FURIOUS FLAMES.

A Destructive Fire la Cleveland.

(?LEVBLA*D, O Sept. 7.—-A fire broke out in the lumber yawl of Woods, Perry & Co., this evening. At this hoar (10:30) the fire has made rapid headway, and a fresh breeze has now sprang tip. The fire is beyond control find Is spreading rapidly to the adjoining yards and other manufactories. The entire flats, which are covered by railroad depot?, freight houses, lumber yards, and numer ou9 other manufacturing concern?, will probably -go.

The wind shifted at 9:30 p. M. and increased in velocity, and the solid sheet oi flame carried the fire acroce the river. The large oil and candle works ot GCOJ A.-Stanley- and Sherwin & Williams* p*int works took fire. The tire is rapidly spreading beyond control. Two steamers, located in (he lumber yardd when the lire first broke out, have been abandontd and the flame# are driving the firemen away. It is reported that five ur men perished, but this It as not been utirmcd. The Bankers' and Merctuuts' aod the Baltimore and Ooio wires will probably be interrupted unlets the lire is sooo controlled. 11 p. m.— The Fire Department is helpless, and the authorities have telegraphed to Akron* Sandusky, Canton and Elyria for assistance. Special trains art ou the wav with ste mers Irom these places. There it no possibility oi getting control »t the fire to-night. The flames have spread to the N'-w York, Pennsylvania & Ohio and Great Western Dispatch Depnw, and the firemen are now devoting all their attention to saving them.

Midnight—The fire is still raging- and has spread to the yards of Bell, Cartwright & Co., on West street, and the C., C., C. & 1. track. lhree of t»e steamers telegraphed for have arrived. The one from Painesville was the flist to respond at 11:15. Steamers from Toledo and Erie, Pa., are on the way by special trains. All the southern wires of the Western Union have been burued, including the cable house on the' south side of the river. The Banker^ and Merchant*' wires are all right and there is no probability of a fire reaching them.

The whole flats and the business portion ot the city are beautifully illuminated. The local fire department is awaiting the arrival ot the other steamers or dered.

«.

Sept. 8.—1 A. —The fire, thcugh still burning fiercely, is now confined to ten acres, covered by lumber yards and adjacent manufactories. The following is a list of firms burnea out: Woods, Perry & Co. (whose yard the fire is supposed to have originated in,) Potter, Birdaail & Co., Sturtevant Lumber Co., C. J. ng & Co.. all extensive lumber yards: House & Davidson's planing mills, Variety iron works, Stanley's oil and caa-' die works, the tracks and cars of the C. C. C. & I. and N. Y., P. & O. railroad companies. All the southern wires of the Western Union, together with their cable house, are destroyed for a quarter of a mile.

Tie origin ot the fire is supposed to be incendiary, and the loss is upward of |3, 000,000. .The fire will probably continue to burn fur several days.

Latest Particulars.

THE ABKA BURNED OVER. CLEVELAND, Sept. 8.—The scene of last night's conflagration presents a desolate appearance to-day. The fire covers an area extend it Irom Scranton avenue and the Bee Line track on the east and west and from the river to Girard street north and south. It embraced a triangle, the base of which runs from east to west 1100 lest, the two side extending soutLerly and nearly meeting a distance of 1300 feet.

The alarm was given irom box 33 at 6:57 p. m. by Frank Stanpanek, a watchman in the employ of the Variety iron works, and simultaneously box 13 was rung in. The fire had then obtained considerable headway and seemed to be in the center of Wood, Perry & Go's, yard. Enginea 1,2 and truck 1 responded to the first alarm. At 7.-02 Chief Dickinson made a call for assistance'and engines 3,6 and 7 and truck 3 were sent out. More help was called for by the chief and enginea 5,9,12 and 13 went oat with a rush. Still the department could not cope with the flames and engines 10 and 11 and truck 4 were sent out leaving the remainder of the city without protection. Even the tat reserve engine was put in the service aad aod at 8:27 the chief ordered the operator at headquarters to telegraph to the

Columbus,

Youngstown and Delaware responded. Only the last three named got lheir men in service, the aparatus not being required at the time of thair arrival. After starting the flames'extended west to the lumber yard of Potter, Birdsail ft Co.

extending from Scranton avenue to the Bee line and from the riv«-r to Center .street, eating up five million feet of lumber, twenty-seven can of Bee line loaded with merchandise, and other incidentals, each as office buildings, shanties and stables.

