FARMERS COMBATING FLAMES The
Meadoaos Of Ne,o Jersey Swept by Flres.-An
extensive fire was raging In the meadows a
mile south Of New Brunswick last evenin 2,
and was being rapidly driven before strong
wind toward New Brunswick. Farmers
were actively engaged combating the ele-
ment, but with apparently slight success.
The great drought has rendered the stubble
along the Pennsylvania railroad very in :.
hammable, and sparks from locomotives
are starting numerous fires. The Hacken-
ensack meadows have been burned over;
the Bear Swamp, near Lawrence, has been
burning for two weeks, and fires are raging
IN greater or less proportion along the entire
line. Fortunately the farmers have Sc
cured all crops that could be injured. AS
yet no destruction OF buildings or property
other than fences has been reported.]M Y.
