SECOND EDITION MERCIFUL SHOWERS! Welcome Rains Come to the Rescue of Weary Pennsylvania Fire Fighters. RUSSELL CITY ALL RIGHT. Cut Off For Hours by Walls of Flames, But Finally Emerged From the Fiery Ordeal Safe. DOUBT AS TO COON RUN. Conflicting Reports Concerning the Fate of the Little Settlement- -Hundreds of Oil Rigs Destroyed.

Worst Fire Ever Known in the Region. Bradford, June rains came to the rescue of the worn-out fire fighters late yesterday, subduing and putting, out the frightful forest fires which have raged 'in McKean and Elk counties since last Saturday, Never in the memory of the living were they so fierce hereabouts before. The foliage throughout the woods, first killed by the frosts and then dried by the sun, was licked up by the flames, which spread through miles of these forests with incredible rapidity, Russell City, reported Monday night as destroyed, emerges from its fiery ordeal Intact. For hours it was cut off from communication with other towns and that was why it was supposed to have been destroyed. Telegraphle communication was reestablished at 7 o'clock last night.

Its inhabitants fought the fire desperately all night, and this afternoon rain came to their rescue. Only two dwelling houses on the outskirts of the village were destroyed. News also comes from Russell denying the report that Coon Run was wiped out. The telegraph operator at Russell says that Coon Run was entirely surrounded by fire, and several buildings were burned, including the Coon. Run- telegraph- station- and the Elk county pipe line tidewater pump stations, but the village itself was saved.

Another report confirms the earlier' news that the place was utterly wiped out. From Russell City to Coon Run the flames rolled above the treetops with a roar that could be heard for a mile. Tanks containing oll added energy to the flames, and a fierce gale was blowing. Those who live in that section were driven in terror from their backwoods homes. Many were prostrated with the cheat, but so far as can be learned there was no loss of lofe.

Many animals, wild and tame, were cremated. Near Knapp's Creek, 12 miles northeast of Bradford, 150 oil well rigs were burned. These include a drilling well which had just struck the oll-bearing rock. The derricks were destroyed and the tools dropped into the hole. The gas ignited and at last accounts was still ablaze.

Many wells that flow by heads increased the fire's energy. In that district among the losers were F. Day, 21 oil well rigs; F. F. Davis, Franchot M.

Kelly, C. R. Hatch, T. H. Russell, 12; L.

Shanfeld, T. Burns, F. M. Johnson, Crooks William Harris, J. Googe, George Dana, 8.

The owners of the wells also lost large quantities of petroleum in tanks. At State Line, a small village on the line of the Western New York Pennsylvania narrow gauge, houses owned and occupied by J. B. Campbell, Grant Smith and John Cordott were destroyed. About 3,000,000 feet of lumber belonging to A.

Rumsey Co. was consumed at Chipmunk. The lumber town of West Line in this county, 13 miles south of Bradford, was destroyed partly this afternoon. The residents deserted their houses and saved what goods they could. The town 18 in the heart of a dense forest, and news concerning the losses there is very meager.

J. C. Campbell, a sam-mill owner, lost his plant and several million feet of lumber and logs. In the woods between Bradford and Kinzua the lumbermen lost heavily, but tonight's rain storm has put a stop to the flames. At Kanesholm, the Associated Producers' Company lost two oll well rigs.

At OIl Valley four stocked coal-sheds and a large quantity of cherry and hemlock lumber were fuel for the flames, Schoonmaker Bullis' saw mill on the Allegany Kinzua road, west of this city, was a total loss. Two million feet of lumber belonging to Kennedy Davis of this city was consumed in the same vicinity. In Rutherford Hollow, Brant Bauer, J. T. Jones and J.

C. Greenewald lost seven oll rigs. Bemis Son lost 000 feet of logs at Augustin, Elk county. Many of the logs were piled up in 8 pond and were burned down to the surface of the water. The fires starting in 50 many places simultaneously gives credence to the theory that they originated from the rays of the sun beating down on the dried leaves and ofl- soaked material and producing spontaneous combustion.

The heat on Monday and Tuesday reached 100 degrees at the noon hour. No such fires ever devastated the northern oil fleld. It will be days before a correct list of losses may be obtained. STRICTLY PERSONAL Mrs. B.

