OF the homes OF inhabitants was accomp-
anied by heavy loss to the lumber firms
having saw mills at the places named.
The loss to these firms on buildings and
machinery amount to over 100000. In
addition to this, an amount not easily to
DO reckoned has been lost in the destruct-
ion of the forests. At present there is lit
tie hope that the fire can soon be- stayed,
and the entire lumber district OF four or
five counties is at its mercy. There has
been little rain this season and the coun-
try is in the same condition it was in
when il was devastated in 1871.
Thompsonville is not entirely out of
danger, but the citizens are back-hring
around the town and doing everything
possible TO prevent it getting into
the village. Warren's log rollway,
eight miles north of Baldwin, is in
imminent danger should the wind shift to
the north. Today several hundred come
from the country with the same story
that OF losing all buildings and their con-
tents, and escaping with what they had
on their backs.
Last night Mr.. Johnson, near Branch,
left his home for short time, and on his
return found his barn and outbuildings
were in a short time TO be destroyed. He

II is pitiful sight 10 see the condition
in which women are placed. The towns
along the Frankfort x Southeastern rail-
way are in danger as the fires are reported
along the entire road. The fires west OF
Manistee junction are out and no more
danger is feared in that direction. Ste
vens' camp, six miles west, suffered a
large loss after hard fight for
three days. In some cases assistance
has been asked of railway companies
for fire sufferers TO beltransported 10 places
where they had friends, they not being

The fires in the woods this year have
been fully as disastrous as those in 1871.
At Boyer Station, three miles from here, a
tract six miles long and three miles wide
has been burned over, destroying every
thing. Four farm houses and barns were
burned.
At Paris the entire town has frequently
been called out to fight the fire in order TO
save the town. The poor settlers here
abouts have been driven from home, saw
ing absolutely nothing.

HUNTINGTON, Pa. MAY 12-Over 1000
acres of valuable timber lands are ahame
within a radius of seven miles OF this place
end in distant parts OF the county the
wood land is being swept away at an
alarming extent. The mountain fires are
beyond all human control and can only be
extinguished by a rainfall The farmers
in the whole burning district have sus-
tanned irreparable lose to fencing and
hundreds OF acres OF growing grain have
been ruined.
BELLEFoNTE, Pa, MAY 12.-Dam age
done by forest fires that have been raging
throughout the county have been some
thing enormous and incalculable. Along
the Buffalo run road, through nearly
every patch OF timber the fire has ragged,
burning miles and miles of fences, orch
ards, valuable standing and cut timber
Near Pine Grove Mills the new house and
barn of John Neidigh were burned,
though 200 yards from the woods. 7. b.
Orders large saw mill, logging camp, a
large amount of cut timber and about a
mile OF tramway were burned. At Paddy's
Mountain on the Alieghepies several log
Benner run camping association, were en-
trely d strOyed, besides large quantities
If valuable standing and cut timbers.
The fires still continue TO rage with un-
abated fury on many places not already
burned over, it being a hopeless task to
fight them. The entire wild cherry crop,
where it is generally very large, is also en-
tirely destroyed. The entire loss cannot
as be estimated, but counting the damage
to standing timber it will run into the
hundreds Of thousands of dollars.
Reports from Belleionte, Pa, state that
fires have been raging in that vicinity for
four days, several lumber camps, farm
houses, saw mills and an immense stretch
OF lumber have been destroyed. The
damage to property is estimated at $780, 900,
with incalculable loss to growing timber
Fires are still raging along the Alleghenies
Reports from Bradford, Pa, SAYS the
woods are still burning steadily, consum-
ing thousands OF feet OF cord-wood and
threatening isolated houses and mills.
A dispatch from Warren, Pa, says the
fires which have been ragng in this Sec
ton since Saturday afternoon are about
out. Over one hundred oil rigs have been
destroyed so far as known and many tanks
of oil and small buildings. Wages at the
rate of SIPS per hour were freely offered
for men to fight the fire.

of the face are related to and exhibit the
signs of the five superior systems of the
body, viz. the vegetative. the thoracic, the
muscular, the osseous and the brain or

systems was quite lengthy and resulted
in an exhaustive thesis on the five

their signs. Without following the line of

MS mother, sister and brother, which had
occurred suddenly within four days.
The people who happened to be in the
corridor of the hotel at that hour were
startled to behold man at the book-stand

assistance, and the suddenly bereayed man
was carried TO the adjoining stairway,
where restoratives were applied, and he
soon recovered consciousness.
After explaining the cause ~ his emo
