Devastation by Forest Fires.

New YORK, May 1.-THE most de-
structive fire of many years is raging N
South Jersey. Tine great pine region and
cranberry bog district from Pleasant
Point and Bay Head, on the north, down
to Egg llarbor, sixty miles south, and
from the Atlantic to points from thirty
to forty miles inland, is being swept by
lire. Thousands and thousands Of acres
or pine and cedar timber have been
burned, many towns have been threat
ened, dozens of houses have been de-
Stroyed and fears are entertained for the
safety of the people in the devastated
country. SO dense is the smoke that
hangs over the burning forest that
farmers going from town to town
have to grope their way along the
roads. Rain has not fallen in weeks,
ana the inhabitants are unable to check
the spread of the lames. At many
places the residents have been forced
to flee to the open country to save their
lives, leaving their household goods
behind to be burned. At one place a
sick woman, covered by watersOaked
blankets, was carried out of her burning
home in her bed. AZ rough estimate
the loss will be over 81 900, and many
farmers Will be impoverished. Forest
fires are also reported in the mountains
about Reading Pa, and in the vicinity

Mysterious Occurrence Savoring OF the
Supernatural.

BENNETTsvILLE,S S. c., May There
was mysterious occurrence in Ben
nettsville few nights ago, which has
puzzled the most philosophical minds.
Many theories have been advanced, yet
the mystery remains unsolved. Doors
and windows are barred at night; noe
turnal pedestrians ambulate the streets
with lighted lanterns; the cracking of
a twig or the rustic Of the wind causes
| a sudden halt and rapid pulsations Of
the heart. The colored people are
alarmed beyond description, and are
daily expected to institute general
exodus from the town.
For two months Mr.. L. G. Emanuel
has been living in Mr.. st. u. Coving
tons housei in East Bennettsville. This
is comparatively a newly settled place,
splendid building, surrounded with
sweet and luxuriant flowers, situated
III one OF the most desirable neigh6or-
hoods in town.
On the night in question, Mr.. Eman-
uel and wife had just retired, but had
not gone to sleep. The moon was
shining brightly, everything being quiet
and serene. About II o'clock, the re-
port of what seemed a gun was heard
at the bed chamber window. The shot
was plainly heard falling in the room.

any methods. He has plenty Of nerve
and scarcely can be frightened by Or

that some one had accidentally shot in.

port. at the same place, was repeated.
Mrs. Emanuel was terribly fright
cned. Her husband lowered the lamp,
rushed to the window, threw open the
blinds, and discharged his pistol in the
direction of the ground. For a minute
or two all was quiet, when suddenly,
IN his room, near his trunk, in rapid
succession, two reports Of what seemed
to be pistol shots, were heard. After
Il short interval there were two reports
under the house, directly under the bed
| room, and just at that moment the
house shook and crockery ware ratified

MIR. Emanuel says he was sure that
Judgment day had arrived, and that he
had no other thought but that in short
time he would be facing the Immacu-

house at once, and the place is now un-

The WAR in Cnllo.

WASHINGTON, April 3O.-Rcar Ad-
mwal McCan, in command Of the South
Atlantic Station, has sent the NAVY De-
partmcnt long report, dated Caldira,
March 81, In regard to Chilean affairs.
The Congressional deputies Uhe insur-
rectionary chiefs,) he says, had their
headquarters on board transport in the
harbor Of Iquiquc. During the forenoon
Of the 18th, while the Pensacola (his
tlagship) was at Iquique, the insurgcnt
man of-war Esmeralda, and the tr ms
ports Aconcagua and Maipo put to sea
to attack AutOtagasta, with about 800
troops on board. The ironclad B!anco
Encalada was blockadng Autoiagasta
at the time. The Chilean officers sta
ted that it was the intention to attack
and capture africa, then blockadcd by
the HuaScar.
The admiral, in his account of the can
turc Of 1quiquc by the insurgents. says
that by the fire of ships five blocks of
houses were destroyed, considerable coal
burned and the Office of the United
States consul destroyed. The fighting
back of the hills eliminated in Il battle
with 600 men on each side. Before
the fight 200 government troops deserted
to the insurgents. The fight was brief,
but sanguinary, the insurgents ackr owl

number wounded, while the government
had 400 killed and 200 wounded. Early
IN the fight the government cavalry fled,
killing everyone that came in their way,
whether friends or foes. Col. Robels,
the government commander, was wound
ed and captured and afterwards assassl-
mated in his bed.

Growth Of London.

The recent census of London will surprise
our fast Americans. We are in the habit Of
imagining that our cities ~outrival the world
in rapidity of growth. But the English me-
tropolis is we'll abreast of our lightning
towns. Its real greatness dates back only to
the beginning of the Nineteenth century. In
1900 it had less than 1,0OO,0 900 inhabitants,
1t now contains nearly 5000, 600 In the last
decade over 100. 900 houses were built within
its limits, and 1,000,0 900 people were added
to its population. The great city is seventy
miles in circumference. The Rev. DR..
Thain Davidson, of London, referring to
some revelations of the census, said: mot
a creed of religion or superstition has not

Roman Catholics than there are in Rome,
more Jews than there are in Palestine,

Coyotes are no fools, according to a cor
respondent Of the San Jose, (Cal.) Mercury.
While camping near the bank of a small
stream he noticed a single coyote proceed
to an old corral, where lay some dead sheep.
He walked directly up to one OF them, and
grabbing as much wool in his mouth as he
could conveniently hold, started without
any apparent hesitation toward n shall
low part of the stream. On
arriving at the water instead
of %plunging in head foremost he turned
and began to back slowly down into the
water. Gradually the water arose along
his legs, and then to his sides, until only
his head appeared. Closing his eyes with
seemingly the utmost ~contentment he
backed still further down until he was
completely immersed, when with a quick
jerk he released himself from the wool aud
appeared on the bank In the greatest do
light. An examination showed that the
bunch of floating WOO WAS fairly alive with

stand the political significance of the czar's
selection of calibre for the Russian rifle, IL
should be known hat no two nations in
Europe have adopted the same oalibre OF

vet they differ in calibre, even to .OO1 part

seem to indicate that tho muoh-talked-of

On the 1st of March, 1871, the day of the
entry Of the German troops into Paris,
rather a curious experience befell me.
While as yet within the German Gordon in
the Place de 10 Concorde, l observed that I
was being logged. I had no sooner passed
out of that Gordon than l was vehemently
assailed by an angry mob. who insisted
that l WAS a Prussian spy. A detachment of

genial enthusiasts who were dragging me

pressed intention of drowning me in the
basin of An adjacent fountain. A good
deal of my clothing had been torn off me.
but that was a trihe. Overhauling myself
in the police station, l discovered that
along with half of my greatooat had disap-
pearsd my notebook, which was in the
pocket of the missing section of tho

AS Mr.. Labouchere cheerfully wrote,
''They shot you first and apologized

brightest feature of the grim drama

Mr.. Malet, nov Sir Edward Malet, our min
lister at Berlin. He was left in charge of
the embassy in the Rue du Faubourg St.
Honore when Lord Lyons and the rest of
the personnel migrated to Versailles. For
two long days it seemed that Malet, or at
all events the embassy he inhabited. was
the target for the artillery alike of Vcrsail-
lists and communists. Shells bedevilled
the ballroom, knocked great holes miscel-
%laneously all over the building. and explos-
ion after explosion blew up the walls of the
embassy garden. through which the YER

conceivable circumstances could Malet look
absurd; and that surely is a great gift.
