Corin-ust'oKT. I'a., May 12.—The pretty little lumber-farming towns of Austin, Costello, (ialcton and Moore's Hun, in Potter county, arc on the verge of a panic, two especially being threatened with annihilation frmn (ires that seem to form an impenetrable wall on every side. For several days the skies have been lighted up wivli fires apparently in every direction, but little fears were entertained by people living in the towns, as those threatened were farmers in the ,i:ntrv districts and the lumber camp in the midst of the bla/.ing forests. In spite of every cfVort.. however, the Ilames crept steadily, in snaky lines of smoke, and llaine, toward the helpless towns until it was seen the people mu£t tight back the flames or have their very houses burned down over their heads.

At Moore's Unn, on the pretty Sinnemahoning road, a trainload of seventy-live willing men who had been sent out from Austin Sunday night had been fighting back the lire by every conceivable means. Thev made trenches, piled up earth and lighted back fires, but were finally obliged to retreat. The men hastily boarded the train and started to make a run to another point, when it was found they were hemmed in bv the forest fires on one side and a huge skidway of logs on the other. It was finally decided to clash pa^t the burning skidway. and the engineer and firemen, with faces covered with dampened cloths and their hands and mounted tin through the wall of lire. The seventy live exhausted men gathered in groups on tho flats for protection, or iav on their faces on the floor. As the blazing furnace of log* was approached the heat becamc unbearable and the smoke so blinding and stifling the men were obliged to cover their mouths with cloths. list opposite the million feet of burning logs, where the heat and smoke and llaine were the greatest, a terrible thing occurred. The engineer had forgotten that such great heat would surety spread the rails and he pulled the throttle wider in the hope of sooner escaping from the torment of heat and smoke. Then there was a lurch, an ominous heaving and a shriek of despair as the train toppled over into the hell of fire beneath. A scene ensued neve: to be forgotten by those who escaped, though every man will hear to his grave a mark of that awful moment. The cars caught tire like so many paper playthings, and the men within halfblinded and scarcely realising anything* except that they were being slowly roasted to death, struggled fearfully to regain the track where safety lay, for a time at least. Those uninjured from the fall and only smarting from the pain of intense heat bravely turned their burned, blackened hands to aid their more unfortunate fellows.

THE DAILY JOURNAL.

VOL. VI—NO. m. ORAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA TUESDAY, MAY 12, 1891. PRICE 2 CENTS,

Randolph, Cattaraugus county, on the western division of the Erie. The fire started in a large tract of old liark, where the dead licmlook, felled und standing, afforded material on which it fed and spread with fearful rapidity. Millions of feet of lumber

and thousands of cords of bark were de-

stroyed in a short time. The Alleghany

liUmber Company alone lost ii0,000,0l)0 feet of lumber and between 15,000 and 20,000 cords of bark. This will be a money loss of between SI 50,000 and

$200,000 with no insurance. Smaller concerns in the burned district lost in proportion, the total loss being estimated at over $'40,000 within an area of a few miles. The mad rush of the flames was made perilously apparent to the. trainmen on the Alleghany & Kin/.ua railroad between lied

House and French's station. The (ire swept everything clear as it passed through the dead trees, and was in fact a great wave of flame rolling bodily onward. Conduc-

tor Hump saw this wave comintr, its roar having been heard for some time. It was chasing the train. The conductor signaled his engineer to put on steam and run away from the fire. Hut although the engineer got up a speed of 35 miles an hour lie could not run away from the fiery wave but it gained on him so rapidly that in a few minutes the head of the wave had caught up with the train and passed it like a Hash. Conductor Hump had the train reversed as quickly as possible and the train was started back at its greatest speed to escape from the fierce furnace. The ilames swept by not more than 25 feet from the track and the heat was terrible. The area of the wave was soon past, but its track was a suffocating, stifling waste of embers, red hot ashes and blinding smoke. The run out of the terrible district was made in a few minutes, but not without much suffering among the men on the train. The engineer and fireman lay flat in the call and the other trainmen prostrated

anus wrapped in wool, themselves face down on the cars. Conlittle engine a::d pulled out duetor Hump was severely burned, and

one of his men liud his clothing burned off in stn-i-nil plnoos and his flesh frightfully blistered. The railroad men say that the wi.vo must have been traveling at least 40 mile's an hour, and the roar could be heard 3 miles away.

