A THE BURNING OF OSCEOLA. Inwateh to New York T'imes, Oscsora, Pa.,” May 20.—One of tho most des- tructivo forest fires tbat has ever occurred in this section .of the country is nmow ragingall around the .top of the mountawn nesr the sum- mit of which the Town of Osceals stood st 10 o'clock this morning. For the past two waeks fires kindled by sparks from tle locomo- tives were barning the woods along the side of the mountain, but they were not of & threaten- ing nature, and did not cause any apprebension in the minds’ of the people. This morning, however, a brisk wind &prang up from northwest, which, by 10 o’clock in the forencor. bad increased to a terrible gale. The Town of Osceola, . containing 1,500 inhabitants, is situated on the brow of a bhill,” which is itselt surrounded by a number of lesser hills, &l thickly wooded. = Early in the forenoon the chutes of the Philadelphia Mine, nearly op- p: site the town, took fire, and almost simul- taneously the flames began to creep out of the woods all around the town. Even then no dan- ger was anticipated, and it was not - until the tlames had actuslly caught some of the houses on e ontskiris that the poople bogan to realize their position. At nooa the guests of the Lipton House,— & among them your correspondent,—not knowiog of the danger to the town, were joking sbout the possibility of the fire reaching the kitchen before the conclusion of dinner. An bour after- ward the Lipton House was in ashes, and the guens, with a number of "others, were fightiog he flames around the office in which this dis- gflld.lin beiog wiitten. Iusiae, the place was lled with ternfied women. aud outside the men were carcying pails of water through the blind- 1ng smoke to dampen the wooden structure and prevent the sparks from igoiting it. After the flames kad caught the upper end of tho town, they swept down the sido of the ‘mountain with terriblo rapidity. The fire burn- ing 1 the woods all around seot up clouds of smoke, which completelv enveloped the ‘town. For a time opress seemed impossible, but the violence .of the wind occasionally lified tho smoke, and epabled the affrighted populitioa to make their way toward the depot. Here there was a terrible suspense of nearly an hour. No train was in the depot and the flames wore rapidly approaching the frame dwelling used by the railroad company. On every sids the fire barred escape. Foriunately the telegraph lines were working, and assstaoce was nsked from the fire departments of Tyrone and Altoona. When the ho; ol es- cape waa least, Mr. Daniel Wood, the train master on the Moshannon & Clearfield branches of the road, ran a train of about twenty box-cars into the depot. and at once commenced to load them with women and children. It seemed al- most impossible tnat the train wonld pass with safety through the burning woods, but a saccess- ful trip was made, and the human freight taken to Phillipsburg. a larze town sitdated on a large tiact of ‘cleared land, some miles above this place. . After the fire commencing at the tep of the mountain had swept down until it joined the flames reaching out from the woods on the side opposite to that where it commenced, & bope was still ootertained that a large saw- mitl owned by the Moshannon Land and Lumber Company, sitmated on the Xo- shaunon, - jost at the edge of tho woods at the westera end of the town, might bo saved, and with it that portion of the town im- mediately sdjoining the mill. Ths mill con- tained 14,000,000 feet of cut lumber. Mr. La- coste, the Superintendent, with a pumber of his mep, tried to fight the flames with buckets of water, but the uoequal contest ended atter two hours’ bard work. ° Hardly had the flames found their way into the lumber-pile when a terrible explosion was heard, and a housp some distanco away was blown ioto ‘atoms. It bad been a hardware- stors, and in the stock were two barrels of blaeting-powder. The explosion sent the burning 1ri r?':mants of the house in different directions, and besides igniting a portion of the town at that time untouched Ly the flames, set fire to the woods o foog distance back of the place where tho firo first appeared. Besides tho saw-mill just spoken of, there were_thres other saw-mills in the immediate vicinity burned to the groutd. The 1188 on cut lomber alone which was ready to ba shipped will bo over $1500,000. Police Capt. Clarke and Sheriff McPnerson were both in the town when the firs broke out, and— " [At thus point in our dispatch the Western TUrion 'l‘e!egnPh operstor says he ** lost Osceols, at 11:40 p. m.,” several teleirnph poles - having been bu:ned with no hope of reopaning commu- nication.—Ep.

