strangers Ia town.
BosroN, September 3.-Labor's holi-

ing tho sentiment OF the toileIs regard
ing the situation.

work progressed slowly. Oh In the
corner of the clearing,


TWO SMALLER GRAVES
were being dug. Ore was Tor Mrs.
William Gristnger and her TWO oaey
girls, Caroline. aged six, ana Maoei'
aged three. The husband ana tather
had recognized them is the grisly heap,
and was hard at work preparing Tor
them q final resting place apart from
the trench destined for the undermined,
his labors dulling for time the acute
ness of the anguish. The other
grave was for the Best family,
whose members made their de-
structlon notable even in this time OF
death. John Best, Jr., was digging tue
pit with the friendly assistance OF Two
neighbors. Laid in a row, decently
covered, were the bodies Of John Best,
Sr.. Mrs. Best, Fred Best, aged %;
Bertha, aged II; Mrs.. Anna =. Wlegei'
married daughter, and her three-year-
old daughter Minnie; Mrs. Anna Trutt-
man, OF Diamond Bluff, Wis, visitor,
aged 90, and Victor Best, aged S. Two
other sons, George, aged 25, and Willie,
aged 21, are missing, and are certainly
dead. And OF this whole family OF
three generations only the sorroWing
gravedigger and his wife and child who
took refuge 10 dugous, are left. They
all lived together about two miles
southeast of Hinckley. The only others
of these ninety odd who were recog-
nized, were Charles Anderson, cashier
of the bank, and Mrs. VIM. Gnder and
her daughter, Winfred, aged six. One
or two others were imperfectiy identi-
fed, but it was largely guess work.
Enough rude boxes were knocked to-
gesher from rough boards to contain
most of these bodies, and they were
rapidly laid away under the sand, but
not before
OTHER BODIES BEGAN TO COME IN.
In the swamp across the Grindstone-
where these coTpses were found yester,
day, were about thirty-tve others.
which were brought in this morning,
making a total OF upwards OF 130 dead,
Tn this little space Of four or five
acres. Down near the river was found
the body of Thomas Dunn, the Duluth
operator at Hinckley. Dunn was born
and reared here aud was a universal
favorite. He stuck to his key until the
depot was burning ever his head. The
delay in locating his body led his
friends TO hope that he might have es-
capped, but this morning the finding OF
his blackened corpse put an end 10 all
uncertainty.

ST. PAUL, MINI, September "a
Pine City special to the Pioneer Press
says:
Words cannot tell the story Of death
and destruction that is revealed to the
traveller on the st. Paul and Duluth
from Mission Creek to two miles above
the little town of Miller or Sand
stone Junction. The awfulness of
the desolatlOn which strikes upon the
eye of the observer as he reaches the
camp which was once the town Of
Hinckley is still more strongly i'm
pressed on his vision as he journeys
northward.
The house of John Robinson was near
Skunk Lake in the edge of the woods,
and the family sought refuge in the
cellar. There was no escape from
the fire, and the party found the
bodies of John Robinson and
his wife, Mary Robinson, their
oldest daughter, aud two smaller
children. All the clothing was burned
from the bodies, but the victims had
evidently bsen suffocated before the
flames reached them. The hands Of
the Oldest daughter were appraised to-
gether in an attitude OF prayer.
Within six hundred yards of the spot
where Engineer Root stopped his train
Ia long trench, running from little
body, was found the par
TALLY clothed body of General
Passenger aud Freight Agent Otto
Rowley, Of the Duluth and Winnipeg
Railroad.
The latest verified reports Of the
numbe OF dead do not materially alter
the former estimates Ia fact that es-
innate is proving remarkably exact,
considering the confusion Of the first
day. The number Of dead at Hinckley
is placed at 200.
The figures are as follows: Hinckley,
200; Sandstone, 90; Miller 10; between
Skunk Lake and Miller, 12; Pokegama,
2S; in lumber camps and scattering, esti-
mate So Total, 364.
The first thought was to care for the
unfortunate people who bad lost every
thing they owned; the second was TO
restore the operation of through SER
vice between st. Paul and Duluth.
The first task is well under way,
and its completion is placed in the
hands of competent committees, the
railroad company at once set to work
upon the herculean task of opening its
line and at six o'clock tonight the line
was open from St. Paul to Duluth.

HINCKLEY. September 3.-The bust
est point at Hinckley at noon was the
Associated Press telegraph Office. 1t
was not much of an Office, but 1t suf-
feed to serve the public with the Asse-
ciated Press report, the only press re-
port sent out of Hinckley to-day. The
wires were brought down to burned
stump Of pole. A dry goods box near
by served as the operators desk.
A cracker box made him q seat. A
burned railroad spike held down the
COPY iE the brisk breeze. A rough
board, one end resting on top OF this
table and the other on a milk can, fur
nisbed the Associated Press correspond
ent his desk, and his seat was a beer
keg. Here, under these circumstan ees,
was prepared and sent out the story OF
tie day In this stricken town. Al occa-
sional shower blurred the copy but it
was rapidly fed TO the eager wire de-
spite the discomforts Of the occasion.

