Scene Witnessed in Pennsylvania-On Rig
Destroyed.
BRADFORD, May 7.-Sunday night the
forest fires died out, but are expected to
spring up at any minute. Quintuple hill
is on fire now. Ever since the dry spell
set in the Emory Oil company has had a
man employed to follow after each train,
so that in case the woods should catch
fire the flames might be extinguishcd be-
fore getting beyond control. Yet in spite
of this precaution the hill is a roaring
tower of fire. 1t has not been learned
how the confiagration started, but pre-
sumably from sparks of some passing en-
gine. The Emory Oil company has lost
one oil rig and others are in danger.
Unless rain comes or the progress Of the
destroying element can be arrested much
property is in danger of being consumed.
Should the fire go over the hill many rigs
on the west branch side will no doubt go
up in smoke. A bad fire is reported be.
tween Brookston and Chaffee. in Elk
county, snd another west of Coon Run.
Nothing has been learned from these
points as to damage done.

THE glory of Methodism is, that it

shows that we have organizations in
2,205 of the 2,79O counties in the
United States. Wherever there are
sinners, we must have converts, socie-
ties; wherever societies, churches.
Thus we have more societies than any
other division of Christianity. For all
branches of Methodism there are
81 ,4S9 societies. The Baptists have, in
all 42,909. No other denOminational

Politics on the Eastern Shore.

The Centreville Observer, a Demo-
cratic paper, Las the following:
If the country newspapers correctly
understand and report the sentiments
of the people among whom they are
printed then there certainly is danger
ahead for the Democracy, a danger that
is now seen and must be averted From
all direction we see ominous reports
that Democrats are lukewarm, indifier-
ent about party aud party success. As
one member of the party expressed it
the other day, lit is good year to get
beat" This is but a sample of the
talk indulged in by the people, and it
means much, very much. It means
that the people have lost confidence in
party management and the party man
ayers, They feel that party manage
ment has been conducted on the plane
of eminent and successful selfishness.
Necessarily the people tire of this
thing, and necessarily they will refuse
to continue in control the people who
manage the party on this plane. 1t,
therefore, behooves the members of the
party who are so from principle and
not for profit to exert themselves to
turn the tide and snatch victory out oi
the jaws of apparent ruin, How can
this be dOne9 There is only one way