Des Morxzs, In., May 31.—8ince tha fatal bul- let silenced ths overawing power of O'Conuner, the outrager of his own daughter, lips which were closed from fear of-his terrible presence have opeced and disclosed a fiend of most hor- rible atrocity. For several years he has been cruel to his {family, and torfured them in 1many ways. Over = year ago, he began a systematic plot to debanch hia eldest daughtsr, Annie, & hand- some, intelligent, and prepossessing young.lady, by reciting to her most vulgar songs and ob- econe tales. Scon after, he went to Red Oak on businesss, taking her with him. On the re- turn, he drove out of the way to a secluded * -place im the timber, whers be attempted to outrage her, but failed, which 80 incensed him that he beat the girl's head on tha wagon-box with such force that she beasms unconscious. What occurred for a time she does not know. When consciousness retarned, he held = kmife at her throst, and threatemed to cut her throat if she revealed what he had dons, and also to kill all to whom she told it, Bhe.kept the secrst until after her father was dead. Subsequently he renewed his assaults upon ber, anc iling by force, he ‘re- sorted to persnasion. He bought her everything he thought would please her fancy, including a fine piano, farnished her musio-teachers and fine’ dresses, gent her to_tbis city to attend & musical institute and Isdies’ seminary, and, whenever he went away from home, he took Annie with him.

She did ot dare to tell of it, for fear of death. His wife also was the subject of his _ flendishness, and 2o ome knows the depths of her misery, which has beea con- cealed from the publio through the terror her Lusband held over her. The night the daughters went to their uncle’s atter ho had attempted to outrage the yonngest daughter, was a pight of terrible suspense. Ttey knew the nature of the man. - He was & terror to sll his relatives, aud they watohea their premises all night, fearing he would seek to murder his girls, or some of the family, or burn the honse. Other neighbors stood gusrd around 0'Conner’s house all night. to prevent his leay- ing the premises. Hia ‘oldest son hss been in the babit of sacretly guarding the doorway to his sifters' bed-room for some time, knowin, that his father had some terribls intent towar: them, but what he did not know. 0'Conner’s wife loft him s few days sgo, os- tensibly to spend the summer in Counecticut, but really not to return. .The morning she left, bo ssanited her snd drew & revoiver on wum: -8 15 now suspectad by some that ahe ‘| from the Cumberland Presbyte: never reached the depot, and that he murdered her on the way from the {arm to Atlantic.

C., May 22.—United Btates Marshal B, B. Campbell, of the Northern Dis- trict of Illinois, has been here for two days. He 18 quite satisfied with the removal of Manx, and evidently worships the rising star. He thinks that the whisky frauds in that district conld not bave occurred without the knowledge of some- body. Daniel L. Phillips, of Springfield, is also here on his way to Pailadelphia, in conuection with some Centennial matters. He has taken adyant- sgoe of the opportanity to make some closa ob- servations of the political situation. He is not apprebensive that thers will be any political troable iu Illinos on account of the recent rev- enue developments. NEW DEVELOPMENTS. The Internal Revenue Bureau continues to re- ceive additional details of the whisky ring oper- ations.. A footing which wasmade to-dayshows, that 168,000 gallons of illicit whisky have already been traced to8t. Louis. This computstion em- braces the transcript of the books st New York, Chbarleston, Savannah and Wilmington. The officors believe that when the transcripts from the otber leading cities are examined, & still larger amount will be discovered. < AYPOLNTMENTS. Frederick Mysr was to-day appointed .Super- visor of Internal Revenue, to succeed McDonald, at Bt. Lonis, jand the commission of Asa C. AMatehews,to sicceed Daniel Munn as Superuisor for Il‘linou, Michigan, and Wisconsin, was also izsue E COMMISSIONER PRATT. 