SCENES ABOUT SANDSTONE.

SANDSTONE. MINI, September a.
All that remains of what was once the
prosperous village OF Sandstone is the
small shack used by the Sandstone
Company for an Office, and this
would have met the fate of the other
buildings but for the fact that is was
located near the quarry and was missed
by the flames. Crowded into this build
ing aud the ferry house were over 200
people who had lost everything except
the clothing they wore. When be
ST. Paul and Duluth train which left
Duluth at o'clock arrived at
Miller's Junction, word was received
that the town of sandstone was entirely
burned and the people there were in
need OF immediate aid. A party Of the
relief committee was aboard the train
when il started with provisions TO look
after the destitute. Just before the
relief train came to the glowing Goals

PITrsBURG, PA, September 3.-The
friends and admirers OF the PittsburG
ball club we're to-day knocked all in a
heap when it was announced that Al C..
Buekenberger had been deposed from
the management Of the Pittsburg team
and Catcher Connie Mack placed in
charge Of she team for the time being.
Buckenberger was most certainly the
best manager the PittsbUrg club ever
had, in fact he was the only manager
ever seen here, and the clubs unex-
pseted action in turning him down has
caused the greatest excitement and In
dignatiOn here.
The only reason that the officials will
give Is that she team was not winning
and they thought by placing the CLUB IN
the hands OF u new man might cause
the winning of few games. The club,
however, promises TO pay Bucks salary
until the end Of the season. This they
are compelled TO DO anyway, according
80 the contract, so IL is said.
THE RELEASE OF BUCKENBERGER
sis bat an echo OF the release Of Glass
cock. Both have been sent adrift with
ouJ apparent cause, aud each was the
best In his position 70 De found. The
source from which the trouble comes Is
we'll known by those in the inside.
Buck has but one enemy 10 Pitts0urg
snd that Is w. c. Temple, ex-Presideut
OF the team. Temple has been knock
ing against Buck ever since be came TO
this city. He az different times par
TALLY made deals for players aud 10 ex-
change Beckley, Bauer and Smith for
Others. Buck and Temple have come
together several times, and at
last the manager has gotten the worst
OF IL. Mack was offered the position Of
maaager six weeks ago, but be refused
10 take iL Notice Of release was served
on the manager ten days ago, Buoken-
berger has been offered the position Of
manager Of the Electrical Pavilion now
being built Ia this city.

mile tramp out through the woods to
the north of town this morning, through
9 scene of dcsolstion which rarely falls
beneath the eye OF man. The
country is absolutely swept clean.
There is but one settlers
house standing within an unknown ra-
dius OF miles. 1t is that OF Mike Dean,
on the edge OF the river, three miles
east of town. 1t was new house and
very substantial. Dean and neighbor
fought tb1 fire until they had TO aban-
don hope. They got the women aud
children into the water. Covering
their heads with cloths kept
wet by dashing water over
them, and when the fire had passed
they came out unhurt and were much
surprised to find their buildings stand
ing, and this morning when the Asso-
ciated Press entered the clearing the
house dog barked as savagely and the
rooster crowed as Justify as If they had
not come within an ace OF death.

Relief Trains Bringing in the Destitute.
DULUTH. MINI, September S.-Early
to-day a relief train returned TO Duluth
bearing 227 survivors OF the burning OF
Sandstone. The survivors were Sc
cured and babes and small child
rem carried back over the six miles
of trail through the woods. One hun
dred and fifty people were left, and a
second train was sent out for them.
The party had to cross from Miller
Station, on she st. Paul and Duluth, to
Sandstone, six miles distant. Sixty
bodies were found in the lit
tie town scattered about every
where. No attempt has been made to
bury them and they are rotting in the
hot sun. One building is all that re-
mains at Pardridge. On the Eastern
Minnesota everything was burned, but
so far as can be learned only one life
was lost.
a mother was found in the yard with
her children clasped in her arms. Esti-
mates from conservative men who have
gone over the ground place the loss Of
life at anywhere from 500 to 1000.
About 1900 homeless people have been
brought to Duluth.

ble and then throwing water over each
others heads. Between forty aad fifty
bodies were scattered about the streets
burned to crisp. The relief committee
has paid but little attention to bodies,
as the living required immediate atten-
tion. The relief train took back about
PAS persons to Duluth for aid.

A Mite oS a Babe.

ESSEX, Conn.,, March 9.2The small- est baby yet reported was born in Kill ingsworth, village about eight miles west of this place. The parents are Swedes. The father is employed by a farmer cutting timber and weighs 190 pounds. The mother is stout, healthy woman, weighing, perhaps, 160 pounds. The babe is male. as perfectly formed as babe can be, and on it's birth it weighed only eight ounces. It's face is about the size of horse chestnut. A ring worn on the little finger of it's mother was easily slipped over its foot nearly up to the knee It is the opin- ion of the attending physician that the child will live. The child is so small that three of it's like could play hide and seek in a cigar box.
