Railway Traffic interrupted by Fires
Along the Tracks.

Kane, Pa, Sept. "a stiff gale from
the southeast has freshened up, and to-
night the flames of destructive fires
are visible in all directions. Railroad
traffic is badly interrupted by the fires
along the tracks. The fire which
threatened the southern end of the
Kane field and Martin Run a week ago,
is again burning fiercely and covers a
very large scope of oil territory extend
ing from Martin to Crane Run. Oil OPP
orators are making preparations to put
a large force of men out. The fire is
particularly dangerous to the entire oil
production in this, the Kane field. The
fire near Johnsonhurg is destroying
millions Of feet of lumber. Authentic
reports say fires along the line of the
Pittsburg & Western road, in Elk and
Forrest counties, have destroyed sew
eral saw mills and a large amount of
sawed lumber and timber in the last

vices have been received by steamer

LEES OLD WAR HORSE.
The Generals Description of the
Charger He Used to Ride.

1.-THE Cleaner
Few people in this broad land do not
know that the late General Robert E.
Lees war horse, Traveller, gained al
most as much fame as did the cele-
brated Confederate commander him
self. After the war, an artist wrote to
General Lee. asking for a description
of Traveller. which General Lee wrote
for him. A copy of this description
was made by Miss Mildred Lee.
daughter of the general, for a ST. Louis
friend. who gave it to the Cleaner
This is what the general wrote about
his favorite horse: IF / were an artist
like you. 1 would draw true picture
|of Traveller, representing his fine pro-
portions, muscular figure, deep chest,
short back, strong launches, fiat legs,
small head. broad forehead, delicate
ears, quick eyes, small feet and black
name and tail. Such a picture would
inspire poet, whose genius could then
depict his worth and describe his en-
durance, of toll. hunger, thirst, heat
and cold, the dangers and sufferings
through which he has passed. He could
dilate upon his sagacity and affection,
and his invariable response to any
wish of his rider He might even ina
CINE his thoughts through the long
| night marches and days of battle
| through which he has passed. But L
am no artist and can. therefore, only
| SLY he was Confederate gray.
Il purchased him in the autumn of
| 1861 in the mountains of Virginia, and
he has been my patient follower ever
| since-to Georgia, the Carolinas and
back to Virginia. He carried me
| through the Seven Days battle, ar
ound Richmond, the second Manassas.
at Sharpsburg, Fredericksburg, the last
! day at Charlottesville, to Pennsyl-
vania, at Gettysburg and back to the
Rappahannock. From the commence
ment of the campaign in 1864, at Or
ange, till its close around Pittsburg,
| the saddle was. hardly off his back as
he passed through the fire of the Will
| derness, Spottsylvania, Cold Harbor
and across the James river. He was
almost in daily requisition in the win
! ter of 1S64-65 on the long line of defen-
SEES of the Chickahominy. north of
Richmond. to Hatcher's Run, south Of
| the Appomatox. In the campaign of
1865 he bore me from Petersburg to the
final day at Appomattox Court House.
| You know the comfort he is to me in
nv present retirement. He is well
| supplied with equipments. Two sets
have been sent to him from England,
and one from the ladies of Baltimore,
and one from the city of Richmond,
| hut I think his favorite Is the Amer
| lean saddle from st. Louis.
"Of all his companions in toll, Rich
4 mond, Brown, Roam. Ajax and Quiet
i Lucy Long, he is the only one that re-
tanned his vigor to the last The two
first expired under their onerous bur-
dens, and the two last failed You can,
I am sure, from what / have said,
paint his portrait"
This ends the description, signed
with the name of the. famous General
Robert E. Lee, Lexington, Va, the
summer before he died.

mously chosen as temporary chairman
On reassembling, the committee on

which was adopted, to the effect that
each state and territory represented be

persons appointed by any authority be
permitted a voice in determining how
the vote of his state or territory shall

Committees on permanent organiza-
ton, resolutions and rules and order of
business, each consisting of one dele

and II was agreed to.
Tonight the reports of the several
state commissioners were heard to the
exclusion Of any other business.
The delegates were stirred up by the
receipt OF the following letter from ].
Sterling Morton, commissioner OF agri-
culture in which he paid his respects to
the convention as follows:
THE questions considered by these IT.
rigation conventions have nothing to dc
with practical irrigation. They amount
simply to the coming together of body
of citizens for the purpose of petitioning
Congress for grants of lands and a ces-
sion of whatever control or ownership
the general government may have of the
waters of the arid region
A delegate objected to the words OF
Mr. Morton as an insult to the conven.
to- and he moved that the document
be turned to Washington. ]. K. Leet
appeared in the role of peacemaker and
the letter was placed on. file

A WORD PICTURE of THAcKERAY.

I need scarcely say that when he was
not in a techy temper, caused by ex-
IRENE physical anguish, Thackery
was one of the most delightful CONVEX
sationalists it was possible to imagine.
There were very few subjects indeed
on which he could not talk, and talk
admirably. He was as fluent in the
French and in the German as in the
English language. He had, | should
say. a fair knowledge of Italian He
was never tired discoursing about
books and bookmen. about pictures and
painters, about. etchers and engravers
and photographers; and, moreover, he
was born wit and epigrammatist.
So we walked and talked, by busting
Knightsbridge into crowded Piccadilly;
and, hating just opposite MorePs, the
well-known Italian warehouse. Thack-
cry observed that he was about to or
der some wine.
He made me a bow, which, in its
sweeping stateliness, would have done
honor to Sir Charles Grandson; con-
currently giving me his hand, which
was cold enough to have belonged to
a professor of swimming who had just
emerged from his tank, and then he
stalked over the way. leaving in my
mind a perplexed impression that he
had suddenly forgotten who ! was,
or that, knowing me, he had suddenly
arrived at the conclusion that L was a
confounded bore, and that the sooner
he got rid of me the better it would
be.
When I became TO know him init
mately, l fully understood the reason
for these sudden reactions of appar-
ent hauteur and "standoffishness, 1t
was only his way He could not help
that which probably was due either to
an acute spasm of bodily pain. or
sudden passing of a black cloud, across
the mind of one who, although ne
could be upon occasion full of fun and
frolic. was not, ! should say, on the
whole, altogether happy man
