DULUTH, Mimi, June 19.-The mining
town of Virginia has been burned out.
The first train bearing refugees from there,
carrying $50 people, mostly women and
children, arrived here this morning. The
wcaricd and hungry passengers were
hurried to the baggage rooms where
elaborate lunches were spread. The
greater portion of those were penniless,
dependent absolutely upon what charity
might offer. Jas. Mccarthy, an actor,
accompanied by his wife and child, who
were playing at the Star theater, speak
ing of the fire said:
The fire had been burning about Vir-
einia for several davs, but no one else
| seemed to worry. SO we did not. We
were called out to fight the fire, but it
\ was easily gotten under control. Yes
tcrday morning it was worse, and the
town was almost surrounded by fire.
About O'Clock the wind, which had
been rising all the morning, began to
| blow "A perfect gale, and the houses on
| the edge of the town began to burn. The
people went mad. They attempted at
| first to save everything and began NOV
| ing the furniture. Then they tried to
| save the lighter articles, but as the fire
grew fcrccr they were glad to save any
| thing and escape with their lives. The
town burned like tinder; light frame
buildings like SO much paper The whole
town was in ruins in less than an hour.
| The terrified people gathered about the
| Mcsaba depot where t Inc officers of the
road were doing everything for their
safety. train OF ore cars was backed
into the depot and the people loaded in.
All the way we came through a line OF
fire."
Forest fires have been raging all
through Northern Wisconsin today
The fire is likely to sweep on south and
burn millions of feet of standing pine.
| The result of Il year of enterprise or
the Mesa ba range has been w ped out in
a single day bv these fires.

event of Mr.. Gudger's failing o.

removed from Ashevillc. Mr.. Elias first
applied for the attorncyship, but a com
promise was effected, at the suggestion
of Mr.. Cleveland probably, the result o
which is today's appointment. This, it i:
believed, insurcs the office to Ashevill'
for another term at least. Mr.. Elias

Ashcville being the nearest city having

TWO BREAKS

In the Mississippi Levee Near New Orleans
Much Damage VIII Result.
NEW ORLEANS, June 19.-About Z
o'clock Sunday night two breaks oc-
Cured on the east bank of the Mis-
sissippi river, one above and the other
below the city. The former from pres
ent indications will prove as disastrous
as the famous Nita crevnsse. 1t is
about forty-seven miles above New
Orleans, directly in front of ST.
Peters settlement and Immediate
ly this side of Leon Cod
chauxs' big reserve sugar refinery
and plantation. 1t was twilight when
the break occurred, and it appears that
about six feet of the levee gave way to
the pressure of the waters Mt the first
instance. The alarm was Immediately
sounded, but there being no material
in the vicinity nothing could be done
towards closing it, The spot is very
bad one for a crevasse to occur. The
levee is a high one, about twelve feet,
and owing to the action of the
water, being sweeping curve
in the river, the bank is caving. There
is fully thirty feet of water just of
shore. This will practically make il
impossible to close the brake. The
water will food a vast area of land un'
der cultivation principally as sugar
plantations and the damage will be
incalculable.

Nick said it was too cold for thorough

Nick led his acquisition off into the

iccted as the cur. when "A lady met him

ON THE ALERT

Silver Question.
Sc .retary Carlisle Thinks the sherman Act
VIII he Repealed, Hut Fears Somc-
thing Worse May lie substituted
Congressman Rayncr Loads.

WASHINGTON, June 19.-President
Cleveland Is watching with much inter-
est the numerous efforts being made by
congressman and by newspapers to
poll members of the next congress on
the silver question. AS a whole the
returns have been quite satisfactory to
the administration, as they support the
confidence the president had begun to
feel in the improved condition of demo-
cratic opinion as to the necessity for
repeating ut once the Sherman pur-
chase act. 1t is understood, however,
that Secretary Carlisle is still far from
satisfied with the prospect.
He has no doubt that n majority of
the house will favor the repeal of the
law, but he does not yet see that there
will be sufficient number of votes to
repeal 1t without stipulation for
something else as the price of repeal.
What with the members who will not
vote for repeal unless they can have
free coinage for it, and the other men,
bers who insist that repeal shall only
be granted with the gift of the repeal
of the tax on state banks, the secretary
is unable to express perfect confidence
in the action of the house
There is no doubt that before the
congress is called upon to legislate
there will be an effort to ascertain to
what extent the proposition to repeal
the state banks will be acceptable in
congress, and among the business men
who are apt to look at it from point
of view not affected by par tisan.
ship. Oddly enough the opposition
to state banks now seems
to come from sections Of the
country that have the greatest need Of

ing would supply. Kansas, which
knows itself best, is for greenbacks,
and in other parts of the west there is
