 and Many Are Missing.

A Terrible Ride Through a Wall of Fire The Cars Ditched Into a Blazing Furnace eff Logs-FOnr Villages Wiped Out by Fire in Michigan-Acres of Timbe, in Flames.
 CoNDERsPoRT, Pa, May II. The pretty little lumber and farming towns of Aus tin, Costello, Galeton and Moore's Run are on the verge of a panic, two especially being threatened with annihilation from fires that seem to form an impenetrable wall on every side.
 At Moore's Run, on the picturesque Sinnemahoning road, train load of sev- enty-dve milling men sent from Austin had been fighting back the fire with every means at their command. They made trenches, piled up earth, and lighted back fires, but were finally obliged to retreat.
 Hemmed in by Fire.
 The men hastily boarded the train and started to make a run to another point, when it was found they were hemmed in by the forest on one side and a huge skidway of logs on the other. It was de- cided to dash past the burning skidway and the engineer and fireman, with faces covered with dampened cloths, and their
 
 the little engine and pulled out through the wall of fire. The seventy five ex- hausted men gathered in groups on the fiat cars for protection, or lay on their faces on the floor. As the blazing fur mace of logs was approached the heat be- came unbearable and the smoke so blind ing and stifling that the men were obliged to cover their faces with cloths.
 Toppled Over Into the Fire.
 The engineer had forgotten that such great heat would spread the rails, and he pulled the throttle wider open in the hope of sooner escaping from the torment of heat and smoke.
 There was a lurch, an ominous heav- ing, and shriek as the train toppled over into the fire. The cars caught fire as so many cigar boxes would, and the men within them, half blinded and scarcely realizing anything except that they were being slowly roasted to death, struggled desperately back upon the track, where, only for time at least, safety lay.
 Those uninjured from the wreck and only smarting from the pain of intense heat turned their burned hands to aid their more unfortunate fellows.
 Slowly Roasted to Death.
 Superintendent Badger was found fas- tened down in the wreck. He had evi- dently slowly roasted to death.
 Six others also perished, and 30 others of the party were probably fatally burned. Seven men are missing and their fate is yet unknown.
 Relief parties started L the scene as soon as the news was known.

TOO MANY CHILIANS.
Pilot Dill Says He Was Forced to Take
 the Etata to Sea.

Pilot Dill Says He Was Forced to Take
 the Etatn to Sea.
 Los ANGELES, Cal, May 12.-Pilot Dill says that he had no alternative but to take the Ita"a to sea. He says the cap- tain put three armed Chilians on either side of him and remained himself with e revolver to see that he did not run the ship aground. He says he saw fifty or sixty armed men on board, but there may have been more, and two cannon on the forward deck. He was told that there were six more cannon and two Gatling guns on board.
 Dill says he is confident that the vessel would have resisted any attempt to detain her as matter of life or death. He says the Itata was veritable man-of-war when he took her out of the harbor, but had the appearance of a merchant vessel when he brought her in.
 Capt. O'Farrell of the schooner refuses to make any admissions; says he did not know he was violating any law, but re- fuses to say what become of his cargo be- yond the fact that he has a clear receipt for everything, and that he would not have been captured had he had his full crew. Federal officers are very reticent, and decline to say what orders, if any, have been received from Washington.

Newfoundland Coast.
 HALIFAX, N. S., May 12.-Advices just received from Newfoundland give par ticulars of the disastrous marine casualty which occurred on that coast. As far as the loss of life is concerned, it was the worst that has happened there for years.
 The Swedish bark Helga, 569 tons, Capt. Stutstak, bound to Quebec struck on Renews Island during dense fog and tremendous sea. The unfortunate men clung to the rocks, and, notwithstanding the raging pillows, several boats manned by volunteers, put off to attempt rescue, but no boat could reach the perishing men and one after another gave up the fight and dropped into the sea, until out of IA composing the crew, but one was left.
 This man, Alexander Alliason, after much battling with the waves, was finally washed within reach of the people on shore and kindly cared for The people of Renews have succeeded in recovering nine bodies. These included that of the captain. They were all inferred on the beach opposite the spot where the calam- ity took place. The vessel is total loss and but little of the wreck was washed ashore

AMONG HIS FRIENDS.

 falo's Citizens To-day.


