Another Town DESTROYED.

SUNBURY, May 14.-The town of Mil
ton was almost entirely destroyed by fire
today. The fire started in the finishing
room of the car works in the northern
section of the town. An alarm was at
once sounded, but before the engines
could get on the ground the entire works
were in flames. The wind blew gale
in the direction of the town, and soon
the fire was beyond all control. Aid
was telegraphed for and the Sunbury
fire department was soon on the ground.
The wind was veering in different di-
rections and it was impossible to do an
effectual work, and Broadway and For
est streets, the business part of the town,
were soon wrapped in flames and the
fire swept on and on until it reached
the open country at the southern end of
the town. In the meantime the Will
Transport, Danville, Watsontown and
Lewisburg fire departments had arrived,
but the wind continued so high that
they could render but little service and
only a few houses here and there along
the track of the fire could be saved. All
the hotels, churches, two banks, opera
house, telegraph Office, the Mitonidn
and Independent weekly printing Off
ces, all the business houses with two
exceptions, and the depot, altogether
about 400 houses, were destroyed. The
body of one man burned to crisp was
found. Two women and several chill
dren are reported missing. About 600
families are homeless. Aid has been
rendered by the citizens of Sunbury,
Lewisburg and Watsontown to the
destitute people. Large quantities of
household goods were loaded on the cars
the fields around the town are filled with
goods. During the confusion many
articles were stolen and carried away.
One lady lost 100000 in government
bonds. The fire ragged SO fiercely that in
the upper part of the town most of the
people barely escaped with their lives.
The wife of DR.. Cyrus Brown is badly
burned and several others are known to
be severely injured. The scene was one
of great confusion, hundreds of people
pouring into town from every direction.
The fire was gotten under control about
six o'clock. The loss is variously esti-
mated from one to two millions, but no
accurate estimate can be given tonight.
The mansion of Ex-Governor Pollock
was destroyed. The only important
business places saved are the rolling
mill, nail works, Wilson's fly net facto-
ry and the planning mills.
An Appeal for Aid.
KARLSRUHE, Pa, May 1.-THE fol-
lowing dispatch has been sent to the
Mayors of the cities of this State:

and all the necessities of life. / would
suggest that you call a meeting of your
citizens at once to furnish Immediate
aid to the stricken people.
HENRY M. HoYT, Governor.
In response to the above appeal q
meeting was held in Harrisburg and
nearly two thousand dollars was at once
subscribed and a committee was ap-
pointed to solicit subscriptions, A train
carrying supplies was sent to the relief

Terrible Powder Explosion.

DEADwooD, ID. T., May 1l.-An ex-
plosion of five boxes, containing nearly
one hundred pounds of giant powder,
occurred at the blacksmith shop of the
High Lode mine, at Central City, this
morning Instantly killing Samuel Kim
ble, foreman of the mines, and Joseph
Trubill and Jonas Gilmore, employees
The bodies were most fearfully torn to
pieces. The country for an area of a
mile square was strewn with small frag-
ments of flesh and ruins of the shop.

Ten Dollars Found.

The death of Judge Blackman, of
New Haven, revlves an old story about
how he was once fooled by his son Sam
uel, q regular hard case. The judge one
day found ten-dollar bill in the street
and gave it to Sam, with orders to put a
little " found" advertisement in one of
the newspapers, leaving the note with
the newspaper proprietor for identified
ton. Sam went down street in the di-
rection of newspaper office, but stop
ed on his way at the office of lawyer
who was one of his boon companions
They arranged little scheme, whereby
his companion made out "lost" adj
vertisement fully describing the bill,
and went with it to the newspaper office
were Sam was destined. Ten minutes
latter Sam took his " found" advertise
ment to the same Office, only to be told
that the owner had already been there,
and to be referred to his friend as the
proper claimant. Returning to the Of
flee, he told the judge, who said: " Re-
turn the money to the loser by all means
you were lucky to find him." Whereat
Sam and his chum had a quiet little
spree off the proceeds.
Eas~ The Cecil Democrat gives the fol-
lowing in relation to one of those rascal
ly lightning rod transaction One day
recently farmer living near Lewisville,
just across the line in Chester Co., Pa,
was called on by lightning rod man
who expressed an ardent wish to furnish
his buildings with the latest improved
and safest lightning conductors in use.
His price was high-about Sl50-and
the farmer declined. But the agent per-
sisted and gradually reduced his price
until he reached $1S,when an agreement
was concluded and paper setting forth
the stipulations signed. The agent then
left, with the understanding that his
workmen would be along shortly and
put up the rods. They arrived but the
farmer learned from them that the price
was to be $3.50 instead of $19, refused to
allow them to proceed with the work.
nclI lOIculdn illbisbSu tAub Vic ldTLucl
signed contract for $3.50, and declared
that he would, in spite of him, put up
the rods, or leave them on the place
The discussion became more excited
The farmer armed with an axe and the
foreman with pistol, faced each other
But the farmer was in earnest. The
lightning rod man saw it and sought
salty in retreat. Fearing that he might
return and leave the rods the farmer
chained his gates. Two of his neigh.
bors, residing in this county, we have
been informed, were victimized by the
same or another party of swindlers.-
Not having as much pluck they submit
ted to the imposition. AS our informant
remarked, they probably don't read the
papers, and consequently are not up to
the tricks of rascally peddlers.
