his respects to the great centralized Alex

usual crisp criticism Of corporation and

In the midst OF his speech the 1sTRLLl.

tho "Baker Ring" in Wheeling; the paper
was handed to him and when he read 1t to
the crowd, they set up the widest cheering

FOREST FIRES.
Great Destruction Of Property Being
Wrought Thereby.

A Williamsport (Pa.) dispatch says:
Latest reports show that the forest fires in
various places are extensive and very de-
structive. Along 1.-The Philadelphia and
Erie railroad, from Driftwood west to
Kane, heavy fires have been In progress.
Many cattle are reported surrounded by
the flames, and number Of fishermen had
great difficulty in getting out of the burn
ling territory. A large territory in the
western part of Lycoming county is burned
over, but the loss is not very heavy. In
Tioga county the fire was general. Large
quantities of valuable timber were
destroyed along the line Of the
Tioga railroad, as well as many houses,
barns and other buildings. The town Of
Thompson was wholly destroyed, including
the saw mill. Loss, over 500, 900. Seven
teen houses were burned in Bonot, entail
ing loss of $15, 600. Two million feet of
lumber was also burned. The fire is fierce
about Morris and Antrim. Considerable
pine timber is among the PROPERTY burned
in different parts of Tioga county. The
saw mill of Andrew Raul at Spring Run,
Elk county, was destroyed, with six mil
lion feet of lumber; uninsured. Reports
from Center and Clearfeld counties say that
the loss is not heavy as at first reported.
A severe wind storm and fierce forest
fires visited North Cumberland county.
The mountains for many miles are burning
and smoking terribly. Farm fences, cord
wood, railroad stills and other valuable
property were destroyed. The loss will
foot up thousands Of dollars.

On the goth the whole city of Ha-

was being visited by an earthquake. IL
soon became known, however, that the

The houses in Havana suffered severely.

MURDERERS CAPTURED.
One of Whom Makes Full Confession of
"a, Fl orrible Deed.

The Des Moines State Registers Audu-
bon Qowa) special says: The murderers
OF old man Jellorson, at this place, on Sat-
urday morning, have been captured and
are John A. Smyth and Joel J. Wilson,
sons in.law, and Cicero Jefferson, son of
the murdered man. They are now all
three in Jail at Audubon. At 10 O'Clock
this morning they were brought up for ex-
animation and Wilson and Smyth waived
examination and were remanded until
Wedne sday next, but Cicero became con-
science stricken and asked to make a state
ment under oath. He then proceeded to
make full confession regard
ing the murder and told how he
and the other two men who are
under arrest left home on horseback, went
to his father's house, took the old man
from his bed, tore off his shirt, put a rope
around his neck, dragged him on his back
over the ground ant weeds and there hung
him, Wilson lifting up his body while the
others pulled on the rope, then wrapped
the end around the body, mounted their
horses and left. They were arrested at
their homes. The citizens are thoroughly
aroused, and justice will be melted out and
no technicalities Of tie law will go down
with the citizens.
