WORK OF THE FLAMES.
A Thriving New York Village
Swept by Fire.
Pitiful Scenes at Carthage---A Cam
adam Village Destroyed,

The destruction and restitution wrought by
,he big fire at Carthage, n. Y, is described in
The following account:
The Carthage fire was the most disastrous
That has ever visited this part Of the State
1t began in a row manufacturing buildings,
IN the west side of the Black river, and the
heavy wind blew sparks for half mile
across the river to the two islands which
were filled with manufacturing institutions.
Everything on the islands was burned and the
fire struck into the resident part of the
town and swept the buildings from about
saventy-live acres. One hundred and sixty
dwellings, were burned beside the manufac.
turing institutions, and the Episcopal, Presby
terrain, Baptist and Disciples churches, town
hall, academy and all other school buildings
The fire spread so rapidly that very little
household goods could be saved. The fire de-
partments from Watertown, Lowville, Boon
vile and Utica responded to the
call for help, but as the fire would
appear in a dozen different places ut
one time, the engines were of little avail.
There were 100 dwellings on fire at the SAM
time. The people worked hard for several
hours to save their property; then they be
came panic-stricken; and all night hundreds
OF them were roaming the streets, or lying
i'll spots which the fire had not touched, every
DiuNO VI SuclltI Ill Jllb NllilSt DGlllB nllcl
with women and children. A large number
of people were brought to Watertown, where
they had friends to care for them. 1t is i'm
possible to correctly picture the scene during
the afternoon and night. Strong men were
weeping and women and children were cry
ing as they realized that everything they pos
ses ed was being swept away. The manufac-
tui'ers cannot resume without outside help.
People are thus thrown out Of employ
ment, with the loss Of all they had, and they
will have TO suffer unless aid is rendered Over
$1,000 was raised in one hour in Utica, and
contributions came pouring in from surround
ing towns. No one was burned to death, but
a score of people were badly burned, includ-
ing firemen. The loss will foot up over half
a million dollars
a fire started by some people who were
clearing bush land spread to the village of
Chlorydorme, Canada, de stroying all the
houses and boats of the place, and rendering
about twenty families homeless. The people
at first sought shelter in the woods. but were
soon surrounded by flames and obliged to flee
to the sea coast They were utterly destitute.
The fishery along the coast having been very
poor this season, the neighboring villages
could render but scanty aid to the unfortu-
nate sufferers. One family was reported
as missing.

wealthy farmer of that locality, was at Mrs.
Davis house, and when he heard the report
he ran to the door and as he appeared, another
flash was seen and his body was perforated,
He died the next day. In a few moments
Mr.. Davis came upon the scene and the fright
full sight met his gaze.
The whole neighborhood was aroused and
the country was secured. His uncle, Dorsey,
a man seventy years old, wa, heard making
threatening remarks and he was arrested, and
the woman who is nearly sixty was arrested
rs an accessory The evidence against them
accumulated, and il developed that he killed
his niece through personal venom and shot
Jones. through mistake for his nephew The
excitement was SO high that the couple We're
conveyed TO Centre for safety. But the pop
ular Indignation broke forth again and they
were taken from jail and both were hung

Like a peaceful Ute stealing up
through the sheltering ambush tc saw
open the throat of dear friend, comes
the ring-talled peeler of the sky, scarcely
moving the green leaves as he steals
along the valley on his hind legs. The air
is like the atmosphere of death. No
sound is heard except the dull thud of
the Woodlands axe as it burries itself in
the heart of Il pine tree that belongs to
some one else. The sun has dropped
behind a dull, gray cloud that is faced
with pale green. Still lower down the
steel gray and purple clouds come boiling
over the tree tops. The tree toad makes
a few desultory remarks, katydid says
good evening"" and the premature
twilight has come. Up from the south
west comes a sullen mutter, a crash, q
roar, like twenty oceans in joint caucus.
the rush of falling trees, the crash of
giant hailstones, the thunder of falling
waters, and like the deadly charge OF
heavens artillery, it is over. That is a
cyclone-one of the adult variety when
it is feeling well When you see one of
that kind sliding up into the sky, do not
try to twist its tail as it goes by. 1t takes
strong, quick man to reach out ovel
the dash board and twist the tail of a
cyclone. He must be strong in the
wrists, cool headed, and soon in move
ments. -Dencer Opinion.

THE GENERAL DROUGHT,

Closed and short Crops Caused.

An officer of the signal service at Washing

continued drought, that during September it
existed in all sections east of the Mississippi
valley and in Texas. General rains
have fallen during October in Tennes-
see, the Ohio valley and lake re-
gion, but the drought has continued in the
Middle Atlantic, South Atlantic and Gull
States. The little rain that had fallen has
not been sufficient to do any good to the
crops in these sections. AT Atlanta, Ca
rain had not fallen for over two months

in that vicinity will fall short forty per cent

Saved by a Load of Hay.

A Bradford PENN correspondent of
the Philadelphia Times writes 81 tell
you what, boys, I've railroaded it for
years and been mixed up in all kinds of
disasters, but hope to croak right here
if l want to be the eyewitness again of
such an awful sight as | saw day or two
ago.
The speaker was brakeman on the
Erie.
"a day or so ago, he continued, ga
tall and handsome woman got into the
ladies' car at Dunkirk With her was a
bright and interesting boy, possibly two
years of age. The child laughed and
crowed and played with the passengers.
When the train left Cattaraugus the
woman, who seemed nervous, got out of
her seat, picked up the baby and started
for the rear end of the coach. A short
distance east of Cattaraugus is long,
deep gulf, over which the railroad has
built high trcstle. The distance from
the top of the trestle to the wagon road
below is perhaps one hundred feet. A
sharp and short curve leads to the trestle.
As the train rushed over the gulf a
woman's piercing shrek was heard. l
looked and saw an object leap from the
platform into the rocky gulf. That OBJ
iect sir, was the lady passenger, and in
her arms closely claspcd to her breast
was her infant. l pulled the bell-cord
and the train came to halt. How it
happened l cannot say, but at the time
the woman jumped load of hay, drawn
by pair of oxen, passed under the
trestle. Mother and child landed squarely
in the center of the hay and were thus
saved from horrible death. The farmer
was so Mortified that he jumped from his
wagon and darted up the hill. The
woman, who was not hurt in the least,
said her name was Mrs. Adam Sell and
her home in Michigan. She was or her
way to visit friends in the oil country.
Hers was indeed a miraculous escape.
Mrs. Scell said that she could not explain
her action. When near the car door she
was seized with an insane desire to jump
from the train. The farmer, as he drove
along, was thinking of his dead wife and
daughter. When the visitors came
through the clouds, as it were, and
landed on his hay he thought that the
dear departed had come back to earth to
revisit him.
