A despatch from Coudersport, Pa . sny:
The pretty little lumlx-r farm in:; towns of
Austin, Costell.i. ;.-il. t.n and M.vorcV Hun, in
Potter county, are ..n th veru-e of a p:inic. two
especially ln-iiiL: tli,e:it,-ni-l w i r h niiriihihition
from tires that seem t f.-r:i; :in i;iiM-ii' tr:il'le
wall on every side. I'-j.- si-. r.il t!.
skies have been lighted up waii tire-. :ipprtre:i
tly in every direction bufc little tears wri :- en
tertained by ppli' living in the towns, a9
those threatened and iu dani:- r were fanners
in the country districts or lumber cninps in
the midst of the blazing forest.
In spite of every effort, however, the flames
crept In snaky lines of smoke and tliinio to
ward the helpless towns, nntil it vrns seen the
people must fight buck the tlatnes or have their
very houses burned don n over their heads.
At Moore's Kun, on the Sinueinalionini; road,
a train-load of seventy -five willing men, sent
out from Austin, had Im-oii hirhting bnek the
fire by every conceivable means. They made
trenches, piled up earth and lighted backfires,
but were Dually nhlicrd to retreat.
The meu hastily larded the train and
started to make a run to another point, when
it was found that they were hemmed in by the
forest fires on one side and a bue skidway of
logs on the other. It was finally decided to
dash past the burning skidway, and the en
gineer and fireman, with faces covered with
dampened clothesand hands and arnw wrapped
in wool, mounted the little engine and pulJed
out through the wall of tire, i he seventy-five
exhausted men gathered iu groups on the flats
for protection, or lay on their faces on the
floor. As the blazing furnace of logs was ap
proached the heat became unbearable, and th
smoke so blinding on i stifling the men wero
obliged to cover their mouths with clothes.
Just opposite the nil I lions of feet of burning
logs, where the heat and smoke and thuue
w ere the greatest a terrible accident occurred.
The engineer had forgotten that such great
heat would surelv spread the rails, and he
pulled the throttle w ider in the ho' of sooner
escaping from a torrent of heat and smoke.
Then there was a lurch, mi om:mus heaviug
and a shriek of despnir as the train toppled
over into the fire. A scene ensui-d never to
be forgotten by those w ho escaped, though
every man will bear to his grave a mark of
that awful moment.
The cars caught fire like so many ptiper
playthings and the meu within, half blinded
and scarcely realizing anything except that
they were being slowly roasted to dcaih,
straggled fearfully to retrain the track, where
safety lay for a time at least. Thus uninjured
from the fall, and only smarting from the pniu
of intense heat, tfiey bravely turned their
burned, blackened hands to aid their more un
fortunate fellows- Superintendent Badger, of
the Sinnemahoniiig Valley Rood, was ia
charge of the relief xain, nnd hud worked the
hardest of all to save the properties of others.
When the train ditched and rolled over so
suddenly, he must have teeii injured so us to
be unable to help himself, and he w as slow ly
bnrned to death. It is know n that six others
also perished at once or died sisui after, and
thirty others of the party were badly burned,
many probably fatally, owing to fears that
they inhaled the flames that seemed to fairly
spring into their faces. Some others of the
party are missing ana tneir late is unknown
though they are likely to be in the charred
woodof the log of the train.
A wrecking party started lor the scene a?
soon as the fearluJ news spread. Many rela
tives of the men injured insisted on lavoin
panving the wrecking train, though they iil
hardly be able to reach the place of the wreck
unless the fires have burned themsch i-s out.
Owing to the great devastation communication
is badly interrupted, nn l it is impossible to
learn the names of the men burned or those
still missing.
As to the damage, it is known that l'o 1 1
feet of hemlock logs and timber, and J."i,o
cords of valuable bark has been d. s.Toy. si, an 1
the fire are racing without r.n appreciable
diminution. A million uf lights seem to be
burning from every inountc.in and hillside,
and the air is so oppressive that many workers
faint from exhaustion and are dragged aw.iy
from a flame that bos done nothing as y. t but
steadily advance.
The body of Superintendent Padu-cr h:ts
been found burned to a crisp, ami the e ntire
party would have perish.-d in the burning
train or forest tire, had they not n i--..-'-sed
themselves in a crecx.

EXPEDITION TO THE ARCTIC.
Lieutenant Peary TropiMei to Cross the
j "Ice I.llnk."
The Academy of Natural Science, Phila
delphia, will send an expedition to the Arctic
ocean. The expedition will sail from New
York about June 1. This expedition is an
' outgrowth of the expedition to be headed by
Lieutenant Robert E. Peary. U.S. N.. for th?
j inland exploration of Greenland. Lieutenant
j Peary's expedition is to go out ui:d r the
i auspices of the Academy of Natural Sciences,
i and w ith the moral backing aud patronage of
I several other eminent scientific societies.
