But One or Two Houses Left to Mark the Former Site of Hundreds of Homes. the Half Clothed and Starving Inhabi tants Removed to Other Places— Oshkosh's Generosity. • Special to the Globe. 7 Maksium.-i.i., Wis., June 28. —At 11:40 a. m., Monday, fire was discovered ■ . in tlie lumber yard of the Upham Man ufacturing company. The department -quickly responded and within six min utes had three streams of water playing .on the flames. The fire started in about the center of the yard and so dry was the lumber that when the fire depart ment arrived the flames had covered three large piles of lumber, and it be came evident that no power on . earth could save the piles of lumber. Attention was turned to sav ing the Banner mills and elevator and staying the progress of the flames. Eastward slowly but surely the blaze crept back, and they, too, were . soon abandoned. The flames then went southwest -to the furniture factory, planing mill, veneer works, dry house's, warehouses and. paint shop," westward to the saw mill, and the whole of Up ham's immense plant was in ashes. Eastward they crept to Cramer & Sons livery barn and the Travelers' home, having in the meantime 7gß9ff?Bl BEACHED NORTHWARD to the Wisconsin Central water tank and the depot, the Been warehouses and lumber piles of Adam ' Haffer, S. L. Nason and M. J. Powers, and to the First ward, sweeping everything before them. Efforts were being made to keep the flames from crossing the street which was the key to the main business portion of the city. This, too, proved unavailing, the engines having been driven from the pumps, and several han dred- feet of the city hose and the hook -and .ladder cart having been burned. ; Quickly * the blaze' shaped across the street to the Central house and. barn and -the -barn of G. "Follette,* * ; ; and crept down South Depot street, tak ing J. K.

Canniver's • saloon, Sehihith's • store,- : on the corner of Cen tral' avenue and South Depot street, thence south, Then they . backed against the wind, sweeping over Fassbender's tailor shop, Thomas Mersch's saloon and residence, F.

There are about 1,000 losine amounts averaging from $500 to $10,000. Twelve solid blocks .of stores were destroyed. A dispatch to-night says that the fire burned until an early hour this morning and that but one house remains tin-, scathed. Half the . population is still there, but is suffering for. want of clothing. Supplies were sent from neighboring towns that answered the purpose temporarily, but Mayor Upham telegraphs that more provisions must be sent at once or the people will suffer. The remaining inhabitants are again camping in the woods to-night. Owing to the poor facilities for communication by wire details are coming in but slowly. It appears that when " the fire started there was • ■"■ A HIGH WIND and the flames were carried with re markable rapidity seeming almost to leap from bouse to house. Twelve buildings were blown up with dynamite in a vain effort to check the flames. Conductor Grayson, who brought through the sleeper from St. . Paul on the Central line this morning said that the only thing to be seen at Marshfield from where the depot used to stand was one house and an expanse of blackened ruins with here and there remnants of a smoke stack -and some warped and twisted machinery to show where a mill had stood. He describes the " scene :as . one - of , awful desolation, hardly relieved by the presence of human beings, as every body had left or was leaving as fast as possible. Yesterday afternoon most of the well-to-do people left for Chippewa Falls and this morning two carloads of homeless people were brought as far as Steven's Point, the railway company carrying them free. Mr. "Grayson de scribed them as a sorry-looking crowd, with nothing but the clothes they hap pened to have on at the time of the fire. Some of the men had no hats, and there was hardly a woman who had any kind of wrap, or J. shawl, they being, mostly clothed in their ordinary dresses anil Sunday bonnets, while, the children were even worse off. being barefooted, bareheaded and hungry. The. Central road has repaired its track so that trains can run right ' through again. Last night a special had to be sent up and passengers from above walked around the burned town to come through.

The loss will not exceed 880,000, and none of the individ ual losses are over 15,000. For a time it was thought that the whole town was doomed. The fire started in the reef of the Gogebic Meat and Pro vision company's. building and a brisk west wind rapidly fanned it into a roar ing blaze that spread it from building to building uirtii a dozen merchandise es tablishments, - several hotels and a boarding house were in flames. About 1,000 men employed in the neighboring mines came to the rescue, but the fire could not be subdued until a number of vacant lots were reached. Even' then it was with the greatest difficulty that buildings several hundred feet distant .were prevented from igniting, so intense was the heat. The roofs and sides of the houses were covered with wet blank ets. During the early progress of the fire it appeared so certain that the whole town would be swept away that mer chants hired large gangs of men to pack and load their goods on vehicles of all descriptions and cart them away and a number of railroad cars were loaded and engines were ready to convey them out of town had the necessity presented itself. * . - * . . *** ~~— - : * ■ Assaulted a Step-Daughter.

