CHICAGO, May 13-4 p. m.-The
Journals New York special says:
A terrible forest fire is raging in a Sec
ton of Berks county, known as "Ihe
Forest" one of the widest regions In
eastern Pennsylvania. "The Forest
covers an area of fifty square miles,
and unless there is rain very soon the
destruction to property will be very
great. There has been a drought
here for nearly three weeks
and the dryness of the timber, to-
gether with the wind at the rate of 60
miles per hour, cause the flames to
spread rapidly. The section being
devastated is remote from railroads,
Reading being the nearest railroad
point and telegraph station. AL
though known as ''the forest" it is
broken by occasional small valleys
containing comparatively fertile farms,
with fine buildings, occupied mostly by
market gardeners. Should any of
these valleys be crossed by the flames
there may be loss of life In addition to
the destruction of property, The fire
has also broken out on Mount Peru,
the eastern border of Reading. Severe
forest fires are reported on the Blue
twenty miles north of
Reading. The coast line in New Jer-
sey from Squam to Toms river is q

PHILADELPHIA.


Wild With Excitement Last Night-Heturn
Of the Americus and Randall Clubs.
There was great Hancock demOnstra-
ton in Philadelphia last night. The
Americus club and the Samuel J. Randall
association, escOrting the delegates to
Cincinnati, arrived in the city at about
8 o'clock. Long before that hour the
streets around the West Philadelphia
depot were thronged with people, and the
streets along the route of the parade were
lined. Democratic clubs from every ward
formed in line, and with tOrchlights,
fireworks, banners and transparencies,
moved down Chestnut street hurrahing
for Hancock. The affair was gotten up
within day or two, and was almost en-
tilely impromptu. No one looked for such a
tremendous turnout. The procession took
almost an hour to pass II given point, and
has rarely been equaled except in the heat
of a presidential campaign. Chestnut street
was ablaze with light, and the members of
the two visiting clubs were loudly cheered
rs they passed along in their neat suits
of serge, swinging their great palmleaf
fans. On every transparency the name of
Hancock appeared. The Randall boys,
undes the leadership Of Marshall McNIul-
len. and the rival Democratic, or Wallace,
faction marched in the same line, and to
all appearance the party in this city is now
united.
DiSpa tches all over the state speak of
the unbounded enthusiasm. There was
nothing like it when Garfield was nOmina-
ted, and the Democrats are loudly pro-
claiming everywhere their ability to carry
the state for Hancock and English.

MRS. HANCOCK,
Personal characteristics of the Wife of tn

Personal characteristics of the Wife of the
Democratic Candidate for President.
From the New York Graphic.
Mrs. Hancock, the wife of the general,
is few years his junior in age and as a
woman is as imposing in appearance as he
is as a man. Tall and we'll prOportioDed,
with most winsome smile, a manner that
puts you at your ease at once and pair

some face, she is still beauty, although
her hair is becoming streaked with gray.
She was married when the gen.
eral was but youEg lieutenant doing
duty in the far West. 1t was entirely
love match, and neither of them have
since regretted tin fact, their home is
one of the happiest imaginable. Mrs. Han
cock has always been opposed to her hus-
bands becoming candidate for the presi-
dency, and she is now even above the
weakness of wishing to be the mistress of
the White House. She breads the worry
of the canvass. and ii her husband is elect
ed she thinks that the honor which the po-
sition brings will be dearly purchased by
the remuneration of all domestic life for
four years to come and of his position as
senior major general and his chances of
soon becoming chief of the army. While
she prefers her own home existence, how
ever, there is no one better qualified to
play the hostess on a grand scale than she.

Gus than that wonld be. Why. my house

ton in favor of one. and could not receive
them all. l have had to refuse papers
which have been very friendly"
The governor as he talked sat in the seat
of an ordinary day car OH the Hudson
River road. The train was from the
West, and its passengers were tired and
dirty. One Of them had recognized Mr.. Til
den when he boarded the train and pointed
him out to the others, so that the old gen.
tleman as he held his mouth close to the
reporters ear was much observed. Part
Of the seat in which the governor sat was
occupied by 4 weary traveller, who slept
and snored not unmusically as the train
dashed on. Mr.. Tilden had gone to
Greystone in the morning accompanied
by Mr.. John BiglOw and two ladies
from New Orleans who are visitin. at his
house. The party ON their return were
forced to separate in the cars in order to
ind seats. The ex-governor was dressed in
an ordinary gray business suit and wore Il
tall white hat. As he walked into the
car his step was quick and firm.

hands trembled very mnch The affiiction
which has rendered his left hand for a long
time an almost useless member has ex-
tended to the arm and is now attacking his
right arm and hand, so that they also
tremhle and waver and perform their office
as though under protest. His voice,
turning toward a childish treble,
pipes and whistles in it's
sound, and the old gentleman seems
to undergo physical pain when he speaks.
His left eye is dull and apparently lifeless.

car, falling fairly upon the lead cOlOred
optic, but it seemed to occasion no incon-
venience. A moment later the same sharp
ray fell on the other side of the ex-gover-
nOr's nose, whereupOn he moved quickly.
Speaking of his health he said. in atdi-
tiOn to what is given above . Il feel that

organic disease, but am far from we'll.