Since the formulation of his scheme of
crossing the "ice blink" of Greenland on the
line of his reconnoissnnce of several years ago,
' and with the object of locating the northern
J terminus of Greenland and filliiM; out the
: coast line as has never been practicable by
explorations by water, the faculty and patrons
of the academy have discussed the subject ot
sending an independent scientific expedition
into northern waters.
The program is to charter a steamer for the
Milliliter months. The passengers will consist
, of Lieutenant Peary and his little band of six
; or eight hardy Northmen nnd a party of ,
scientists, appointed by the faculty of the
Academy of Natural Sciences, tor exploration
! through the Arctic seas. The latterparty will
. consist of specialists in all branches of natural
sciences.
I The original program of Lieutenant Peary
1 was tosiiil for St. Johns, X. H.. w ith his party
I at about this time, so as to make St. Johns by
! June 1. From that port he would take a
w haler for Greenland, and attack the ice-blink
! at the advantageous point. While his de
parture is delayed for a couple of weeks by
the new arrangements he will probabv lose
no time in attacking the ice-fields, from the
fact that they will tteam directly from New
1 ork to Greenland, and escap the delay
incident to a sailing voyage from St. Johns.
RODE A MULE TO DEATH.
A Foolhardy Arkansan Races with a Loco
motive for the I.ast Time.
Peter Smith, of Fisher, a station on the
Cotton Belt Railway, twenty miles south of
Newport, Ark., has been in the habit of riding
a fast horse ahead of a passenger train on the
track for about half a mile to a crossing, where
he would turn aud laugh at the trainmen as
the train sped by.
His success in beating the train to the cross
ing on his horse encouraged him to try it w ith
a mule. He mounted his mule, and as the
train Marled up Peter set out ahead at full
gallop. It soon became evident that the mule
was not swift enough to reach the crossing in
time. The train continued to gain on him
very fust, and w hen w ithin half a dozen yards
of the crushing the mule stumbled and fell. It
rolled over the rails, but Smith was run over
by the train.
His head was rut off. both legs were cut
from his body and scattered along the road lor
some distance.

STATE OF TRADE.
N'o General Movement, But Considor
abe Activity in ta3 West,
A rine Outlook for the Crops C'ol.l Weath
er Interrupts Seasonable triitilc
Business I'allures.
Special telegrams to limd'trm' as in pro
reeding weeks, do n-jt show a general growth
in tin- volume of trade in staples, although
theft; are instances where business is reported
quite active and equal to expectations, even
exceeding records of the like week a year ago.
Minneapolis tells such a story, as does St.
Paul, and, somewhat modified, the like is true
at Omaha. There has been a pronounced gain
nt Chicago.
Nowhere else are announced expanding
volumes of business and records in excess of
lSftO. Cold weather, has interrupted buying
of some seasonable goods, but not seriously.
West and South the crop outlook is all that
could ic desired. Sugar is said to be a little late
in Louisiana, but except the probability of a
smaller area, planted to cotton, this month, all
sgricultural staples promise heavier yields
than last year.
COSTLY IN-rUSTRAL DISTI KHANCES.
Industrial disturbances the first week in
May have been numerous and costly. Nearly
12", hjO coal miners struck for various causes,
although a general eight-hour demand was
not made. The building and allied trades have
been disturbed by the eight-hour movement,
and the total number of industrial workers on
strike is not far from 5U.O0, as compared with
.r4,iHX) one year ago.
Announcements of the suspension of the us
ual flannel sales have lent strength to the tone
ofthe woolen goods market generally. Wool
is dull, with low- grade Australians in large
supply and poor demand. Low grade domes
tic wool is lc lower.
Sl'OAIt RATHER WEAK.
Sugar is weak and Jc off on raw and refined
on weakness abroad. Domestic demand is
still good, but prices promise to favor buyers
till the June fruit canning demand sets in
Business failures in the United States num
ber 166, against l'JO Inst week and 15 2 this
week last year. The total, January 1 to date
is 4423, against 4290 last year.
Money nas been more sensitive during the
week, owing to continued exports of gold,
with a prospect of further disturbance in
European money markets, owina; to Russia's
demand for gold. Bank clearings at fifty
eight cities for the week amountto $1,331,134,
004, a decrease from this week last year of 1.7
per cent.
At fifty-seven cities New York's total ex
cluded a gain of 2 per cent, is shown. Gold
shipments, fears of tidbit money, and uneasy
conditions abroad, have created a depressed
tendency in share speculation, although the
harmonious railroad meeting, the punishment
of rate cutting, and the adoption of plans to
render the Western railroad agreement more
stringent, had a sustaining effect. Bonds are
dull and steady.
Exror.TS OF wn E AT.
Exports of wheat, and flour as wheat, from
both coasts increased pgain this week equall
ing I from the United States exclusively),
'-Virj.iri bushels, against 1,87.3,270 bushels in
the first week of May, 18!)-, 1,273,000 bushels
in 1SS: and 1,4.0.5,0-x) bushels in lsi. The
total July 1, to May 7, is 4,170,043 bushels.
