FOREST FIRES.
A Great Amount of Damage Done
in Pennsylvania.

PITTSBURG Pa), Oct. 20.-From all
parts of Western and Central Pennsyl-
vania, Eastern Ohio and West Virginia
come reports of forest and mountain
fires. All the upper Youghiogheny re-
gion is in a haze. Across the Youghio-
gheny River Limestone Hill is a lurid
slope of fire, and south Of Connellsville
the fires are eating up the shrubbery,
endangering homes and destroying
hundreds of fences and barns.
In the vicinity Of Rice Brook, Bed
ford County, nearly 100 men are fight
ing the fires. Two oil rigs owned by
the South Penn and Worth Oil Com
panies have been destroyed and a large
tract of timber laid waste. 1t is esti-
mated that 5000 acres have been
burned in the vicinity of Rice Brook
during the last thirty-six hours.
The barn of John A. Byers, stock
dealer of Dunbar Township, Fayette
County, has been destroyed. All his
stock twenty horses and t>>c uncut crop
of hay We're consumed.
Springfield, on the top of Chestnut
ridge, is threatened with destruction
unless rain comes soon. r
William Hodges, who lived on Indian
Creek, is missing, and it is feared he

SAN PEDRO HARBoR.
Another Hitch in the Execution Of
the Act Passed by Congress.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20. - There
has been another hitch in the execu-
ton of the law relative to the establish
ment of the deep water harbor at San
Pedro, Cal, but the way has again
been smoothed over. and the work will
proceed if contractors can be found
willing to assume the responsibility.
A careful perusal of the terms of the
last River and Harbor Act has con-
veyed the impression to Secretary AL
ger that there was a conflict between
two sections that might negative both.
One section seems to authorize the be-
ginning of work at the place selected
by the commission for the deep water
harbor which was San Pedro. Another
Wilmington Harbor, which is Identical
with San Pedro, but provides that the
approximation is to be available only
in the event that the place was not
selected as the site of the deep water
harbor.
Seer etary Alger was impressed with
the belief that the Act made no appro
priation in this case for San Pedro. but
he has determined to go on with the
work of preparing specifications, and
advertise proposals for doing the work,
leaving the contractors to look to Con-
submit with his next regular estimates
an item of 100000 for the first work
on the harbor.

KILLING OF SCHOFIELD.
BUTCHERS CoUNSY AXES A
STATEMEk
The Shot Said to Have Been Fired
to Save the Life of the Wife
of Deceased.

SAN JOSE, Oct. 20.-Attorney Schel-
Ter, counsel for Dan butcher, made his
preliminary statement of what the de-
fense expected to prove this morning.
1t shows the line of defense to be self
defense and justifable homicide
Attorney Scheller said he would show
that Schofield made thousand threats
to kill his wife, both in the presence of
the family and strangers Just be-
fore the tragedy he came to San Jose
and secured a supply of whisky He
had been to Watsonville with butcher
a few days before, and told the defend
ant he would kill his wife if she did
not relinquish the homestead and let
him sell the place and go to the Klon-
dixie.
The night before the tragedy Schofield
asked his wife to let him sell the
ranch. She refused. He threatened
to kill her, slapped her and called her
vile names. Saying he was going to
kill her, he went into the bedroom and
got his shotgun. When he returned
with it, Mrs. Schofeld ran screaming
from the house. butcher got a rifle
and went out to her.
Schofield meantime was cursing and
swearing that he would kill all the
household. Mrs. Schofield finally said
she was going into the house, her life
being hell anyhow, and she might as
Well be dead. She went to the porch
and opened the door to go in. Dutch
er was behind her somewhere.
AS the door opened Schofield seemed
about TO rise from the chair and raised
er fired. The ball passed close by Mrs.
Schofield's head. as she did not ex-
pect the shot, and went through Scho-
fields shirt sleeve. This explains the
shot of the first night
That night butcher said he was going
to leave. Schofield tried to get him
into the house, but he refused. Next
morning the row was renewed. Scho-
field did not know butcher was on the
place, and said he was going for an
officer to hunt him up, but if he saw
him ON the road he would shoot him
down.
Schofeld, who was wild with rage
and liquor, got his gun after he started
the row, and said he would shoot Mrs
Schofield because she said she would
have him arrested if he burned the
house to get the insurance. While he
was chasing Mrs. Schofield with the
gun butcher saw him coming, and went
TO Mrs. Schofield's aid. AS Schofeld
opened the woodshed door with the
gun in his hand butcher shot him, and
he fell dead in his tracks
The statement of the attorney made
a sensation. 1t is generally believed to
be the truth, and all the mystery OF
the shooting is now cleared UP.

