FIRST TRAIN FOR 8EVJ-HAL DAYS. ASHLAND, Wis., Sept 7.—For the first time In five days a train came over the Chicago, Ht. Paul, Minneapolis So Omaha railroad Thursday night, all burned bridges having been repaired or reconstructed so that trains could get through. The Scott lino between Ashland and Washburn has also been put iu operation. immediate steps are being taken by the Omaha line to fill in every bridge possible with sand clear to the tops of the rails, and thus prevent them from burning again. The tics will also bo literally buried in sand.

It has certainly been a blessing to northern Wisconsin that the winds have been an absent factor in the breeding of more forest fires. The fires are by no means out, but with no wind to fan them the country wl.l be comparatively safe.

A 1'iRht for I.lfe.

John Vostus walked a distance of 20 miles to Iron River Wednesday night. He reports a terrible experience there. Men worked hour after hour, with not a moment of rest, and as a final effort against the fires that were slowly creeping to the center of the city women and children were added to the ranks of lighting men. It was alight for life, and made all the more intense because water had to be drawn from the beach, a considerable distance. Men dropped under the great strain nnd wives took up the work where husbands failed. Just when further effort seemed futile a cellar was found which was full of water, a spring having been tapped when it was dug. It furnished a new supply of water and nearer the scene of the hardest lighting, undoubtedly saving the place.

Drummond and Mason, which were threatened, have escaped by hard fighting on the part of the citizens. Superintendent Hope, of the Omaha telegraph service, who made the trip up the line on an engine, says that it was only the absence of wind that saved Drummond. He brought up a force of men from farther down the line to assist the people of the threatened city. l'liin to Fitflit Fore»t I'lres.

In view of the continued destruction of towns from forest fires iu the states bordering on Lake Superior the scheme of John F. Scott, Ashland's chief of the fire department, for joint protection is again being considered. Mr. Scott would have ten men stationed at each of the cities in the territory covered and a large steam lire engine stationed at Ashland. This engine would have all suitable equipments and would be capable of throwing eight streams, with Siamese connections. The engine would be kept on a fiat car, and in case of a serious fire in any of the cities of otlic district would start for the fire, picking up the crew at each town. The engine could be placed on a boat in case of tire in the lumber yards or at Washburn or Bayfield. Mr. Scott is working up the plan, which, if it had been in vogue, might have saved Iron River* Phillips. Marengo aud Washburn. Most of the railroads are taking hold of the nmtter e.scept the Wisconsin Central. The towns that are included in the fire district are as follows:

On the ('i ntra]— Pmiticr. Winchester, Fllleld, Park Falls. .Butternut, Glidden. Mellon. High Hrid^e, Pluinuier and Iron Holt.

On tho Northwestern ironwood, Hurley. Gile. Sax ton. Odanah and other small towns. On tho DuluLh & South Shore—Mason. Sanborn. Marengo and Sedgwick.

On the Northern Pacific--Everything as far west us Iron Kiver. Oil the Omaha- Havtleld. Washburn. Ashland Junction. Benoit. Pratt. nrunmiond, Cable and llnyward.

Ni: A rM:K. Mieh., Sept. 7.—Forest fires have started on the north aud east side of this city. The damage is confined to standing timber and farm crops. A strong breeze is blowing and the tire is spreading rapidly.

IHti.lth, Minn., Sept,. 7.—Since the arrival of the first party of refugees from the awful Hinckley fire last Saturday Duluth has cared for X,MOO persons. Hospitals have been established all over the city and every public building and hnnJreds of private residences are sheltering refugees. Nearly $15,000 in actual cash has been paid into the relief fund here, and the subscriptions, including lumber and all supplies, will aggregate S'2U,(J00.

Many of the refugees are leaving the city, returning to their homes to begin the work of reconstruction. For a time they were da/.ed and prostrated, but are now recovering and wish to get to work for themselves and relieve the committee from the burden of taking care of them.

MORS TBLBQRAMS.

Another Hatch in the Trial of rrrn* ldent Qetiy. CHICAGO, Sept. When court opened Mr. Debs was not present, but he came in in about a quarter of an hour bringing Howard and Goodwin with him. Debs looked well and cheerful.

As soon a* oourt was called to order Western Union Manager Mulford again took the stand with his bundle of telegrams. lie read several messages sent by offloera of the American Hallway union early in July, but prior to the issue of the Woods-Grosscup injunction, or prior to its service upon the strike leaders.

The Injunction was served on Debs on July 8. On July 7 there waB sent in his name to some 200 dlfferet railway men in as many different places scattered all over the United States a telegram containing the words "You are hereby instructed to assist us In the present strike by having all employes withdraw from service," and "every man who works is helping the capitalists and is an enemy of labor." Mr. Mulford read a dispatoh sent from Chicago on July 8, in Debs' name, which said that "yesterday the Wabash offered 8S.000 to get an engineer to take a train out of St. Louis.

Nenry fifty other telegrams were read by Mr. Mulford. He was crossexamined upon each, and counsel for the defense held that no proof had been established that Debs sent the telegrams bearing his name.' Attorney Millerthen took up the telegrams sent from tho American Railway union headquarters in Chicago to jioints on tho Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railway system. Twenty-two of these were read.

Most of the Santa Fe telegrams sent from Chicago oflice of the American Railway union, like the others, were typewritten, signature and all. The reading took all the morning, and Mr. Mulford had not finished when tho court adjourned at 1 o'elook for luncheon. The hearing was resumed at o'clock in the afternoon.

The afternoon session was taken up also in the monotonous reading ol telegrapms. At its close tho prosecution announced that it would present no more telegrams in evidence, but that testimony of a different nature would bo introduced to-day.

GERMAN RITUAL MUST GO.

Supreme Lodge, Knights of l'ythink, Adopts the Majority Itfporl. WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.—The much mooted German question has been decided by the supreme lodge of Kuighti of Pythias by a decisive vote against permitting the use of the ritual in other than the English language. Two vote:were taken. The first, on the substi tution of the minority report to give the German lodges five years of grace in which to adopt the English ritual, resulted 74 to 41 against the minority report. Then the majority report was adopted by a vote of 79 to 36.

Sitting in committee of the whoie the supreme lodge approved the unanimous report of the committee on the state of the order recommending that saloonkeepers, bartenders and profossional gamblers be declared ineligible to membership, but not affecting those who have already become mem bers.
