The Silver Creek Accident.
The accident at Silver Creek bridge, a mile
and one-half west of St. Marys, mention of
which was made In our last l&xue, is un
doubtedly as sad an any that has happened
la this vicinity in a long time. Fourteen
ears did not go into tbe cuam and were
taken back to St. Marys. Tbe ears that went
down were loaded with anthracite ooal, rail
road rails, and other merchandise, very little
of anything was saved. Tbe eoal too Are
when tbe Intense heat twisted tbe rails In
very conceiuable shape, making the work of
clearing- away ibe wreck much creater on
nab Kuuuuh Duouiy aiujruuou Lne Doay ui

Parks, of Renovo. was aged about twenty
two years, and loaves a wife an! one child.
A foot In a boot and a lew bones Is all that
baa been found of tbe unfortunate fireman.
Many people from Ridgway, St. Marys,
and the surrounding eouutry visited tbe
acM of tbe wreck on Sunday.
Horrible Accident.
From the Bradford Star of Sept.
10, we learn that one of the most dis
tressing and dlsastrlous Accidents re
corded la oil region annals occurred on
the above date. Between eight and
nine o'clock an explosion of glycerine
took place at a well by the roadside
Immediately west of Sawyer City.
Four men were Instantly hurled Into
eternity and a fifth Is perhaps gone
ere this together with a couple of
small boys. The killed are William
Buuton, of Bradford, James Thrashier,
of Sawyer City, Charley Crows, for
merly of Butler, Pennsylvania, and
Charley Rust, agent of the Robert's
torpedo company of Bradford. The
Injured were Ed. Wilson, united
gauger, and Geo. Sloan and a boy of
Slattery's. tIt appears the latter was
Invited to treat the well named, which
is owned by Mrs. Jane Schoonover,
on her place, to eighteen quarts of
glycerine. As the well was near the
village and close to the roadside, a
large number of people were naturally
attracted to the scene Thealiell had
been hung In the ending and two
quarts of the explosive poured In, the
remainder being in the cans on the
derrick thor. After pouring in the
two quarts, Rust set tbe cau down and
undertook to fit the cap to the shell.
It worked n little tight and lie gave It
a couple of blows with his hand In
order to force it to position. The
second blow caused the exploMon
with the pad results named. Hunt's
body was blown fully 100 feet from
the' scene and his skull was so com
pletely shattered that the bruins lay
outside in small bunches. His body
was otherwise badly mangled yet not
so seriously as to prevent recognition.
Chas. Thrashier was an employee of
the estate and lived with a family of
four wife and three children on the
west side of the road in a small house
seen just before entering Sawyer as
you go from 'Purport. He was also
terribly mangled about the head and
chest.
Mr. William Bunton, who was sim
ply a spectator, having been on his way
to'his wells above Sawyer and halted
to witness the shooting, was badly cut
about the head and must have been
sufficiently close to have been killed
instantaneously. His body otherwise
than the cuts in the head was not in
j n red. Crouse was terribly lacerated
about the head, chest and arms. He
was engaged it is said on the well as
one of the hands.
The derrick was laterally shattered
to pieces and the tloor and heavy sills
were torn from their resting place and
piled in heaps around. The high-way
was nearly blocked with tbe frag
ments, and the whole gave evidence
of the terrible power of nitro glycer
ine when set in motion, it was
indeed fortunate that the quantity
used was not the usual size tor this
section sixty quarts Had this been
so many more deaths would prob
ably have been recorded. As it is the
matter is very serious mid suggests the
foolishness of disinterested or inter
ested parties gHtliering near wiiile
the detestilde stuir is being handled.
Dr. Dorn of this city passed the well a
few rods when the explosion occurred,
and of course was the first physician
on the ground. It was with great
difficulty he could persuade Ins team to
stand still, it was so thoroughly
frightened, but he succeeded and re
turned to aid in removing the bodies
from the wreck. He describes the
scene as sickening in the extreme.
The dead bodies of four men who a
few minutes previous were in the en
joyment of health and vigor, were
now lying nearly covered among
piece of timber, shattered lumber, and
earth mixed with oil. The three were
removed to a vacant house in the vil
lage and that of Thrashier to the
home of his family, where they were
properly covered to await the action of
the Coroner's jury. Drs. Beuninghof
and Wallace, of Tarport, and Matti
son anil Wallace, of Bradford, arrived
at the scene in half an hour after
wards and attended to the sniloi ings
of those who had been injured but
were still living. Mr. Ed. Wilson
was seriously cut in the thighs mid
wasalso badly injured elsewhere He
was also a spectator. His wounds
were dressed and some hopes are en
tertained of bis recovery. The boy,
Nive Hastings, it is said, can hardly
live. Aside from other erii-cts of the
shock he had an arm and leg broken,
and is at his home in Sawyer. A little
boy of Mr. Blatters had his stomach
torn open and received other severe
injuries and will probably die. George
Sloan was bit on the head wit li u plank
and though seriously hurt, his in
juries will hardly prove fatal. A num
ber of othersmiuorefTeetsare reported,
but noneof a dangerous stripe, diar
ies Raney had the seat of his pants re
moved while making tracks for life
and liberty, The whole town felt tlie
shock. Some windows were broken'
and the people were generally thor
oughly frightened. It is a remarkable
circumstance that so few were injured.
One aged gentleman who was passing
with a team halted to witness the
process of filling the shell Discover
ing the man Rust tampering with t lie
shell he put the whips to his an
imals and got just far enough away
to escape injury further than the
general fright and an upset on the
end board of his wagon.

