When the picture of ' the awful ca
tastrophe at Peslitee, Wisconsin was
thought completep wan spectatora
stele in from the neighboring tiler
ra•kses to add more. shuddering last:
touches to the lurid horror. So it is
here at Ahnapee, Wis. ' When the ,
list of death is closed, new names are
added; and.wh en the total seems com
plete, new figures changelhe reckon
ing: -Every mile of waste is alive
with the unrecorded romance of indi
vidual heroism. "This 'era,!' said
the driver solemnly, rising impres
sively on the tremulous platform of
the buck-board, and sweeping the air
with his disengage d
r arm, "was the
mill—Willian3son s mill, where they
had the dreadfulest roast that night
that ever a human creater see; 1 did
n't see the fire; but I was here next
day," herald cautiously. "Tom Bush,
the barmaster, was here all night,
and so on the peak of the barn a long i
spell, !file the buildings was eatch
-74h
ing." The vehicle had come upon a
widebishen belt, like a road-way, en
closing an oblong clearing of 5 acres
or more. Profound silence rested In
the stagnant atr—life seemed never
to have had existence in the lonely
corner. The smooth, powdery earth
lay in alternate strips of white and
red ashes, with here and there black
squares where the buildings st-kere,
and reminding one horribly of a
ghastly chess-board, whose last game
was between Life and Death, and
where Life had been hopelessly cheek
nutted. -
Three brothers, Williamson; own
ed the mill, and had in the little col
ony, mother, father, sisters, wives
and children. Hastily charging the
woinert to take care for themselves,
the brothers set about saving the pro
perty if possible. But before the
hose could be brought to bear. the
savivg of life alone became the stake
in
, THE DREADFUL , ENCOUNTER.
The brothers, as proprietors.;eein
for a time to have been • full of lin,
brave discretion, and with the fait
realization of the sudden danger in.
the first rush of the tornado, attempt
ed systematic plans of preservation.
The women were directed, as far as.
possible, to put on men's clothes
throughout, as offering less chance
for the fl re to catch. So far as known,
not a woman
. heeded the advice.
Had they done go, their ,lives might
not have been sacrificed on that igno
ble pyre. Even if life had not been
trred, the most revolting sights of
e massacre would have been spared
the heart broken `survivors. This
was the last shred of coherent toad uct
among 'the frightened people. Swift
whirling columns of flame had cut
through the intervening timber, and
fell voraciously on ''the light frame
buildings. The whirlwind lashing
the trees into fragthents caught the
tire in roaring surges, and flung it
about in billowy waves among the
tree-tops. Slender tongues of fire
falling from above, played in male
volent currents across the clearing.
A desperation of . terror fi lled men,
women and children—a terror as nat
ural as fatal, for, had common forti
tude led the group, not a soul need
have perished. With one impulse
the frantic mss., battling and crowd-'
ing,rushed to the txitato patch: Here
a rising ground was crowned by a
shallow pit, not six feet around, and
hardly, at the deepest part, two feet
below the surface of the ground.
Men now living, who came almost
unscathed through that night of
&Qin, tell how before the evil time,
when the fires were raging about,
This spot had been fixed on as a place
of safety, because, almost in the cen
ter of the clearing with no inflairima
ble matter, oear, it seemed to prom
ise a breathing, in elme of general
conflagration. There had been con
stant jocosities and banter about this.
"CENTER OF sALvAlliwk.i,"
and some one actually attempting to
enlarge the cavity had been driven
off by good-natured ridicule. Even
as late as Saturday it had been us: d
as a place of refuge notwithstanding,
mid when the actual danger came,
the credulous mass remembered the
delusive Pit. If that fatal spot had
nut been, if the whimsical belief had
not obtained a firm hold, there is not
the slightest doubt but the forty
seven that perished would have es
caped in the neighboring woods.
Into that cramped place, crowding,
buffeting, begging, cursing, implor
ing, pulling, shrieking, men, chil
dren and women elbowed and fought
In the frenzy of a hideous desperation
ancliterroi: Not large enough i o ad
mit a dozen by the closest packing,
nearly fifty wrestled and crowded
atut the fatal spot. With ostrich
instinct, in the abjectness of their un
reasoning fear, men plowed their
burning heads under the living pyre.
An inextricable pyramid of bodies, in
all sorts of conceivable postures,
stood In the flame swept place.
• There were a few in this awful
time that preserved an amazing
equanimity. The engineer of the
mill, Bryon Merrill, a young fellow
of marked character and intelligence
battled resolutely till the last chance
to save his employer's property;•and
only when the futility of the effort
and the danger to life became obvi
ous, was his self-imposed duty re
signed.