AN ELOPING COUPLE.
The Brother of the Girl Threatens
to Kill His Sisters Lover.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 20. - The
mystery surrounding the disappearance
of Miss Fannie Rutherford, the daugh-
ter of a well-known steamboat owner
of Minneapolis, in June last, has been
cleared up to a certain extent by the
arrival in this city of her brother Har-
ry, who traced her across the continent.
only to find that she had again return
ed East.
It now appears that Miss Rutherford
eloped with Arthur Lootz, nephew of a
known business man of Chicago,
by whom he was formerly employed as
an accountant. He was formerly res
ident of Covington, KY, and comes of
a good family, but for some time past
is said to have been a fugitive from
justice, and it is claimed by her broth
er that Miss Rutherford was unaware
of this fact when she consented to
elope with her lover, whom she met
in the South.
Young Rutherford traced the couple
to a lodging house on Post street, in
this city, where they were known as
Mr. and Mrs. Turner. Several days
after their arrival a private detective
called upon their landlady to make in
quiries about a couple, whose descrip-
ton tailed with theirs, and upon learn
ing of this fact Turner and his wife
left hurriedly, stating that they had
been recalled to Chicago.
During their residence here the Wo-
man never left the house, and spoke
to no one but the landlady.
Young Rutherford is determined to
follow the connie until he finally over
comes them, and those who know him

In the bill it is further asked that the

GREATER NEW YORK POLITICS.
GEORGE MAY BECOME A DAN
GEROUS CANDIDATE.
Richard Croker, However, Predicts
a Plurity of $4,000 for
Van Wyck.

NEW YORK, Oct 20.-Politicians OF
all sorts are greatly interested IN the
probable effect of the bitterness dis
played in the municipal politics upon
the results in the State at large. The
effects principally discussed are those
affecting the chances of Wallace ana
Parker. respectively the Republican
and Democratic nominees for Chief
Judge of the Court of Appeals. and
those of the legislative candidates indi-
vidually.
IT is conceded that the bitterness de :
veloped between the partisans of Low
and Tracy, if not stronger than that
between George and Tamlnany, is like
Iy to be more widespread in its results.
Strongest Democrats claim--though
they can give no substantial basis Cor
their assertion-that Parker will run
so far ahead of Wallace in Greater
New York, as to assure his election.
Already there are charges of trading
on legislative candidates, and the
length and complexity of the ballots
cannot fail to confuse the more illit-
crate voters.
Conservative men are beginning to
comment on the belittling of the George
vote by leaders of the regular parties,
and recall to attention the vote of 1886,
in which the single taxer received more
than 90. 600 when before no one would
concede him a third of that total. The
deduction the conservatives make is
that George will surprise the minimiz-
ers of 1897, as he confounded those of
1886.
Richard Croker is credited with the
prediction that Van WycS will have a
plurality of $4,000 and that $4,000 is
safe to bet on. Meanwhile there is
is outward and visible signs of betting,
and actual placing of money has not
yet begun to any considerable extent.

Yale line almost at will and ran up a
total scole of IA points to Yale's is.
scoring three touch-downs against the
home team, the largest score ever made
on the Yale field against Yale eleven.
Yale secured no more touch-downs than
did the visitors. but her goal kicker,
Guard Cadwallader, was successful in
trying for goal, while Hill, who made
the attempt after the Brown touch
downs, failed in all but one chance. 1t
was a terrific shock for Yale to see
her lire swept away by the Brown
backs, after the manner in which
Princeton found it all holes last fall,
but the medicine was swallowed with
the hope that it will be beneficial.
