A gentle ram is facing .to-dny and quenching the burning embers of the immense forest fires' that made scy much damage ill ' this citv Saturday afternoon andAight." The blackened ruins of two,fr three brick buildings ait all' thay remain standing of the once prosperous town of Hinckley, .vith its IfOO people, and its busy railroad fund 'lumbering interests. This is today a place of mourning, and th1 charred and unrecognized bodies vbf the htindreds of victims have jsaddened the survivors even -iuore,han the disaster itself. The fire was so overwhelming in i s immensity that none could in the first terror of the moment -realize jow great was their loss. Each was so inteut on saving his own life that i j..i ii. . i.t L ' utile iiijiiuub was mveii lo ii'e uis aster in general by nnwt, although many xBases of heroisni have been re ported. The bodies thus far recov ered have been placed in rough pine boxes for burial and the majority of them have been buried without there being any knowledge of their iden tity. IN THE PATH.

A GOJDSEND OF A RAIN. AsHLAND, Wis., Sept. 5. The ex I . . i ll i k ii 1 p i cltement Ielt a ASlliaiKI fur tne safety of northern Wisconsin towns was somewhat easy to-dayby reports of ra;n at nearly very locality where the fires have been wor-t. It has been a (jrodsend to this country. 1 he northern v isconsin towns that have I been burned areas follow: Beuoit, Polar, Mereugo, 'partially ; liihbride, partially: Ashland June tioo, scorched; City of Washburu, scorched; Bessemer, scorched, hi very pie, pi sutety. A number of box cars were coupled ou. and filled and covered with men women and children. In all. there was a motley crowd of about 450 or more people. The train pulled out just ahead of the fire and succeeded iu ultimately reaching Duluth. This circumstance while fortunate in a degree that cannot be estimated has made the confusion greater tor it is not kuowu who escapeu in uu- way, and many people are reported . dead wno may oe in saiety. nan not this number off people, largely iv wL iUv .lid ibp ln f.

There were scat tered through the woods settlers, clearings and lumber camps, with their watch, and manjr people Were undoubtedly burned, whose jqdies were completely destroyed and .will never be found. St, Paul, Minn., Sept. 3 A corres pondent of the Pioneer Pressr at Hinckley, says: V) The latest verified reports of the number of dead do not materially al ter the former estimates. In fact that estimate is proving remarkably exact, considering the confusion of the first day. One element that makes close figuring very difficult, is the fact that bodies seen in the woods and along the track are not infrequently report ed to two points and sent out from each as among its dead. Then, too, the tendency of the oc casion, bad as it is. is to exaggeration. Jlowever, eliminating these doubtful elements as far as possible, from its approximation, the Pioneer-Press is convinced that the total is as nearly exact as possible. The number of dead at Hinckley is placed at 200. The Pioueer-Press correspondent has actually counted 194 of these and the margin allowed is about all that is necessar'. The figures are as follows: Hinckley 200; Sandstone G2; Miller 12; between Skunk Lake and Miller 12; Poke Gama 28; in lumber camps and and scattering estimate 50. Total 364. Yard Mitster DaVid Williamson, of Duluth received a message from Mill er, Duluth last night which said: "There are 150 people at Sandstone without food or shelter. For God's sake get them out of there." Within an incredibly short time an engine in charge of Yard Master Williams was on the way to Sandstone. The entire road after the burned district was leached was patrolled and the engine kept up a continual w'histling, so that any persons who were near by would come at once to the track- When the train arrived at Sand stone Junction, or Miller, as it is gen erally called, it was met by nearly the entire population of Sandstone and Miller. The depot platform at Miller had been burned and there was not a house left standing anywhere in view About 170 people were taken aboard and a messenger was sent to Sandstone who informed people of arrival of the' of the train. Very few remained but those -with loved ones lying dead There was no attempt to care for the dead who lay scattered with irregular ity through the streets of the- town Everything inflammable at Sandstone was destroyed and to-day's investiga tions brought the number dead at that place ap to 62, with 21 missiug. The scene at Sandstone was heart-rending. The streets of the town were only lines of sand bet ween heaps of ashes. With in these lines lay 40 bodies, scattered at random, and 22 more were found dead in the outskirts of the town and in the hollows and marshes toward the river bank. The bodies were lying.ex- ing exposed to the sun and rain alike, and were rapidly becoming decom posed. They were identified as far as possible and will be buried to.morrow. SICKENING TALES. Pine City, Mich., Sept. 3. When the forest fire reached II ink ley, an eastern Minnesota train nom tne bers of persons are missing, but it is known that there were many ave nues of escape open to them and they are believed to be in safety at some point. It will take several days to get the exact details. The numerous clearings and small Iak"s are being utilized by refugees and a great number are packed up along the railroad.-. Arrivals from Glidden tonight say that, the city is out of danger and confirm the statement that the reports were the result of the nervousness of the operator at that place. It has been discovered that incen diaries are at work completing the destruction of the flames. They aroused great indignation. Firemen's Tournament. . WJnston Sentinel August 31.

The first prfze " was a nickel-plated nozzle, the gift of a New York manu facturing company, and the second a fireman's nickel-plated lantern, pre sented hy auother New York company.
