The
settlement of Poanders, IL miles from Green
Bay, suffered severely. About 30 families are
rendered homeless and lost their crops, farm
ing tools, clothing and everything they pos
sessed. They barely escaped with their lives.
They were compelled to force their way through
a line of fire for about two miles. They hud-
died together for protection on tract of broken
ground, many being severely burned in the
face and in some cases their eyesight was inn
paired.
Many animals persisted lying in heaps and
crowCed together for fancied safety. Some
portions of the town have not yet been heard
from. There were heavy showers yesterday
and this morning and there is no probability of
any further damage.
Overdrown.
Later-The Inter Oceans Green Bay special
says the report of the ravages of fire at Eaton
are overdrawn. Thirty families were burned
ont and in many instances crops were Destroy
ed Loss $4,000.

Of speech; but will ask you to believe that
while we are thoroughly convinced that the
patriotism of Englshmen, if we need to appeal
to it, is equal to any emergency, and will
shrink from no sacrifice which the interests or
honor of their country demands, we feel in all
its intensity that horror of the crimes and
ealamities Of war, for which this country has
always been honorably distinguished. Let us
earnestly hope. the two objects being, as we
sincerely believe, in no way divergent, that we
shall be able to conduct this country through
all difficulties without trenching in the faintest
degree on its interests or honor, and without
losing for single moment the priceless
blessing of peace.

The yerdic, On ,be Reading Rio,.

READING, Aug. THE coroners jury in the
recent riot case have rendered verdict. They
acquit the 4th Regiment from any blame and
say it would be expecting too much of human
nature, especially on the part of unframed
soldiers, who were not to fire under the fearful
peril in which they were placed, and the jury
cannot censure them for the manner in which
they acted. In reference to the presence of the
military, the jury find no responsibility, for
the terrible tragedy is directly attributable to
those who composed the lawless body that
were assembled near the corner of 18th and
Pennsylvania streets, who were instigating
riotous proceedings, and the mob is primarily
responsible for all subsequent trouble and
bloodshed. The municipal authorities are
exonerated and Chief of Police Cullen com.
plimented for the faithful discharge of his
duty, and Sheriff Forgey is declared to be in
measure responsible for the events which fol-
lowed his arrival in town, Monday, July 23d.
