GREAT PART OF MICHIGAN
ON FIRE.
A Dozen Counties Filled with
Fire Trains Abandoned to the
Flames Piles of AHlieH Where
Towns Once Stood.
Detroit, Mich., May 13. Tlie hoped
for security from the rectnt rnin did not
materialize for the panic stricken inhabi
tants of the burned district of this stnte,
Some idea of the vastness of the fire dis
trict can be gained from the fact that al
most any two sf the dozen counties now
tilled with fire is as large as the state of
Rhode Island.
The Toledo, Ann Arbor and Northern
Michigan railroad iiave been obliged to
abandon all attempts to run cars north of
i ne uare county line. Freight trains and
the crew had a narrow escape from cre
mation yesterday, for the ties in many
places were so badly burned that the
rans spread wnen the tram went
over. When near Moore's siding one of
the cars in the middle of the train was
derailed and the train crew were obliged
to abandon the rear portion ot the train
after working until the cars began to
smoke. Heforc reaching I'arwell there
was another derailment an J all but three
out ot a train oi eighteen cars were left
to their fate. Three of the trainmen
were badly blustered.
The winds drove the fire into Newayge,
Mecosta and Oceana counties. Cook's
Station and Barton, both in line of the
fire, have not been heard from and are
supposed to be destroyed. West Troy is
uppnsea to oc in nsnrs. Keports Irom
Cadillac. Wexford countv. state thnt
the inhabitants of all the villages in the
county nave been out lighting fire
for the past three da vs. and mnnv of the
smaller places are wiped off the face of

on the Flint and Cere Marquette roud,
unci stood there is nothing now but piles
of ashes. Millions upon millions of logs
are burning all over the center of the
state.

THE SOLDIERS' HOME.
Opened at Raleigh by Gov.
and Others.
Holt
Raleigh, N.C., Mayl3.-The exercises
here Monday in honor of Confederate
Memorial dav and of the opening of the
Soldiers' Home were unusually interest
ing. Business was suspended: The me
morial exercises were held nt Metropoli
tan hall, where General William R. Cox
delivered an address upon the life and
military services of General Stenhen D.
Rnmseur. The widow and daughter of
uenerai Knmseur and his sister, Mrs.
David Schenck, were present and a por
trait of the gallunt officer was on the
stage.
At the conclusion of these ceremonies
a procession was formed, in which were
military from Raleigh and Oxford, and
moved to the Soldiers' Home. Then Mr.
F. H. Busbee introduced Gov. Holt, who
officially opened the Home.
Gov. Holt's speech concluded as fol
lows: "We do no violence to the restored
union of these states when we honor the
soldier of the confederacy. He followed
the standard of his state. Todav the
standard of the union is the standard of
tne state, and the stars and stripes can
be home in no safer hands than in
loyal grasp.
"Welcome, prond citizen, to vourhame,
and when the stranger pausing at vour
threshold asks you of your fertile fields
say: 'I was a soldier of the confedera
cy. 1 lollowed where duty called.' Wel
come, thrice welcome, honored guests,
and from the hem of your garments may
the virtue oi patriotism and devotion to
your state go forth into the lives of all
our people."
At the conclusion of this address the
state flag was hoisted. The procession
then made its way to the confederate
cemetery, where the graves were decor
ated. CURRENCY OF THE COUNTRY.
Is It Controlled Ily a Few Men, as
Col. Polk Says 7
From the News and Observer.
Kcicrnng to remarks ol col rolls we
take occasion to say that there are some
things stated that are hard to compre
hend. For instance, the claim that
the currency of the country is con
trolled by a few men." In
Texas the people ha vc on deposit $30,000
001) in their local banks. Those tieo-
ple control that. In Louisiana the
cople have on deposit $18,000,000, nud
they control thnt. In Kansas thev have
in deposit $17,000,000 and thev con
trol that. In Minnesota thev have on
lep'isit $U7,000,000, and thev control
that; and an equal amount in Iowa: and
so on more or less in all the slates. At the
east, where there arc savings banks,
rly every family has money on dc-
nisit, which they control. II they want
1, all they have to do is to ask for it.

Cbns. E. Bolton's Second Lecture
al the ChrlHtian Church.
There was a very fair audience at the
Christian church last night to witness
the second lecture of Charles B. Bolton.
The subject was "The land of the mid
night sun." The lecturer took the audi
ence on a long tour and the lecture was
brimlul ot interest to all present. The
llustrations were magnificent, and everv
one enjoyed the evening's entertainment
to the greatest extent.
1 lie sulnect ot Mr. Bolton s lecture to
night is "Reunited Germany, and Heroic
Louise." 1 his is Mr. Bolton 8 last cntcr-
ainmcnt before lenving for Danville. Ya.
l'he lecturer promises his best this even

Prom the Chicago Herald.
Mr. Dukes, a wealthy plauter near
Amcricus, Ga., is on trial by his church
for resisting the will of God. 11c has
committed the impious act tit erecting a
ightning rod on the topof his new house.
The parson and the members of the
church to which he belongs regard this
action in the light of a wicked opposition
to divine providence, wnose intentions
concerning the Duke mansion are not to
be thwurted by any vain devises
ol man. They have urged him with
Icrvid praveis and exhortations to take
lown ilis unholy lightuing rod, but he-
has peristentlv refused, and in conse
quence of his impious stubborness he has
been brought bclorc his church lor trial.
Science declares, to be sure, that bis rod
offered no resistance to lightning what
ever, but he put it up believing that it did,
and the church will doubtless punish him

THE CHARLESTON ON HER
TRAIL NOW.
If the Chilian Boat Puts Into a
Nf utral Port the United States
Can Only Stand by aud Whistle,
San Diego, Cal., May 13. Passengers
on the steamer Crescent City, which ar
rived at Cedras Island last night, report
that when about ten miles below Ensu
ada Monday night the cruiser Charlts-
ton was sighted far out to sea. As soon
as the officers on the war ship caught
sight of the Crescent city they made di
rectly for her. As soomus the cruiser ap
prouched the captain of the Crescent
City raised the American flag and salu
ted. The Charleston immediately turned
at right angles and steamed away to the
southwest and soon disappeared beyond
me uonzou.
v-rcseeni city olticers renort seeinc
nothing of the Itata.
6an 1'Rancisco, May 13. The Call has
an interview with A. K. Coney, the
Mexican Lonsul General at this pert, in
regard to the probable action of the
Mexican government if the Itata enters
the port of Aeapulco. He savs that
Acapulco is a neutral Dart and he' is con-
uiient tne Charleston will not be per
mitted to seize the Itata there, but if the
Itata enters there with contraband goods
on uoara it is probable the Mexican
officers will train the guns of the fort on
ner and seize her themselves. The tort is
not a very powerful one, but is strong
cnougu to capture tlie itata.
