EXTENSIVE fires are now ragin G in
the mountains. The Chambersburg
Repository of Monday says:
"The largest mountain fire that has
occurred in this region for many
years is now burning on the South
Mountain. 1t is confined to the
ridges north of the Gettysburg pike,
mostly on the Caledonia Furnace
property and adjoining lands and is
over eight miles long. 1t was plain
ly visible from here last night, and
looking from Third street the whole
southeastern sky seemed TIC be illu-
minated. From this distance it look
ed as if there were two fires, but the
men on the Mont Alto road say it is
a solid stretch OF fire. The flames
could be seen shooting up above the
mountain tops, and the whole valley
was filed with smoke and burning
leaves. The destruction of timber
must be something enormous. The
opposition fires which have been
started have not availed much and
nothing but heavy rain will bring
relief.
"Another large fire is burning on
the North Mountain, between Mer-
cersburg and Clearsping, Md, and is
spreading rapidly. No further trou-
BILE has been had at Richmond Fur.
