an HOEORED NAMES DISGRAC
FROM HIS ABANDONED WIFE

ATLANTIC CITY, August S1.-Robert
Ray Hamilton received a dispatch early
this morning that took him in hurry by
the 9:25 train for Philadelphia. He had
not been gone long when dispatch came
to the NOll Cottage from Mrs. Hamilton
asking him to come to her to-day. Ham
ilton seems more cheerful. He evidently
begins to hope for the ultimate release Of
his wife. He does not tell any one his
plans, but there is no doubt scheme is
working to get her out of Jail. 1t will not
be surprising if the charge against her is
not pressed. If money can do it it will be
done. The impression among those who
claim to know, is that Hamilton wants to
get the woman out of this trouble, after
which he will have the separation. Mrs.
Hamilton does not understand why Ray
does not come to see her and she has ex-
pressed fear to Mrs. johnson, the sheriff's
wife, that she was getting left. The nurse
is steadily improving.

Wipe Out Farms and Towns In the North
West.
HELENA, MONT, August 31.-Those
who have never travelled over the section
of this country known ss the Northwest
can have no idea of the vast area which
the prairie and timber fires have covered.
Starting away up in British Columbis,
In the Koulenai country, four weeks ago,
owing TO the parched condition of the coun-
try (no rain of any consequence having
fallen for ninety days., the fire travelled
with great rapidity, passing south through
Montana, into Idaho, extending into Wash
ington and Oregon on the west, then south
again into Wyoming and Colorado.
MoNTANA's HEAVY LOSS.
Montana, perhaps, has suffered most, as
the fire ran along through through the
prairie country to the Dakota line, crossed
the main divide Of the Rockies, set the
bitter roots ahame, worked into the noun
tains near Phillips, destroyed the timber
and did great damage in the National Park.
But if the prairie fires are disastrous, the
forest fires are doubly 60. Granville
Stuart, one of the best authorities in Mon
tana, estimates the loss by these fires in
Montana at 500, coo day. Thousands Of
acres of virgin timber land have been de-
nuded and thousands OF cords of cut wood
destroyed.
A dispatch from Port Huron, Mich,
says: Port Huron is surrounded by
forest fires and considerable damage has
been done, with promise of still more
disastrous results if the drought, which
has lasted two months, should continue.
The Petit farm, within the city limits,
has been completely burned over, and
the fences and much property destroyed.
A barn and contents on Lspeer avenue
was burned to the ground, and the grand
pavilion in Pine Grove Park was COM
pletely destroyed. Other barns within
the city limits were burned Thursday
night.
