DETROIT, Sept. S.-Telegraph COM
ssmuliicatiou is entirely cut otf with the
worse parts OF the burnt le zion Of this
State, 80 that reports are vet some
What fragtnentary and it is hoped en-
agg6fAtcd, but there are many feafs
/ that the worse ilas not yet beeli t;ild.
The destruction Of Richmondvflle,
San llac>cQnntv, is confirmed. The
villages OF Carson, Charleston and III
era, are reported to he completely dc-
stroyed, and Ashley partly 50. The
townships of Delaware, Nunkcn. Aus
tin, in Sinclair county. and Binyll:,n
S1of,hah aud Paris. IN lluruh iitjuntv,
are burned over and destroyed. The
crops i'll these townships were ill hur-
vested and nearly all are now lost.
The remains OF family Of seven,
named Redmond, were found in a
well near Charleston. they having en-
tered the well for shelter and being
there s990c&tcd. Tile cliarrcd re.
mains Of Henry Cole were also found
at Charleston. and family named
Susnfa IN Paris township. and Mrs.
1)le0ert and her three children were
ovcrtakcn by the flames and burned to
death. In Watcrtown township
another family named DenlIison have.
It is beI'eved,. been burned. Two
families named Thornton and Lee, il
is feared, tell a prey to the flames.
:. Near RichmondviIle there was
gale carrying the fire with h 'rapitlitv
that often prevented escape. Ycsfcr-
day afternoon the direction of the
wind changed and this, it is feared,
will add 'ncW destruction by sending
the flames over tile sections that ,iaG
escaped. 1t was much cooler last
night, which is in that respect favora-
bic, but the wind Is high and the coun-
try helpless. There are no signs OF
rain, without which there seems to bs
no 'dalirerauce.
The board of trade, of tl1is 'city, YES
tcrday appointed q committee to solicit
relief for the destitute communities, as
it is very evident that u large work i'm
that dilection is at our doors. Hun
dreds Of tttmiliGs have lost all their
property and this years crops, and are
reduced TO a condition OF absolute and
Immediate want.
