iniunctions have been decreed by the courts
for the protection Of the public and the sup

exposure and punishment docs not prevent
the crimes of counterfsiting. When one
subterfuge is exposed and prohibited a new
fraudulent device is invented. Therefore

The latest and most important archac-

THE DELUGE OF FIRE BURNING.
On Wednesday night the burning
district between Deckerville and Sand
Beach was visited by rain storm, which
put out a considerable portion of the
fires and cleared the atmosphere.
The latest reports are that the fires
appear to be abatng. A dispatch from
Port Austine, Mt the top of the burned
peninsular, sums up the general destrnc-
ton as follows: The loss of lives from
the forest fires on Monday and Tuesday
is estimated at from two to three hun
dred. The following villages were burn
ed: Bad Axe, Verona, Forest Bay,
Richmondville, Charleston, Anderson,
Dockersville, IIarrisonville and Sandus-
ky. The following were partly burned:
Port Hope, Minden and Elbly. The
great loss in villages is nothing to that
in the country, where the losses are too
numerous to be named,
Reports from Saginaw, TusCola aud
Lapeer counties, one tier back from the
Lake, while showing much destruction
of property, do not approach the losses
in the shore counties. The loss by fire
was much less sweeping and general,
and the loss of life was small. But in
each of these more favored counties hun
dreds of thousands of dollars woVth of
property has been destroyed. The lat
est reports from all these counties en-
courage the belief tliat rain has visited
many sections and that the dcluge of
flame Is largely subsiding. The work of
immediate relief must now be systcmat-
icaly entered upon. Lumber to build
houses, provisions of all kinds, clothing
and seed for future crops must be fur
nished in large quantities TO prevent still
greater dcstitution. The benevolent ey
crywhcrc can safely send money to Mr..
Il. G. Carleton, Mayor Of Port Huron,
or to Senator O. u. Congcr, in the same
place, with Tie assurance HAT the means
will be judiciousIy used. Prompt action
is urgently demanded.
Rains have fallen I'm probably sufficient
quantity TO Qucnch the fires, bnt not
enough to soak the ground and revive |
vegetation. The lowest estimates indi-
cate that 2lj families have been burned |
out IN the towns of Marlette, Flynn, Ar
gylc, Evergreen, Moore, Lamolte and
Elmer, IN Sanilac county, and - persons |
are known to be dead. Men who tray
cllcd through the burned district yester-
day reported that the fires are mostly |
out aud the inhabitants sitting about the
ashes Of their burned houses.
