sr.vKiut. vii.r.Aoics n\'Ki. R)L-.LK'HT. Mich.. Muy 11. —A lire raged in the upper central counties of the lower peninsula Saturday tne like of which has never been known The line of llames reaelmU almost without ft lire a 1 from MlT^on conntv, oil I.aky Michigan, to Iosco countv, on Lake Huron, with the forests of Luke, Osceola, Claire, Oladwin, Ogemaw and AI la, where (ien. Alger owns large interests, all ablaze. Another tire of scarcely less magnitude exis'.s in tin: lower peninsula. The incline of the Duluth, South Shore &

Atlantic railroad through Marquette, Houghton, liaragaand Ontonagon counties is in the path of the Haines. Two railroad bridges have already gone on that line, and the telegraph lines are in bad shape. Fears are ontertained that the. lire will reach the town of Meredith, in Clay county. Friday night, the llames swept, into Oscoda and burned out $'JOO,OOU worth of property. Two houses and T.OOU.tlUO feet of lumber were burned. Ciivat apprehension is felt at An Sable. An appeal for help has been sent to Alpena. It is feared that the city will be swept away if the wind shifts. Millions of aorcs of pine are burning. Additional reports now coming in show that a wide district is devastated.

Ueports from Marquette say that forest fires are burning all over the copper country. At the Osceola stamp mill several cords of wood and the railroad trestle were' burned at Chassell several farm-houses ami barns went up ill smoke and a bridge was consumed. The Thomas Nestor estate and Diamond Match Company lose heavily. Lake Superior from Marquette. to Keweenaw point is fairly black with smoke, and the fog whistles are kept, blowing constantly. The loss will be very heavy. At Tawas, on the west shore, for two days past the air has been thick with smoke from the immense forest fires which are raging in the woods back of the town, and which arc said to extend clear to the county line. The village of Taft. in lb-no township, is said to le surrounded by fire, but no word can be obtained from there. Ishpeming is surrounded by fire, but there is no danger of the town. There is mile after mile of lire along the roadbed of the Chicago it Northwestern railroad south of Islipeining and nearly to Kscanaba.

Telegraph poles and railroad ties are being destroyed and communication is likely to be cut off at any time. .Nothing but a drenching rain of two days' duration can prevent tremendous damage.

A special received from Ludington on the Lake Michigan shore says that four townships in the county—Froesoil, Sherman, Ilrancli and Custer—are all on lire, and while there is but. little danger of the towns themselves falling in the tlaine, the farmers in the outskirts are Hying to the towns for safety, anandoiimg everything. Along the entire line of the Flint. & l'ere Marquette railroad from Ludington to Laldwin. an hours run, there is lv here and there a spot that is not now burning, while ill nianv places the trains are forced to run at full speed to prevent the cars catching tire. Kditor Marsh, of Ludington. estimates the damage in the count at -l..u(l(l to houses and buildings. to sav nothing of the acres of pme burned.

A special from Kvart. in the southern center of Osceola countv. slates that a belt of lire extends clear through the county to the north, and fears are entertained for the safety of llart.vick. Milbnrn and Dighton which arc oil the railroad and center of a heavily wooded district Nothing has been heard from the latter place since Ihursdav and nothing from the other two since Friday morning. Specials from Harrison, the countv seat of I lare county, sav that is rumored that Meredith, 10 miles to the northeast, is destroyed. Another special Irom lare, HI the same I count v. corroborates the information, but oilers no details ol the burning of! the town. (iladwin. the county sent of the. county of the same name, sends information that the entire vis Mar.ies can stop the or probably save the little township of lint man ill the northeast corner of the county. No news has been re- I ecivcd from I liner or Standisli. the two principal towns Arenac county, except from the railroad olhcuils, I who sav their line of track is in the center of a lire section. To the northeast, is the county of Ogemaw, known to be burning tici-cclv. and also Oscoda countv. from which no information lia.s been received, but it IS supposed to be on lire, as the two counties on eiuier side of if are in llames.

north part of the conn* I county and no human means spread of the llames

Kacli additional report from the region of the forest lires shows that the damage instead of being exaggerated has been underestimated. Word reached here that, the little hamlet of Wailtervllle. Oceana countv. was wiped out .Siiturdav--a hotel, livcrv stable, postolllce. four stores, three saloons and a

large amount of dwellings. I*ive bun- I bottle on bin dred thousand feet of hardwood logs also burned. Morelcv. Mecosta countv, telegraphed that Allouu. a small village 10 nnies from there, was in ashes. Clinton, a small station on the 'loledo Ann Arbor »v North Michigan railroad, was wiped out Saturday afternoon. Wagner A*. Pierce had J.000,000 feet of logs and Hyde Ilros. 1,000,000 feet burned. 1- arwoll burned Saturday with all the houses in tho settlement.

fury during the last week continue to cause great damage to property and threaten the destruction of towns and villages in their path. The loss for the twenty-four hours ending at 6 o'clock Sunday has been greater Mian for any corresponding period of time in the month. The country round about is very dry. and in Saginaw last week the record of lires was remarkably large and the lire department has been on 'duty almost constantly. The territory covered by the forest Jires extends from the Saginaw river to the Straits of Mackinaw on the north and to Lake

Michigan on the west. On the line of and adjacent to the Mackinaw division of the Michigan Central and western division of the Flint .V l'ere Marquette the destruction of property has been greatest. Whole sections of standing timber have been burned over, amtinillioiis of feet of logs reaily for the rivers were reduced to huge, piles of aslies. At ISatchelor Saturday night 1,0111),000 feet of lumber. 1.000,000 shingles anil 1,100 feet of railroad track were burned. The people of the town had to form a volunteer lire brigade to prevent the destruction of their homes.

A bridge on the Monstcller branch of the Flint it l'ere Marquette road burned early Sunday morning, cutting off travel entirely, and it is impossible to traverse the Stearns b'anch bocause of the dense smoke and danger to trains. On a number of the branches which connect the interior of northern Michigan with the more populous seetions.comniunieation is wholly suspended. Martin's mill, on the Allen and Manion blanch near Harrison, I'ringle's mill and lumber yard, on theM aloney branch southwest of Farwell, and the Flint and l'ere Marquette road engine house at Heed City all burned Sunday. The, latest advices from Clare Lake, Kvart, Ilosc.immon,

Frederick. West P.rancli, (Iladwin, Farwell. Custer, Manistee and (Irayling show that tires are raging fiercely in the vicinity of those places.

WISCONSIN FILTKS CIII: liivn JTY IIAIN. IMII.WAI'KKK. May 11. lb-ports from northern Wisconsin are that heavy rains have checked the forest fires in many localities. The principal damage has been to standing timber. Three miles from Florence the logging out tit run by Ludington, Van Schaick ,v Co. were burned The Ashland Iron .t Steel Company lost 50,000 cords of wood at High Kridge. The Wisconsin Central trains were stopped in the Gogebic range by the burning of the bridge. Dispatches from Hayfield say that trains on the Omaha are delayed at Drummond by burning bridges. The smoke from the forests hangs like a dense fog over the towns and adds to the apprehensions of the inhabitants. Fierce tire ing in Shawano county
