A FIERY TRAN

FIRRY TBAry
Along the Erie EilwaF track
the rails st one place wegs twisted
out ot shape and the ties burned
The hest was 50 intense that is
.boTers could not repair the dsm-
age for hours. THE trains, hoa-
ever, suffered no long detention.
The Cincinnati express train east
ward. bound from Summit. rushed
through 8 sea of flame and smoke
for nearly s mile. the road he'd
previously been tested by an ex-
ira engine. Although the train
had been wet and prepared for tha
passage. the glowing heat blistered
the paint and the windows we're
stained with smoke. The enaineer
and treman were slightly singed.
ROASTED ALIVE

and calamity ret reported occurred

the dying day the fire had reached
the base at the West Mountains.
and before nine O'Clock had com
pletely enonelsd one Of the promi-
nsnt peaks as with q girdle Of fire.
The flames roared and cracked
with horrible sound as theY swept
up the hillside The glare bril-
hantly Illuminated Che whole adia-
cent region "a party of sports
men returning through . gorge on
the opposite side heard shouts and
cries ct distress, apparently pros
ceeding from the flaming forest.
Looking MP through tho and
smoke they thought they disoov-
cred the forms Of 4 man and W0-
man upon 9 rocky height, swaving
their arms Ia and fFo The cries
continued, and one of the party is
sure that he afterw as eanght i
glimpse of 4 child in tha Woman's
arms. Soon after, the walls of fame
shut out all view, and the cries
ceased. The hoTi6ed Witnesses,
driven away bv the heat to i great

possible, bat neither saw nor

From the New York World.
TH@

From the New York World
Additional intelligence in regard
to the great forest condagralions
in Sullivan, Orange, Delaware.
Dutchess and Madison counties Of
this State has been received. Never
before have these mountain fires
raged SO f1riouslY Of extended over
'so large an amop2t Of territory.
1T is generally believed by persons
hYing Ia those c6dnties, that the
confagration was started by the
hand Of an incendiary. In those
regions where the 6ras broke b
live many persons Sho are Gallo
GYpsies, who reside In shanties
which have been erected in remote
hooks on the m0usstain side and
other solitary places that are sell
dom reached By TIE more civilized
world. These Gypsies are de-
scribed as a thriftIess community,
having no regard for, and, there
fore, no love for the industrious
farmers and wo0dslnen who i've
near them, and it IS believed that
they set fire to the underbrush,
well knowing that the flames would
extend To the forest proper and
spread many miles in extent
THE LOSS.
Usually these fires, which more
OF less occur every spring, have
been confined to districts 81 limit
cd extent and value, but this spring
they have ravaged thousands Of
acres Of valuable woodland, de-
stroying millions of trees and cords
of wood, logs, ship Joints and bark.
The loss, SO far as 1T has been as-
certained, is estimated at over
SIS, ,000,0 not one cent of which
is covered by insurance. For the
most part, the fires have been con-
fined to the mountains, but have
covered in their march an extent
| Of territory one hundred miles ia
length. The Sullivan county for
ests have been burnt for @ distance
of twenty miles. E4le Delaware
oount woodlands have been de-
vastated some fifteen miles. In
both Of these localities the fires
are sll raging. In Orange county
the ming tempest has spent its
strength, and the mouDtain ridges
and hillsides are q smouldering
waste Of land.
