three O'Clock on that afternoon near the
some dry brush N near the railway Vai track from
spark OF freight engine. In consequence OF the
severe drought now prevailing the woods are as
rapidly. The breaker was in imminent DANGER
but was saved by the exertion of the miners and
by the presence OF large piles OF coal dirt In front
OF the breaker; The flames swept on until they
reached village, Economically situated on
mountain slope, named Quality Hill, consisting OF
nineteen cottages, occupied by the employees OF the
Hickory Coal Company. These, with their con-
tents were SO quickly DESTROYED that the inmates
had barely time to escape with their lives
One hundred people were in short time
rendered homeless. The loss is estimated at
$4,000. The scene was frightful-the immense
mass OF surging flames, the fleeing women and
children, the terror-stricken population forming a
picture which may be imagined but cannot
be described. The fire extended from this
point east and west, and Is still raging with
undated Jury. About three square miles Of wood;
land have thus far been destroyed, and several
towns in imminent danger of destruction.
Rain is earnestly hoped for to stay the progress
