BAY CITY'S BIG BLAZE.
FIVE HUNDRED HOUSES LAID IN
ASEBS.

The Loss Estimated a. S1,ooo,ooo TO
1,5oo,ooo-The Fire Raging Fu'
riously ALI NiRht-The Flames Car
ried Along by Gale Of Wind-Great
suffering Sure to Follow Among the
Poor People.
DETROIT, MICH, July ga special from
Bay City to the Journal says: "The terri-
bic fire which started yesterday afternoon
continued to rage all night and the sun
arose this morning on a field of ashes ex-
tending over forty blocks It was impossi-
Bile to check the flames, which were carried
before gale, until everything in their
track had been consumed, and to-day 1t Is
estimated that at least 500 buildings are in
ruins, representing a loss of probably
81, 500, ,0D0. Soon after the flames started
in Miller & Turner's saw-mill it was seen
that this end OF the CITY was doomed. There
was terrific wind blowing from the south
west, and great punches Of burning boards
were lifted aud scattered about the lumber
yard. The first alarm was quickly followed
by general one calling out every parti-
ole of apparatus in the city. Almost
before the firemen knew it, cloud
of flames and embers had swept across
Harrison street and in fifteen minutes the
eastern row Of the frame buildings from
1nTLkekU htTeeb, IOuT DUCKS, WAS hOlALo-
The firemen would no sooner lay their lines
of hose than the fire would be upon them
and they would be compelled to flee for
their lives. Burning boards were carried
200 feet fn the air, and wherever they
dropped some house or store would at once
add its fuel to thA confagration."
MADE A CLEAN SWEEP.
BAY CITY. MICH, July 26-Never did q
fire do cleaner work than the one which
swept through the city yesterday. Within
the burned territory not "A house was left
standing, while every shade tree Is stripped
of foliage and left bare. Many trees were
blown over by the fierce wind that pre-
vailed while the oonhagration was at its
hight and which carried fire brands far into
the east, firing the woods and prairies
in many places. It will require several
days to ascertain precisely how many build
inRs were consumed, but the number is close
TO 500. The total loss is somewhere around
81 ,000, 900. While the conhagration is q
serious blow to the city and will occasion
much suffering, the idea that the city lies In
ashes Is m istaken one. The principal
business portion lies over two miles from
the burned district and remains intact It
is tho poorer class who will suffer most and
much money, food and clothing will be re-
quired to provide for their immediate and
future wants

WASHINGTON, July 26.-The Post pub

said, to be similar to the one attempted,
several years ago by other parties. He has
printed circulars headed: To ex-Confed-

circular declares that the United States
had a right to protect its

wants to bring the matter before both cons
