THE wILLIAMsPORT RUIN.

"A Scene OF Destruction Along the Track OF
the Philadelphia 4 Reading.
WLLIAMsPoRT, Pa. june 7.-Advices
coming in show that the loss of property
has been very heavy at all places near here.
Morris, Tioga County, is total wreck.
Many mills, dwellings and other property
were swept away. The Pine Greek rail-
road has suffered greatly. The track was
torn away and large part of the bank
was washed out all along up to Black
Wells and beyond. At Salladasburg much
damage was done. Houses and mills were
flooded and in some instances moved and
greatly jured. The plank road was torn
up, bridges were carried away and other
destruction caused at every point.
All along the line of the Philadelphia &
Reading track through this city des-
truction meets tho eye. Many cars were
lifted from the tracks and torn to pieces.
the number of houses taken away or top
pied into heaps of rubbish can not yet be
stated, but it is quite large. Along the
entire river front going west from Pine
street debris is piled even into the heart
of the city.
Word has been received from the Cres-
cent nail works, on the Northern Central
railway, that the place has been nearly
all washed away. The population took
refuge on the side of hill and are left
entirely destitute.

Seattle, wash. Ter. vIsised By /. Destr-s.
tive Flre-The Losses Reaching 1nso the
.SEATrLE. Wash, June Fire broke
out at $3.50 p m. yesterday in Pontius'
building on Fourth street and by $3.50 p
m. was raging over . district of i've or SIX
blocks with tremendous fury. The wind
was from the north and the direction of
the fire was along the water on Front
street and fron the latter to the big brick
block between Floyd and San Francisco
streets. The indications were that the
whole business portion of the city would
be burned away, involving loss of mil-
lions, as the magnificent San Francisco
store and other stores in q row were ON
fire and the whole big block seemed
doomed. The local 6remen were helpless
in the face Of the calamity and tele-
graphed in all directions Tor aid.
At 4:30 the confagration was rushing
through the heart of the city. To add to
the peril q smart breeze was blowing of
the bay, tanning the flames, and at about
the same time a thousand feet Of hose was
caught in the advancing blaze and de-
stroyed.
The opera house block, the block OPP
posite, all the warehouses at the foot OF
Columy street and also the great group OF
buildings In the rear of the POST Intelli-
gence newspaper were then burning, and
the people in the Vester block, occupied by
the Western Union Telegraph Company
and the Post-Intelligence, were hurriedly
moving out.
At that time the Western Union had but
one wire undisturbed. over which the dis
patch was sent.
At nine p. m. thirty lone blocks had been
burned in the very heart of the city and
there was imminent danger Of the loss OF
about twenty blocks more. The fire was
not at all under control and had reached
the great coal bunkers. Should these be
destroyed the flames were certain to be
communi Gated to a large number OF
wooden buildings and the loss increased
many fold.
At ten O'Clock the loss was Sc. 600, 900
and one-third of the business por-
ton Of the city was destroyed. The whole
lower part Of the city was burning There
was danger of q total loss of the business
portion. Flakes of flame were flying over
tho city and small fires were breaking out
at many points. The flames were making
their way down Front street toward Five
Points where the buildings were of wood
and close together. Every bank, hotel
and place OF amusement. all the lead.
ing business houses, all the newspaper
offices. the railroad depots and miles of
steamboat wharves, coal bunkers and
freight warehouses and the telegraph Of
fees were burned. The city is literally
wiped out except the residence portion on
high ground.
A stiff breeze was blowing strong from
the northwest when the fire began and
soon got the best of the firemen. The
water supply gave out within two hours
and then the flames had a clean sweep
Word was telegraphed to Tacoma and a
train started with fire apparatus at 4:35
p. m, reaching Seattle in sixty three
minutes. The ocean steamers Mexico, for
San Francisco, and Ancon, for Alaska,
escaped destruction by pulling out in mid
stream.

strike diagonally on the piers. The dam
made by the gorge at the bridge is what

Johnstown the water has picked up four
track railroad covered with trains, freight
and passenger and with machine shops, a
round house and other heavy buildings
with heavy contents and has torn the
track to pieces-twisted, turned and
crossed it as fire never could. It has
tossed huge freight locomotives and cars
like packing boxes-torn them to pieces
and scattered them over miles of territory.
It has in one place put a stream OF water
. city block wide between the railroad
and the bluff and in another place IL has
changed the course of the river as tar in
the other direction and left a hundred
yards inland the tracks that formerly
skirtod the banks.

in A BAD FIX.

The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engin-
GERS Exercised Over Chief Arthur.
CHICAGO, June There is trouble in
the ranks of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers. Chief Arthur is a candi-
date for reelection and as such has been
making a quiet canvass of the various
lodges of the brotherhood. Last week a
secret meeting for this purpose was held
in this city. There were upwards of two
hundred members present, representing
lodges in Illinois, Michigan, Indiana,
Iowa and Wisconsin. A member
of the general grievance COM
mittee got the floor and address,
ing Chief Arthur said: Your speech
this morning pictured our organization as
impregnable and resistless. Now. sir, If
you believe that such a state of things ex-
ist you have been incorrectly informed of
affairs. The truth is, a reduction of wages
is expected to be made before long on a
number of Western roads. Such action
we do not propose to accept. We desire
to know whether in the event of reduce
tion being ordered you would sanction a
strike" Chief Arthur replied: "Under
no condition of circumstances of which
can conceive shall ever sanction another
strike. In the first place l am opposed to
strikes on general principles. In the
second place, to strike would be suicide,
for owing to the large number of
unemployed engineers in the coun-
try, it would take but short time to fill
their places" Chief Arthur stopped and
the meeting adjourned. Murmurs of dis
content have been heard ever since. I'VE
are in a bad fix and no mistake" an en-
gineef said Last Thursday our chair
man, Hurley, of the Alton. was informed
by a committee Of fremen that should the
engineers strike the fremen would take
their places. That was due to the I'M.
friendly feeling OF other labor orders to-
ward ours. Something must bs done to
change things. We must cooperate But
Arthur frowns on ali suggestions of fed
GRAFTON. The first thing to do is to knock
out Arthur, and that will be done in Octo.

company's refinery at St Louis, We're

sion occurred which seriously in jured the
two men and steamhtter named
John Gavin. They were standing directly
over the vat whom it exploded, and were
thrown to the ceiling above and covered
with the boiling hot lard. Lewis, in ad-
dition to being badly scalded, had his
ankle bone fractured and received two
dangerous wounds about the head. Ply
sicians, however, think there are chances
OF his recovery. The injuries Of the
others, while serious and exceedingly
painful, are not considered fatal. The ac-
cident is supposed to have been due to an
over pressure OF steam.