A n Exciting Experience. Special to the Globe. •: Omaha, Neb.,- -.: June 28.— The pas sengers on the .Union Pacific overland train which arrived here this morning witnessed a thrilling . scene yesterday morning near Pine Bluffs station, west ot Sidney. A herd of several . thousand cattle, ranging north of the track, mov ing south, were excited by a thunder storm and became almost unmanage able. While the train was approaching a thunder bolt descended in the midst of the herd and killed three .of the ani mals. This stampeded the : herd, and though a score .of cowboys strove to head .. them ..off ~ the > frightened mass rushed forward, . struggling across the track in the path of the train. Involun tarily the engineer set the brakes, but realizing that he would ditch his train if he ran slowly, he took off the brakes, threw the throttle .wide open and plunged into the herd at the rate of fifty-live miles an hour. A passenger who described the scene says the steers flew in the air in- all * directions as the engine struck them, and some struck the roofs of the passenger cars in their descent. The train passed through the living drift in safety. When it backed up to see if any of the cattle were hurt, fifty-seven dead steers were counted. NO POLITICAL FIGHT. The lowa University Regents Wanted to Infuse New Blood. ; Special to the Globe-- ■ - 'Cedak Rapids, ; 10., June 28.— regents of the lowa state university have voted 7to 3. for. the removal of Profs. Fellows, Leonard and Parker, and these gentlemen have been formally notified that their resignations would be in order. The ".professor have all re fused to resign, and are patiently await ing the "fire,','. which is inevitable. The demand of the regents; and the square toed refusal of * the ' educators * have -he-.' ; come the subject of * cons derable in terest. Discussion -has developed. the fact that when appropriations : were asked for the institution at .the last leg islature, those • appropriations •_•-. were agreed to , by. the -anti-Prohibitionist wing of the assembly, with the conces sion to them that the ultra prohibition ists professors of the university r be re tired at the earliest convenience. The professors and their friends say that the regents are now --delivering the goods,'.'. , and that they do not propose to assist in the transfer. In 1884, during the temper ance agitation, the professors took active part in the work of enforcement | of the prohibitory amendment. They were ■ mixed up as - plaintiffs * in . inj unction suits, at the head of various temperance .alliances,* and made. themselves so ob .noxious to the saloonkeepers that j dem onstrations against them became -■ open and secret, and one night the house -of Prof. Fellows - was pretty, thoroughly peppered with stones. The board of * regents ' found it 7;, necessary to pass a resolution - forbid ding '_ the members of the faculty froni further participation in liquor prosecutions. : This resolution seems to have been disregarded, and the' breach has gradually widened. 7 The •; alumni association passed a resolution express ing confidence in the professors, and .Gov.' Larrabee has opposed the action*: of the regents. But these gentlemen are endowed with the. power to do what they have done, and the professors will be obliged, to go. Mr. Matthews, the Dubuque member of 'the board of re-; gents, said: to" your ; correspondent . the' other day that the demand had not been made ;on account of - the . temperance work of the gentlemen, at all. "Prof.' Piekard resigned," said Mr. Matthews, '.'because lie felt the institute was not [making; 11. progress .it should, and he" was not in health to push it alone. The board has fell that these men, being for a long time connected with the institution, had failed to give it the _ energetic work which younger and newer life would,'; ami so Ihe matter .was brought . about suddenly, but .these; professors .knew! they might expect something like this a year ago." When asked why tbe _ gen-" tlemen were sent off in a bunch like a SAINT ; ; PAUL, MINN., WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE •. 29, ,1887. .field of horses, Mr. Matthews saidi "Each had bis friends in the -, board and of course they voted . for. him.

The alumni were in the same con dition. They passed resolutions against us," yet 7 they wanted changes, . .but couldn't decide upon how . or - where to make them. "We have a new president,' who. we believe, will push the Institu tion forward. :We pay him a salary of $5,000 a year, and to relieve him of any einbarrassmeer we wished to have him come to the university with a number of ; new and younger men to fill the various departments.

Six teen thousand dollars were offered- for the capture of the gang, and the . police : all oqer the country were on . the alert ; for the murderers. , For the past month Capt.* Hoehn has been at work in the lo cality of Alpena. The police of this city had received reliable information that the murderers were in hiding in the woods of Northern Michigan, and that they had made Al pena, their headquarters. Capt. Hoehn visited "Alpena, but found .to his sorrow that the criminals had flown. The officers of Alpena were . given. the fullest discription of the men, in addi tion to their photographs." Yesterday; afternoon . Supt. Smith received a tele gram from Sheriff Lynch, stating that : the ■ murderers were in the vicinity of Alpena. The . chief and ' Capts.

Yes terday he telegraphed that the men had returned to Alpena, and- at 8 o'clock last' night he was wired to organize a posse and capture them. * Detective Reeves also received : information that the des peradoes were at Alpena, and he and Capt. Hoehn left on the steamer City of Detroit, destined for Alpena." The offi ; cers were not aware ' that : the arrests had been made when they left the '.city.'

Mrs. Lowry lives on Hamilton street in ; this city, and her house was . raided a " few days after - the Ravenna ': tragedy." An officer was sent to Columbus on the first train this morning after requisition r papers.

It quietly became known in the , Pacific metropolis -, that he was Baron Seilliere,' and at the Palace hotel in San Francisco, and the Hotel Del Monte in Monterey he became ; a famil iar figure. ; The coquettish young women of the first circles - there very quietly christened him "the • dear baron," and being a man of " brilliant attainments, wide experience and amusing eccentric ities he became. widely known and- very, popular, v.? He also took a great fancy to California, often declaring his intention of settling there,: and though this was regarded as a joke, it was a serious mat ter to him, as lie.' went : into the United States court and . declared his intention of becoming a citizen.' Finally he left there and came to this city. In a short time he was as well known at the Hoff man house as he had been at the Palace. He * possessed enormous 7 wealth . and . spent ; his money lavishly. '• He - made quite a circle of friends . here and when he left he for Paris was very generally regretted, by . : some of the best known men in town. .These men are not" a lit tie .' excited over certain occurrences j L which are" set forth in^'a-lettertfrom one" of them which appears below.

The .He Seilliers possess great wealth, variously esti mated at from $50,000,000 to 5100,000,000. of which a large portion, in the natural order ; of tilings, would revert to the . baron, who is liberal and generous to a fault,' at times pro fuse, In his expenditures^ and who has di minished his share ; considerably.*"- To pre vent further decrease and. to get possession of the j balance,;' which • amounts . to several millions, was undoubtedly the ; reason of his imprisonment. .The - mystery - surrounding : the. whole matter and the impenetrable . se cresy as to his whereabouts increased the ex citement caused by. his disappearance. • His • friends,- thoroughly alarmed, engaged exper ienced detectives, and he was traced to an idsane asylum in- Vannes.'
