FIERCE FOREST FIRE.
Villages Swept Away by Flames
From the Forests,

PLEAsANTVILLE, y. j., April 3d.
The fierceSt and most disastrous for
est fire ON record in Atlantic county
for many years is raging tonight
in the vicinity of COnoYertOWn and
Port Republic, and the heavens are
Illuminated like MONDAY. This morn
ing the pines in the neighborhood of
the places mentioned took fire from a
spark from an engine. The heavy west
erly wind which WAS blowing at the
time famed the blaze and the flames
soon spread to the large pines, and in a
short time the whole forest south
of Pomona was like a raging fur
mace. The air was filled with smoke
and flying sparks, and amid the roaring
of the rushing flames could be heard
the thunder of the falling pines and
oaks. The path of the fir steadily
widened, and the flames spread in sew
eral directions, completely enveloplng
the near swamps. By change of wind
the town of AbSecOn was saved from
destruction. but the fire was guided
from its old path into the midst of some
of the most valuable young timber in
the section. Gradually the flames
worked their way towards Conovertown,
and by 2 o'clock the fire had reached the
outskirts of the town. What few men
there were about seized branches, sticks
and shovels and hurried to the woods,
hardly knowing where they were going
or what they were going for. a
Panic Had Ensued
among the women in the town. They
rushed about ynadly, asking each other

Go Out To-day.
BRAZIL, Ind, April 30.-The strike
will be on tomorrow. and 1880 block
coal miners and 500 bituminous coal
miners viii be out, The eight-Lour de-
mand seems not to affect the miners Of
this district as much as other questions.
Last year the scale of prices was agreed
upon to last until May l, 1891, and, the
time having expired and no rate estab-
lished, the miners will come out
until such time as agreement can be
reached. This relates to block coal
miners exclusively, Some days ago the
operators in bituminOuS coal had meet
ing at Terre Haute, and agreed that
reduction for mining bituminOus coal of
ten cents on the ton should be made.
The scale is now five cents per ton less
than mining block. and of course most
of the operators adhere strictly TO the
Terre Haute scale, and it means a big
and vigorous strike among their en-
plOyes. IN the DayiesS county coal
field the miners. about five bundled in
number. have been out since Wednes-
day, owing to the discharge Of mine
boss.

not see their way clear to do anything.
