INDIANA. Strikers Stop All Midland Trains- Other State News. The Whole Line Tied Up.

ANDERSON, May 13. of the Midland road, who have been disappointed so many times about fretting 1 their pay, have at last. resorted to violence, Monday a.ftemoon a number of employes boarded an engine at Lapel and spiked it to the switch." They are now guarding- it and refuse to allow it to be removed. -The sheriff has been telegraphed The excitement along- line of'the'road is'-steadily increasing 1 and the-'nnpaid -employes declare that they will resist any attempt to take the company's property from their possession until they are paid in full. Two passenger trains were stopped at Ladoga Monday and there is not a wheel now turning upon the road.

The citizens are giving- all possible encouragement to the em- ployes in their fight ag-ainst the company and promise to assist them in resisting 1 any leg-al steps that may be taken to place the company again in possession of its property. Harry Crawford swore out warrants against a number of the employes on Saturday, but the sheriff and his deputies refused to serve them on the ground that their mileag-e fees were not advanced. In the meantime Crawford had returned to Chicago. His attorneys say that the stopping- of the passeng-er trains is in violation of the United States law, as they were carrying mail at the time, and that the authority of the government will be invoked. The employes have now been worked up to such a pitch of excitement that even this authority would be resisted unless the force employed was sufficient to overawe them.

The mixed train still stands npon the track at Waveland, and freight trains have been stopped at other places, so that all the employes are idle. New Industries at Anderson, Ind.

Whether these forgeries were committed in this state or in the treasury -is now the question, and a careful investigation, will follow. Killed by Wild Parsnips.

Details of Disaster in the Burning Pennsylvania Forests. Seven Men Known to Have Lost Their Lives, and Others Are Thought to Have Perished. KM MED IX BY FLAMBS.

pretty little lumber-farming towns of Austin, Costello, G-aleton and Moore's Run, in Potter county, are on the verg-e of a panic, two especially being threatened with annihilation from fires that seem to form an impenetrable wall on every side. For several days the skies have been lighted up with fires apparently in every direction, but little fears were entertained by people living in the towns, as those threatened were farmers in the country districts and the lumber camps in tha midst of the forests. In spite of every effort, however, the flames crept steadily, in snaky lines of smoke and flame, toward the helpless towns until it was seen the people nmst fight back the flames or have their very houses burned down over their heads. Details of the disaster to the relief train on Sunday are as follows: At Moore's Run, on the pretty Sinnemahoning road, a trainload of seventy-five willing men who had been sent out from Austin Sunday night bad been fighting back the fire by every conceivable means. They 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 by the forest fires on one side and a huge skidway of logs on the other. It was finally decided to dash past the burning- skidway, and the engineer and firemen, with faces covered with dampened cloths and their hands and arms wrapped in wool, mounted the little engine and pulled out throng-h the wall of fire. The seventy- five exhausted men gathered in groups on.thn flats for. protection, or lay on their faces on the floor. As the blazing furnace of logs was approached the heat became unbearable and the smoke so blinding and stifling- the men were obliged to their with clotbs.

Just opposite the million feet of burning logs, where the 'heat and smoke and flame were the greatest, a terrible thing- occurred. The engineer had forgotten that such great heat would surely 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 never to be forgotten by those who escaped, though every man will bear to his grave a mark of that awful moment. The cars caught fire like so many paper playthings, and the men within half- blinded and scarcely realizing 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. At this hour it is impossible to secure details, though enough is the scene that followed the hurling of the struggling mass 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 ditched 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 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. Relief parties started the scene as soon as the fearful news spread, many male relatives ot the men injured insisting- on accompanying 1 the tram, 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 has been found burned to a crisp and the entire party 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 fire communication is interrupted, and it'is impossible the names of the men burned or those still missing.

As to the damage, is' known, fee't'of hemlock lo'gs and timber and.25,000 ''coroVof. valuable bark have already, been destroyed, and the fires are raging without any appreciable diminution. PITTSBTJKGH, May has been received here through Erie railway ti-ainmen of the destructive work done by 'a peculiar forest! fire near Randolph, CattaraugTis county, on the western division of Erie. The fire started in a large tract of old bark, where the dead hemlock, felled and standing; afforded material on which its'fed and spread-with fearful rapidity. Millions of feet of lumber and thousands of cords of bark were de- stroyecl a short time.

The Alleghany Lumber Company alone lost 20,000,000 feet of lumber and between 15,000 and 20.00U curds of bark. Tins will be a money loas of. between and with no insurance. Smallei concerns in the burned district lost in proportion, the total loss being estimated at over .15300,000 within ai area of a lew miles. MKCHANICSBURG, May astrous forest fires have swept througt the mountain lands of this county sinct last Monday, and are still raging.

Fullj 10,000 icrcs of valuable timber lands have been burned over. Near Dillsburg, a small hamlet about 0 miles fron; this city, the valuable mining property of Alexander Underwood, consisting- an ore crusher, engine house, blacksmith shop and five dwelling houses, were burned, rendering fourteen pep sons homeless. The losses by these fires have already exceeded IN JflCHIGAN. DETKOTT, May hoped for security from Sunday night's rain did not materialize for the panic-stricken 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 fire is as large as the whole state of Rhode Island.

