Severe Blaze in Wheaton, Ills.

WHEATON. Ills, April %. This pretty
town experienced a paroxysm Wednesday
morning when it was found that block on
the east side of Main street and in about the
center OF the town was on fire. The wind
was blowing gale from the southwest, and
the flames, which had undisputed sway,
soon spread so that in fifteen minutes Saur's
hardware store, Bixby's restaurant and gro
Gerry store, and half dozen other buildings
were on fire. There was no water and &c
fire apparatus. A dispatch was at once sent
to Chicago. By the time the Chicago relief
got on the ground, however, six buildings
were on fire, including one residence.
Engine No. = and its crew, which was
sent from Chicago, made remarkable
tins. The run from Chicago was at the
rate of mile minute, and the time from
the first word of appeal to the moment when
the engine began playing on the fire was
sixty.minutes.
By noon the fire, although still blazing,
was still so far under control that there was
no danger of the flames getting beyond the
block in which it started. The loss is put at
about $50, 900 on buildings and stock

The Jersey People All Out Fighting the

in the Island of Java Hundreds
of People Perish.

LONDON April 23 -Advices just received
from Batavia on the island of Java report
the recurrence of volcanic disturbances A
recent volcanic eruption in the district of
Passarveau almost entirely devastated the
place. Thousands of dwellings and planta-
tions were destroyed, and it is feared that
hundreds of the inhabitants have persisted.
1t is reported that but few hundred per-
sons have been lost, but there are appre-
tensions that perhaps even thousands are
dead. When the first reports were re-
ceived concerning the earthquake that oc-
Cured about two years ago it was said that
but few human beings had persisted,
though as the remoter territories were
heard from the aggregate Of the deaths
swelled into the awful total of at least
100, 900. At that time entire districts were
submerged and the inhabitants drowned
For a month after the occurrence the sea
was dotted with fostering corpses which had
floated out from the shore. Landmarks
were obliterated and the topography of the
country so changed that one extremity of
the island was unrecognfzable Smaller
islands disappeared and others were forced
above the surface of the water, and naviga-
tors found it necessary to have new charts
constructed that they might sail their ships
with safety.

Destructive Forest Fire.


PHILADELPHIA, April 23 Forest fires
are raging in portions of Camden, Glouces-
ter, Salem and Atlantic counties, New Jer-
sey The little town of Jericho, Salem
county, is surrounded by FIRE Its inhabit-
ants have chopped down trees, set fields of
brush ablaze, and filed the roads round about
with clay to check the advancing flames.
Old Salem county has not for years seen
more splendid or terrible spec
tacle of fire than that which is now terrify
ing little Jericho. 1t has been in view
almost continuously since Saturday. Flames
iarting through great volumes of smoke
have been quite discernible for miles even
in daylight, and at night all the heavens
have been made red with the blaze For a
time the little town of Quinton, with its two
glass factories, a number of shops and blocks
Of neat houses, in which it is said
the prettiest girls in New Jersey dwell, was
threatened. The population turned out to
beat back the flames, but the course of the
wind changed and there was no further dan
ger to the town After about 500 acres of
timber had been destroyed, the flames were
brought under control Around Woods
mill, on the road to Jericho, the
flames are creating great havoc, and
all the farmers are fighting it, The
villages on the Camden & Atlantic,
the Philadelphia & Atlantic, and
the West Jersey and Atlantic roads, known
as Pleasantville and Absecon, have, Tor
thirty-six hours, been threatened with de-
struction. At the latest report the wind
was not blowing toward Absecon. but
should it veer toward the northwest nothing
can save the village from destruction. The
school-house, a wooden structure, is situated
on the very edge of the woods; the Meth
odist church, not far distant, is as
close to a luxurious growth of timber
and shrubbery. A dozen other frame build
ings are contiguous, and great anxiety existed
as to the direction the wind might take.
Nothing but the hardest sort of work saved

burned over Is enormous. At Old Harmon

A Grand SHOW.

Flyers Circus and Equescurriculum
performed last evening for the first time
in this city, and at once scored a great sue
cess. The large tent was completely
filed by an audience who went away
more than satisfied. Whatever was
down on the programme was fully carried
out, and not hitch occurred. The first
part consisted of series of gymnastic
acts and musical specialities, which were
cleverly done. Len Shilletto, as a mus
zeal nomus, was particularly good. I'm
doubtedly the hit of the evening was Mr..
Flyers trained horses, goats, and dogs.
It is wonderful to think that dumb ami
mails can be trained to such perfection as
witnessed last evening. Eight pretty
little ponies went through military drill
with great precision, and drew forth
tunlultuons applause from the audience.
Afterwards they played hide and seek,
danced, skipped rope, played see-saw,
and one fired off small canon placed on
his back. while another leaped over,
the later leaplng through hoops. One
very amusing thing was the erection of a
gallows by two dogs, and the hanging and
funeral OF small dog which had been
detected stealing a collar. This fairly
brought down the house. The perform
ance concluded with an amusing act,
Circus Riding Exposed" showing how
young boys are initiated into the art of
riding in the ring, The only drawback
OF the evening was the wretched music,
which it is to be hoped will be improved
upon. The second performance will be
given this evening, when there is no
doubt another large audience will be in
