Blazing Forests Cause Great Destruction
In Several States.


In Several States.
BRADFORD Pa, July 16.-Forest fires
are causing serious losses to lumber
men in this county. Many destructive
fires are raging between Bradford and
Kinzua, in the hemlock district trav-
ersed by the western New York and
Pennsylvania railroads. At Pecks
switch, near Marshburg, n pile
of saw logs containing $780,
900 feet of timber was destroyed,
and force of men are at
work trying to confine the flames to
one locality. The logs destroyed be-
longed to Weed, Munday & Co., of this
city, and were partly insured. East of
Morrisons, 3 miles in Corydon town
ship, 100000 feet of hemlock logs
owned by the United Lumber & Coal
company, of Oil City, and the Warren
Packard company, of Warren, have
been destroyed. Fifty men are now
battling with the flames in an effort
to save 1000 cords of bark piled
in that vicinity. Families at the
lumber camps thereabouts have moved
to places of safety, taking their
household goods with them. At Thurs
tons camp, Corydon township, the
people barely escaped from their
houses before the flames destroyed
all the property in the place. The fires
| are the result of the recent dry spell,
and as rain has commenced to fall 1T
| is likely there will be no further dam
| age.
EGG HARBoR CITY, N. j., July 16.-
| Forest fires that have been raging in
| this section for several days past have
| swept over an area of over 5000 acres.
Saturday night the condition of affairs
| looked serious, and the residents for
several miles around were called out
to meet the flames. Although they met
with some success in changing the
course of the fire, there is great danger
that many buildings will yet be de-
stroyed Among the buildings already
burned were those on the farm of Con-
| gressman j. j. Gardner, including
his fine country residence. Near
Bridgeport the dwelling of Capt. Gus
Williams was also destroyed. fierce
fire is now sweeping through the
dense woods in the lower part of
Galloway township, and is headed di-
rectly toward Hewittown. 1t lis impos-
sible to form any estimate of the loss
at present. The principal losers, how
ever, will be the owners of the timber
lands, large sections of which have
been swept by the flames.
BIG RAPIDS, Mich, July 16.--Proba-
bly, hundred men, women and chill
dren, inhabitants of ten-mile section
of the southern part of Isabella
county, are homeless on account
of forest fires. Although now
only smouldering the fires are
causing much suffering and pri'
vation. A lumber camp of the Gale
Lumber company was destroyed with
many acres of green timber. Three
small sawmills, many houses, crops
bridges, fences, etc, have beer
burned, but there has been no loss o.
life. The people are praying for rain

Six Negro Miners Are Slain by Strikers In
Alabama.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, July IA fierce
battle occurred Monday afternoon at
4:30 o'clock at No. mine at Pratt's be-
tween mobs of striking miners and
deputy sheriffs in which six were
killed and nearly score wounded.
A mass-meeting of striking miners
was held during the morning on the
creek near the Pratt mines and it was
decided to take the law into their own
hands and kill or be killed. When the
employees quit work and came out Of
the mines a mob of men was secreted
In the woods near by. AS the negroes
came out one by one the men in am
bush fred upon them.
After the third negro had fallen the
deputies opened fire on the mob and a
fierce battle took p ace. b. w. Tierce,
the commander of the deputies, fell to
the ground. A Winchester ball had
pierced his body just above the heart
Almost at the same instant one of the
strikers was seen to fall, but he
arose again to his knees and
taking aim with his Winchester fired
four times at the deputies. The depu-
ties kept reloading their guns and fir
ing and the mob began dispensing.
The deputies then made tour around
the wounded striker, who was still FIR
ing, and after time succeeded in
silencing his guns. He proved to be a
Frenchman.
kilograms were sent to the town in
haste for help and Sheriff Morrow sum-
moned twenty-five deputies. Gov.
Jones, who is still in the city, hastily
summoned the Birmingham bat
TALON of the state troops. At
noon the Second regiment was
relieved from duty. The East Lake
company was still in camp guard
ing the tents, and they were marched
to train and hastily carried to Pratts
with the deputies. The governor or
dered the Second regiment into camp
and closed all the saloons in the
county. At Pratts posses were hastily
formed and the woods were searched
for miles, but the miners had made
good their escape. The work of hunt.
ing up the dead and wounded then be-
gan. Ten men were picked up and
groes are not known. The French
mans name was Juan Jaflor. George
Campbell (colored) had his leg broken
and bullet went through his chin
He says that the strikers came on him
after he was down and kicked him and
fred another shot into his nose.
The negroes are terror-stricken. The
streets bout town are crowded with
people and all sorts of rumors are fly
ing about. A courier has returned
from the scene and announce:
that everything is well prepared
there for another attack should
one be made. The bodies O.
the two white men and one O.
the negroes have been brought tt
the city, and the undertaking shop!
are crowded with the surging mass O.
humanity. The Third regiment of tn,
state troops has been ordered int
camp here, and more than 500 soldier
will be on the scene. Late Monday /;
dead negro was found 1 mile from The
scene of the battle.

