The Disaster at Phllltps.

Piui.i.irs. Wis., Jul.v 8U.—Not aluce tho terrible forest fir en degtroyod Pesbtigo has unythlng- occurred which will comimru with tlio sc«no of ruin here. Out of a to.vn of 700 bulldlng-s only twentj-siivon arc left standing. It is not yot known how muny of tho B,000 inhabitants of the town porlshod.

When tho impossibility of allocking tho flames became apparent a rush was madtt by the people for places of safety. Trains on the Wisconsin Central hue were hurried to tho town, and as fast as steam could carry them the inhabitants wero taken to other towns which wero supposed to be out of tho range of the flafnos. There was no tlmo to carry away property of any description except that whloh could be readily carried on the person, and so everything,as far as can be ascertained, was Bwopt away. iriro Reaches the Doomed Cltyj

Driven by die inoreaslnjj wind the Are reached tho southwest limits of the city about 2 o'olook Friday afternoon. Across the miles of swamp where the water was from 0 lnohes tt 1 foot in depth It oould be heard roaring for fully an hour, a sound that rendered the people panic-stricken. The firemen fought it until it drove them baok with blistered hands and faces, and then they sought to stop iU progress with dynamite explosions. Tnli they did accomplish after tho north end Of the city had been destroyed, tho entire First and a part of tho Second ward, including th6 box faotory of the John R. Davis Lumber company, and the Bchoolhouse.

Just then another ovolone of fliNj struck tho western side, kw^oping through the main business and residence portion of tho oity, destroying tho rest of tho Davis oompany's plant. Tho path of the Are took in the city hall, courthouse, oounty jail and the Wisconsin Central depot, and swept everything to the lake. thirteen prisoners wero in the jail and threo of them made thair esoapo from the sheriff when released from confinement.

Perished in tho Lake.

It was during the flr6t flro that the loss of life ocourred. Driven frantlo by the rushing gale of flames, the families of James Locke, Frank Clisa and Dave llrydcn gathored hurriedly in their arms all their possessions that they could and madfi for a floating boathouse that was tied to the town bridge near tho box factory, "f he ropes were cut and the oooupants thought tho gale would drive them ncross tho lake where tho flames would not reach them, but tho raft was a rickety affair and overloaded, and, most terrible of all, the flro soetned to create a current of air that pulled them directly towards a groat pilo of burning lumber on the lake shore.

Tho raft began to sink, and, with doath by flro facing them on olio side and drowning on the othor, tho boats were resorted to, but in the gale they capsized almost instantly, and all perished with the exception of Mrs. Cliss, who was found floating Saturday morning on tho opposite sido of the lake, clinging with desperation to a boat.

Found in the Street.

The body of an unknown man burned to a orlsp has already bcon found in Phillips, and it is feared there are others whioh have not yet boon revealed to the searohers. Owing to the scattering of the population and the uncertainty as to the whereabouts of many families, a list of those actually missing cannot be had.

Aid Arrive*.

A committee of oltizens from Ashland arrived with a special train of provisions Saturday night at 0 o'clock. It was the first material relief to arrive and it arrived Just In time to keep the people from aotual suffering for want of food. Tho provisions were given out in small quantities, so as to make them last as long as posBlblo and keep something available until other provisions arrive.

Gov. Peck and his staff arrived from Madison Sunday morning. A doien cars of provisions havo arrived from various cities, and the organization for relief has been completed. Gov. Peck mot with tho committee at the town hall and offered many suggestions. He brought a large quantity of sheeting with him, whioh is being converted Into tents. Great erowds of residents who were ohased out of the

look

purpose of rebuilding ana operation* have ulready begun. More Loss of Llfo Feared

The entire northern part of the stnte is a sea of flame. The oountry is dotted with the homes of farmers and homesteaders and with lumber camps. There is no doubt that hundreds of these buildings have been burned, while tho fato of the people is In doubt. It is probable that many of them have lost their lives.

Breaking Oat Again.

The fires have again broken out into blaze all along the dooks and in many portions of tho oity. The breaking Out afresh of tho lire inakcB the people think the fire will not be stopped until it burns itself out and destroys all the docks, fitavens Point has been asked to send aid.

Another Town I)e«troyed.

The forest flres are still raging to the north and west of here, and it is reported that several small stations between here and Ashland on the Central have been wiped out. Tho town of Woroester, a few miles west of here, is reported to have been destroyed. The family of John Slychor, oonsisting of himself, wife and five ohlldren, came In Friday morning and report their house gone and all their crops burned up. Thoy say the town was burned, but as it only consisted of a few houses widely soattored, the flDanolal loss is not heavy. Tho danger Is that somo of the families may have been hemmed in by the flres !n the woods and have lost their lives. From all dlreotlons there oorae reports of destitution and suffering among the people.

DlfHcaltle. of the Kallwaya. Firas of greater or less extent arc raging between Channlng and Pral, Mloh., on the Lake Superior division. Lumber oamps on tho Gibson and Toleen spurs Of the road, 4 miles wast of Channing. are reported destroyed and flres aro running rapidly through tho woods in that part of tho country.

