There.
ASHLAND, Wis, Sept. 5.-The smoke
and dirt begrimed settlers of the forest
have been struggling into Ashland all
the forenoon with tales of losses of
homes and everything on their farms.
They are taken into the homes of the
people here and everything possible is
done for their comfort and relief.
To add to the excitement at Wash
burn incendiaries got out and COM
menced starting fires in different por-
lions of the city. Five have been ar
rested, three Of them caught in the
act. When first arrested, rumors of
lynching were prevalent. Large num-
bers of deputies were sworn in and
placed on guard in different parts of the
city, with instructions to guard the
docks in particular.

One Hundred and Fifty Million Feet of
Lumber Destroyed.


One Hundred and Fifty Million Feet of
Lumber Destroyed.
7 MARQUETTE, Mich, Sept. s. The
South Shore road got its Saturday night
train through from Duluth during the
morning, Il hours late. Trains are go
ing around by Ashland and Saxony on
account of the burned trestles at Bibon
and Marengo. Reports from all towns
along the South Shore to the Wisconsin
state line say that they are all safe,
though there are literally hundreds Of
fires in the vast belt Of timber.
The dense pail of smoke which has
0Verhung the city for two days mas
largely disappeared before brisk south
wind. There have been no great calam-
tiles in the region, but scores, if not
hundreds, Of homesteaders have lost all
they possessed, and the
Damage to Timber Has Been Enormous.
Competent and conservative men esti-
mate the standing pine over which the
fire has run at not less than 150, 1000, 900
feet. OF this about two thirds be-
longed to the Diamond Match company
and about one-sixth to the Nestor es-
tate. This timber is not all destroyed,
but the rest will have to be cut this year
to save it from worms. This fact has
already operated to raise wages Of ex-
perienced loggers about one-fourth, and
will make this season a very active one
in the woods.
Advices just received from Nestoria
report heavy rains there and westward.
This will materially check the forest
fires and in general put the whole dis
trict out of danger

Forest Fires Raging at Different Points in
the State.
BRADFORD, Pa, Sept. 4.-Forest fires
are raging all along the line of the Buff
falo, Rochester and Pittsburg railroad.
Reports from all points on the narrow
gauge roads state that the woods are on
fire for miles, and the damage will be
heavy unless rain should fall. The
woods along the pike to Corydon are
on fire for miles, and all the property in
the vicinity Of the west branch is
threatened. Should the fire spread to
the oil fields, serious consequences
would result. The woods along the
Bradford, Bordel and Kinzuer railroad
between here and Smithport are re-
ported on fire, and valuable property is
in danger of being destroyed.

Oil Wells Burning.

RUSSELL CITY, Pa, Sept. - Word
was received here at 1880 p. m. to the
effect that the forest fires have reached
the Watson farm in Forest county, and
several oil wells are now burning. The
loss will be heavy as there are large
number of wells on this farm, and it is
feared the fire will spread to adjoining
oil property. There are no indications
of rain, and should the wind rise it
would sweep the entire field.

Chicago Officials Much Worried Over the
Outlook.
CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-Reports from the
forest fires as they came into the
Northwestern and Wisconsin Central
railway headquarters were meager, but
showed fearful loss of life and destruc-
ton Of property The Northwestern
received word at 10 o'clock that heav-
lily loaded freight train had been aban-
doned Oh a burning bridge, but that the
crew had escaped. The Wisconsin Gen.
trail service was badly demoralized and
none of the reports received gave any
definite information regarding the loss
Of life.
The superintendent Of the Ashland
division of the Northwestern wired that
the fires were smouldering, but would
probably die out if no wind arose. A
high wind, he said,
Would Result in Fearful Havoc.
Wisconsin Central railway officials were
unable to get satisfactory reports from
the burnt district. The train service
was demoralized and telegraph wires
were down or working badly. Agents
at various points reported heavy loss Of
life and property but were unable to
give figures or estimates. The reports
showed that the fires were smouldering
and grave fears We're expressed that
fearful damage would ensue if the re-
gion should be visited by high wind.
The rain, the reports said, was not
heavy enough to extinguish the flames
which might break out at any time.
