FIERCE FOREST FIRE.
villages Swept Away by Flames
From the Forests.

PLEAsANTvILLE, n. 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 ina
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 fir1 steadily
widened, and the flames spread in sew
eral directions, completely enveloping
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 shQyels and hurriedt to the woods,
hardly knowing where they were going
or what they were going for. A
Panic Had Ensued

South for Pleasure.


South for Pleasure.
CHICAGO, April 3O.-The B. p. Hutch
inson incident, so far as its effect on
values is concerned, has disappeared
from the board of trade as suddenly as
did that erratic individual himself.
Before the opening of trade this
morning, official announcement was
publicly made to the assembled
operators that all of Mr.. Hutch
inson's open trades would be as
sumed by Z. B. Congden & Co. This
prompt action on the part of Mr.. Hutch
inson's family and friends at once elm
mated all speculation as to the aged
traders wanderings and his probable
fate or future course as TO his open
deals, and put decisive quietus upon
some little cllque5 of spectators who
were preparing TO depress prices inwheat
and corn at the opening, so that every
thing opened firm and rather steady.
Frank Maginn, one of Mr.. HutchinSOn'S
confidential and most trusted brokers,
said to an Associated Press reporter
this morning that. allowing for the mar
gins already up, Mr.. HutchinsoE's
trades OH the floor showed more profit
than losses; III other words, that his
open deals when settled would leave
HIN part of the margins already up

Maginn, 4" is somebody to look
hf;er his deals as they mature and
close them up. They will take care of
themselves" The members of Mr..
uutchinson's family have thus far re-
ceiyed 10 word from him. His son
Charles said this morning, however,
that his father is in Florida, and that he
had traced him as far as Pensacola, and

dents. Young Mr.. Hutchinson added
that his father, as a result of an eXami-
nation of his affairs, was found to be
thoroughly solvent. Aside from his
open trades, which have been trans
ferred, he owes nothing to speak of and
is well Off.

A STRIKE IMPROBABLE.
Ohio Miners Likely to Obey the
Mandate of Their Leaders.

COLUMBUS, o., April 30.-The deter
mination of the executive board of the
United Mine Workers and the presi
dents of the state organizations at their
meeting in this city the first of the
week to defer the strike in the interest
of the eight hour labor day, does not
seem to have definitely settled the ques-
ton even among the miners of Ohio.
The executive board also made a propo-
6itiOn to the Ohio operators that they
would continue at the old rate for min
ing and accept a nine hour day for the
coming year beginning tomorrow. a
meeting of the operators was called at
Columbus yesterday and they are
still in session refusing to
accept the proposition of the miners un-
less they can have some assurance that
the agreement will not embarrass them
to such an extent that competing fields
like Illinois and Pennsylvania will beat
them III the market. The Ohio miners
also convened this morning, and a COM
mittee has been appointed for confer
ence with the operators. They do not
expect to conclude business before to-
morrow. The operators have made a
proposition they will pay the present
prices, 20 cents for the Hooking valley.
with other districts on the usual graded
scale IOr Ill6 SldIe, II the miners Will
concede the point in regard to the nine
hour day, and leave that open so as to
give the operators in certain places
an opportunity to meet competitors.
The miners of Ohio vary in their days
work from three to four hours accord
ing to the district. There are no re-
ports indicating strike, and the lead
ers confidently expect compromise
before the conventions adjourn in this
city, Some of the miner delegates to
the state convention representing
strong districts are disappointed over
the action of the executive board of the
United Miners in pQstponing the strike
for the eight-hour day. There is a much
stronger sentiment in that direction
than has beenreported, but the national
officers expect their course will be in
dorsed. There is nothing, however, to
Indicate the miners in any field of the
state will go out tomorrow, and no
other line of trade have made prepara-
tioDs in that direction, having been led
to believe the miners would take the
initiative.

WILL GO OUT TO-DAY.
The Pittsburg Builders Exchange
Will Lock Ont Strikers.

PITTsBURG, Pa, April 90.-The pro-
gramme for the long-threatened strike
is that the carpenters shall quit work
tonight for $3.50 per day of eight hours.
They now receive s2.75 for nine hours
work. The stonemasons of the city
who are now on strike will also go out
for the eight-hour day and 45 cents per
hour. Members of the Builders ex-
change have signed iron-clad articles to
refuse the demands of the carpenters
and when the strike occurs to lock out
every carpenter who strikes. They
have agreed to lock out all other
branches of the building trades, be-
cause they are all closely allied and
work under system of federation. The
situation is not nearly so alarming as
many business men would believe. 1t
is estimated that there are about 5000
workers III the various building trades.
The marble cutters believe their scale
will be signed. They have agreed to
extend the time until next Monday.

Go Out To-day.
BRAZIL, Ind, April 30.-The strike
will be on tomorrow, and 1880 block
coal miners and 500 bituminous coal
miners will 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 a
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. lu the Dayiess county coal
field the miners, about five hundl ed in
number. have been out since Wednes-
day, owing to the discharge Of mine
boss.