All trains on tho Wisconsin Central road in the soction of the country where the flro Is raging aro held nt various points or are picking their way through the burned-over sections slowly and with frequent stops. Every effort is being made to get to tho towns and lumber oamps whore flro has cleaned out nearly everything in order to earry supplies to the people left homeless and without anything in many eases to eat or wear, tho main object of tho company at present being to relieve the destitute people rather than to got passengers through or run regular trains.

Marshe. Ahlazo.

A special from Stevons' Point. Wis., says the continuous dry weather has resulted in a number of forest fires north and west of there. Fires are now in the marshes within 8 or 8 miles west of the city, but by good work done on the part of the settlers very little damage has been done. The hay crop is nearly all out and stacked upon the marnhes, and thousands of tons will bo destroyed. In some instances farmers have been obliged to use every exertion to save fences, barns and homos from destruction, and the danger will not bo passed until they are favored by tho elements. The big marsh below Plover, whioh oomprlses several thousand aores, Is also threatened, and those who have out hay thereon aro endeavoring to save It.

Tho same state of affairs exists at Malndore. Sherry and other points west, but as all suffered greatly less than one year ago from forest flres the progress is now comparatively slow. At Centralia forest flres have been raging during the last twonty-four honrs and hundreds of men are now out endeavoring to save tho cranborry crop. Tho hay mnrshes are also threatened, while many farmers will suffer. Rain is badly needed, and this is the only thing that will save losses that can scarcely be imagined at this tlmo.

FURIOUS STORM.

Darlington (In.) and Vlobiltjr Vlnlted— Much Damage ItefiultH. FTI'RLIKOTON, la., July 80.—The worst rain and windstorm experienced here for some time visited Uurlington Saturday evening.

Reports from country distriots show the storm was general in this region. Many barns wero demolished and small buildings wrecked. Standing crops wero badly lashed about, thousands of bushels of green apples blown from trees and the orchards damaged.

WITVL ACCEPT IT 18 FATE.

TERHB HAUTE, Ind., .Inly 80.—There were 1,800 persons In the opera houso Sunday night to hear Eugene V. Deb*, and 1,000 more could not fret in. Whon tho familiar flgnro of the American Railway union president appeared on the Btaffe there was loud and lon^-con-tlnued applaud. A synnpsU of his remarks follows:

Mr. Debs began his speech by saying that as a general proposition he Is opposed to strikes but there are times wheu not to strike Is to accept degradation. "We are a BtrlUlng Korernment," he adde\. "Every star In tho na^r represents a strlko." Tho revolutlonury fathers struck at/alnnt tyranny und for liberty. If all employes hud been treated fairly there would have bet-n no lubor organisations. He safd he had done all he could to prevent the Pullman strike. Then followed a narrative of the efforts of oommltU'Cb to secure arbitration.

Mr. Debs followed with the story of the American Railway union national convention and its efforts to secure redress for the Pullman employes, but the oompauy would make no concession and the convention by a unanimous vote decided to haul no more Pullman oars. The charge that he had ordered the strike, he said, was absolutely false. In all of his oonnectlou with organized labor he had not advlhed a man to leave his employment, the railway managers met and decided to support the Pullman company in the tight it wa« making on Its employes. "The managers al3o decided to destroy the American Railway union," KUM he, "but that Is a oontract they would like to sublet now The American Railway uniou. he said, simply followed the example of the managers by combining for mutual protection.

Mr. Debs said it had beeu printed that lie was a foreigner and an anarchist. Ho was proud of the fact that ho had been horn and reared in Terre Haute. He had no patience with violence In any form. He said it could he proved that at the time of tho iiuffalo switchmen's strike the companies caused cars to be burned so they could have the militia called out. "When the truth is known it will be found that the American Railway union was lu nowise responsible for arson or any l.iwless acts. With the aid of soldiers the managers finally succeeded in operating their roa«ls in a manner,"

Workingxnen would no longer besupplioauts. They would take what was their right, not In an unlawful manner, but they were the people and this was a peoplo's Kovurnment.

llv,

spoke

of the failure to enforce the interstate commerce law against the corporations, which called up the same law agaiust' workingmcn. He denied that he was to be branded as an anarchist because corporations Jelled the laws He urged his hearers to bear in mind that they must use the power of the ballot.

He hoied there would never be another strike. He had about mado up hi* mind never again to be connected with a strike. He would do his striking at the ballot box. Ho did not have much faith In public opinion, but when it gots right the A. R. U. strike would he overwhelmingly vindicated, and he was content to wait for that time.

He said no word a* to tho future of the strike, but In his story of it he spoke of it Ln terms indicating that he thought of it as a thing of the past. Ho said in closing that if a penalty attached to his actions he would accept his fate like a man. He would not shirk the responsibility for his acts.

Took

Appeal.

CHICAGO, JU13t80.—Judge Woods has granted an appeal by the American Raiway union from the decree of Injunction iasued by the circuit court. The effect of the appeal will be to stop any further proceedings in the circuit court under the bill filed July vi on behalf of the railroads, but It leaves the injunction which was Issued still In force and does not interfere in any way with tho contempt proceedings against Debs and others.