HUNDREDS LOST.
Scorched and Charred Bod lei In the
Woods of Micnlggn,
Detroit, September Details con
tinue to come in relative to the de
struction by forest fires. Huron and
Sanilac Cotintles have been the princi
pal theatre of the greatest destruction
and suffering. An eye-witness states
that darkness, and a copper-colored
sky preceded the approach of the fire.
Later the sky changed to a deep red,
and Monday afternoon It became so
dark that lanterns were necessary for
people to find their way about. This
condition of affairs continued until
8 o'clock Wednesday morning, when
the wind shifted from west to north,
cooling the air and bringing a slight
relief . In the woods were many
scorched and charred bodies, which
presented a revolting appearance. The
high winds that prevailed cut off
nearly everj avenue of escape, and
large burning masses would be lifted
up bodily and borne along for a great
distance. In many instances these
burning masses started fires In fresh
places. The skill and courage of man
seemed impotent to combat with such
flames, and the fleeing people were
caught in the fire-traps and roasted.
One farmer who was ploughing with
his oxen a few miles from Hand Beacli
perceived the approaching darkness
and started for his house. On reach
ing home he found that his wife had
gone to a neighbor's. He then took
two of his children, his eldest
daughter taking the others. Before
going many rods they found them
selves cut off by the flames. The
farmer then hurried in another direc
tion and escaped with the two chil
dren. His daughter and the other
three children were found next day In
a heap charred beyond recognition.
Up to Wednesday night 43 bodies had
been found within a mile. In Paris
township many are missing, most of
them Poles. The whole settlement,
buildings, fences, crops, etc., was
swept clear. In Delaware township,
all the county south of Forestville
from the lake seven miles back, there
is hardly anything left, not one house
to the square mile. They were new
settlers and had small clearings, and
the fire swept them like a hurricane
They lose all they had and owe for
their places. Many of them tied to
the lake. The shore line has been
crowded Wth human beings, cattle
and everything that could get to t lie
water. Eye witnesses say that the
utmost confusion prevails. Many
could not see. One man who had
lost his all was both blind and crazy
and had to be led to the lake.
North of Sanilac the Are on Monday
night was terrible, sweeping away
almost everything, but it seemed to
leave the houses The people here did
not seem to Know any lire was near
them until it was on thetn. They bad
to run for the lake, and it being but a
short distance away all reached it
safely. John Kerr and family were
asleep when their building caught fire,
and a neighbor seeing it ran and sue- i
ceeded in saving tbe house, but lost
everything else. Mrs. N. Burgess got
separated from her husband and lay
all night In a ditch. Another person
lay down in a mud-puddle and rolled
over and over all night. A large party
of men have gone to bury the dead
beasts in Forrester township. Dr
iioyt. who returned for more medi
cine, reported several badly burnt.
.Many are so blind that they had to be
led and many are without food. A
number of parties have already gone
with food, clothing, shoes and medi
cine. More lielp must come quick, as
much suffering wiil ensue. They have
no Hour or provisions. George Fer
guson of White Rock, who has been
on the road since Monday, reports, tint
he has ucvii one liutidre.T "and sixteen
burned bodies. At one place he saw
four wagons bearing eight co'lius,
wit'i one nrin walking behind uli
alone. It was his fai.iiiy. Another
man wa following three coffins.
lery fanner lost some crops and
fences. On Wednesday night the
burning district between Deckers.'illc
and Sand Beach was visited by a rain
storm which put out a considerable por
tion of the fires and cleared tiie atmos
phere. The latest reports are that the fiit
appear to be abating. A despatch
from Port Austin at the tup of the
burned peninsula sums up the general
destruction as fol ows: The loss oT
lives by tiie fore-l fires on Monday
ulid Tuesday is estiui ib-d at from :.'K)
to 8-iil. The following villages weu
bunied: Bad Axe. Verona, Frot

much destruction of property , do not
approach lite looses In Hie shore coun
ties. Tbe losses by lire was much less
sweeping and general and thj loss of
life was sm;. 11. But in each of these
more favored counties hundreds of
thousands of dollars' worth of prop
erty Jits been destroyed. The latest
report from all I lice counties encour
age the belief that rain has visited
many sections and I hut the deluge of
fiame is largely su bsidiug The work
of Immediate relief must now be ays
tematically entered upon. Lumber to
build houses, provisions of all kinds,
clothing and seed for future crops,
must be furnished in large quantities
to prevent still greater destitution.
The benevolent every where can safely
send money to Mr. E. C. Curleton,
Mayor of Port Huron, or to Senator
O. D. Conger in the same place, with
tbe assurance that, the means will be
Judiciously usedL prompt action Is
urgently demanded.
Welcome Rain.
Detroit, Mich., September . Rains
have fallen in probably sufficient
quantity to quench the fires, but not
enough to soak the ground and revive
the drooping Vegetation. The lowest
estimates Indicate that 215 families
have been burned out in the towns of
Marlette, Flynit, Argyle, Evergreen,
Moore, Lamotte and Elmer in Sanilac
county, and thirty-two persons are
known to be dead. Men who trav
eled through the burned district yester
day reported that the fires arc mostly
t ut and the inhabitants sitting about
the ashes of their burned houses,
many burned and otherwise injured.
They are disconsolate and almost be
reft of their senses. Provisions,
clothing, bedding and olher neces
saries are being constantly forwarded
and men are traveling through the
burned sections distributing supplies
and taking the names of those In need.
Many persons are still missing in the
burned district, and the exact loss can
not be known for some days. Sixty
five burials are already reported in
six towns, and It is said that twenty
seven dead have been found in the
country between Bad Axe and Port
Hope. Trains are now running regu
larly to Sand Bench and Marlette.