A BIT OF 11011A1CCE
tinges the glaring picture. His
sweetheart was a relative of the mill
owners, Miss Maggie Williamson, a
'girl, it is said, of rare beauty and at
tractions. The young fellow, bright
and cultured beyond his kind, re
garded with favor and affection - for
many a mile around, had won .her
heart,.and , the two were to have been
married.' The girl with her kindred
had fled to the potato patch, and
here, suffocating with smoke, their
garments in flames, and writhing in
awful agony, the young fellowfound
;:
the chief part ! the people. Retried
d.
to scatter the i atuated group; with
his hat-presed closely over his mouth
and nostrils, h directed the group to
break and tak refuge in the edge of
the timber. Hopeless! The roar of
the hurricane even the blood-curd
ling shrieks, o the sufferers drowned
his voice. RE tried by main force to
tear the hideois mass asunder, but
the strength of a giant could not
have broken the mad clutch of the
wretched sufferers. The group was
imniovably fixed to, the fatal spot,
and rose frinn the burning sand a fi
ery Laocoon struggling with the
coiling flames. 316m11, hastily
fetching wetted blankets, threw them
over the nearest sufferers, meantime
shouting to them to break for the
timber, not twenty steps away ;

through the fire, did not forget his
duty, 'but aided his mother to this
forlorn refuge. Be that as it may,
with a thick blanket well wetted,

every shriek of her roasting kindred
splitting her ears, and their burning
bodies almost within reach of her
helpless arms. Twito through the
night she received succor, once from

master, Bush, who alanfbathed her
head and gave her ' , coca Water to
drink. Through the whcile tmspeaka
able tragedy of piteous cowardiceran
this vein of simple fortitude and he
roic endurance.
THE MILL BLACKSMITH.
The mill blacksmith, Michuel Ad
ams, stands out as though of almost
antique mold. He was a man of gi
gantic figure and grave, rough re
serve. When the dringvr came, he
gathered his three children and baby
in nis great, strong arms', and with
his wife strode to the centre of the
clearing, where he calmly 'placed
them on wetted blankets, and, cov
eting them with his coat, quietly
brought water in buckets and satura
ted the frail protection. The flames
hissed crud reared about him, but he
never desisted. Resisting the ho:
torrents, with wonderful endurance,
and even when his hair was ablaze,
his hands fleshless and the coals eat
ing into his flesh, continued his
efforts for wife and child. The young
engineer and the barnmaster shouted
to him to fly to the woods,,_ Ifs
seemed to hear -them, but alltnily
shaking his head remained at his
post, As his strength and sight be
gan to ; Eail, he looked with- unuttera
ble ye arning toward the helpless
group at his feet, then glanced anx
iously toward the wood. Whether
he saw that 'there was the better
chance forsafety can never be known;
he reeled suddenly, and
DROPPED LIKE A SHOT •IN HIS
TRACES.
When help came to that group the
next day, an unsearred babe lay in
the arms of its dead mother, the
father's arm about both. They were
of course, all dead, but the father
alone, with one - arm burned off, was
unrecognizable save by his giant
frame. Even the dog that howled,
smothering in the hot air and kept
in an ecstasy of restle ss . motion to
prevent being roasted on the hot
sands, seemed impressed by this
man's devotion. Wagging delirious
inquiry with his tail, and interjecting
sharp barks, he seemed to plead
with his obdurate master. Hopeless
of recognition, then he would poke
his nose under.the wet blankots, and
after a thorough cooling, emerge de
jectedly as though deprecating the
weakness while his master stood ex
posed. Sands growing hotter and
hotter, the forbearing brute made
for the woods, but in mid-career, and
almost in the performance of a jig—
his legs were kept moving so brisk.
ly to keep his feet from burning—he
, turned longingly as if reminding the
man that his was the way to, safety.
No heed was paid to him, and with
painful limps and piteous whines he
returned, and settling his feet on the
blanket,stared eawrly at his master.
His poor singed . body was found In
that attitude of love and duty.
1. GROUPE rAKE REFUGE IN A WELL
At the well which stood nearest
the house - , a wretched groupe had
taken refuge—not only at but in it.
Six people flung themselves into this
last resort, counting confidently on
it as a place of security. Finally,
when crippled by the fire, and ex
hausted by his long efforts, the young
man Merrill threw himself into that
crowded pit also, the place was pack
ed. Even here his presence of mind
was all that saved a life where life
had - very little chance. The frail
wood curbing above the mouth had
taken fire, and the flames began "to
run downwards fiercely. The pani
lyzed group dared not put out their
heads lest the,flames should smother
them. But Merritt; without an in
stant's hesitation, uprose and flung
the dangerous thing away, and the
barn-master, hoveringabout the edge
of the woods, presently refreshed the
smothered victims by . a bucketful of
water. The well was, notwithstand
ing, a place of death. The flames
sarping savagely over the clearing,
lurched andspit down hatefully into
the crowded'pit, and soon the bloody
blaze from within indicated the fate
of its inmates. Merrill still held his
mind and resisted the flames. In
this •he was aided by Bush, who
helped him to his final deliverance.
1 He aided all who would listen to him
—and to him the few that were sav
ed in a large measure owetheir lives.
