5000 Acres of Firo-NiIes of Fencing
Burned.
About I o'clock Saturday afternoon a
freight train passing eastward, when one
a half miles from Deer Park, Long Island,
threw out some sparks, which fell unno-
ticed upon the ground among the leaves
and twigs The whole country was parch-
ed; the ground even was dry inches below
the surface. The sparks fell in bed of
leaves that had been collecting for the last
quarter of century, and bed of gun
powder could not have been moro easily
ignited or more combustible. This was
the commencement of ono of the most vio-
lent and disastrous CONGREGATIONS which
ever has occurred on Long Island, SO cele-
bratcd for its almost yeally fires, and the
fact that the country through which it
swept was in that which had been preserv-
ed for quarter of q century by its old
former owners. With such rapidity did it
travel that no one dared stay to work in
the woods or near them enc instant. 1t
was half mile wide, and had eaten its
way furiously over that space. Wild
game, rabbits and foxes hurried before it
only to be overtaken and devoured.
Those few that escaped to the clearing
were so terrified, that not noticing the
approach of man they would permit them
selves to be picked up and handled with
out a motion of resistance. The area over
which the flames spread was about 1900
acres, most of it covered with fine trees.
The scene when the flames were at their
hight was terribly grand, and the noise of
the rushing flames among tho dry and
crackling timber was appalling.
Judge Barnard.
The feeling of the English stockholders
against the judges of our Supreme Court
for their rulings in the Erie litigation and
their treatment of Mr.. Burt, is now very
bitter. By nearly every steamer Judge
Barnard receives threatening letters. The
last reached him to-day, addressed $50 the
Hon. Justice Barnard, Imagined Justice
Of the Supreme Court" Then follows in
very large letters and ample underscoring,
From swindled English bondholder."
Inside, the writer expresses his opinion
that many better man than Judge Bar
nard has been in the prisoners dock, and
his determination to watch the Judges
case and see what he wonld come to. He
asserts that his Honor IS notorious swind-
der and robber, and was SO well known
and 50 well appreciated in England that if
he would only call there he would receive
a very fine reception, and suggested that
if the Judge would hang himself the world
would be rid of tremendous pest.