Archbishop Kain Asked the Ecclesiastical Court to Remove Him From the Trusteeship. ST. LOUIS, June 5. The cablegram from Rome puts quite a different face on supposed removal of Archbishop Kenrick as narrated yesterday. There has been a mistake somewhere and the way it came about is like this: When proceedings were recently instituted in the local courts in behalf of prominent Catholics, lay ARCHBISHOP KENRICK.

asking for the removal of Archbishop Kenrick from his trusteeship in the church property of the St. Louis diocese Archbishop Kain took a similar action in the ecclesiastical courts. He sent to the propaganda a petition setting forth the same condition of facts narrated in the prayer of tl the petitioners in the local courts. He further asked that the old archbishop be removed and that he be appointed archbishop of St. Louls in his stead.

There was A reason for this dual procedure. The local legal proceedings were instituted to determine, first, that Archbish Kenrick held church property in the diocese of Missouri as a trust; second, that he was mentally incapacitated from administering this trust; third, that 3 new trustee be appointed. The hitch came in at the last point. While Archbishop Kain was mere coadjutor archbishop of St. Louis, even though appointed with the right of succession, he had no standing in court over his appointment as successor in the trust held by the archbishop, which in view of his position was optional with the court.

The point was foreseen and Archbishop Kain petitioned Rome to appoint him archbishop of St. Louis. On May 2 he received a brief cablegram from the propaganda stating that his petition had been received and favorably acted upon. He took this to mean that his request had been complied with. What Archbishop Kain Says.

ST. LOUIs, June 5. -Archbishop Kaln, who has been appointed to the see of St. Louis, was disinclined to discuss the retirement of the venerable Archbishop Kenrick, whom he succeeds. Pwill simply state," said the archbishop, "that I have received information from the proper authority, by cable, that I have been appointed archbishop of St.

Louis de juro. The official documents linve not yet arrived from Rome, aud may not for some days. When they come, they will be properly announced." When asked if Archbishop Kenrick had been consulted on the matter, he said he could discuss the matter no further, and retired. When the same question was asked of a priest who is very near to Archbishop Kain, the reverend gentleman said: cannot suy positively, but I do not think he was. Neither do I think he has been informed of the appointment of Archbishop Kain, nor do I think he will be.

am inclined to think that the old archbishop will be allowed to pass away still believing bimself archbishop of St. Louls, if he is able to think seriously on the subject at all. Officially, I presume, he will be transferred by letter to the episcopate of Drasa, to which he was appointed when he was first made Bishop Rosatl's rondjutor. When asked if Archbishop Ryan's visit here recently was in connection with the appointment, he said: I think without doubt it was. Who was more fitted to report upon the condition of Archbishop Kenriok and of the diocose than Archbishop Ryan, who bad been here so long, and who was, you might say, Archbishop Kenrick's spiritual son? Archbishop Kain's position has been 8 most delicate one.

While be doubtless saw, 88 did others, that something should be done. had he reported to Rome that he felt that he should be appointed and the old arohbishop retired it might seem as though he were pushing himself forward. So, with the carefulness the church always exercises, the man who was most qualified to judge and to treat Archbishop Kenrick with the greatest consideration was sent to Investigate. Archbishop Kain's appointment is the result. "You cannot say that Archbishop Kenrick has been deposed either.

He has simply becn retired. To depose him would take an official, ecclesiastial ceremony, and that you will never 808. Affairs In Cuba.

A skirmish followed and the insurgents ran away, leaving three dead, a quantity of arms and five horse behind them. The Insurgent band, commanded by Maceo, has burned the village of Sevilla, near the mines of Juragua, Santiago de Cuba. Log Floating War, minent. Niagara County Anglers, WATERTOWN, N.

June 5. A legal war which promises to end in a genuine combat at arms in the Adirondacks has been in progress for nearly a year. Justice Williams has denied a motion in special term of the supreme court to grant an injunction restraining Mrs. Julia de Camp and her representatives from interfering with the floating of logs down the north branch of the Moose river by the Moose River Lumber company. As the courts have denied rellef to either of the parties Mrs.

de Camp's representatives, have placed a body of armed men at Minnehaba in the north woods and any attempt to float logs down the stream will be resisted by force.

D. Hurd. THE ALDERMEN COULDN'T BEAT IT. Tried it on the Myers Machine Eut Couldn't Change the Result. Mayor Jewett is Inclined to think that the Myers machine would put a lot of First and Nineteenth ward statesmen out of a job at election time.

The machine does its own counting. The Mayor told a NEWS reporter yesterday that when it was first talked of bringing the machine here for trial a down town Alderman boasted to him that he could beat it. "All right," said Mayor Jewett, "if you can beat them they- are useless; we will have one brought on and see how you make out." The machine came on and the very a8- tute Alderman, who thought he could "do" any kind of an election that ever was held, tried hard for two or three days to beat the machine and failed. The Mayor is inclined to think that the machines would be a good Investment for the city. Mr.

