Welcome Rain.

Detroit, Mich, September s.-Rains
have fallen in probably sufficient
quantity to quencb the fires, but not
enough to soak the ground and revive
the dropping vegetation. The lowest
estimates indicate that 2l5 families
have been burned out in the towns of
Marlette, Flynn, Argyle, Evergreen,
Moore, Lamotte and Elmer In Sanilac
county, and thirty-two persons are
known to be dead. Men who trav-
eled through the burned district yester-
day reported that the fires are mostly
cut and the inhabitants sitting about
the ashes of their burned houses,
many burned and otherwise injured.
They are disconsolate and almost be-
reft of their senses. Provisions,
clothing, bedding and other neces-
saries are being constantly forwarded
and men are travelling through the
burned sections distributing supplies
aud taking the names OF those in need
Many persons are still missing in the
burned district, and the exact loss can.
not be known for some days. Sixty
five burials are already reported in
six towns, and 1t is said that twenty
seven dead have been found in the
country between Bad Axe and Port
Hope. Trains are now running regu-
larly to Sand Beach and Marlettc.

The Silver Creek Accident.

The accident at Silver Creek bridge, mile
and one-half west OF st. Marys, mention of
which was made in our last issue, is un-
doubtedly as sad AZ any that has happened
IN this vicinity in long time. Fourteen
cars did not go into the chasm and were
taken back TO st. Marys. The cars that went
down were loaded with anthracite coal, rail-
road rails. and other merchandise, very little
of anything was saved. The coal took fire
when the intense heat twisted the rails in
every conceivable shape, making the work of
clearing away the wreck much greater on
that account. Sunday afternoon the body of
e engineer, VIM. Kepperley. was found
a. his engine. The fireman. Charles w.
Parks. Of Remove. was aged about twenty
two years, and leaves wife and one child.
A foot in a boot and few bones is all that
has been found OF the unfOrtuna te fireman.
Many people from Ridgway, st. Marys.
and the surrounding country visited the
scene Of the wreck on Sunday.