Having swept away the square, the flames leaped across the river on the .north and across the Bee Line embankment on the west ano eat their way into the rear of Sherwin, Williams & Co' works and G. A. Stanley's lard oil and candle factory on the north, attacking

Hubbell & Westover's lumber yard oa the we-.t. Considerable damage was done here, but the flames were isolated after a desperate fight and their progress -was checked in this direction, having destroyed everything north ot Carter street.

The fire then made its way abroes the street going south and attaching the variety Iron Works, Eynon '& Oo'a m*» chinewhop, House ft Davidson's box factory and planing milL Woods, Perry & Co's planing mill and toe Howell's Coal Company's coal yards, wholly wiping out everything embraced between Carter, Burd and Vail lard streets and Scranton averue. Step by step the flames were fought but unsuccessfully. The fire burned itself out in a southerly direction and then stopped.

Running along Scranton avenue from north to south the flames leaped across the street and attacked the New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio office, two freight offices ana the Merchants dispatch building. Quick a nd energetic work saved the day. The office and freight houses were slightly damaged, but a part of the Merchants' dispatch building was burned down. This comprises the area of the fire. The ruins are smoking and smould-. ing yet tnd eight steam fire .engines are throwing water on them. The lrsees are about two million dollars and about half covered bj insurance. For a time it looked as if the whole city was doomed to destruction and everybody mas out on tee streets until Iste in the morning.

Excitement over the double euiclde of president and cashier of the National bank of New Jersey has become intense. The snicide of Preet. Runyen, while strengthening the testimony of giant frauds in the management, causes unbounded. astonishment to the general public.

President Runyon was a farmer, 60 pears old. He lerires a wife and four children. He has been president of the bank for fivs yean.

A Correspoadeat Criticises It EDrroR GAZETTE :—I see that the Republican party is distributing a'speech of one J. M. Butler.

Without any intention of reviewing the entire speech, tor in general it is only a rehash of the defensive editorials of the Republioan press, I will call attention to the inconsistency and downright falsehood of two ot

three portions.

On the tariff, he is immense. As all others of his mental caliber are he ignores the tariff plank of the Republican platform and dodges the true iisue raised therein and advocatee a prohibitory tariff, one that will destroy all revenue. In one sentence he aays England is tor free trade and therefore favors Cleveland, and in another, that the iron workers ol South Staffordahire aod Earl Dnnraven of Birmingham are demanding a protective tariff. Protection from whom The pauper labor of England

Second: The Democratic platform dont say a word against polygamy. Sure enough. But the Republican party has been throwing "planka" at the Mormons tor the last twenty-four years, so much eo that it is regarded as a joke. Still polygamy increases.

Next: Cleveland don'i suit him. Well Cleveland is the people's candidate, not his. He Botler, has a'sttiesiuab' for a candidate who

He 6aya 'that Cleveland vetoed a bill, to prevent the manufacture of cigars in tenement houses. Ia this he, either ignorantly or deliberately lies because Governor Cleveland signed, not vetoed the bill.

WithpartUan blindness, abuses him for vetoing the elevated railway bill, but tails to intorm hia hearers, that at the next session, when another bill was introduced, after having oomplied with the law as pointed out by Clevelaud in his veto, it was purposely defeated by the Republican Senate. 5

SOVCIINOR CLEVELAND.

