Details of the Destruction.

WATERFORD. April 5, 1893.-The forest
fires In this county are still raging in a
half dozen places, although they
are burning themselves out in some
of the longer swamps. The fires
have been blazing now for three days,
and the damage done cannot at this time
be estimated, although it runs up into
the thousands of dollars. The greatest
fires have been those at English Creek,
Absecon, Chewtown, Pestletown. Iron
Mills and Blue Anchor, where thousands
OF acres of timber have been bu rned over,
and the dense forests are still blazing. the
smoke obscuring the sun most OF the
time.
1t is estimated that over 1000 men have
been fighting the fires in the different
woods, and many narrow escapes have
been experienced by the fire fighters. In
one place several men were caught be-
tween fires in opposite directions, the
wind having changed, and to escape the
sand, aud lay tn them for some time.
Several houses have been burned. but
in each instance they were small build
iugs and not worth over $500 or 500.
The wood choppers and charcoal burners
are heavy losers. as in many cases their
entire savings for years were destroyed.
leaving them homeless and destitute.
Many houses have escaped de-
struction only by the almost miraculous
efforts of the villagers. who. when the
flames were seen approaching their homes
would start back-fring, thereby saving
their little homes.
Many farmers have lost heavily by
having their blackberry patches burned,
and cut wood by hundreds of cords has
also been destroyed.
The Wharton estate has in all probable
ity suffered the most, and it is estimated
that about 1850 acres of the property
have been burned over since Saturday
night.
