FIRES. Terrible Devastation in Wis- consin and Michigan. A TORNADO OF FIRE. Over Fifteen Hundred Lives Lost. The Property Destroyed Be- yond Estimate. Destitute and Helpless Condi- tion of the Survivors. HORRIBLE INCIDENTS OF THE DISASTER. MILWaui Oct. 16, 1871. From various persons who ® just returned from Northern Wisconsin and Michigan it now appears the wildest rumors and imaginings which have prevailed, have, for days past, fallen far short of the actual reality in describing the 103s of life and property in THESE DEVASTATED REGIONS. The chairman of Relief Committee sent from this city staves that on arriving at Dashligo harbor he found a considerable number of those who had fled from the village, seven miles up the river, many of whom were seriously burned and all deptorably destitute. At Peshtigo village there remained only @ few engaged in searching for and burying the dead, The fire which destroyea Peshtigo occurred on the evening of the 8th inst., and history has never furnished o parallel of its terrible destruc- Uveness, Shortly after the church going people had returned from evening service, an ominous sound was heard, like the distant roar of the sea or of a coming storm, This increased in intensity, and soon the inhabitants became alarmed and appre- hensive of coming danger. BALLS OF FIRE ‘were observed to fall like meteors in different parts of the town, igniting whatever they came tn contact with, By this time the whole population were thoroughly aroused and aiarmed, and caughce up their children and what valuables they could hastily seize and began to flee to a place of safety. Now a bright light appeared in the southwest horrizon, gradually increasing tlil the heavens were aglow with the hight. But a few moments elapsed after this before tho horrible tornado of fire came upon the people and envelopea them in flames, smoke, ovurning sand and cinders. Those who had not now reached the Tiver or some other place of safely were sulfocated and burned to cinders before they could aavance a half a dozen steps further, THE CHARACTER OF THE FIRE ‘was unlike any described before. It was a fame fanned by a hurricane and accompanied with vari- ous electrical sparks, while they saw electrical flames flash in the air and dance over the surface of the earth around them, but the fury of the flash was past in half an hour, though the fire continued to burn more or less during the whole night. The full effects of the storm were not apparent until daylight returned and the survivors coula come forth ircm their retreat, TERRIBLE INCIDENTS OF THE DISASTER. Aparty of 150 fortnnately ran together upon a low meadow below the bridges and were all saved. A family of five persons saved themselves by jump- ing into a shallow well. Another family of the same number were all suffocated by a@ like resort, A large number threw themselves into the milipond and sustained themselves by clinging to the boom and floating logs, at the same time con- tinually wetting their heads to prevent them trom roasting. Many children, and some only a few months old, were kept in the water all night and yet survived, Many others were drowned by being trampled on or thrown from logs by cattle and horses that madly rushed into the waters to escape the flames. EXTENT OF THE CONFLAGRATION. The tornado came from the southwest and swept over a tract of country eight or ten miles wide and of indefinite length. Timber in ita course was felled by the hurricane and burned by the fire, and every vestige of fence and buildings was swept away, with two or three exceptions. Sometimes the wind struck the earth with such force that the small undergrowth was torn up in winnows. At other times it would skip away from the earth, The population of Peshtigo and vicinity ‘was 2,000, and fully one-third of these perished that feariul night Marinett, six miles eastward, on the Menominee river, is the city of refuge for the Pesh- tigo sufferers, and the Dunlap Hotel has been con- verted into @ temporary hospital for over fifty or the sick and burned, Many others are distrivuted among citizens of the village. About fifteen per cent of them are so badly burnea that It Is impos- sible to recover. Others will be able to return to business in & month’s time or less, The burns oc- curred most frequently on the feet and hands and face, and nearly all suffer from the exhalation of hot sand and cinders and from tue usual pulmon- ary complications of burns. STATEMENT OF AN RYE-WITNESS, The editor of the Menominee Herald, just from the scene of the disaster, says that on the flat, near tie river, the poor creatures were gathered, many of them so disfigured as to be unrecognizable, Han- dreds layin thelr agony, with perhaps a plece of tent, a few boards or a blanket on sticks, as a pro- tection, and often entirely unprotected—helpless, groaning, miserable human beings—many of them disfigured for life, and some destined to drag along afew miserable days or weeks ol existence and then die, Twenty-one persons were burned to death by the same tornado of fire the same night in the little vil- lage of Birch Oreek, adjacent, OVER FIFTEEN HUNDRED MEN, WOMEN AND CHII- DREN have been burned to death in Wisconsin alone, ‘Their houses and farms are toa large extent utterly destroyed, the very soil having burned up and de- stroyed all thetr autumn and root crops, They are destitute, and will require full support till another season. Seven counties in our own State are thus in great part desolated, Whole regions of country in Western Michigan are in the same condition, Fires are still raging and destroying. The loss of itfe in Northern Wisconsin {ts more than FIVE TIMES GREATER THAN THAT OF CHICAGO by the late fire, and the suffering of survivors destined to be infinitely greater from the sparsely setuled condition of the country and its remoteness from populous and wealthy communities, The loss of property there can only be computed by millions, embracing farming utensils, houses, barns, grain, fences and lumber of every kind in every state of mauufacture.
