Greensburg, Pa, October 2S.-Moun-
tain fires are rapidly nearing Ridgeway
Park, and despite the efforts of three
hundred determined men and boys, it
is possible the flames will reach the
park and great destruction of property
follow. Ridgeview Park is the camp
ing grounds Of the Methodist congre-
cations Of Western Pennsylvania.
There is large tabernacle, hotel and
210 cottages. The park contains about
100 acres and is enclosed by a high
board fence. Hon. j. c. Campbell, of
Derry, came here to-day and told of
the ravages of the mountain fires. He
says this is the worst and most de-
structive fire ever experienced by the
mountaineers in this region. The loss
to timber and land owners is great,
reaching hundreds of thousands of dol
lars. The dwellings In isolated parts
of the mountains are in danger At
Blairsville Intersection, fires are now

Senator Quay and Chris Magee Meet
and Confer in Pittsburg.

Pittsburg, Pa, October Ex-senator
M. S. Quay arrived in this city this
morning from Philadelphia, on his way
to Sewickley, where he will visit his
son, Richard, for a few days. The
Senator came in on the Western ex-
press over the Pennsylvania road and
went to the Hotel Duquesne, where he
spent the morning hours in consulta-
ton with local politicians. He was
accompanied by his sons, Richard and
Captain A. G. Curtin Quay, of the staff
Of Major General Miles, U. S. A.
The Senator was as non-communica-
tive as ever, Notwithstanding that des-
perate efforts were made to elicit
something from him that could be con-
strued even in the remotest way as
an expression Of opinion on political
matters.
During the day Senator Quay held a
conference with State Senator c. L.
Magee, the result of which was sup
posed by many to be some significant
political deal. Both gentlemen, how
ever, after the talk was over, united in
declaring that politics was not men
toned by either, the interview being
exclusively confined to talk over
some business matters.

night were at Mt. Vernon, Newark and
Shawnee, and were all largely attend
ed. Mr.. Bryan discussed the silver
question at all these meetings and also
reviewed the records CT President Nc
Kinley and Senator Hanna. He said
the first six months of the Mckinley
administration were the most disas-
trous in the history of the country.
He charged Senator Hanna with hos
tility to labor interests and also with
being the chief conspirator in the Pres
idential campaign Of last year, when
the result was due to the twin agents
of fraud and coercion and traceable to
the money powers of this and other
countries.
He said: "The gold standard was
conceived in avarice, fastened upon the
people by stalth, continued by fraud
and its high priest was Hanna

Gratis got as many votes in Ohio last
November as expected, but the Repub-
licans got many more than there was