Myers has stated Aldermen that they will pay for themselves. In three years and Mayor Jewett believes this is true. They will do away, It 18 claimed, with one half the election districts and reduce the number of election clerks, and they will put an end to holding back districts. Within 30 minutes after the polls are closed the result will be known. Death of Harvey W.

And The Truth is They Deserved to Win--The De.eat Puts Buffalo Back Into Fourth Place -Other Games. ESPECIAL TO THE EVENING Rochester, June Cyclones lost to Rochester yesterday, and by so doing went into fourth place in the pennant race, Syracuse winning from Toronto.

The home team put rattling good snappy game and surprised the 500 cranks who attended. There were many changes made in their line up and it may be said that they had the desired effect. Warner, the new catcher, occupied first base and Hamburg went Into right field. Shinnick went back to second and O'Brien to third. Warner had command the forces and he infused new life into the team.

Duryea, who was fined and suspended for his work in the box Saturday with Buffalo, was again in the game and was very much in evidence. The twirler was very effective and kept the hits of the Cyclones well scattered. Bottenus and Field were the only ones who connected with his curves to any extent and consequently when hits were needed they were not forthcoming. The visitors put up a good game and but one error marred their work. It was made by Drauby at third.

Shearon took in some extremely difficult flies, but the infield had the bulk of the work. Wise recovered from his bad attack of the day before and played brilliant ball. The Bisons scored in the third inning, when Bottenus, Field and Shearon singled in succession and two runs were the outcome. It alarmed the fans greatly, but the streak was not a lasting one and Duryea, by his excellent control of the ball, prevented any more run-getting on the part of the visitors. Wadsworth WAS hit rather freely throughout the game and just at the opportune time.

He was also very wild, and besides giving five men bases on balls he pitched wild ball twice. The score and summary best tell the tale of the Cyclones' second defeat at the hands of the tailenders: ROCHESTER. A.B. R. 1B.

NEW YORK, June fight between Corbett and Fitzsimmons is now an assured fact, all the obstacles' which have hitherto stood in the way of the battle having been removed. Joe Vendig, who is the representative of the Florida Athletic club, said: "The money, $7,000, was handed over to the temporary stakeholder, Phil J. Dwyer, today.

There is absolutely no chance for kickup this time and I stand ready to wager any amount, at odds of 10 to 1, that if the principals enter the ring, and I am sure they will, there will be a fight worth looking at, not alone from scientific points, but one that will decide the championship of the world." Dan Stewart, the representative of the Dallas business men's syndicate, said that he had turned over the money, $7,000, to guarantee the contest and to cover training expenses, and that he had just recelved word from Mr. Vendig that he had deposited it in the hands of the stakeholder. "There is absolutely no chance of failure on our part," he continued, fulfill the agreement, and I have been assured that Fitzsimmons or his representative will make good his guarantee of 85,000 on or before Friday next. I will have a conference with Vendig again today, when the entire affair may be wound up. The sporting men who patronize the uptown resorts when canvassed were unit in the belle that the fight would positively be brought off in Dallas.

Mr. Stowart'8 businesslike way impressed them favorably, and the partisans of both boxers are enthusiastic over the assurances that the long looked for struggle had been arranged for at last. Corbett is said to be doing light for work at Asbury park in preparation mill, but Fitzsimmons says that he will train close to the battle ground, possibly in Galveston. The former has the call among the sporting fraternity, his chances of winning being looked upon as the most likely by the betting men here. Lawyer Friend, when seen at the St.

James hotel, said: is no possible doubt of the fight coming off, Everything has been arranged as far as I know to the satisfaction of both parties, and, speaking for Fitzsimmons, I can tell you that he is perfectly satisfied to meet Corbett in Texas or any other place that the bout can be brought off.

MRS.

MACK BROKE DOWN. When Detectivs McMahon Questioned Her at the Time of Her Arrest She Eurst Out Orying. At the examination of Mrs. Mack yesterday afternoon Capt. Porter was recalled.

He produced the letters and involces for photographers' material taken from the McMillan homestead when the premises were searched. Bernard McMahon, inspector of detectives at Hamilton, was the next witness. He told how Mrs. Mac had called at his office on April 10 to offer some explanation about herself. The papers had just been publishing accounts of a mammoth stamp fraud in which George Morrison of the Canadian' Novelty Supply Company was said to be concerned.

