If the wind don't change Russell City

BRADFORD, Pa, June 3.-The
woods about Ormsby are on fire and
number of oil rigs have been de-
stroyed. All communication has been
cut off. Fires are also reported along
the New York, Lake Erie & Western
railroad as far as Allegheny, N. Y.
On the Buffalo, Rochester & Pitts
burg road, at Dent, the property of
the Emery Oil company is threatened.
Oil rigs all through that section have
been burned, as well as millions Of
feet of standing timber. The most
fear is felt at Routherford Run, where
1000 pounds of nitro-glycerine is
stored. Coon Run, small settlement
ten miles south of here in the heart of
the oil fields, has been wiped off the
face of the earth by the flames. Peo-
pie had to flee for their lives, and great
excitement prevailed. The fire came
so suddenly that many women and
children were panic-stricken and be-
came unable to move, and had to be
carried to places of safety in the clear
ings. Passengers who arrived here to-
night over the Pittsburg & Western
road say the woods for ten miles in
the oil field is roaring mass of flames.
Conductor Tanks says the people on
the oil leases are fleeing for safety, but
the fire spread so quickly that he can
not see how all of them could have
been saved. So far as reported only
several oil bumpers are missing. Tel
ephone messages state that fire is rag
ing in the oil field near here, and
GREAT DAMAGE
has been done. At the state line on
the Western New York & Pennsyl-
vania railroad, seven dwellings, to-
gether with their contents and a
large amount of lumber, have been
consumed A lumber camp, COM
posed of seven dwellings, ait Oil Val
ley Junction was destroyed, together
with thousands of dollars worth Of
lumber The fire may now be said
to extend over the entire northern oil
field of Pennsylvania. 1t is impos-
sible as yet to give any computation
of the damage, or the number of
deaths on account Of the great scope
of country which the fire covers. A
| telephone message at 9:45 o'clock, via
Olean, N. Y, from Knapps Creek,
says the leases of Messrs. Burns,
Russell and Curtis have been fire.
swept, and fifty rigs are destroyed.
Several dwelling houses have burned,
and should any wind arise during the
night it will likely carry the flames
to Knapps Creek and destroy the
town. Knapps Creek is located mid
way on the mountain between Brad
ford and Olean, on the w. N. Y. & P.
railway, and has population of 1000.

PHILADELPHIA, June 3.-A spe-
cial to the Press from Bradford says:
Forest fires are again raging in Nc
Kean and Elk counties, and it is esti-
mated that the loss will reach into the
millions. The extreme warm weather
has made the forests as dry as tin
der, and a spark from a locomotive
set fire to the woods. At Hunters
Run, seventeen miles southwest of
Kane, 200 men were engaged all Sat
urday and Sunday fighting flames.
Much property is in danger. The
Midland Oil company lost five rigs,
two tanks, two boiler houses and
considerable lumber; J. K. Campbell
5000 feet of hemlock lumber, and
Robert Brown large number of logs.
At West Line, few miles from Kush-
qua and the terminus of the Mount
Jewett Kizea & Ritterville railroad,
a fire broke out Saturday afternoon.
A force of men fought its advances
all night with considerable success,
but a brisk wind gave energy to the
smouldering embers and caused them
to start again with.

TIL REILLY BILL,

While congress is playing into the
hands Of the Pacific roads and yt
the people to d far greater extent
they have been robbed, the people and
press are sending out earnest pro.
Among the most prominent of the pap .
that have taken a stand against the
Reilly bill is the New York World, which
in q recent issue says: The bill ought tc
be beaten upon the first vote. 1t is in
fact a bill to postpone the payment OF
debts that ought to have been pr

as the World has recently shown, to
eXcuat the Pacific railroad ring altogether
from the payment of some scores of mi.

Mr.. Huntington 8 celebrated two streaks
of rust and a right of way The right
thing to DO with all these Pacific railroad
debts is to collect them. If the COM
panies will not or cannot pay, their prop
erty and franchises should be sold for
debt. precisely as is done with any other
insolvent debtor. In this case the gov
ernment should proceed also to collect
the sG4,0OO,0OO for which the original
stockholders or their estates are justly
liable. And it is certain that the govern.
ment would long ago have done both of
these things if corporate influence had
not interfered to prevent. One Of its
most impudent interferences is tho press
ing of this tricky Reilly bill Of false
pretenses. The right thing to do with it
is to vote it out of existence.

Mr.. Cleveland has evidently become
Disguised at the failure of congress to
view the financial situation through his
glasses and has announced that he will
take the bit in his mouth and issue such
bonds as he thinks necessary under the
old law. In this. as in other things, he
may be reckoning without his host. The
same congress that declines at his behest
bonds may take occasion to prohibit him
from issuing under the act of 1870. The
body certainly has the power and, with
is present temper, as shown by the
speeches, it is not hard to imagine that
it may be used. AS a matter of fact, the

All the information from Washington
is 10 the effect that the Pacific railroad
Lobbyists have captured congress and
that the outrageous refunding bills will
be passed.. This is a sorry conclusion
for The people of the west and the coast.
1t continues in power for years to come
the homogeneous Of these immense cor
porations with all the opportunities for
plumber from the revenues and unjust
impositions upon the public and in no
wise secures by a shadow OF a chance
the payment of the large sums due the
government. 1t is true there is a provi-
sion requiring a certain portion of the
earnings to be set aside to pay tho in.
terest and principal due the United
States, bat it would be a very credulous
man who would venture to ex-
press an honest belief that this
provision will not be evaded. In spite
of this, however, congress has listened
to the arguments of the railroad
men and turned a deaf ear to the ear
nest and Just demand for relief that has
gone out from the people. From their
inception to the present day these roads
have been nests of Wholesale corruption.
The laws have been deiied ia their ad-
ministratinns, stocks have been watered
without stint, bonds have been issued in
fabulous sums, and earnings have been
stolen under the veil of schemes that
bore on their face the stamp of dishon-
eGty. The result is teat the corporations
are all wrecks and by sheer force Of ex.
haustion the managers find themselves
%estopped from further opportunity for
population. Even the pin feathers have
been pluckoI from the bird, though the
body is left, A due regard for public
interest would lead congress to take the
matter in hand in a resolute way and SO
r~eorganize that fer d lime at least affairs
would be honestly administered It
is idle to say that this cannot
be done for it is an easy matter to do it.
A plan can be devised that will place the
roads virtually under government con
troll, or the mortgages can be foreclosed
and by becoming the purchaser the gov
eminent will be the absolute owner. This
would be a radical remedy, but it would
be far better than permitting the man
ayers to continue in power at the ex
pense Of the people and use the money
they fitch from them in building up COM
bines to dominate communities polite
ally and commercially and hold them in
serflon. The present congress may at the
bidding Of the Pacific roads do what Il
can TO still further rivet the chains. but
the time is coming when %forbearance will
cease to be a virtue and when the people
will assert and maintain their rights in
spite of venal legislators and susceptible
courts.
