Fires in Dakota.

SCOTLAND, ID. r., April 3,-Another ter
rible prairie fire swept over the country
south OF Scotland yesterday afternoon, and
its path is marked by the smoldering en-
bers Of many homes tonight A very high
wind prevailed all day, and with the grass
as dry as finder tho terrific force OF the
FIRE is beyond description. At s o'clock
word was brought TO town that the prairie
was aflre northwest OF town, and imme-
diately hundred men started in teams to-
ward the approaching fire, filed with
brooms and sacks. Arriving at Alfred
Browns farm. two miles north, all his
barns, diaries and cattle-sheds were one
blazing mass, and tho efforts Of the crowd
were directed 10 saving his residence and
beating the fire out that would in n short
time have swept down upon the town.
Browns residence was saved, but all his
household goods that had been carried out
by the family were burned. One mile
north OF Browns the fire burned Henry
IIageliry out OF every earthly posses
sion. His house, barns and stock
we're consumed, and he barely es-
capped with his family. Across from
HageIfry lived u. X. Tomlinson, pros
porous farmer, and everything about his
place except his house was swept away.
Five houses and several head OF live stock
wore among his losses. His wife was home
alone when the fire broke out, and could
do nothing TO save the property. by even
ing the fire in tho west had been extin-
guished. but II is still raging in the south
east. The town OF Oliyet, the county seat
of Hutchinson County, eight miles north,
is reported 20 be more than half burned
up. The bridges on the railroad west OF
the town were burned. The losses for the
last two days will be fully $4,000.

CLEVELAND, July PA special from Bry-
an, Williams county, Ohio, brings news OF a
terrible tragedy near Edgarton Hiram

second time, after having made up last Sep
tember. The wife sued for divorce and
went 10 live with her father, Farmer New

milk the cows, and he seized her with his
lei hand and with his right he fired three
shots into her breast and left her for dead.
Mr. Newman heard the report of the shots
and started in the direction of the barn.
when he met Hoadley, who at once shot the
old man three times in the breast, one bali
passing through the heart Hoadley then
pursued his mother and younger sister

the other in her mouth, and then shot him
self, inficsing wound from which he died

Secretary BiaIne's Health.

BAR HARBoR, July 1s.-Judging from q
visit paid 10 Secretary Blaine to-day at his
cottage by correspondent, il is unhesitat-
ingIy stated that the Premier is anything
else than sick man. He was exceedingly
busy with an immense amount of cores
pondence, which he had just begun TO dis
pose of when called upon. Shortly before
he had returned from long drive and when
asked about bis health he replied that he
had uniformly declined for the past five
years to affirm or deny anything concerning
his health. He would not interfere with
the enterprising correspondents of certain
newspapers, who, about once in sixty days,
set ahoat some astonishing stories in regard
TO his physical condition, the stories being
generally concocted by persons who had
never spoken TO him. Mr.. Blaine said these
gentlemen were welcome TO the field with
out any form of correction or denial from
him. Mr.. Blaine can be daily seen on the
streets. either walking or driving.
Walker Blaine said there was not the slight
est foundation for the story OF his father res
ianation, nor for the III oit ty,n that he con

PrTTsBuRG, Pa, July Is.-At the hearing
to-day Of the bill in equity filed by the Ar
mold Coal Company to have the Pennsylva-
MIA Saw Manufacturing t=mpany, at Ma
trona, restrained from allowing noxious va
pors to escape into the air from its works, 50
as to be destructive TO health and vegetation,
Professor 5. 2. Langley testified that these
vapors were exceedingly injurious. Trees
died as though smitten by the wrath Of ON
impotence Vegetation OF all kinds, not even
excepting the Canadian thistle, soon wilted
and the plague was worse than that Of To-
Gusts, destroying even roots. Grapes We're
ruined, it was alleged, even after they had
escaped contagion to the stage offull growth.
DIR. Langley testified TO an analysis offresh-
fallen snow and to finding it impregnated
with copper. lie had also hung towel COW
cred with pure glycerine against the side Of
barn two miles distant from the works
and thus found the amount and character Of
precipitation at that distance. lie had put
the fumes into an atmospheric condenser
and found large quantities OF copper He
added also that the island near Natrona is
liable to be deposited into the Gulf of Mexi-
co, as the trees and other vegetation whose
roots protect its banks are being destroyed.

Horses in aFurnace.


New YoRK, July 2l.-The big livery,
boarding and storage stables of Moses Well
at S0I. 5O6 and SU5 East Eleventh street were
burned ~ the ground early this morning,
rs horses perishing. The stamping and
snorting Of the Gagged brutes were heard a
block away, and many brave, bu. Intellectual
attemps were made to rescue them. The
fire started shortly before o'clock, and
twenty minutes later the buildings were a
blazing furnace. When the struggles of the
doomed horses were the greatest, and it was
perfectly clear that not one Of them could
be rescued, big iron gray gelding on the
second fiosr Of the building was seen darling
to and fro in front OF the iiame-ligbled win
dows, The fire was burning iiercely in the
rear and the staircase was see.hing. The
crowds in the streets stood gazing at the
wild struggles of the poor beast and all were
as silent AS death when the horse suddenly
stopped before one of the windows, and,
rearing on his hind legs, thrust the forepart
ofhis body through the window. His fore
feet hung over the sidewalk, his nostrils
were distended and his eyes seemed to be
bursting from his head, lie renamed there
for several minutes looking imploringly at
the crowd, and then when the flames began
touching him he dragged his body back into
the building. Shortly after this the front
wall Of the building fell out, and the dead
body of the poor brute tumbled into. the
street
The fire broke out in the cellar. A delay
in notifying the fireman caused by the
walchman running some blocks to inform
his employer that his place was on fire, in
stead of sending out an alarm, gave the fire
tremendous headway, and though the fire.