She had some papers, she said, belonging to Morrison that she would like to turn over to him. In answer to questions she said she worked for Morrison and that she had obtained her position through an advertisement. Her people lived on East Fifty-ninth street, New York, according to her story, but when asked for the number she broke down and cried. She said she did not want them to know she was in trouble, but could not say what trouble she was in. This Induced Mr.

McMahon to begin an investigation. At the office the detective found two letters from Morrison to Mrs. Mack. They were offered in evidence. One instructed her to send an advertisement to Printers' Ink offering $115 worth of stamps for $100, and the other requested her to forward all his mail to the general delivery at To- ronto.

ERIE'S PERIODICAL PROTEST. President Thomas Sends a Long Letter to the Grade Orossing Commission, but it is Vain. The Erie protested as usual at yesterday's meeting of the Grade Crossing Commission. The protest was a long letter from President E. B.

Thomas. His complaint is that the present plans providing for the closing of the streets north of Exchange street will put the property of the road from Michigan to Smith streets in such a position that the company's business and the value of their realty will be impaired. The attention of the board was called to the fact that the road pays one-fiftieth of the taxes of the city, employs 2500 men and with the subsidiary companies has a pay roll of over 3000 names, paying in wages alone in the city over $160,000. The Commissioners discussed the petition of Mr. Thomas at length.

It was finally decided that it would be impossible to grant the request to keep the streets open unless the consent of the New York Central and West Shore railroads is obtained. The Commission and the Lake Shore are approaching the point of settlement. Prestdent Caldwell asked that the contract be amended so that Red Jacket street be declared closed from Scott street to the northerly line of the company's property; that Alabama street be closed from Exchange street to the Hamburg Canal, and that the proposal to put up a foot bridge at Fulton street be abandoned. The Commission was willing to make the concessions with the exception of the abandonment of the foot bridge. Chairman Adam thinks the Lake Shore will sign the contract.

The Western New York Pennsylvania road announces that it is willing to do the grade crossing work if the city will lend them the money. A letter was received in which the road asks the city to do their share of the work. promising to repay the city in 15 years. Chairman Adam will consult with President DeCoursey, Some bills were audited and the session adjourned. Ceanl Committee Meets.

OLNEY THE MAN. The President, It is Confidently Declared, Has Decided on Him as Gresham's Successor. NO ANNOUNCEMENT AS YET. Mr. Cleveland is Waiting Until He Can Find the Right Man for Mr.

Olney's Place- -What Rumor Has to Say About It, WASHINGTON, June 6. -There 1s no longer any reasonable doubt but that the president has fully determined to ask Attorney General Olney to accept the state department portfolio. While this is an undoubted fact, it is also certain that the president has not even intimated to Mr. Olney that this was his purpose. To other members of his cabinet, however, it is learned that he has stated in substance that he should ask Mr.

Olney to accept the place, and that he was delaying the public announcement in order that he might the same time name 8 successor to Mr. Olney as attorney general. Persons in a position to know what the president's purposes are anticipate 811 early announcement of Mr. Olney's appointment, and probably that of his suocensor as attorney general. Richard Olney, who is now in all probability to be advanced to the first place in President Cleveland's cabinet, has won RICHARD OLNEY.

this distinction by the able service he has thus far rendered the president on all the more important questions that have engaged public attention since the present administration began. Up to the time of Mr. Olney's first entering the cabinet he had been content to remain in private life, and although roeognized as one of the foremost lawyers in New England, he had taken little or no part in party politics and was not widely known among public men. The brilliancy of his legal attainments and the accuracy of his judgment soon led the president to trust Attorney General Olnoy's advice on important questions. During the great strike at Chicago, Mr.

Olney's services were particularly notable. He developed each step that the government authorities took and President Cleveland was so fully convinced of the wisdom of the proposed policy that he gave it thorough support and execution. Aside from the results secured in ending the strike, the recent decision of the United States supreme court has given judiodal approval of the course pursued by the government and has shown that while Mr. Olney sought new and untried means to meet a grave emergency, he moved strictly within the constitution and the laws. In this question Mr.

Olney was impelled by a desire to suppress disorder. He had shown in another case his sincere respect for the right of labor. This was in a case of the Reading railroad which sought to compel one of its employes to either sever his connection with a railway employes' beneficial organization or the company's services. Although the government had no direct interests in the case, Mr. Olney secured the permission of court to present a brief in behalf of the employes in which he held that the proposed action of the company was against justice and right.