The Toledo, Ann Arbor Northern Michigan railroad 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 badly burned that the rails spread when the train went over. When near More's siding one of the cars in the center of the train was derailed, and the train crew were obliged to abandon the rear part of the train after working until the cars began to smoke. Before they reached Farwell there was another derailment, and all but three of the train of eighteen cars were left to their fate.

Three of the train men had badly blistered faces. The wind shifted late Sunday night and drove the battle line of fire to the southwest and into Newayg-o Mecosta and Oceana Cook's station and Barton, both in the line of the fire, have not been heard from and are supposed to be destroyed. The sparks struck a barn in Lilly early Monday morning and shortly after set fire to three other building's. The 200 people did all in their power to stop the flames but were unable to save anything. Every building is now in ashes.

Everything in Park City, another pine woods town, has gone, the people losing- everything. The railroad fences and track from Park City to Otia or Duigrian station is said to be gone, and Otia, a village of '300 inhabitants, is known to be wiped out. West Troy, a few miles north of Otia, has been environed by fire since early Monday morning and is supposed to be in. ashes. Reports from Cadillac, Wexford county, state that the inhabitants of all the villages in the county have been out fighting fire for the past three days and many of the smaller places are wiped off the face of thu earth.

Where Nivarna and Fremont, on the Flint Pere Marquette road once stood there is nothing now but piles of ashes! The village of Lake has-not been heard from since-its last appeal for help Sunday. Seas of fire are sweeping- through woods near Red Cloud, Newaygo county, while more than 100 miles away across the state the little hamlet of Taft is in a grilf of flame. Monton, in Wexford county, above is cut off from-com muni cation -with the outside world. The latest news from Traverse. City is to the, that the entire, population is out fighting fire.

Millions upon millions of logs are burning all over the center of the state, and at last reports Osterhout Fox's lumber yard was on fire. LOSS OF LIFE IN MICHIGAN. LlJDiNGTOJf, May of people who lived in Walkerville, before the fire struck that town, arrived here Monday in a deplorablecondition. They had nothing to call their own but the clothes they had on and are exhausted with hard work in trying to save their village. They say that it is impossible to tell how many of the inhabitants escaped alive, but they fear that.many died in the woods where they fled for safety.

The village had 800 inhabitants, and no one knows more than half this number is at present. The loss at this point will reach 520,000. Vague rumors of a large loss of life in other points come in, bnt verification is impossible. This entire county will be swept unless rain comes soon. AT DENVER.

Reception of the President and Hlg Party at the Colorado Metropolis. DENVER, May immense crowd gathered at the Union depot to welcome the president and party, who arrived here at 9:15 a. m. At the sight of the train the crowd cheered themselves hoarse. Senators Teller and Wolcott were the first to approach the president's carriage, and bid them welcome to the city.

Then came the governor of the state to 'bid them welcome. The appearance of the president was the occasion for another outburst of cheers. The'p'arty were escorted between two lines- -of military, to their carriages. 'The' 1 procession was formed and the -march'throug-h the principal streets of the city was begun. niod at the Age of 107.

A. BLOODY CONFLICT, DESVBB, May desperate fig-ht took place in City Park at 10 o'clock Monday betwoen F. N. Davis and Ed Davis (white), and John White, Tom Davis, E. Farris, J.

W. Smith and James Blackburn (colored) on one side, and some fifty or more strikers on the other. Two men were fatally shot and about twelve more more or less seriously. The fight, which was at close range, was brought about by the brick- makers' strike which has been in progress at the Davis yards for several weeks past. Monday morning- F.

N. Davis Son, the proprietors of the brick yards, with eight negroes with double-barreled shotguns, heavily loaded with buckshot, started for the yards with the avowed intention of beginning work or dying in the attempt. As they were nearing the a party of strikers, headed by Frank Surber, appeared and asked that they be allowed to talk to the men who going to work. Davis that the men did not want to talk and ordered the strikers to allow his men to pass. This the strikers would not do and Davis and his son and five men opened fire.on the strikers, killed Thomas Kelly, who was shot in the small of the back and died two hours later.

The'men most seriously injured are: John Ridenour, shot in the back and mortally wounded; Frank in right arm, necessitating. amputation, may die; Burt Brown, shot in right arm; Paal, shot in left shoulder; Jack Garrett, shot in side; W. J. Shaunte, shot in the forehead and in shoulder; Sam Farrar, shot in legs; Pete Nolan, shot in leg; B. O'Brien and William.

Dickson, both shot in head and side. A number of others are to have been hit, fled from the scene before then- names or the extent of their injuries were learned. Immediately after the firing began the strikers ran, except those who were too badly hurt to get and Davis, with his men proceeded to the yard, where they surrendered to an officer and were, locked up. Immediately after the shooting a reporter arrived on the scene of the trouble and found a large crowd of men there, by the shooting. A number of the strikers who had at first fled from the scene had returned, bnt some were away having theltr wounds attended -Thomas' Kelly was lying on the ground breathing heavily and evidently Beside him was his sister, a girl about 14 years of age, almost crazed with grief and moaning most piteonsly.

Before' he was too far gone to speak Kelly stated that F. N. Davis was the man who shot him. He then fell Tjack fainting- and said nothing concerning the affair. Kelly was not a striker and only went to the place out of mere curiosity.

John Eidenour, who was also. mortally wounded, was taken to the Sisters' hospital, where he now lies in a dying condition. Will Be Represented'at Chicago.