The Jealousy of Nevada Husband Re-
suits in Triple Tragedy.
LovELoCK, New, July 16.-Three
men were killed near here Thursday
night as the result of husbands
jealousy. Robert Logan shot and
killed Dan Lovelock and Fred Sui
livan,. and was in turn killed
by his wife. Mrs. Logan had
applied for divorce, and her
husband was insanely jealous of
her, threatening to kill some of her
male friends. A few days ago Mrs.
Logan went to Cottonwood to visit her
mother. Logan followed and that
night attacked and severely wounded
Dan Lovelocl, the stage driver. Love
lock was unable to return, so Mrs.
Logan brought the stage back
Wednesday she returned to Cotton
wood to bring Lovelock home. Mrs.
Logan drove with the wounded man
on the seat beside her. Fred Sullivan,
stranger, rode on a rear seat.
About dusk Logan rode up on horse
back. He was armed with a
Winchester and ordered his wife
to leave the stage and go with
him. She refused, saying she
was going home. Logan then said he
would go, too, and rode on behind.
They rode along for two hours, when
Mrs. Logan heard shot, and turning
saw Sullivan fall dead with bullet
through his heart. He had been shot
in the back by Logan. Then the MUIR
derer shot Lovelock, who was too
weak to defend himself, and he fell
dead in Mr.. Logan's lap.
Logan then got into the stage and,
| taking the reins from his wife, drove
| to a we'll, five miles distant, into which
| he said he intended to throw the
| bodies of the murdered men, after
| which he would kill his wife. How
ever, she persuaded him to water the
horses first, and as Logan stopped
| to secure n bucket from under the
stage, Mrs. Logan took a pistol from
| Lovelock's pocket, and, when he arose.
shot him. He begged for mercy, but
taking careful aim, she fred again and
Logan fell behind the stage. Mrs. Lo
gan dismounted and fred one more
shot into her husbands PROSTATE form
to make sure he was dead.
| Leaving Logan's body lying in the
dust, the plucky woman drove into
town with the other dead men ano
told the news. Lovelock was stage
proprietor and . driver, and though
well acquainted with Mrs. Logan, ha6
never been suspected of intimacy with
her. Sullivan was an entire stranger
The people here denounce Logan as {
coward and commend Mrs. Logan
courage.

tables, with brief comments, showing
the operations Of the sugar bounty d.

year ended juno so, 1884,
The commissioner says the increase In
the production Of oane sugars during the
last fiscal year was I56.0l5.54i pounds
which is equal 20 BIS per cent, but the
number Of licenses issued to the cane
sugar producers decreased from $50 to
579. aDd the number ofactual cane sugar
producers from 55l to 495. "The de-
crease in the number Of producers, not
withstanding the large increase in pre-
duetiOn, is due to the fact that mum

q 9. Iimes Democrat
The executive committee Of the State
immigration Association has, as we
Thought it would, gone energetically
and promptly to work to bring bona fide
sotileFs to Louisiana. One Of the tirst.to
be sought for is to secure an immigration
iunsi A very small sum is needed, for
itis not proposed 70 carry on any OK
pensive work in tho way Of sending
agents stronghold the country to drum
up immigrants, as experience has shown
that this is not the best way 10 work,
hut tis desired to pnblisha panphlet
descriptive Of ali portions Of Louisiana,
and todistribute 1t fully throughout the
country. We can then wait patiently
for these books to produce fruit, as they
viii do.
II has been suggested that each par
ish IN tine staEe give 500 toward the
fana--as it can ,easiiy do through its Pc
lice jury This would give ps an ample
fund for all the immigration work TO be
done and the parishes wunld get good
returns ON their Investments.
1t is desired, too, to do full Justice TO
every part Of the state, and not favor
one sertion above the Others; and if the
immigration fand were raised in this
way itwould assure jnstieeto all Every
section of the state is attractive, aud
while some settlers would prefer the
southwestern parishes, others would
like 70 establish themselves in the mp
lands Of North Louisiana, or in the piny
woods section, OF IN the rich alluyial
districts OF the Mississippi Red or
ouiebita.
The proposition that the small fand
needed be thus raised by the parishes is
the hest made, and we hope twill be
found practical; but whether it Is or not,
the money should be raised promptly,
as itas desired TO lose no time The best
period for immigration work an the west
lis during the winter, when the crops
have been harvested and when the farm
eEs. are able and anxious to move south.
We should begin now and lose no time.
