FIFTEEN PERISH
Continued from first page.

There absolutely no chance to save the
women and children from the gondola car. The
time was too short. 1t will probably be a week
or more before it is known definitely how many
people persisted in the village OF Metz. The fire
had gained a foothold in-jthe town before the
train left. and in all probability many of the
citizens We're cremated"
Others stated that when the relief train left
Metz 1t carried all the inhabitants of the village
except George Cicero, the station agent, who
stayed to handle the railroad wire, and escaped
the station only to find his wife and three chill
dren burned to death in the wreck Of the relief
train. A fourth child, boy about eleven years
old had jumped from the burning and es-
capped with but slight injuries.
The first relief train from here reached the
crossing this forenoon and brought back the
bodies and those OF the refugees who wished TO
come here Some of them were so hysterical
from fright that they refused to ride the
train, fearing another accident.
BISHOP WAS REPORTED LOST
II was first reported that Bishop Charles D.
Williams. of Detroit, and the Rev. W. H. Bulk
lev were on the i'll fated train. They were to
have visited Hagensville a four mile drive east
of Metz yesterday, going to Onaway last even
ing AS the regular train north abandoned
at Alpena last night account of forest fires,
the only way Bishop Williams could get to
Onaway last night was by the relief train. But
the fires were so bad when the Bishop reached
Metz yesterday morning that he gave up the
drive to Hagensvle and went to Onaway.
Every building in Bolton was burned by the
forest fires except the church At CathTo half
a dozen houses and barns burned. This
evening the people are huddled together in the
Cathro church. The minister. the Rev. F. J.

aeronauts Hackstetter and Schroeder, almost

the start they journeyed overland for twelve
hours and then lost their bearings. Eventually
they discovered that they sailing over the
water The extreme cold affected the gas and
the balloon dropped into the sea on wednesday
night They kept themselves af1oat on the
wreckage for five hours before they were res

Berlin, Oct. 16.-The Plauen was one OF the
balloons which started from here in the endur-
ance test on Monday with twenty-elght other
competitors. The Hergesell, under command of
Lieutenant Foertsch. is the only one of these
unaccounted for. message from this balloon,
signed by she lieutenant was picked up near
Oster-Wanne in Hanover Province. It is be-
Iieved to have been written on Tuesday. 1t said:
"Hergesell: 8 a. m; height, 2100 metres. Df-
rection and place uncertain; probably near the
coast"
Meteorological observations show that the
wind at that time was blowing in the direction
of the sea- and it is certain that the Hergesell
was driven to the northwest, the direction taken
by most of the other contestants.
War vessels are still searching in the North
Sea. and all outgoing ships have been warned
to be the lockout. 1t is possible that the
two who assembled in the Hergesell may
have been rescued by some vessel. The escape
of other aercnauts during the last week is con-
sidered little short of miraculous. The Helvetia,
the Swiss representative; the Castillo, Spanish;
the Busley. German, and the St Louis. Ameri-

thrilling experiences, were picked up, not much
