Fighting the Flames.

PITTsToN, May 10. : The mountain
tires around this place are raging to an
alarming extent. A large amount of tim
Der and railroad ties have already been de-
stroyed. The Latin powder mills are
threatened and the men have turned out
in full force and are fighting the flames
desperately. AT Moosic, where other pow
der mills are located, every effort is being
made to save the buildings from the flames.
Unless it rains soon the destruction of prop
erty will amount to an enormous sum.

A womau's Mistake.

A correspondent at Newburg N. Y, re-
ports q singular trial that has just ended
there. The parties to the suit were Cor
nelius Cahill, o good-looking young man
about twenty years old, and woman
whose maiden name was Ann Bevington,
Ann, who is not exactly prepossessing In
appearance, looks TO be between thirty-five
and forty years old, but says she is only
ttwenty-four. Last month Cahill learned
that Ann claimed to be his wife, although
she testified that they we're married In
June, 1878, In st. Mary's Catholic church,
the Rev. Father McAuley officiating. 1t
was celebrated at twelve o'clock noon, and
the bridesmaid was friend named Gath
arine Costello. Ann swore positively to
these facts, aud said that as soon as the
ceremony was over the pair parted and did
Nnot meet until a week after. She had had
marriage certificate, but had lost it. Re-
Gently she began proceedings against Cahill
for failure to support her. Cahill fatty
contradicted the story. He said he is a
single man, and never married Ann Bev-
ington or any other woman. In fact he
did not know Bevington, had never spoken
to her, and only knew her by sight. When
he learned that Ann claimed him as her
husband, they had conversation about it.
Rev. Father Brady, present pastor of st.
Mary's Church, Montgomery, testified that
he had diligently searched the record, and
could find no such marriage recorded. Had
there been such marriage it would GER
tainly appear Catharine Costello, the al
legged bridesmaid, testified that she had not
acted as bridesmaid, and had never been
asked to. Cahill was discharged, the evil
dence not showing the woman s assertions
70 be true.