I.OSSKS

At this hour it is impossible to secure details, though enough is known of the scene that followed the hurling of the struggling mas* of men into the furnace of flames to say its like had never occurred before. Superintendent Badger, superintendent of the Sinnemahoning Valley railroad, was in charge of the relief train and had worked the hardest of all to save the properties of others. When the train ditchcd and rolled over so suddenly he must have been injured so as to be unable to help himself, and owing to the smoke and panic he was not found until too late—jammed in the wreck, he had evidently slowly burned to death. It is known that six others also miserably perished at once or died soon afterward and thirty others of the party were badly burned, many probably fatally, owing to their inhaling the flames that seemed to fairly spring into their faces. Seven others of the party are missing and their fate is unknown, though they are likely to be found in the charred wood of the logs or train. Kelief parties started for the scene as soon as the fearful news spread, many male relatives of the men injured insisting on accompanying the train, though they will hardly be able to reach the place of the wreck unless the fires have burned themselves out.

The body of the superintendent lias been found burned to a crisp and the entire partv would have perished in the burning train or forest fire had they not immersed themselves in a creek. The fires have been raging forty-eight hours, twelve solid miles of lumber in one district have already been burned.

Owing to the great devastation done to everything in the way of the tire communication is badly interrupted, and it is impossible to learn the names of the men burned or those still missing. As to the damage, it is known 40,00iUKHt feet of hemlock logs and timber and 2.\MM cords of valuable bark have already been destroyed, and tho Ures are raging without any appreciable diminution.

The people are praying for rain, tus It seems nothing but a drenching will I quench the flames that have grown so tierce they mu-t either be extinguished bv the floods of heaven or burn out for hick of material. A million beacon lights seem to be burning from every mountain and hillside, and the air is so oppressive that many workers faint from exhaustion and are dragged away from a flame that has done nothing as yet but steadily advance.

'l'he fires are worst on the lands of the (loodvears, near Austin. The forest has been burning since .Saturday. It is estimated that !0,00u,000 feet of logs and 10.000 cords of bark have been destroyed, besides ten miles oC tram railroad. The timber lands owned by Goodyear liros., of Buffalo, ure situated in Potter, MeKeaii and Tioga counties and cover about 103.000 acres. The firm's extensive saw-mills are located at Austin, Pa., and are capable of turning out 4,000,000 feet of lumber per day. The Goodyears built the Sinnamahoning Valley railroad some years ago to carry their lumber to the Western New York fc Pennsylvania road. Near Warren the. loss is also very heavy, and this, with other property, was destroyed: Six oil rigs of llrown lseegan forty-eight rigs of

I IIK.NTOS. X. May 12.—A disastrous tire broke out on Saturday and is raging between Mount Pleasant and Petersburg, in Cape May county, N. J. It is reported that the lire was started by -Charles Cranncr, who was burning brush, and allowed the Ilames to get beyund his control. The lire has burned 4 miles in one direction ami 3 in another. Much damage has been done to tho new Seashore railroad. and acres of line timber have been burned over.

IN MUIIUIA.V.

'-DKTIIOIT. Mich., May 12.—The hoped for security from Sunday night's rain did not materialize for the panic-strick-en inhabitants of the burned district. Some idea of the enormity of the fire district can be gained from the fact that almost any two of the dozen counties now filled with lire is as large as the whole state of Rhode Island. The Toledo, Ann Arbor .fc Northern Michigan ruilroad has been obliged to abandon all attempts to run cars north of the Clare county line. A freight train and crew had a narrow escape from cremation Monday morning. The ties in many places were so badi.v burned that the rails spread when the train When near Mores siding one the cars in the center of the train was derailed, and the train crew were obliged to abandon the rear part of tho train after working until the cars began to smoke, liefore they reached Farwell there was another derailment, and all but three of the train of eighteen ears were left to their fate. Three of the train men had badly blistered faces. The wind shifted late Sunday nig-lit and drove the battle line of fire to the southwest and into Newaygo Mecosta and Oceana counties. I ook station and llarton. both in the line of the fire, have not been heard from and posed to be dc-ittivcd, 1 he sp I struck a bai in l.ill.v early Monday morning and short1v after set fire to three other bnil'lings.

