A Special Correionilent at the Seene of the HolorauM. St. Vxvl, Minn., Sept. 3. A special to the Morning Call from Hinckley. Minn., says: A Call reporter boarded the first train out of Tine City for Hinckley at 7 o'clock this morning. It was a work train, but carried many members of the different committees appointed at Pine City last evening. As tho train nearcd Mission Creek the first physical evidences of the great fire became apparent The whole country was singed. The telegraph wires were down, and the scene was one of desolation incarnate. Mission Creekwas a small shanty surrounded by a potato patch. It was the only house standing, the depot buildings and the mill being but a mass of smoking ruins. The train proceeded slowly three miles further to Hinckley. The roundhouse and coal sheds of the Eastern Minnesota road only remained. West on this road was along line of smoking ruins of freight cars, probably not less than fifty in number. The train halted at Hinckley and the scene of woe and devolution which

tion. The gaunt skeleton nl the public school alone remained standing in the center of tho village. Alongside the railroad track were two score of boxes filled with the bloated and disfigured remains of victims of the fire. The reporter read some of the inscriptions as follows: "Supposed remains of Mrs. lllanchard, horribly distorted," "Girl, 10 years old, no clothing." Three childrer of Mrs. Martinson," and in the neti box Mrs. Martinson laid. Then ca u .1 ihn Wendbund and child and a niunber more unidentified. A Sicht to Freeze the Wood. "If you want to sec a sight to freczo Your blood," said F. .1. Donnelly, "go
out to the cemetery from which I have just returned." The reporter picked his way through the deserted avenues of the village, encountering the bursting remains of horses, cows, cats, chickens and dogs. He overtook Hans Paulson, an employe in the Urcnnan mill. "I am going out to the cemetery to see if I can find my wife and four children." he said. "I lost them all." Then he burst into tears. The rain began pouring down in sheets. We readied the cemetery, a mile and a half from town and noted a half dozen men digging a trench,
but oh! the dread horror of that heap of bodies lying on a knoll in the middle of the cemetery. Here were ninety-six bodies, men, women and children, scorched, blackened, distorted, bowels and brains protruding, hands clutched in their final agonies, hair singed from heads. Old, young, middle aged, male and female, all in a dread promiscuous heap. No words of
th imagination can describe the
Aa Old Operator Who Se.rlÜced 1IU Life to Duty. A local searching party this morning found the inxly of Thomas Dunn, aged .12, late operator at the St. IJaul & l)uluth station. When the fire started he remained at his post and it was only when the advancing flames drove him from the station that he left his key. He hurried over to the river and perished there with numerous others. His brother was among the searching party that found his body and he secured his watch and ring, which were the only means of identification. Kobert Dowling, baggage agent at the Hinckley station of the St. Paul .fc Dulttth, was going about this morning with a badly scorched hand and face. He states that there was a large crowd of people at the station waiting for the Dulttth limited, due at 4:20 p. tn.. wheu the fire came down upon the town with resistless fury, and a gale of wind forcing it at forty miles an hour. Dowling started for his home, but could not get
near the house, lie ran up tho track and fortunately got on the limited a mile north of town. In trying to save a lad from jumping from the train he burned his hand. The boy jumped into the flames alongside the track and perished. Dowling states that among the intending passengers at Hinckley with whom he talked were a woman and two children for Wyoming and two women and two children for St. Croix Falls, Wis. A girl named Fitzgerald was going to the latter place.

At this writing (12 noon) there arc twenty-one cakets containing charred and blackened remains alongside the

John lllanchard, a St. Paul & Dnluth car repairer, who came up from Pine City this raorniug, after escaping to that town Saturday, was looking for the remains of his wife and children. He found them in caskets at the cemetery and had them removed for ship
ment to Hinckley for burial.
Lee Webster, president of the village council, reports that his wife is still missing. He is morally sure she is among the-lost. The last he saw of her was when he directed her to run to the gravel plL He was at the cemetery this morning, but failed to identify his wife's remains among the dead. It is now the generally accepted belief that many more people would have been saved at Hinckley had they squatted in the river or stayed in the gravel pits, but everyone was panic stricken.

At 7:30 this morning the relief train which left here at 4:15 p. m. yesterday on the Du-
luth road returned with about 250 refugees who tramped iu across country from Sandstone. At 10:30 a train left here consisting of three coaches, a baggage car and two air-brake box cars, with a largo amount of provisions for settlers in the vicinity of Uutledge. At o'.'M the cheering news came from Rutledge. which is as far as the wire works, that rain is falling. All tho stations between here and Uutledge report tiros dying out and that no further trouble need be feared provided a strong wind does not come up. lloadmaster Williams telegraphed early this forenoon that he expected to get into Hinckley with a train within a short time. It is understood that there are already relief parties in Hinckley from the south. If the bridcre in tho village is not destroyed a through train may be expected here before tnauy hours. The Omaha reports that it is doing nicely to-day. It sent train from either end between Minneapolis and Dnluth this morning. They will probably not be very late. The Chicago limited arrived early this afternoon, being late on account of connections at Kau Claire. The people at Grand Rapids, on the Mississippi end of the Duluth & Winnipeg road, were ready to move out last nicht, but fires were averted. During last night there was a bad
fire at Comstock, on the Omaha, a small settlement twenty miles south of Spooner. As there is no operator there the facts cannot be learned as to
the destruction and possible deaths.

The eleventh annual opening of the St. I.ouisexposltion occurred Wednesday evening under the most llatteriug auspices, the attendance being greater than on any opening night in the history of the enterprise. Fully 20,000 people occupied the halls and naves or squeezed into the grand music hall, where the opening exercises were to take place. President T. 15.

Then for . miles the pathway was lined with charred bodies. The courier counted twenty-three.
