FOREST FIRBs.
Much Damage Done In Chester vaI-
ley by Incendinry flames.


ley by Incendinry Flames.
READING, Pa, April l1--0ne OF the
most destructive forest fires ever known
in Chester Valley broke out on Tuesday
morning and was extinguished yesterday,
after "a hours OF hard fighting by the
formers. The fre started ON the eastern
portion Of the North Valley hills, inst to
the rear OF Baoton station, on the Frazer
branch OF the Pennsylvania Railroad,
owned by Samuel clements and William
Weightman Of the firm of Powers Il
Weightman, of Philadelphia. A strong
northerly wind rapidly drove the fire
across the country, and, despite the
strenuous Efforts Of 100 farmers, who
worked throughout tho day, the flames
had swept over all the woodland on the
Clements and WeiRhtnan property by
night, and portion of the farms OF
Samuel Fetters, David Patrick and Allen
Snyder.
Early yesterday morning the progress
of the fire was stayed, but not until an
area of woodland about three miles square
had been burned over, causing loases
aggregating $4,000. II is generally
thought that the fire was of inoendiary
origin, and the farmers intend 10 leave
no stone unturned until they shall fnd
who the malicious person is
Mount Penn, which shirts the eastern
portion of this city, has been ahame will
forest 6tes fer tho past three days. Attel
hard fighting large force of msn stayed
the flames yesterday morning.
The greatest excitement prevailed whel
the fire commenced to work up the hill Il
where some dynamite had been stored f0
blasting purposes.

New YoRK, April laval street was
startled late yesterday afternoon by the
announcement from John Il. Davis d
90. that they would receive no more sub
scriptionG to the stock OF the American
Meat Company, and would refund the
money already paid in. The company is
a gigantic concern, owning 2,Oe0, 900
acres Of land and $50, 900 head of cattle
In the west. The president was j. Fl.
FIagler of tho Cotton Seed Trust. Il ap-
peafs that the enterprise of the company
slarmed Phil Armour of Chicago, who
saw in it dangerous rival. His firm is
heavy consumer o. the products OF the
Cotton Seed Trust, and he at once
brought such pressure to bear upon the
trust that the entire board Of managers
Of the American Meat Company resigned.
The action of Armour has caused great
indignation and the stoppsge Of sub
soEiptions is said to be unprecedented.

Editor Gazetts Dc Journal: We heartily
endorse the bill pending in our Legisla-
ture for free textbooks in our public
schools. This 10 the desiderntum among
the majority Of the citizens Of our State.
In this movement Delaware stands III the
background compared with her sister
states who have found 1t expedient and q
great benefit to adopt this method.
Those who possess family know what Q
burden or expense the purchase of school
books imposes upon them. In my own
personal experience know we'll the IT,
convenience derived from the insult
cheney OF school books and it is certainly
ann wing to teacher to hear child cry
out when be misses his lesson: 81 have
no book and my parents wont buy me
any, as they have no money" Many a
parent keeps his child home because he
is not situated in such affiuent circum-
stances as TO buy school books. There
should be either free school books OF
scholars should be compelled to use the
same kind throughout the State. It is
often the case that scholar moves in q
new community and is obliged to change
every book or purchase complete list Of
new books at great expense.

ident of the club, Tbursda morning said
in reference to the matter: Recognizing
the rights Of others and knowing their
own rights on the public streets and
roads, the members of the Wilmington
Wheel Club always have endsavored to
prevent reckless riding, not only among
themselves but also among wheelmen not
members of the club. The club has
always had strict rules for the govern
ment OF its members, which prohibit rid
ing on the sidewalks On the busintsa
portion of Market street or any crowded
thoroughfare,a and it has always impressed
the necessity for exercising extreme care
in the matter of speed, 80 that the rider
shall always have his wheel under full
control and be prepared to stop or dis.
mount in an instant. The rider in ques-
ton is not member of our club and ]
feel certain that voice the sentiment of
the Wilmington Wheel Club in saying
that it has no desire to shield any wheel.
