MILTON MOURNS.
DEsToYED BY FIRE.

DEST0YED By FIRE.
MILTON, Pa, May IA fire broke cut at
II O. clock, to-day, in the carworks, with heavy
northwest wiud prevailing. 1t was impossible
to check the progress of the flames until the
entire business part of the town was destroyed.
II is estimated that four hundred buildings
burned, including all the churches. The fire
burned over a space of several squares in
length and two in width Assistance came
from Sunbury, Danvine, WlIiamsport Lewis
bury and Watertown. Among the buildings
destroyed are Dawsons machine shops the
afmory, academy of music, Reformed Presby-
terian, Catholic, Lutheran, Baptist and Evan
gelican churches, the banks telegraph Office,
newspaper Office, railroad depot, gas-works,
aud all the hotels. The only important bust
ness places saved are the rolling mills, nail
works, Wilson's factory, and the planning mills.
SEVERAL BODIES HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED.
but are burned beyond recognition. Two
hundred and fifty families are rendered home
less and are camping out in the fields. Sup
plies of provisions aud clothing are needed at
once. 1t is impossible to estimate the lCFs at
present.
Large quantities of household goods were
loaded on the cars and taken up and down the
roads. The fields around town are filled with
goods. During the confusion many articles
were stolen. One lady lost 100000 Of govern
ment bonds. The fire ragged so fercely in the
upper part of town most of the people