 BUFFALO, N. Y., May 12-The 50th am niversary of the German Young Mems Association of Buffalo was celebrated last night in Music Hall, the home of the or ganization.

 After the orchestra had rendered the coronation march "Die Folkunger," Mir. Cleveland was introduced and made an address.
 He congratulated the association whose guest he was, praising German pluck, energy and the literature of a people who, he said, were interwoven with the growth and progress of the United States. The common baptism of blood and partner ship in peril during the late war made the German a part owner in the saved Union. Not German any longer, but Characterization, even the head of the municipality had won his way by honest industry and economy.
 MT. Cleveland received liberal applause at various points in his address.
 This morning Mir. Cleveland was given Q reception at the Mayors office. In the evening he will attend the opening of the Cleveland Democracy's new club house, and will deliver an address. Later in the evening MT. Cleveland is expected to at- tend banquet given by the German Young Mems Association at Music Hall.

HAGAN'S FIRST DEFEAT.

OA NeW JefSeys
 NEW YORK, May 12.-Jimmy Hagao. Fhiiadelphia'sc crack fighter at 122 pounds met his first defeat in the prize ring last night. Jimmy Larkius, the famous cross country runner of New Jersey, defeated nm In the fourteenth round.
 The battle took place before the mem- oers of the Granite Club, of Hoboken. an organization only recently started and composed of all the influential sports about New York. The purse was si 800,
 The men entered the ring at l0:45. Jere Dunn was referee. Walter Campbell and Jimmy Fogarty were the seconds for the Quaker City lad Tom Murray and Jack Hines attended to the wants of Larkins
 The betting was even at the start but after a few rounds were fought it was evident that Hagan had no chance and the New York and New Jersey crowd tried to coax the visitors into gambling at S1OO to $50, and finally at 3 to1.
 hagan was trained to a hairs point. Larkins, if.anything, was trifie too fine. It was one of the best battles ever seen In this vicinity, and the red paint canvass which covered the 24-foot ring was dyed in red gore at it's completion.
 It was give and take from the very start. After the fifth round Larkins had everything his own way. Towards the close of the encounter Larkins pounded his opponent all over the ring. It was a most brutal exhibition after the tenth round, and in the last many of the spec tators had to turn away, the Philadelphia lads face being mass of blood. He was Knocked down nine times in the last round, and finally out of pity Jere Dunn stopped the affair and declared Larkins the winner

LOOKS LIKE A FIGHT.

TRYING TO PROTECT THE ITATA.
If the Charleston Comes on the Scene There
 May be Conflict

The Orders to Captain Remy to Capture
 ton and Esmeralda Evenly Matched fin
 Fighting Strength-The United States
 Vessel Has a Splendid Crew. ..
 SAN FRANCISCO, May 12.-It is now definitely known that the Chilian cruiser Esmeralda is in port at Acapulco, which probably explains why the Navy Depart ment was so secretive regarding the Charleston's orders.
 < Had the orders to Captain Kenny been made public the representatives of the Chilian insurgents would have promptly advised the Esmeralda of the intention of the American government to seize the Itata.
 It is now deemed probable that the Es- meralda will cruise north toward San Lucas in the hope of falling in with the Itata before the Charleston can arrive and to protect her from seizure. In the event of the three vessels meeting it will require fine management to prevent 8 conflict
 The orders to Capt. Kenny are, it is thought, to capture the Itata in any event, while on the other hand it is be- lieved the Esmeralda will fight if sh reaches the scene in time as she has much at stake. The latter vessels com mander, a portion of her crew and part of her secondary battery are on board the Itata, which will act as a strong in- centive on the part of the Esmeralda to prevent the conveying of the Itata to American waters.
 The Charleston and the Esmeralda are about evenly matched in fighting strength, the latter having a little heavier armament, but this is thought to be offset by the fact that the Charleston is the swiftest ship and has a splendid crew and fighting commander.

In honoring the check this amount was deducted, greatly to Milan's disgust, who claimed that the State ought to pay the debt. He took the 300, ,000 francs under protest.
