SWEPT BY FLAMES.
The Village of Greenbush Con-
sumed-Seyeral Other New
Jersey Towns in Dancer

Jersey Towns III hanger.
New York, July 19.--Every previous
fire in the history of the southern part of
the state of New Jersey has been outdone
by the blaze which is at present sweeping
through the pine belt There seems but
little hope of stopping the flames. One
whole village was wiped out by the sec
ton of the fire which for two days has
been sweeping toward Bridgeport That
place was not touched. as the wind shift
ed last night and turned the flames to one
side.
The flames that had been sweeping
towards Bridgeport were turned aside by
a shift of the wind Tuesday night and
during the early hours of the morning
they reached 4 point near the little hamlet
of Greenbush. The village stood in Il lit
tie clearing in the pine belt, and the stacks
of hay and the dry wooden buildings
proved even better food for the elements
than the woods around. The villagers
had been forced to flee long before this,
and are now encamped in Il clearing some
miles away. In addition to the destruc
ton Of this village many residences and
barns in the course of the fire have been
destroyed.
Bass river came nearly sharing the fate
of GreenbuSh. Two hours after the cry
for succor came there were 500 men be-
tween the front of the flames and Bass
river Back firing was successful, and
within two hours the flames started by
them were tearing through the forest to
meet the oncoming mass, which threat
ened the place. The cnders and sparks
fell in showers on the houses. The men
worked in relays to keep the roofs damp
ened and in this way they saved all the
houses and barns and lost only couple
of stacks of hay.
The changed direction of the wind is
carrying the flame back toward Water

GOING TO BLUEFIELDS.
The Columbia Ordered to Proceed to
the Seat of War at

Washington, D. c., july 1o.-Secretary
Herbert has ordered the cruiser Columbia,
row at the New York nayy-yard, TO pro-
coed to Bluehelds just as soon as she can
be made ready to sail The order was is
sued because of the disturbed and threat
ening state Of affairs there
The mail steamer which arrived at
New Orleans yesterday from the South
brought advices directed to Secretary
Herbert by Capt. O'Neill, commanding
the U. S. S. Marblehead, stationed at
Bluetields. Nicaragua, and they were
Just what Capt ONeill had to report,
the secretary would not say, but it was
undoubtedly corrOborative Of the press
dispatches. That the secretary regarded
the matter as being very important was
shown by his action in Immediately cali
ing into consultation Admiral Ramsey,
chief of the navigation bureau. and Adj
miral Gherardi. commander Of the New
York navy-yard. As a result, orders
were forwarded to Capt. Sumner Of the
cruiser Columbia now at New York, to
sail for Bluehelds. Coaling has begun
already and according to the report made
to Secretary Herbert. the vessel should
be under way i'll the course of a day or
two.
Surprising that the Columbia gets away
from New York Saturday morning. she
should arrive at Port Royal. w. l.. on the
coth, and stopping only long enough to
take Il fresh supply of coal. she could
be off Bluefields on the following Fri
day or Saturday. She cannot go into the
bay there. as she draws too much water,
and she probably will be obliged to lie
about twelve miles away in the open sea.
Secretary Herbert says she will not re-
Iieve the Marbehead. but that both YES
sells will remain at the station so that one
can always be on guard while the other
runs down to Port LimOn to coal

SUIT FOR ELEVEN MILLIONS.
Kansas Pacific Bondholders Seek to
Recover from Russell Sage
and the Gould Estate


and the Gould Estate.
New York, July 21-The Kansas Pa
cifc bondhoders committee, Of which ST.
las 2. Catcher is chairman, has entered
suit in the United States circuit court
for New York, in the name of John
Quincy Adams, against Russell Sage and
the estate of Jay Gould to recover SILL
100000, being the proceeds of securities
alleged to have been taken from the
trust.
Under the deed of trust executed to
Sage and Gould about S3,0O0.OO0 OF the
capital stock of the Denver Pacific Rail-
way company were deposited with the
trustees as collateral security for the
payment Of the Kansas Pacific consolidate
ed bonds These securities have been,
it is charged, taken out of the trust, and
the proceeds applied by the trustees to
their individual benefits.
The latter claimed to have obtained
title to them through suit which they III
stituted in the name of the Kansas Pa
cifc Railway company (which was con-
trolled by them against themselves. All
that they alleged in these proceedings. it
is contended, was that the Denver Pa
cifc stock was of little value and that
the mortgage company would like TO have
it. Upon these allegations and within
q period of seven days they obtained
an order from Judge Donohue of the
New York Supreme court to take the
trust stock out of the trust and turn it
Back to the railway company. The COM
pany thereupon, it is alleged, handed the
stock or the proceeds thereof, over to
Gould and Sage, who, it is alledsed, have
retained it for their personal purposes.
The complaint in the suit also charges
that the proceedings gave no color of
legality to the acts of Gould and Sage
who, they now claim, to be accountable
for the trust property which with pre-
miums. dividends and interest, now
amounts, it is claimed, to more than SILL
100000.
It is asked that the Gould executors
and Russell Sage be called upon to &C
count for the funds, and that Sage and
George Gould be removed from the trus-
&eeship.
Russell Sage was seen this afternoon
10y an Associated Press reporter, but de-
cined to go into the merits of the suit.
He said; "Everything that l have done
as trustee in this business is a matter of
record, and [ am content to stand by the
record. The answer to the suit will be
made through counsel, and prefer to say
nothing on the subject now save that all
thp proceedings are regular.