In a like portion of 1889-00, it was 93,270,000
bushels, in lS4d-89 it was 75,000,000 and in
13o7-.SS; 110.13y.000 bushels.
Official reports with estimates indicates that
onlv alwut 77,000,000 bushels of wheat, visible
and invisible, remained in the United States
on May 1. llrad.it reel's aud Beerbohm's to
tals of stocks of wheat, United States and Can
ada, afloat for Europe and available in Europe
show that supplies have fallen off from Janu
ary 1 to May 1. 1891, only 1:1,075 000 bushels
as compared with SS.OOii.iiOO bushels in a like
portion of 180(1, and 43,96o',000 bushels in four
months of 1SS9. The price of wheat nppears
to show renewed strength after dropping 10c
per bushel from the highest point reached.
WORK AND WORKERS.
The plumbers in Dubuque, Iowa, have
gone on strike for $3 for a day of eight-hours.
The marble setters in St. Louis have been
granted their dsmand for fi for eight-hours'
work.
The m iners :n (he five mines in Evansvillc,
Indiana, have gone on strike for an eight
hour day.
The painters in Bay City, Michigan, have
gone on strike for nine hours' work and ten
hours' pay.
Fulk hundred lathers went on strike in
New ork for a uniform rate of wages of $4 a
day. They have been getting from 2.50 to $3.
The carpenters in Covintrton, Kentucky,
declared their strike ended. " The decision of
the Hoard of Arbitration was favorable to their
claims.
Thk frame, s' strike in Xew York is practi
cally ended. Fnion men applied to the frame
bosses for work, and every boss who needed
men could get as many as the- wished.
Nearly' all the men employed on city con
tract work in Dultith. Minnesota, have gone
on strike for j-2 per day. They have been
getting $1.50, and tiie contractors offer $1.75.
A COKE famine is threatened at Chicago,
owing to the strike in the funnel Is vill district.
The Illinois Steel Company and the Calumet
Steel and Iron Company have been compelled
to abandon their furnaces for want of fuel, and
more than 1,500 men have been thrown out of
work.
Til F. third annual convention of the National
Association of Machinists was held in Pitts
burg. 17.) delegates were present from all
parts of the Union, Canada and Mexico. The
association has a membership of 22,00, and
the craft, working under the nine-hour rule,
is said to be content. The name will be
changed to international to cover the widening
scope of the membership.
A DEsr.VTCH from Chicago says that there is
every prospect that the action of the North
Illinois coal operators in refusing to grant the
request of the miners' representatives for a
conference to settle the question of wages will
be followed by a general strike of all the
miners in that district. Ten thousand miners
are employed iu the Northern coal fields.
At the Miners' National Convention, in
Brazil, Indiana, it was resolved to accede to
the demands of the operators and go to work
at once. They have notified the operators
that they will sign the contracts individually
it the mines, under protest, to waive their
rights under the laws find resume work any
hour. The rights waived are to be a bi-weekly
pay day and the weighing of coal before
screening.
About 400 carpenters in Milwaukee, Wis
consin, are on strike. About 1000 remain at
work for contractors who have granted their
demands to have the minimum rate of pay
fixed at 27i cents per hour. The men who
remain at work agree to pay 20 per cent, of
their wages, while the strike is on, into a fund
for the support of the strikers. The carpenters
have decided to disregard the rule of the
Building League forbidding them to work
with non-union men of other trades, and the
unions have authorized their members to work
for anybody who will pay the union scale of
wages.
POISON IN THE WHISKEY.
An Old Man's Ieath the Result of a Ten
Year's Feud.
At Canhvell, Washington county, Ken
tucky. Jefferson Holiday, Sr., was invited by
James Matherty to take a drink of w hiskey
out of a bottle. The old man took a large
draught, but remarked that it tasted very bit
ter; also, expressing his surprise that Matherty
did not also drink. At this Matherty osten
sibly raised the bottle to his lips, but let it
fall, spillimr the contents on the ground.
After partiiking of the whiskey Holiday was
almost instantly taken with excruciating pains,
and in an hour died in great agony. Mr. Holi
day is the father of Jefl nnd Jim Holiday,
who overtook Cal Vest while returning home
from this place last February and shot him to
death in the presence of his bride, for which
they arc now in jail. It is the opinion of
many that Matherty was employed by some of
'he Vest family to do the deed because of the
killing of Cal Vest, as he was seen talking to
one of the Vest boys just before inviting the
old man to drink. The families have been at
outs for ten years, and this is the fifth death in
consequence. Indignation was so great
that
Matherty disappeared before he could
be ar-
rested.
The miners of the Boone coal fields at
Boone, Iowa, have signed contracts fixing the
price of mining for the next year at one dollar
per ton. No demand for an eight-hour day
w&i made.
