UNTOLD DAMAGE RESULTING.
Millionaires Hard Pressed to Save
Their Palatial Summer Homes
-Leaden Skies Offer No
Hope of Rain.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New York, June 6.-While the food-gates
of heaven are deluging the West, causing
untold damage to property, the Eastern
section of the country is suffering from an
unprecedented drought. Forest fires. the
direct result Of the suns rays, have cast a
pail of smoke over New York and neigh
boring States. and n glance at the leaden
skies would lead one to believe that rain
must be coming soon; but the only clouds
are OF smoke.
This cloud covers wide area, and, ac-
cording to Captain Scott OF the British
steamer Tuscarora, which has just come
into port from London. has worked its
way COO miles out at sea. Even away out
there, Captain Scott says. the sun was OBJ
secured.
Dispatches from various places in the
Adirondacks, as well as in Long Island.
New England and New Jersey, state that
the forest fires are still burning fiercely.
The damage to timber lands mounts up in
the millions. and the summer homes Of
many millionaires have been saved only by
the hardest kind Of work.
The loss in the Adirondacks region by the
fires this year is without precedent. The
parks belonging to ]. Pierpont Morgan.
Timothy L. Woodruff and Alfred G. Van
derbilt in the Racquet Lake district. have
been seriously threatened, and the private
park of Doctor w. Seward Webb has suf-
fered severely. large portion Of IT being
reduced to blackened stumps. Doctor
Webb's loss alone is 100000.
William Howe of Lake Placid was shut
in by the flames while fighting fire near the
foot of Mount Marcy late yesterday and
was smothered to death.
Still the local forecaster holds out very
little relief. He predicts that there may
possibly be light shower" some time be-
fore tomorrow night.
Crops OF all sorts are burning up and the
damage TO Eastern farmers because of the
drought is inestimable.
A serious collision took place to-day on
the New York. New Haven and Hartford
| Railroad at Ffshkill landing. Two heavy
| freight trains crashed and the crews saved
their lives by jumping. The engineers and
| firemen said the smoke from the forest. fires
| was so dense that they could not see the
