The Famous Anderson Greys.

"We publish from the White Haven
Journal the following history of the
famous Anderson Greys, from the pen
of I. H. Sourwine;
The Anderson Greys we're organized
at Mauch Chunk in 1860, under the
command of Capt. Eli Connor; First
Lieutenant, Thomas Wilhelem; Second
Lieutenant, Amous Stroh.
When the rebellion began by the
firing upon Fort Sumter on April 18th,
1861. Eli Connor and Robert Klotz
sent recruiting officers through out
Carbon and Luzerne counties, and en-
listed 314 men. The memorable Sun
day, the 20th of April, will never be
forgotten, when the population of
Mauch Chunk seemed concentrated in
Market Square and Court House cor
ner It was a recruiting mass for men.
Mr.. Robert Q. Butler went round with
the hat and in two hours he collected
about $4,000, in aid of needy families
of men who stepped into ranks. Moth
ers, sisters, wives, daughters and sweet
hearts we're participators in the patrio-
tic scene The ladies of the town pre-
sented Capt. Conner with beautiful
silk flag, and next (Monday) morning
the three full companies left Carbon
county, organized as follows:

Klotz should take command of one
company, but at that time he was Trea-
surer of Carbon county, and his bonds
men would not allow him to go as an
enlisted officer, so he assigned his cap
taincy to Col. John Craig. Mr.. Klotz
is entitled to much credit for the active
and prominent part he took in organ
izing these companies
The Greys then proceeded to Harris
burg and were at once mustered into
the 9th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volun.

FOREST FIRES
Doing Immense Damage in California -
Raging Over Week.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 4.-Terrible forest
fites have been raging over = week in Eldt-
RADIO county, more than 40 square miles
of country having been been burned over.
The flames have spread over the Greenwood
creek country and all the c0untry to the
west of Garden Valley, destroying many
dwellings, barns. hay, fences and thous
6nds of acres Of dry feed.
When the fire approached the town OF
Pilo. Hill, all hands turned out to try and
check its progress. Back firing was at
tempted. but had little effect owing TO the
swifiness of the fire. Half dozen houses
On the outskirts of the ,0wn were burned in
quick order. Flying sparks caught in the
frame building sronud the post office and in
few minutes the store, post office, saloon,
Halls, Warmers, Davis and Kirchners resi-
dencss, including outbuiidings wero all
burned.
Among the heaviest losers was Dave
Ferguson, who LOST everything except bis
horses. He lived with his sged mother two
miles from town, and white swsy from
hume, with msny others, fighting tile fire,
he was told that his own property vas in
danger. He started for his house only to
fad it and snew barn in flames. His
mother was lying some distance from the
house exhausted from fright and exertion.
At Burner Hill nothing is left Of the vii
lage but the hotel, schooihouse and two or
three scattering buildings on the outskirts
of the town. All the grass in the hills in
this. section is destroy ed and the consequent
loss Of stock will be large. Many farmers
and rsncheTs are rendered homeless and
penniless by the FIRE.

EDUCATIONAL STATISTICS.
Commissioner Harris Of the Bureau
Makes a Statement.

WARRINGTON, d. c., Oct. An his
report to the ss cretary OF the interior. Com
missioner Harris Of the bureau of education
says that durirg the last year the specialists
Of the bureau have completed several con-
else statements intended to exhibit the
working Of the educational systems of the
most important countries Of Europe, ard it
is hoped they will be able 10 complete a
practical survey of education in slt parts
Of the world. During the yesr the bureau
dist ibutsd 100, 900 documents and received
1865
The commissioner recommends that his
estimate of $50 coo for general printing for
the year 1892 3, recently submitted, be
favorably scted upon and made = special
re quest for an appropriation Of $50 coo to
continue the series OF educational histories
of the several states.
The commissioner says that in the exten-
sion Of the school system all over ALASKA =
commencement has been made with the
arctic circle, schools have been established
at Point Barrow. Point Hope and Cape
Prince of Wales.
On account of the remotereEs Of A'sska
a policy has been adopted Of making con-
tracts with the missionary associations for
the conduct Of the schools. The teachers
in the Alssksn schools have united IN re-
commencing the employment Of native
policemen to enforce ats nisuts at scht OILS.
This action is justified on the ground that
the greatest draw back to the success of
these schools is irregular attendance.
The commissioner reports tina, there we're
enrolled during the fiscal year l8Ss-90 in
the public schools of elementary
and secondary grade 1856 973 pu-
