There was little or no breeze and the heat was oppressive. Workmen did not in any instance reported quit work, but everywhere they had to proceed slowly. The farmers find themselves hard pressed with work. The intense heat, with occasional thunderstorms, is ripening grain rapidly. The oats harvest has commenced before one-half of the hay has been eared for. Help is reported scarce. Reports have been received from country districts that cattle in the pastures have in some instances been overcome by heat. Slow progress is everywhere being made in harvest fields on account of the inability of horses to stand the strain of the weather. One fatal ease of sunstroke is reported from Davenport.

I'A n: OK HAY CITY.

BAY CITY, Mich., July 2fi.- I'ire played sad havoc here Mondav. It started in the sawmill of Miller & Turner at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. At the time the tire broke out the wind was blowing a gale from the southwest, und in less than thirty minutes the entire mill was one mass of tlaines. The fire department responded promptly, but was powerless to combat against the (lames, which spread rapidly, leaping across Water street to the hardware store ol Stover A. Larkin and the grocery ol Richardson Nash From there it spread In every direction, wiping out dwelling house after dwelling house before the inmates could remove then wearing apparel. The streets were filled all afternoon with men. women and children carrying articles from burning houses.

Three llimdrctl Dwellings Consumed. Over TOO dwelling houses, sawmills, etc., have been consumed. The Saginaw fire department sent what hose and engines it cov.ld spare, and fought the fire on the south with good effect. At S o'clock p. m. the lire had reached Broadway and looked as If it would gc across to Fraser. The wind had abated a little and the firemen's work began to tell. One hundred families arc without homes and are being sheltered by friends.

Burned Like Tinder.

The east side of Water street where the fire crossed was built up with stores, hotels and residences. Nearly nil the buildings were built of wood nnd burned like tinder. The wind increased as the flames progressed and in an hour the fire had consumed Millet &, Turner's entire plant, comprising a sawmill, sait blocks, drv-kilns and a large quantity of lumber.

The tlaines had also traveled three blocks to the eastward, cutting a swath two blocks wide. At this point the. path of the conflagration broadened and block after block was swept ovei with astonishing rapidity. Al r, o'clock about thirty blocks had been burned over, while twenty more were supplying fresh fuel to the devouring element. llelp from Other Cities.

When the chief of the lire department first realized the extent of the dangei he telegraphed to Saginaw! Flint and Detroit for assistance. Saginaw and Flint responded, each sending an enging and quantity of hose. Nearly all of Bay City's apparatus came to the scene of the disaster and lent such assistance as lay in the power of the. firemen. But with hundreds of streams playing on the lire the flames pursued their course, licking up house after house, until at 8 o'clock upward of 300 dwellings had .been destroyed and the conflagration wns still sweeping toward the eastern limits of the city. While the majority of buildings burned belonged to working people, many tine residences have been consumed. Two churches, four hotels and about forty stores of all varieties are included among the structures which have contributed fuel to the flames.

One Woman nurncd Alive. At p. m. many rumors were afloat concerning people who have perished. So far as is positively known only oni: death has occurred, that of a woman, whose name was Mrs. Mason. She lay sick in one of the houses which was destroyed. Before assistance could reach her the dwelling was a seething mass of fire, and the ptior creature hat! to be left to her fate. It is alsc reported that her two eliildrcn were burned to death, but the story lacks confirmation. Miller & Turner, or whose premises the fire started, lost about $1 HO.000, mostly covered by insurance. The tlaines were so intensely hot that they set fire, to adjoining buildings and the department sceincii entirely helpless until the wind went down and the tlaines ceased to spread.

A Scene of Desolution.

The burned territory presents a scene of desolation from Broadway to the river, and from Twenty-Ninth to Thir-ty-Second is sea of molten fire. Here aud there, are chimneys standing specter-like in the midst of the dying embers. Acres of slabs are burninp brightly nnd illuminate the scene. Ir the public park are 000 men, women and children who have been deprivei of their homes by the devouring element. At a special meeting of the common council steps were taken fot the immediate relic! of the 200 families who have been burned out. t'lre Under Control. 2:30 a. m.—By midnight the fire was under control, but at, this liotit it is still burning. Owing to the lateness of the hour and the great confusion and excitement consequent upor. the tire it is Impossible lo state correctly the amount of the damage caused. It is, however, estimated anywhera from $1,UU0,0J0 to 81,500,000.

Wiir.r.i.iN-o, W. Va., July 20.—The severe storm which passed over this portion of the country Sunday night was more disastrous in its results than was at first thought. It is now known that there wns considerable loss of life besides some destruction of propert bv lightning. At Long itun. in Marshall county, a few miles south of Wheeling, an entire family of nine persons is reported to have been swept from the face of the earth by a sudden flood following a cloudburst. The family consisted of William I)oty and wife, their three children, Duty's father and mother, Mrs. Dotv's mother and a servant girl. The house was situated in a ravine nnd was swept away by the torrent, not one of the sleeping occupants being left to tell the tale. The first known of the disaster was the finding the body of the servant girl Monday morning in the yard of a neighbor some distance below where the fated house stood. It is also reported that the bodies of Doty and the children have been found at the mouth of tho creek which empties into the Ohio river. Another house was swept awny by the same torrent, hut all the occupants are believed to have escaped.

PAitKF.itsni'HO, W. V., July 20.—A terrific hurricane burst over this city at .":45 Monday afternoon nnd lasted nearly an hour. It came from a northwesterly direction, and Weather Observer Dent at this point says that the wind traveled at the rate of :tii miles per hour.

Two il

It is hard at this hour to estimate the loss, though it is safe it will approximate SI A, 000 to 520,000. The wheat stacks were also burned. Telephone wires were blown down und the rooi of the democratic wigwatn was seriously damaged. Reports are meager from the country but immense damage is Inevitable.

Trees in every part of the city were torn out by the roots and spread across the streets.

The storm was equally severe through out the country and the reported loss heavy. There were no fatalities in tin ctty although in several instances the escapes were narrow. Another storm less severe came later in the evening. The financial loss will be heavy.
