A ST. ALBANs, Vermont, dispatch of
May 18th says, forest fires are raging
across Lake Champlain among the Ad-
riondack Mountain region and Black
Brook Village, and the immense iron
furnaces there are endangered. Fears
are entertained of q repetition of fires
of two years ago, which prevailed for
two weeks, destroying entire villages,
valuable mills, and millions Of feet of
lumber and timber. This will ensue
unless copious rain Dor arrives.
A WILKEsBARRE special Of the 10Th
says the breaker al the Stanton shaft of
the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre coal COM
pany burned. The origin OF the fire is
involved in considerable mystery, but
the general belief is that it was caused
by the accidental ignition of gas, which
has been issuing from the shaft in great
volume since the explosion of May 7.
The original cost Of the breaker and
shaft was $780, 900. The breaker was
insured for $4,000.
A louisville, Pa, dispatch of the
21st says the fire in the Keystone mine
is still burning. and is in such a position
that it cannot be reached by water
through hose. Men have been drawing
coal all day to cut the fire off, thus far
with no apparent success. 1t is feared
that the c~olliery will have to be flooded,
which will throw a large number of
men and boys out of employment for
several months. No reason can be CIV
en- for the ignition of the veins, the sup
position being that it is part of the old
ire that was discovered in these work
ings several weeks ago, and presumed
to have been subdued.

ASA PACKER, who left $l5,0O0,0 900,
commenced business life unalded, by
learning the carpenters trade. At %
years of age he cleared a little land of
woods in Pennsylvania, and hulit a log
cabin of his own, similar to those he had
built for his neighbors, married and set
tied in life. doing odd jobs at his trade
for the neighbors, and taking his pay IN
the services or goods Of his customers.
In 1888 he moved to Mauch Chunk,
then a canal town, where he turned ms
trade to account in building a canal
boat to ply between that place and Phil
adelphia. Asa Packer was captain and
freight and passenger agent for his own

IT has been expected the Chicago,

this year be extended southwest from
Cedar Rapids, VIA Ottumwa and Sigour-
ney to Kansas City. The company is
DESTROYS Of gushing the work, but the
sudden collapse of the City of Glasgow
Bank, in Scotland, has seriously inter-
rupted the projected Improvement. The
extension was to be n part of the Du-
buque Southwestern, recently consoll-
dated with the Western Union division
of the c. NJ. & St. T. The Glasgow
Bank owned one-half of the bonds of
the Western Union, and the C. NJ. & St,
p. the remainder, and for some time
kept up the interest on bonds by large
advances. When the bank failed, these
advances stopped, and the interest de-
faulted. The road will doubtless he
placed in the hands of a receiver, sold,
and eventually pass into possession Of
the C. NJ. & st T., as the majority bond
holder. This will require time, until
when it is not likely any steps toward
an extension will be taken.
