North Adams, Mass, Sept. 10.-On
the Fitchburg road last evening, In
the Hoosac tunnel, short distance
east Of the central shaft, occurred q
rear-end collision between east-bound
trains. A freight train had stopped to
repair an engine which had broken

bound train passed through the tunnel,
filling it with smoke. A second cast
bound freight train was allowed to
enter the tunnel, contrary to the rules
of the road, and the engineer being
unable, on account of the dense smoke
left by the passenger train, to distin-
guish the lights from the train from
the lights on the walls of the tunnel,
went into it with a crash. A horrible
disaster was the result, both trains be-
ing badly wrecked. The tunnel was
bloclIaded and two men killed outright
and three were seriously injured. The
killed are William Turpening, brake

An AnneaI Issued.

st. Paul, Sept. 10.-The state relief
commission has issued an address to
the people of Minnesota, in which 1t
tells of the work of relief thus far car
ried on. The address concludes as fol.
lows:
1.-THE fire sufferers may be classed as
follows:
"First-Sirgle men who need only an
outfit Of clothing and perhaps little
money to enable them to look for work
Second - Small farmers, most OF
whom have bought forty to 120 acres
Of land on contract, on which they have
paid a small amount. Most of these
people want to go back on the land
There are probably $50 of these farm.
ers
"Third-ViIlagers of Hinckley and
Sandstone Scme of these people want
to return at orce; others may have to
seek new homes if the industries at
those places are rot resumed.
"Fourth-Widows with small chill
dren who ought to locate in the smaller
towns Of the state.
THE sufferers by this fire are an ex.
cellent class Of people, and they repre-
sent fairly the people of the state.
Their requests are moderate, but the
commission finds that a very large
amount OF money, building material
and supplies will be needed to provide
seed and food for the stock.
"While contributions Of material are
acceptable, the commission would re,
mind tn pc ople of the state that money
is the most portable and useful con.
tribution possible. A large proportion
of the people are farmers They must
be fitted out with houses, farming i'm
plements and supplies until they can
raise crop, and this will require a
large amount Of money. We appeal
therefore, to all towns and municipali.
ties to give to the extent Of their abili.
ty. The cen mission wishes to ac-
knowledge the magnificent liberality Of
the contributions already reported, and
it will endeavor to use every dollar en-.
trusted to it to the best possible pur.
pose.
"Cast: contributions should be sent
direct to Kenneth Clark, treasurer, st.
Paul. Those having supplies will noti.
fy him. and he will send instructions
as to shipment. The commission has
designated it's secretary. HI. II. Fart, to
represent it in general execution of
the work. Communications not relat,
ing to contributions should be ad,
dressed to III. III. Hart, Pine City. The

st. Paul, Sept. S.-The survivors of
The Sixth Minnesota volunteers, who
fought so bravely at Birch Coulie and
Wood Lake for the preservation OF
Minnesota and its defenseless homes
In the Sioux outbreak of 1862, held
their second annual reunion I'm St Paul
yesterday, with hundred or more In
attendance. The different companies
first got together and transacted what
little business they had, electing Of
1icers for the following year. Col. Will
lam Crooks, who was in command of
the Sixth, presided, and Capt. Stees,
secretary Of the organization, sat by
his side.
AS expected, the veterans got into
very warm fight over the location Of
the Birch Coulie monument. Capt.
Stees introduced resolution calling for
the appointment of committee to
wait upon the next legislature with a
protest against the location. Capt.
Stees said he did not care what name
was inscribed on the monument as the
commanding officer but he did object
to the shaft being placed on the Morton
fair grounds. The state, he said, had
appropriated money to purchase mon
umcnt to make the spot where the men
had fought and fell, and not to beautify
fair grounds. After some further talk
a vote was taken and the resolution
was adopted on q vote Of AZ to %.
Other resolutions were passed favoring

Pine City, Mimi, Sept 10.-Yesterday
was an eventful one in Pine City. All
day long murl<y haze hung over the

filled the people with anxious, nervous
unrest. About noon a strong west gale
set in, driving before it smoke, dust
and cinders from the burning forests,
entirely shutting out the sunlight, leav,
ing only cold, threatening glare on
the portentious clouds. The people
here strongly anticipated another
Hinekley horror, and notwithstanding
the fact that cool heads and calcu,
lating minds tried to reassure, the anz.
iety and excitement rose to fever heat.

Soaking Rains Are Falling.

Milwaukee, Sept. S.-The remarkable
drouth throughout the West, which
lasted for more than two months, was
effectually broken last night by a
furious rainfall The rain area inciud-
ed all of Iowa, the northern part of
Illinois, most of Michigan and nearly
all Of Wisconsin, except the north
western part. Besides that there were
isolated smaller rain areas in the far
West. Above the line of Green Bay
the rainfall was very light, and none
ut all was reported from st. Paul and
Duluth. 1t is feared that the forest
fire region received very little of the
rain, but the conditions are favorable
for continuance Of the rain, and that
region may get soaking tonight.

Escapes.


Hinckley, Mimi, Sept 10. - Dis
patches received Mt Hlnckley from
Mora yesterday afternoon stated that
fire drove the people from the town
onto the island in Lake Mora, where
they were forced to remain for two
hours. Groundhouse people who had
gone to Mora for safety were also
sheltered on the island, which was
burned over the day after the great
IIinckley fire to afford protection In
case of fire. The operator left his key
anu commr nication was cut off. A
change In the wind saved the town.
Sparks from the fire were flying on the
principle business streets when the
people left their homes.
At Barnum the fire was occasioned
by a great forest tire being driven to
s. s. Johnson's lumber yard and the
main portion OF the town, but fortune
favored it by change in the wind. A
desperate fight was made in botll
places to save property. Every pre-
caution was taken to prevent the loss
of life. The scuth-bound limited was
held at ca rlton aud Barnum. 1t was
dangerous to proceed until after two
hours delay. A change in the direction
of the wind not only saved Mora, but

ened. The whole populace gathered on

Of bedding, others satisfying them

was turned loose and several horses
brought out on narrow strip Of land
running out into the lake. About

west, driving the smoke back again.
Later advices from Ground House state
that the danger Is over. No reports
have come in at this writing of any bad