The brief was marked by a vigorous detense of the rights of labor to organize in any way it saw fit for advancing its interests so long 88 the members were peaceful and within the laws. Not only has Mr. Olnoy's advice been followed in the affairs in the department over which he has presided, but it has guided also in many of the other subjects of wide public concern, and it is now almost universally conceded 1 that he is one of the most thoroughly equipped men that has occupled a cabinet position in many years. The new secretary of state comes from sturdy Puritan stock. His.

ancestor, Thomas Olney, came from England and settled at Salem, In 1735. He Was one of the close companions of Roger Williams and was one of the 13 men who joined Williams in founding the town of Providence. The successive generations took high rank in New England affairs, one of them being attorney general of Massachusetts. The father of Richard Olney owned andmanaged the cotton mills at Oxford and also engaged in banking. His mother was a Sigourney, descended from French Huguenots, who fled from France to this country.

The new secretary of state was one of three sons. One of them is a prominent lawyer in New York, having been district attorney for the city brother and county of New York. Another is a successful woolen manufacturer. Richard Olney was graduated from Brown university in 1856 and from the Harvard law school in 1858. He married Agnes, daughter of Judge Benjamin F.

Thomas, with whom he studled law. They have lived of late years at Boston, with summer homes near Buzcard's bay and Gray Gables, the summer residence of the president. Mr. Olney is a gentleman of fine literary attainments and tastes. Although a close student, he is a lover of outdoor sports and is a good horseman, an enthusfastic tennis player and a skillful angler.

He is a man of medium height and robust for.n, and in general appearance he conveys the impression of intense vitality and physical endurance beyond that of any man who has occupied the position of secretary of state In recent years. His face is strong, keen and Intellectual. Though his manner in somewhat reserved and austere he unbends readily to the ap: proaches of intimate friends. Mr. Olney has served one term in the state legisinture of Massachusetta and was an unsuccessful candidate for the attorney generalship of that state.

Some Jeara ago he was tendered a position upon the supreme bench of the state, but declined it. He also was prominently mentioned as a candidate for the chief justice of the United States supreme court to succeed Morrison R. Walte. In politics he is an oldtime Democrat, but was unable to support Butler for governor. He did not take a prominent part in the last presidential campalen, but rendered effective service to Mr.

Cleveland in an unobtrusivemanner. -As lawyer Mr. Olney's success has boon that of a counciller rather than that an 8 advocate. His mind is essentially of a judielal cast. He has long represented some of the most Influential Interests of New England and at the bar of Dis native state, as well as before the supreme court of the United States, he has been regarded as a masterly exponent of the JaW.

roly: ing upon conciseness of expression and clearness of statement rather than upon purely rhetorical effort for the success of his efforts. It is thought that up to this time the president has not definitely decided upon Mr. Olney's successor. A long list of names are being discussed, but every thing in that connection is purely speculative. Ex-Postmaster General Don M.

Dickinson, it is said, would be likely of appointment if he would accept. A possiblilty is: Holmes Conrad of Virginia, the present solicitor general. He has the reputation of being a man of brilliant legal attainments and enjoys the high regard of the members of the United States supreme court. The fact that Mr. Conrad comes from Virginia, however, may operate against his appointment, but in case ho is selected, it is believed that Mr.

Uhi, the presont assistant secretary of state, would be a candidate for the vacant 60- licitor generalship. Mr. Uhl was a candidate for this place at the time Mr. Maxwell was appointed and it is believed that the change from the department of state to that of justice would be most agreeable to him. ASSASSIN CLAVIJO EXECUTED, Would-be Murderer of the Captain General of Madrid Shot This Morning, MADRID, June Prima de Rivera, captain general of.

Madrid, who was shot by Captain Clavijo, is better. He has been spitting blood since he received his wound, but this is decreasing and he sleeps at intervals. Clavijo was tried by courtmartial and convicted. In his defense Clavijo stated that he was driven to commit the deed by persecution to which he had been subjected by General Prima de Rivera. He declared that the general acted under the influence of a demi monde who had grudge against him.

The general, he further asserted, had caused his pay to be withheld, with the result that he became so distressed financially that he was obliged repeatedly to appeal to the generosity of his friends. Clavijo's counsel eloquently appealed for mercy for the prisoner. He reminded the court of his brilliant military career, during which he gained promotion on the field of battle, and in conclusion said that the imposition of a death sentence would be a severe blow to the aged father and mother of Clavijo. Notwithstanding the appeal of counsel the court, after deliberation, pronounced the prisoner guilty and sentenced him to death. Salted Heads Were Spoiling.
