Threatened by Flames.

CoNNELLsv1LLE, Pa, Oct. 24.-Con-
nellsville is blinded today with the ter
rifle forest fires which are raging with
out any interruption all along the crest
and sides of Chestnut ridge. The situa-
ton is really serious, SO extensive and
wide is the area of flames. The air is
SO laden with the binding blue smoke
that the citizens of Connellsville cannot
see across the river, and every house is
filed with the haze. Fires have crept
down and are drifting their burning
embers over South Connellsville. At
the head of the flames may be seen
flocks of hot and weary birds, squirrels
and other game.