H! AMrtoaet the Faneert at Elaiira. ELMIRA, N. T., September 8 —This a gala jiaj lor Elmira. It is estimated that 50,000 people are on theiair grcanda. When Gov. Cleveland, accompanied by private secretary Col. Dan Lamont and Ad|jutant Gen. Farnsworth arrived no demonstrations was made, at 'the Governor's special request, aside from a salute of twenty-one guni by the Cleveland battery. The party waa met at the depot by Lieutenant Governor Hill, Mr. M. H. Arnold, and a number ot prominent citizens.

Gov. Cleveland spoke in the afternoon from a carriage in front of the manufacturers hail, and was introduced by the p#sideut ot the Fair. Immediately after Cleveland aiote, a great cheer went up from the multitude, 15,000 people ahouting themselvea hoaise. His remarks were listened to with great attention and often interrupted with cheers.

The governor spoke as follows: "It atorda me great pleasure to meet you here to-day aud to have an opportunity of inspecting the annual exhibition which illustrates the condition of agriculture ot our state. I regard these anuual fairs as something connected with the state government, because to tome extent at leaat they are fostered and aided by public funds. 1 am sure that no good citizen is inclined to complsin of the appropriation of a small part ot the people's money to the encouragement of this important interest. The fact that it is done furnishes a distinct recognition by the state ot the valuable relations which ita farmers and its farms bear to tte prosperity and welfare of the commonwealth. We boast ot our manufactuers exceeding as they do largely those of any other state, but our supremacv is clearly shown when we recall the fact that in addition to our lead in manufactures the value of our farms and their products ia second only among the states. There is a fixed jugs and reliability in the agricultural pursuits which are.not always found in other branches of industry acd human effort. The soil remsins in its place ready to be tilled, and the farmer with ruddy health and brawny arms depends a'one upon the work of his hands and the aid of Kind providence for the reward of his labor. Thus our farmers are the most independent ot our citizens. They produce, or have within their reach ail they need tor their necessities and com fort. Their crops may be more abundant at one harvest than at another, their products may command a bightr piice at one market lime than another. These conditions may expand or contract their ability to indulge in luxuries or in ex penditurea not abaolutely needful, but they ahould never be in the want ot the necessaries or comforts of life. This is the sure result of patient and well-regu-lated farming. When the farmer fails and becomes bankrupt in his business, we may, 1 think, confidently look lor sbiftlesaneBs or a too ambitious desire to own more land or stock than he can p*y for or an intermeddling with matters that btar no relation to his tsrm, or such mismanagement and ignorance as demonstiate that he has mistakes his vocation: Fortunes may be quickly amassed in speculation and loat in a day, leaving a bad example and perhaps demoralization and crime. The tradesman and manufacturer by the vicissitudes of trade or through the allurements of a short road to wealth may in- a day be overcome and bring disaster and ruin upon bun dreds of his neighbors, but in the industrious, intelligent and contented farmer of the state we find a safe and profitable citizen, alwaya contributing to its wealth and prosperity.

The real value of the larmer tu the state and nation is not, however fully appreciated until we consider that be leeds millions of our people who ate engaged in other pursuits, and that the product oi his labor fills tbe avenues ol our commerce and supplies an impoitan*. factor in our financial relations with other rations. 1 have not come to attempt to please y6u *itb cheap and fulsome prsiae, nor to magnify your worth and your importance, but 1 have come as the chief executive of tbe state to acknowledge in its behalf that our farmers yield a tuil return for tbe benefits they receive from the state government, 1 have come to remind you of the importance of tbe interests which you have in chaige aud to suggest thst notwithstanding the iarmer'a independence he cannot and must not be entirely un mindful of the value and importance to interests he hold* a just and economical goverment. It i* right and hia duty to demand that an unjust and inequitable.burdena upon agriculture and its products, however causvd, should be removed and that while the furtherance of the other later eato of the state should have due cenaideration thia important one should not be neglected. This by hia labor as a tamer and in the fall performance of hia duty aa a citizen, he will create and secure to himself his share of the result of his toil and aave and guard for all the people the most important elementin the prosperity of the state."

A monster procession in the evening concluded the celebration of the day.
