BAY Cry, Mtcn., July 25.-The great.
est conhugration which ever visited Bay
City broke out at2 o'clock this after
noon in the lumber manufacturing es-
tablishment of Miller & Turner situated
on the west eide Of Water street at tho
foot OF Twenty.ninth street. A brisk
southwest wind was blowing at tho
time, which tanned the flames into a
roaring confagration and swept them
across Water street into tho settled dis
trict.
The east side Of water street where
tho fire crossedwas builtup with stores,
hotels and restaurants. Nearly all tho
buildings were constructed of wood and
burned like finder. The wind increased
as the flames progressed and in an hour
the fire had consumed Miller i Turn.

salt blocks, dry kilns and a large quaint

departments camo to tho scene OF tho
disaster and lent such assistance as lay
in the power OF the firemen. But
in spite OF the hundreds OF
streams playing on the fire, the ilamo'
nursued their course, licking up
house after house until at s o'clock
upwards Of 500 buildings had been dc.
stroycd, and the confaGration was still
sweeping towards the eastern limits OF
the city. While the majority OF tho
buildings burned belonged to working
people, many fine residences have been
consumed.
forty stores OF all varleii es are included
among the structures which have con-
tributed fuel to the fumes. AT this

concerning people who have persisted.

strikers and soldiers at least seemed to
have fully settled down to the conclu-
sion that long tedious siege was be-

jority OF the musicians helped to give
the camp dull air, and the workmen

to long dcicrrod repairs in sidewalks
and fences ut their homes.
Among the few to be found in public
places therc wero practically only two
topics, tho punishment Of private Iams

by report that a riot was in progress

who Gefed tho officers to arrest him.

Of tho Carnegie company are guarded
this morning by large detachment Of

It IL now about settled that an effort
will DO made to put several hundred
men In this mill as soon rs they can be

arrived at the works. Only the hands
employed right along since tho shut
down ten days ago arc on duty, but
everything about the interior OF the de-

readiness for workers. The furnaces
are lighted as they were for the past
several days.
