as compared with the corresponding
month of last year, shows gain of
9.s per cent. by Southern roads, IA
per cent. by the Eastern roads, 6
per cent. by the Pacific roads, 8 per
cent. by the Southwestern, Al per
cent. by the Changers, 1.6 per cent.
by the Centcral Western, and de-
crease of 3 per cent. by the trunk

West yireinia's Raw material.
Wheeling Intelligencer.

- -3--6 C4iieClCtl
West Virginia is making rapid
strides in coal mining and lumber
ing, and this development will go
on increasing year by year. Our
coal and coke add to their reputa-
ton in the markets of the country
as they come 10 be better known,
and our forests are attracting more
and more attention of lumberman
as fast as they learn what we have
here worth coming for. But this is
not enough to satisfy West vir-
ginia's pride and turn to account
these raw materials. The hard
woods and the coal of West yir-
ginia, found largely in the same
area, suggest more profitable en-
ployment for capital and industry.
A larger part of the product of
our forests should go to market in
advanced manufactured forms. No
State affords such facilities for the
manufacturing of furniture, wag-
ons, carriages, cars, pulp, paper,
the countless implements made of
hard woods, and indeed the whole
range of wood working from do
mestic materials. 1t is in the
highest sense economic folly to
send the coal of West Virginia and
her hard woods to remote points to
be used in the manufacture of
articles which we consume at home
and which must therefore be
brought back to us over, perhaps,
the same lines of railroad. to say
nothing of those products which
could easily find a ready market in
this growing country.

Yesterday had been indulging in that
trick well known to railroad men as
loafing, that is, stealing Roadway from
his follower on the line in order to cor
raj more passengers and thus be enabled
to turn in more money to the company.
The horses weren't urged a bit, and
finally passenger, who was evidently
an officer of the road. became aware of
the scheme. He made voyage TO the
front platform.
do you know that you are about
minute and a half behind timer" he
asked of the driver.
''0i guess not" said the imperturb-
able horse persuader.
"0b, yes, you are, and you'd better
get along"
''0i guess not" came from the brake
twister.
"Well, say you are, and you'd bet
ter stop loafing- Do you know that it's
rule on this road for every conductor

The gentleman produced a magnifi-

his coat, reached around himself. buried
himself nearly up to his shoulders in a
rear pocket and produced a small alarm
clock about the size of pork pie.

present at reception to Mr.. Blaine,
then republican candidate for president,
rendered at the Fifth Avenue hotel in
New York by several hundred ministers
of various denominations. DIR. Bur-
chard was there and had been chosen
to address Mr.. Blaine in behalf of the
clergy, who gathered in the grand cor
ridor of the hotel on the second
floor. Mr.. Blaine was escorted
from his rooms on the third floor
down the staircase in full view
of the clergymcn and others who had
gathered to greet him. Pausing on the
staircase half dozen steps above the
corridor floor where the throng was,
Mr.. Blaine stood and waited the adj
dress of welcome. DR. Burchard
left his colleagues and assembled the
staircase to the second step below
Mr.. Blaine. Then DIR. Burchard spoke,
and as he neared the close of an adj
dress of affectionate regard and esteem
for Mr.. Blaine he used practically these
words: "And we admire and we well
come you, Mr.. Blaine, as a steadfast
opponent of rum, Romanism and re-
bellion."

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Sept. 2s.-Dis-
patches from Carleton, Milaca. Hinclx-
ley and Pine City state it has been rain
ing at all those points for the lasi
eighteen hours and that the forest fires
are everywhere under control. There
has never before been fire of the mag
nitude of this one in this region: The
whole country has been swept by
the flames, and everything has been
burned outside OF the towns. except
that a few lumber camps were. by great
exertion, saved. Thousands of tons of
hay have been cut on the lowlands
about the lakes and this is all destroyed.
For miles and miles on every side there
is nothing but a blackened waste.
A dispatch from Williamsport, N. D.,
the county seat of Emmons county,
says the property loss there has been
somewhat exaggerated, but will reach
100000. Three persons were burned
to death in that county-Henry Tabor,
living near Williamsport, and George
W and Clyde c. johnson, farmers
living near Beaver Creek. A report
from the Holland settlement on the
Missouri, north of Bismarck, says three
farm hands were burned there. The
loss at that point is about $50, 0Oo.
Whole herds of cattle hemmed in by
the awful confagration were burned
to death. The prairies are strewn with
carcasses.
Hundreds of families are homeless
and penniless, and in many instances
they had to flee from their abodes with
only the clothes on their backs. There
is certain to be great suffering this
winter unless assistance comes to them
from outside sources. The fire which
started this great conflagration was set
by thrashing machine.
TURTLE LAKE, Mimi, Sept. 2S.-
Word has reached this village that the
family of MIR. Nesse, farmer living a

children, were hemmed in by the flames
and no doubt burned to death, as no
help could reach them.

Reports from the east fork say that
forest fires are raging in that vicinity.
laundering camps, timber and hay are
being reduced to ashes, and even the

seeking the streams for a place of safe