He brought water from the creek-to
aid those in the potato patch, and
kept the sheltering blankets satura
ted as long as he dared to venturein
side the line of! fire. It must not be
supposed that outside the clearing
stretched a solitude of safety. On the
contrary, the ceasless explcedous of
the breaking trunks and splintered
branches wire !so terriffic, mingled
volumes of flaine in the , tree tops,
that the great part of the people pre
ferred to risk the danger of the open
ground. But t e thick wood had its
security, andfrith care the people
that lay. down' ear the edge found
themselves, when the frightful morn
ing came, substantially uninjured.
Here the climax corns; the trage
dy is complete in this
ONE TERRIFIC PICTURE
The light of the new day revealed
only the machinery of the horrid
masterpiece., The red glare of the
night had Changed into the bleak
dawn, and the dawn had changed
into high noon before a helpful hand
broke into the black Golgotha. The
barnmaster Bush, when silence had
fallen upon the place ari hour or two
before dawn, took a horse and at
tempted to make his way to Little
Sturgeon ; as welt try to ride through
a stone wall. Leaving his horse be
hind he struggled, by the bright light
of the burning pines, and after incal
culable trouble in the way and out of
the way, spine time about daylight

man's cabin, which by the regular
path was noJ more than two miles
from the mill: He had been hours
in reaching it, and, worn out by.the
labors and agony of the night, he sat
down to rest. Presently the owner
came, and together the two 'men
started back to the settlement. They
came first to the well.] Merrill, appa
rently quite dead,was taken out first.
Six more came after, all dead, save a
child, crowded below its mother at
the bottom. Merrill soon gave
evidence of life, and was cared for at
once. Bush ran to the stone to aid
the old woman ; the blankets were
rolled away. The atone was bare
and no vestige of Mrs. Williams
could be found. Then they came up
on the pit. An indistinguishable
heap of arms, legs, and bodies, per
fectly still and wholly naked, was all
that remained of the mass that came
there in abundant life a few hours,
before. They were all dead, and few,
of them recognlzable. Seven Wil
-1 lamson.s perished int he group,among
others the young girl, .whose long
, hair, aras,fonad , clutched% 10
masses in her untharnid hands.
,The darkness of a pew night thtew
a pitying veil over the scene when
the first relief from outside turd suc
ceeded in cutting a way through.
The work of burial began next morn
ing and flfty-nine were accounted
for in the fatal clearing. The vener
able mother was found on the road to
Big Sturgeon the day after her terri
ble exposure. very feeble , and worn
out. She was tenderly cued for and
is in a fair way to regain what she
can count but little=her health. One
son out of three was spared. Her
husband laid his gray hairs in the
terrible holocaust;her whole kin
dred pawed away in the ravages of
that deadly night. To this day the
woods are not clear of their dead.
Bodies In every stage of decay are
constantly brought in by the com
mittees. and until that is ended the
grand total can only be a matter of
conjecture.
—Geo. 0. Evans, the defaulting
State agent for the collection of our
war claims against the General Gov,
ernment, was discharged on the
criminal charge brought against him,
of embezzlement of 3)1,000 of the
funds of the 'Commonwealth. The
deciding judge, Bon. John J. Pear
son, held that he was not an officer of
the State, and hence could not be
held to account for any embezzle
ment in a criminal court. He went
so far as to assert that "lo all that'has
been_lald before us we have not per
ceived the slightest evidence of fraud,
on the one side or the other; but it
is an ordinary case which should
have been settled by the law in the
usual waY, under the act of 1811, on
notice to the defendant, allowing
him what would be right by way of
compensation. and striking the bal
ance, which, if not appealed from in
sixty days, would have been conclu
sive, and if appealed Irma, the State
would have had security for its mon
ey. The balance thus found due and
uaaPpetded from would have been
as fixed and determinate as the judg
went of a court, and payment could
have been enforced by the process of
the law, both civil and criminal."
The court held the prisoner on a
capias to answer for the funds re
tabled by him, in bail to the amount
of sloo,ooo.—Pittsburgh Gazelle.
—At a recent spiritual seance,there
was present a woman who mourned
the loss of her consort, and as the
manifestations began to respond, the
spirit of the departed Benedict ap
peared upon the scene.
Of course the widow was anxious
to engage in conversation with the
absent one, and the foirowing dia
logue ensued
Widow—Are you in the spirit
World ?
The Lamented—l am.
Widow—How long have you been
there?
The Lamented—Oat some time.
Widow—Don't you want to come
back and be with your lonely wife?
The Lamented—Not if I know my
self. It's hot enough here.
—"You never saw such a happy
lot of people as we had yesterday,"
said a landlady in Indiana, to a new
ly arrived guest; "there were thir
teen couples of them." "What,
thirteen couples just. married ?" Oh
no, no, no, sir thirteen couples Just
divorced!"
—Joneisaid to a crusty old bach
elor, "What a pity that poor Billy
Smith has gone blind. Loss of sight
Is a terrible thing and the fellow's
eyes are quite sealed up." " Let him
marry then," exclaimed the waspish
old. celibate,"let him marry, and if
don't open his eyes, then his ease is
indeed hopeless."
