THE NEW YORK TIMES, September 5, 1894

* Hinckley, Minnesota Fire
* Town Destroyed


This 12 page issue has one column headlines on the front page that include: "STILL THE CALAMITY GROWS", "The Number of Charred Corpses Now Estimated At 450", "Utter Desolation In A Score Of Towns", "Stories Of The Survivors", and more. Coverage on the fire that destroyed the town of Hinckley, Minnesota, in which 440 people were killed. Lengthy text continues on page 2. Too much to photograph all here. Nice to have in this famous NYC title.

Other news of the day throughout. Light browning, minor margin wear and archival mend on page 2, should be handled with care.
