FOREST FIRES.
Great Damage Being Done in
 Alcona County, Mich.
HOUSES AyD LUMBER BURNED UP,
The Coroncr's Jury In the washingt ton Horror Find the Fire Was Started by an Inceudiary-Horses
 Cremated.

HARRIsvILLE, Mich. Aug. 27.-Heavy forest fires are raging throughout AL coma county, doing great damage to lumber mills and standing pine, de- stroving crops of all kinds and burning the homes of many settlers. The fires were started early last week in the huckleberry swamps in the interior by berry pickers Owing to the dry weather they spread rapidly and soon Uot beyond control. Yesterday Camp bells mill, near West Harrisville, 100 cords of hemlock bark, 100000 feet of lumber, 2,OO0 cedar ties, and a large number of railroad flat cars were burned. Trains on the Detroit, Bay City & Alpena road were delayed many hours. From Killmaster, in the in terior of the county, the report came last night that seven farmers lost their homes and stocks of grain yesterday and Edward Kingston and his son James were seriously burned while fighting the flames. Other parts of the county are sending in reports of heavy damage to crops and timber. There has been no rain for six weeks. Every thing is as dry as finder and stiff ahame.
 The country surrounding Ludington sends in extensive reports of heavy damage by crop fires. Last night four farm houses were destroyed the occu- pants barely escaping with their lives. A heavy smoke that nearly turns day into night has hung over the city for twenty-four hours.
 WASHINGTON MINE HORROR.
 SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. 27.-The cor onerS jury Investigating the disaster at the Franklin coal mine Friday, in which thirty-seven men were killed, has rendered verdict finding that fire was started by parties unknown, who willfully, knowingly and malic- iously desired to do great injury and damage to the lives of the employees and the property of the Oregon I'm prOvement Co. It is believed the per son who fired the mine also perished, though no one will venture an opinion as to who the incendiary is.
 TwENTY-sEvEN HORSES CREMATED.
 CHICAGo, Aug. 27.-Fire yesterday afternoon destroyed property valued at Sl5,OOO and twenty-seven horses valued at s7,O0O, the property being of the Paepcke Leicht Lumber Co.,, whose yards and blaming mill are located at the foot of Illinois street on North pier. The property being destroyed brings the total loss to s3O,OOO, fully covered by insurance.
 SEVEN PERSONS KILLED BY DYNAMITE.
 ZATATECAs, Mex, Aug. 27.-A courier arrived from the camp of Capt Minillos, this state, bringing news of a terrible dynamite explosion which occurred in the mines there yesterday. The ex- plosion resulted in the killing of seven persons, beside several horses, and did great damage to property.

TREELEss WASTES OF ICELAND
A Region Where Travel Is Attended with
 Untold Discomfort.


 Untold Discomfort.
 Iceland is little better than desert. The peculiar confguration renders in- tercourse difficult, and along with the barrenness of the soil makes the con- dition of existence strangely hard. People with so little to make life att tractive might be pardoned if they were to sink into a stolid indifference to everything but the struggle to keep alive. The size of Iceland is greater than that of Ireland, and the popula- tion is seventy thousand; but the only inhabitable portion is narrow strip of pasture land extending like green girdle around the coast and up the deep, narrow fiords. The interior of the country is bowling waste of sand and ice, traversed by darting glacial rivers, and utterly incapable of supporting more than few scattered inhabitants. Grass is the only considerable crop.
 The hills and valleys are treeless and afford at best but scanty pasturage for horses, cows and sheep. Roads and bridges scarcely exist. A Danish mer- chant at ReiSiavil1 has wheeled car riage, but in the interior such a con- vcyance is unknown and would be use less if known. The backs of horses are the only means of transportation across the country. Small boats carry travellers over dangerous rivers, while the horses swim on ahead. Hardly anything that ministers to comfort, to say nothing of luxury, is produced in Iceland. Every nail in an Icelandic house, every pane of glass, every bit of wooden flooring, every insignificant bit of furniture, has to be transported laboriously from one of the seaports to its destination.
 That the Icelanders are poor goes without saying. There is little or no home market, for every Icelander has the same products to sell as his neigh bor. The circulation of money is, therefore, very small. If a farmer has direct dealings with the agents for foreign markets, and is sufficiently pros porous to have little surplus each year, he may handle little money, but in general the trading at the sea- ports is literally trading. An Icelander barters a certain number of horses and sheep or rolls of dried fish or bales of hay for a supply of groceries and other necessaries of life.-St. Louis Republic.

A Slight Difference.

The man who had been brought up in boarding house got day or two off. with a few dollars in his pocket, and concluded he would go away and have big time. one feature of which was to buy meals at swell restaurant. He reached the place and went into his first breakfast. The piece de re- sistance was a porterhouse steak. and he tackled it with great gusto. After a minute or two he called up the waiter.
 What kind of steak is this? he asked, with an effort
 "Porterhouse, sir," responded the waiter, with q quarter-tip tone of pride.
 Are you sure of that?"
 Certainly. sir. Why?"
 "Oh, nothing. I thought possibly you might have misunderstood my or der and brought me a boarding-house steak. ."-Detroit Free Press.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. 23.--A special from Birmingham, Ala, says a prom inent republican who was active in Kolb's interest during the recent cam paign is authority for the statement the Kolbites will meet in November, when the regular legislature meets, convene a legislature of their own, elect a senator to succeed Morgan who will it is thought, be republican, and adjourn.

 mended to Cleveland His Prompt Dis-
 mlssal.
 WASHINGTON, Aug 25.-The investi. gation of c. II. J. Taylor, colored, re. corder of deeds for the District of Col. umbia, was closed yesterday. The re. port of the civil service committee, prepared by Proctor, of Kentucky, urges the president to promptly re. move Taylor. The latter, in a letter to the committee, denies the pub lished interviews in which he was made to say that local political asso. citations in Washington were guilty of assessing federal employees He inti. mates that the commission is being made the tool of men to satisfy their personal enmity, and principally by one who has police court record. He also attacks w. Calvin Chase, editor of the Washington Bee. Taylor says he will tender his resignation as soon as it is asked. Rev. P. II. White, sergeant at-arms of the Negro Democratic league, denies that he carried letters to government employees ordering them to appear at league headquarters on penalty of removal. He claims the let ters were to members of the league only, asking them to call at headquar- ters to arrange for the deposit of meIn- bership dues.