pletely Quilted. The ncighborhood being

ted, and il was necessary for the police to
clear the street, which was filled with half
clad people. This was hardly accomplished
when the front wall of the building fell into

were caught by the flying bricks and slight
ly injured.
In the burned buildings we're stabbed 12s
horses. Of which only three were rescued.
Of l5O vehicles of all &c ,rptions, 80 were
entirtly destroyed. The loss on stock is
$4,000. The horses were valued at $4,000
and the building at $4,000. 1t will probably
take week to remove the carcasses Of the
horses and in the meantime energetic meas
ures will have 10 be adopted by the health
board to make the neighborhood fit to live
in. DR.. I.enahan, acting chief of the disin-
fecting corps, has issued orders to send
large quantity OF disinfectan,s to the place.

LascAsrER o., July 2f.--one Of the most
disastrous storms ever known in the Hook
ing Valley eliminated in the breaking Of
sharpe's dam, at Sugar Grove, on the Hook
ing Canal, yesterday. The dam held in
store large body OF wster that supplied the
lower levels OF The canal. The heavy rains
had filled the reservoir TO the banks, when,
suddenly. the dam gave way, and with a
mighty roar the sea Of water went out
through the valley, taking with it every
movable object For 20 miles the soil is
plougiIed up. Trees, fences, crops and hun
dreds Of head OF live stock have been swept
away. No lives were lost because the people
had taken warming and because the houses
are situated ON the bluff that overlooks tie
valley. But the canal for miles is a wreck,
and thousands OF feet of railroad track are
washed away.
At Athens the Cincinnati, Washington
aud Baltimore and Hooking Valley Rail-
road tracks are carried away, and trains will
be delayed several days. Roads and bridges
are annihilated, and the whole valley for
miles looks ike a dry water course. Com
pesent judges place the loss in the hundreds
of thousands

Mother and Babies Perish.

YOUNGSTOWN, o.. July ls.-The dead bod
les of Mrs. William G.lchrist and her two
daughters. Violet snd Ivy, aged two years
aud five years respectively, were found at s
O'Clock this morning lying in Yankee run, a
small stream six miles north of this city.
They were the wife and children of well
known stone contractor in this city. Mr..
Gilchrist kissed his wife and children good
bye last Tuesday morning, his wife saying
they would go on short visit TO relatives
in Sharon, Pa. Five hundred and fifty dol
lars that was in the house, Mrs Gilchrist
took with her, saying she would deposit il
in Wick Bros bank before she left, but the
the deposit was never made The only ex-
PLANTATION of the affair is that The unfortn-
nate woman lost the money and was crazed.
She was seen, accompanied by her children.
al O'Clock last night near where the bod
les were found, walking about in an aimless
manner, avoiding any persons who might
approach. The water in the creek was only
ten inches deep, and the crazed mother must
have drowned one child at time. and then,
clasping one in each arm, lay down and end
ed her own life.

The Market is Ours.
Philadelphia North American.

Philadelphis North American.
The failure of the wheat crop in India and
Russia is almost certain TO give the United
States the command of the markets OF the
world. India it appears, will be no factor in
the worlds food supply this year, while
Russia and Austro- Hungary, the two great
exporting countries of Europe, will hardly
have enough wheat to supply their own
wants. Roumania and eastern Germany
will also be unable 10 export wheat this year
and the shortage will be so great that the
United States will have the European mar
ket completely at her mercy. 1t is true that
England, France and Spain will have crops
above the average, but they will not have
nearly as much as they need for themselves.
England, France and Italy must always buy
wheat, and til s year they will get none from
Russia or Austro-Hungary. and little or
none at all from India. so they will have TO
make their purchases almost entirely from
US. Should the wheat crop here be a failure
prices would jump to enormous figures but
in spite of the expected shortage in North
Dakota and Montana, II is fairly probable
that We shall have sufficiently large crop
TO supply the world without stiniing the
home market

DURING the tariff debate in the last
Congress, the Democratic orators went
into spasms over the danger threatening
the country by reason of the immense
surplus accommodating in the National
Treasury, which must result in a strin-
gency in the money market, and con-
sequent panic and general bankruptcy.
Nothing, they cried, would avert this
threatened calamity but a reduction Of
the tariff. which would diminish the ac-
cretion of useless revenue being collected,
locked up. and kept out OF the channels
of trade. Now comes the declaration of
Secretary Of the Treasury Window, that
money is not tight that although the
price he has established for four percent.
bonds makes them now yield the hold
ers only about two per cent, the holders
will not sell them, and that the surplus
is only S57 600, 600, Of which but Si4,O00,-
600 is absolutely in the Treasury, the
balance being in the banks, to be used
10y the people. There is nothing like
time and facts to dispel and overthrow
Democratic free trade theories.