If you press on too fast you will have to

arate outlet outside of tho house,

Thurman Declares Hancock to be Not Only
= Soldier but Lawyer and n Statesman.
A large meeting was held in the Colum-
bus state house yard Thursday night to
ratify the Cincinnati nominations.
Speeches were made by Senator Thurman
and others. Senator Thurman said in the
course of a long speech: ''It gives me
sincere pleasure to meet with you to ratify
the nominations made byyour convention in
Cincinnati. The nominations are good, they
will bring success to our banner the men
will be elected and their election will bring
peace and harmony. Winfield Scott Han
cock was one of the brightest, the ablest
and most daring and brave of all the SOL
diers that went to the war to maintain the
Union.
Hancock has been in the army all his
life. anil therefore you might not at once
suspect what is literally the truth, that
Hancock is not only a soldier but he is !.
can statesman. After the close of the re-
bellion he was placed as military governor
of Louisiana and Texas, before they were
admitted to representation in congress,
and to exercise their rights as states, he
showed there was such thing as the
constitution of the United States, that he
knew that there was such a thing as free
republic, that he knew that the true doc
trine of every free government is that the
military must be subordinate to the civil
power, and hence, although besieged by q
ravenous horde of carpet-baggers to lend
the aid of the military to their meditated
wrongs and expressions, he SAID no, that
trial by jury was the right of all American
citizens. Equal justice in the courts is the
right of the American citizen. Freedom
from unlawful arrest is the right of an
American citizen. Peace in his home and
peace where he is disturbing no one is the
right of an American citizen, and will not
use the American flag, or American sword,
or American bayonet, or the American
soldier to deprive the people of these rights.
That is what makes him the idol of the
people of Louisiana and Texas. That is
what made Louisiana the first state to
nominate him, months ago, in her state
convention Texas to follow, and that is
what made the stern. hard-backed Demo-
Gratis of New England throw up their hats
and say, Hancock is our man.

If the Ncu Era would only keep its
self-contradictions little farther apart
they might not attract quite SO much at
tention from the public. Its opinions as
to the integrity of Northern election
officers especially Republican election
officers-appear to be sadly mixed. In
discussing the frauds committed at the
late Republican primary election the
New Era said, IN its issue of Wed
nesday:
We know that the fraud and unfairness,
by which certain candidates got upon the
[Republican] ticket at the late election
were simply unparalleled. We
know it is susceptible of proof that one re-
turn was made in blank and filled in to
order that in another case the con-
tents of the ballOt-box as counted were not

score and that in a fourth tickets were
changed by tens in the county-all of
which, and more, is susceptible of proof
before committee Of brains and honesty
All of which, land more,' is probably
true but 1t does not very we'll accord
with the following from the Ner Era of
last evening
1t is not likely that Gen. Garfield will
carry single Southern state,
because the supporters of Gen. Hancock
will allow of no open demonstration in ia.
vor of the man oftheir choice.
Gen. Garfield, on the other hand, will
carry the loyal North upon no such pre-
text nor by any such desperate means. Nc
man will be kept from the polls or be de-
prived of the privilege of casting a free
mans ballot. The bulldozer and his shot
gun have no place at the Northern polls.
Every man, however humble, will be al
lowed to vote for the man of his choice.

Out or Its Own Mouth.

The NeU Era is sadly inconsistent even
with itself, and is in conflict with the ex-
pressed sentiment Of it's own candidate
for president. At the head of it's edito-
rial department it prints the following
very sensible extract from speech made
by Gen. Garfield
The man who attempts to get up pO-
litical excitement in this country on tile old
sectional issues, will find himself without a
party and without support"
And then, as if to show its contempt
for Gen. Garfeld's sensible saying, it
prints Immediately following it almost
two columns of editorial, the whole bur
den of which is the revival of the sec
tional issues denounced by its candidate.
Following is an extract from the Era !:
Not only are the two presidential can
didates fairly pitted against each other,
but the North and South are also drrayed
on opposite sides once more. 1t is not likely
that General Garfield will carry single
Southern state, and General Hancock will
carry very few or no Northern ones"
If Gen. Garfield is right, the Era must
be wrong, and in the language of its own
candidate will soon find itself g without
a party and without support
