the range about 8,000
people homeless, many
of
them without
food or clothing. The fire is still burning furiously in the forests and all about the towns that arc left, but unless the wind changes they arc not
danger. Duiuth will care for
due
in
all the
sufferers. It has been decided not to appeal tor outside aid. Mining Camps Suffer.
Small fires are burning all along the range still and a change of wind will oause more damage, but tho danger is not imminent. THO mining companies suffered heavily. The camps at the plants
of the following
mines were either entirely or partially destroyed Shaw, Commodore, Franklin, Jones, Mesaba, Mountain, Ohio, Rouchleau, Burke and New England. The Minnewos mine escaped and the Wyoming has not been, heard from.
Tho Losses.
Tho total loss as nearly as it can be estimated is in tho neighborhood of (1,100,000. The Insurance will not exceed (400,000 and may fall short of that sum. Tho losers are so scattered and everything is in such confusion that no details of loss or insurance can bo obtained.
Relief Measures.
Every effort is being made here to prevent suffering nmong the hundreds of homeless people. General public meetings were held Monday and a general relief
oommlttee organized. This
committee has now in its hands about (6,000 and a great quantity of clothing and provisions. The greater portion of the women and
children from Virginia
are in Duiuth. Loss of Life Feared. Several persons aro believed to have perished
at Virginia. A local physician
found bones of an adult male and female In the debris of one of the houses, but there is too much confusion and the people are too widely scattered to make it possible to check lip or locate any that may be missing. A man and horse are also said to have been burned at the Lone Jack mine. W. O. Taylor, of Virginia, was badly burned, bwt is still alive.
Trouble Looked For.
Trouble is feared at Virginia from the character of the population. As in all now mining towns, the men are many of them hard characters, and lawlessness is anticipated. Police Sergeant Smollett and a squad of officers have been sworn in as deputy sheriffs and will be sent to Virginia this morning. Eight vandals were arrested by a volunteer patrol Sunday night.
Refugees Reach Duiuth.
The first train
bearing the refugees
from the range, carrying 2R0 people, mostly women and children, arrived in Duiuth at 1:30 a. m., and the weari*d and hungry passengers hurried from the coaches to the baggage-rooms, where elaborate lunchcs were spread. Of all the crowd the greater portion was penniless, dependent absolutely upon what charity njight bo offered. Few had saved anything beyond thcrmost meager effects, and for the whole train load there was but one trunk.
Story of the Fire at Virginia. A most graphic description of the fire at Virginia was given by James McCar
thy, an actor, who had been playing at the Star theater. He was accompanied by his wife and a little child. He said: "The flro Imd been burning about Virginia for several days, but no one else seemed, to worry, so we did not. Saturday night we were called out to fight the fire, but it was easily got under control. Sunday morning it was worse and the town waB almost surrounded by lire. About o'clock ths wind, which had been rising all tho morning, begun to blow perfect gala and houses on the edge of the town bogas to burn. People wont mad. They attempted at first to save everything nnd began moving furniture. Then they tried to •ave lighter articles, but as the lire grew fiercer they were glad to save anything and escape with their lives. The town burned like tinder the light frame buildings were Uko so muoh paper. The who'.e town was In ruins In less than an hour. The terrified people gathered about the MeBaba depot, where theoftlcors of the road were doing everything for their safety. A train of ore cars was backed Into the depot and th* people loaded in. All the way down we came through a lano of lire."
JFIrei In Michigan.

FIXED THE BLAME.
Verdlot of the Coroner's Jury in the Ford Theater Case.
FOUR MEN ARE HELD RESPONSIBLE.
They Are Col. Aln.worth, Contractor Dant, Englnocr Susse and SnpcrIntendent Covert—The Government Is Censured.
RETURNED A VERDICT.
WASHINGTON,
June20.—Tho coroner's
Jury which has been investigating the Ford theater disaster reached a conclusion Monday afternoon. It holds responsible Col. Frederick Ainsworth, Contractor Dant, Engineer Susse and Superintendent Covert for criminal negligence and manslaughter. Tho announcement was received with cheers by those who were in attendance
i§m
at
Wlllard's hall. Verdict of the Jnry. After being out two hours the jury returned a verdict, setting forth that' Frederick B. Loftus came to his death by the disaster at Ford's theater building on June 0, 1893. TLIEV recite tho fact that George W. Dant was the contractor under the government for the work in progress which caused the disaster and all the circumstances connected witli the accident and find that Frederick C. Ainsworth, in charge of the building '.: William G. Covert, TKE superintendent. Francis Sasse, tho engineer, and George W. Dant, tho contractor, are responsible for the killing of Loftus.
Tho finding further refers to the absence of shoring or other means to protect tho building during the process of excavation, by reason of which one of tho piors fell, causing the fall of tho floors and tho consequent crushing and killing.
Censures Unrle Sam.
The jurors further find that tho
fail
ure of the government of the United States to provide for skilled superintendence of the work of repair and alteration of its buildings in charge of the war department Is most unbusinesslike and reprehensible, and arc of the opinion that if such superintendence had been provided in the
cose of
tho work on tho Ford's thcator building the awful tragedy might
have been
averted. Given Chance to Secure Hall. Coroner Patterson decided not to issue warrants for the commitment of Col. Ainsworth, Dant, Covert and-Sasse until this morning in order to givo them an opportunity of obtaining bail. Col. Ainsworth has already secured
a bonds
man. Contractor Dant is very ill at his residence.