Highest of all in Leavening Power.— U. S. Gov't Report, Aug. 17, 1889,

WAKF.tKK NKWS KttoM MI: TOAST. SAN FKANCISCO. May 12.—The fact no loTiger is concealed, even in otlicial naval circles, that the. swift cruiser Charleston is off on hot chase after the Chilian transport Itata, which left San Diego last Wednesday while under arrest, and carrying off the deputy United Slates marshal. The Itata. after leaving San Diego, took on board a consignment of rifles and ammunition which had been shipped from San Francisco on the schooner Robert and Minnie. The transfer of the hitter's cargo is believed to have occurred off tho San Clemente islands, northwest of San Diego harbor, and it is believed the Itata steamed south Friday night or Saturday morning. The t'hilian cruiser Ksmcfalda is believed to be 1 vine off Tape San Lucas, which is the southernmost point of the land in Lower California, awaiting supplies carried by the Itata. The sea run to that point is about TOO miles. The Itata being hea*«v loaded, and although dk'putcd as a fast craft, it is estimated she cannot exceed to S kinds, and the Charleston, which left San

Pedro at 4 a. m. Moiufay.it is thought certainly can overtake her or reach San Lucas in advance of the. transport.' If not found there the Charleston will pro eecd direct to Acapnlco. which will be the lirst point at which any further intelligence ran be received. Kv*n though the cruiser Ksmcralda is met as convoy of the Itata. it is understood that the orders to the Charleston are explicit on point of capture, and if the Itata is sighted it is imlievcd #crtain uow that there will be a capture or tight, or both.

The fact thai the Chilian eruiser^iccompanied the Itata north was lirst ascertained through deserters from the Itata who escaped from that steamer at San Diego. It was at lirst doubted that one of the nn»st powerful of the Chilian warships shoald go so far from the Chilian coast. at this juncture. but it is now definitely known that the Ksmcralda is in port at Acapulo on the Mexican coast, which fact the navy department at Washington was probably fully advised of when the orders were issued to the Charleston. The effort tv keep the destination of the Charleston secret, therefore. was natural, as representatives of the Chilian insurgents would be prompt to advise the Ksmcralda of the vessel's movements. It is deemed probable that the Ksmcralda will cruise north toward San Lucas in the hope of meeting the Itata before the Charleston can arrive and to protect, the cargo and crew from seizure if possible. It is known that on board the Itata arc the commander of the Ksmcralda and a large portion of her crew, and presumably a port tun of tin Esmeralda's secondary battery. There is therefore a strong Incentive on the part of the Chilian warship to meet the Jtata and prevent her being conveyed back by an American warship.

The fact that there appears now a very strong likelihood of a meeting of the two evenly matched warships under conditions that will require fine management to prevent a tight is thoroughly recognized by naval men on this coast. The orders to Cajt. Hemv, of the Charleston, are well authenticated to be binding in the matter of the recapture of the Itata, if sighted, and on the part of the Ksmcralda, it is believed a* fully that she will fight if she can roach the scent! in time. The Charleston and Esmeralda are sister ships as to general plan and possess nearly the same armament. The Esmeralda, however, has two pivot guns of 10-inch calliber, with a weight of twentyfive tons each, while the Charleston has two 8-inch rifles, fore and aft, weighing twelve and a half tons. The Ksmcralda is regarded by some critics as outmatching the Charleston in case of alight, but apart from these guns the armaineuts of tho two ships are practically the satue. The Charleston is the swiftest ship, and while never in action has a splendid crew and a fightiug commander.

There are no telegraph stations south of Ensenada, just south of the boundary line in Lower California, so that, save such meager information as may be brought north by one of the Panama or coast steamers, nothing further ts likely to be heard from her or the Itata until the Charleston returns or is heard from at some of the Mexican ports, which caunot occur before Thursday or Friday next.

The afternoon papers print interviews with lawyers as to the legal status in case the Charleston should overtake or sink the Itata. The views expressed were that, while the Itata Hies the Chilian flag, according to all advices received she is not a representative of any constituted authority. Balinaceda is still the head of the Chilian government, and ho alone is recognized by foreign govcrnincuts. The Itata was a government I vetytel, but th? w%f ioU«4 Uy tbe in*

surgents and is being used against the rccognizcd government, ami therefore the insurgents have no legal standing. In case the Ksmcralda interferes to prevent the capture of the Itata she can only be considered in the same category with the Itata.

Cir\ OF Mi:\u*o, May* 12.— Foreign Minister Mari^cal says that all necessary steps have been taken so that when the, Itata reaches any Mexican port she will not. be allowed to land. She will, however, be allowed to purchase a small quantity of victuals, but no coal. The government., the minister says, is resolved to observe strictly the treaty obligations with Chili and not to harbor insurgents.
