 Tn some instances only one or two men escapod from a nedghborhood to tell of tho destruction. They saved their lives by running to . small lake or hidiuw in potato fields The dead are being picked up by the score and brought hera Searching parties are penetrating the burning district, but find only the charred remains of the inhab- itants.

 Rev. P. Knudson, Presbyterian minister of Hinkley, tells graphic story of the fro which swept down on the town. He says over 200 of those who perished in the flames might have been saved had they kept away from the river. The people lost their heads and stampeded trying to escape by teams and saddle horses. Knudson took hill top, and when the fire passed over found himself in a charred desert. surrounded by hundreds of dead, while those who survived were far from help and with nothing to eat or drink
 At Hinkley the bodies are being piled in the graveyard and will be buried as soon as possible Every effort is made to identify the dead bodies.

THE RIvaL WINS THE REGATTA.
The Thirteenth Annual Fall Regatta of the
 New Haven Yacht Club.

The thirteenth annual regatta of the New Haven Yacht club was sailed over the usual twenty miles course last Sat urday and was one of the most success full and enjoyable regattas ever sailed by the club. This, however. Is about the closing event In yachting circles at this port. and the greater part of the boats will soon be hauled up for the winter. Ten boats started over the course and all sailed over the course except one. This was considered an exceptionally good showing for so late in the season.
 All was hustle and agitation at the yacht club house from 10 to II o'clock. The yachts were lying out at some dis tance preparatory for the start down the harbor. Small boats and skiffs were continually putting out loaded with various things to contribute to the ease and comfort of those who were to watch the racing from the yachts themselves. Naptha launches were darting here and there bearing the offi- cers, who were giving orders and mak- ing the final preparations for the race.
 The yachts sailed down the harbor about II o'clock and were slowly fol- lowed by the steam tug Richard w. Law, which had been chartered for tl t.,,, J ha Nl,t n a who wished to enjoy the racing.
 When the preparatory gun was fired from F. c. Fowler's elegant steam yacht Silva, which had the judges on board, the whistles up in the city were blowing for noon. The Rival had the lead all the way. She rounded the buoy at the mouth of the Housatonic river at 2:5O p. m. and was soon speed ing on her way back. The Carrie w. rounded the buoy at 3:53:49, and the Pilgrim at 3:54:1S. The Rival crossed hour ahead of the others, thus winning the, Rival challenge cup.
 After the boats got into their moor ings and the shippers met at the club house they were presented with the prizes they had won. The boats that won prizes were the Pilgrim, Rival, Thalia and Ellen E. Commodore Hol- comb, Fleet Surgeon Hawkes. and J. N. Macauley officiated as judges, to the complete satisfaction of all, as did also Frank w. Guion and Edward s. Os- born as timekeepers.

She Struggled Hard to Save Her Life and
 That of Her Baby.
 Minneapolis, Sept. 2.-The first train over the St. Paul and Minneapolis road from the burned district near Hinkley reached Minneapolis at 12:45 this after noon. There were a dozen persons on board, including Mrs. Lawrence, the only one of the passengers on the limit ed which started Saturday afternoon from Duluth who has yet reached Min neapolis. The other passengers were those who went up on the limited yes- terday afternoon from this end of the line and finding they could go no fur ther stopped at Pine City and returned to Minneapolis on the first train.
 Mrs. Lawrence says the first evidence of the fire was noticeable about ten miles north of Hinkley, when the air became almost suffocating One mile north of Hinkley number of persons, Mrs. Lawrence estimates the number at fifty, rushed toward the train, scream ing frantically. The engineer, seeing the danger they were in if they remain ed, stopped the train to let them on board. The heat became intense. and the whole volcano of fire seemed to burst out in a mighty effort to wipe the train and its occupants off the face of the earth. Mrs. Lawrence, describ- ing the scene, said:
 At the first rush of the flames to- ward the cars the window panes went out with 8 crash and the train began slowly to return toward Skunk Lake. People screamed and men jumped through the car windows. The panic was horrible Every fear-crazed per- son was for himself and did not care how he got out of the rushing avalanche of flames. My dress caught fire, but sxtinguished the flames. I saw two Chinamen. They were paralyzed by fright and made no effort to get away. but simply hid their heads under the seats and were burned to death, II stood 1t as long as could and then rushed out of the car, jumping over one or two persons that were lying on tho ground injured. Some of the peo- pie jumped into Skunk Lake, but I simply ran along the ties the fire had burned away. and after running until my strength gave out fell down be- tween the rails. expected every min- ute my dress would be burned from my body. I put out flames from my dress half a dozen times and had to hold my hands over the baby's face to keep 1t from sufcocating." E
 This morning Mrs. Lawrence was picked up in the middle of the track about two miles north of Hinkley by a relief party from Duluth which made the trip on hand car.
 The site of Hinkley, says Mrs. Law renee, Is nothing but a blackened waste

TRIED TO BURN HIS WIFE.
PETER POOLE SEf FIRE TO 4 BED
 ON WHICH SHE UAS LYING.

Angry Because She Would Not Cook
 Meal for Him at O'clock 4. M.-Brokc
 Open Doors and Threw His Lighted Pipe
 and Match at Her.
 Early yesterday morning George street. between Orange and Meadow streets. was the scene of a family fight. during the course of which woman was badly beaten and an in- cipient fire was started in room at sS George street. occupied by Peter Toole and his wife, About o'clock the neigh bors were aroused by cries of Murder! Fire. Police" and several of them rush. ed out into the street intent upon dis covering the source from whence such alarming cries came at such an hour.
 After a brief investigation 1t was as- certained that the cries came from room at 9S George street occupied by Peter Toole and his wife, the former being well known to the police. The first floor of the building is occupied by Herman Silva, where he keeps a second hand clothing store. About o'clock he was aroused by crashing of glass and a woman's screams. Hastily don ming his clothing he rushed up stairs to the apartments occupied by Toole and his wife, and soon found full fledged fight in progress.
 Toole is we'll known to the police, and he and his wife have not lived happily together for some time. Saturday night he arrived home in the i've sma' !" hours and found the door closed against him he immediately started in to break it down. Everyone in the apart ments was asleep at the time Inside the apartments there is another door leading into his wife's room. Both doors were broken in and he finally wife was lying in bed, but not asleep she having been awakened by the noise of breaking glass and crashing timbers
 Toole instantly demanded that his wife should get up, dress herself and get him something to eat She refused, at the same time telling him to get out of the house or she would call the po- lice. Her refusal to comply with his orders still further incensed him, and he threatened that unless she did as he told her he would cremate her alive. At the same time he threw his lighted pipe at the bed on which she was ly- ing, and applied burning match to the mattress.
 The mattress commenced to burn like so much finder, and simultaneously Mrs. Toole began to call Murder! Police! Fire!" Her screams aroused MT. Silva, who, after ascertaining what the trou- ble was, secured a pail of water and promptly extinguished the flames, but not until hole had been burned in the mattress as large as a football After extinguishing the fire MT. Silva ran out into the street and found Patrolman Cooper, whom he took to the house. where Toole was placed under arrest, and later locked up at police headquar- ters charged with breach of the peace.
 Toole was recently tried in the city court on charge of breach of the peace against his wife and sentenced by Judge Callahan to six months in jail After his commitment Mrs. Toole went to State Attorney Doolittle and pleaded so piteously for him that he was re- leased. Now she says she will endeavor to secure his commitment for at least that length of time.
