Bay city Almost wiped ont

BAY CITY, Mich, July 25.-The greatest
confagration which ever visited Bay City
started at 2 o'clock this afternoon in the lum-
Der manufacturing establishment of Miller &
Turner, on the west side of Water street at
the foot of Twenty A brisk southwest
wind famed the flames into roaring conha-
grafton, and they swept across Water street
into the settled district. The east side of
Water street was built up with stores, hotels,
etc. Nearly all were wood and they burned
like finder, The wind increased as the
flames progressed, and in an hour the fire had
consumed Miller & Turner's entire plant, in
cluding sawmills, salt works, dry kilns and
large quantity of lumber. The flames also
travelled three blocks eastward, cutting a swath
two blocks wide. At this point the path
broadened, and block after block was swept
away with astonishing rapidity. Thousands
of men, women and children rushed about,
engaged in removing furniture and other
household effects. Every vehicle in the city
adapted to the purpose was on the ground,
their services. At 5 O'Clock 80 blocks had

plying fuel TO the fire. Aid came from sur
rounding points and the fremen fought des-
perately, but with dozen streams playing the
flames swept on, licking up house after house,
until at o'clock upward of 800 dwellings
were destroyed, and the fire was still sweeping
toward the eastern limits of the city. While
a majority of the buildings burned belonged
to working people, many fine residences have
been consumed. Two chm ches, four hotels
and about 40 stores of all kinds are among
the other places destroyed.
AT 10 P. M. there were many rumors of loss
of life, but SO far as positively known only
one death has occurred, a woman who was
sick in a dwelling house, which was mass
of flames before assistance arrived. 1t is also
reported, but not confirmed, that two children
were burned to death. Miller & Turner lost
about $I5o, 1000, mostly covered by insurance.
The entire losses will aggregate upwards of
81, 100000.

Carnegie viii Say Nothing.

LONDON, July 25.-Andrew Carnegie is at
Bannock Lodge, IS miles from telegraph
office. 1t has been impossible to get any
statement from him in regard to Homestead
affairs, or the shooting of Frick. He refuses
to answer kilograms or letters. There is
much feeling against him here. A large
meeting of laborers adopted resolutions
strongly condemning Carnegie's course in
regard to the Homestead troubles. They ex-
pressed the hope that workmen would con-
temptuously refuse any further philanthropic
gifts from him.

be as good as gold mine at our doors: The
old Susanville road, with the expenditure
of few hundred dollars, could be made a