5 The Oommissioner of Internal Revenus is rapidly becoming fa with the duties of his new office. - A considerable portion of his {ime is occupied in the examination of Jetters from politicians who petition for the retention of their friends in that burean. It does not now seem probable that Pratt will make any considerable removals except for cause. AN INCIDENT OF MATT .CARPENTER'S POLITICAL LIFE- “The following ourious passage rolative to Matt Carpenter is published here: The new Commis- sioner of Internal Revenue found such a bad cago against Rovenua-Agent Conilin, at Milwau- Kee, tbat ho has dismissed bim by telegraph. ‘I'hg pradecessor of this Mr. Conklio—s man by the name of Burpree—had always been regarded asone of the best agents of the service, but he attended to his dwies and would not belp to ran the political machine. Before the “election Iast fall, the Chairman of the Republican Committee of Wieconsin applied here to have Bucprea removed. Senator Carpen- ter, who was then fighting _for re-election, also made a dead set against Burpree, who, it was #aid, was obnoxions td the brewers, - ‘The efforts were fioally enccessful. Burpree, the hooest officer, was removed, and Conklin was put in his place to conciliate the brewers, which it seems he did with & vengeance. Burpree st las even by telegraphing here yesterdsy, ow sbont the Datch?” . Now, Senatar Crpenter asbort tims back called in his valet, and, point- ing to an immeuse pile of letters and papers, sald : Robert, I want you to go over those carefully, sud destroy everything that can by any possibility remind me that I ever waa in poli- tica,” No doub: among that pile were some. of the letters beaning on the question of concili- ating the Dutch. ~The Brrpree-Conklin uflgde furnishes a key to much of thé whisky busfiess. ¢ (10 the Associated Press.) * + : BEVENUE APPOINTMENTS. ‘Wasarxarox, May 22.—The following appoint- ments of Interoal Reveoue Gaugers have been made in the First District of Illinois : James M.

Adolph Muaeller and John W. Hood, Gangers in the Firas Iitinois District, have been dismissed. IN CHICAGO. The Goveroment officials who are investigat- ing revenue frauds were inactive yestarday; st least they arrerted no more delinquent Gaugers, Btorekeepers, or whisky dealers. It wasn nder- stood, however, that they were *‘accumulating |- evidence,” and hence it 18 not improbable that the war will be renewed Monday morning, and a number of prisonera brought in. THE RAILROADS. THE ERIE'S FINANCIAL EMBARRASSMENTS. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tridune, New Yoz, May 22—At & meeting of the Erie stockholders to-day Mr. Brownell, Vice-Presi- dent of the Stock Exchange in the chair, the fol- lowing resolutions were adopted : Resols That, in our ju ent, ff the Qom; camen sodid paylog the liaress on bonds sty scte 1in Europe, and cannot earn the money to pay that in- toreat, sound policy would roquir that the money for the gurpole ould be by assessment on tne ot Resolved, That we.recommend the Directors of tha Erle Kailwny Company to open books of subscription t their office, and to invite stockholders to voluntarily contribute a sum of dollars a share {0 provent the Company going to protest. The lagt resolution is supposed to be meant ironically. The preamble accompanying the resolution, and also adopted, recites: It sppears from the report of Premdent Jewett that the natearn- ings of the Company fall short of its require- ments by nealy $38,000.000 a year, that the funded dobt has increased at the rate of st lenst $5,000,000 & year for the last four years, with- out any corresponding increase in equip- ment ~or other property of the Com- pany; and that for the last moneys borrowed in Euro) the Company issued ita 7 per cent gold bonds at the rate of about 40 cents on the dollar; and in order o raise money.to pay the Juoe interest on theso bonds, the Company is about to hypothecats its only rewaining ssget, its coal-laods, on jerms which will inevitably invoive shoir sacrifice af far leae than their valoe; and, finslly, that az adherence to this financial policy must inevita- bly lead to bankraptcy. {[he 1mmediate effect of tha passage and-pnb-. lication of She resolutions was to depresa the stock 2 per cent. It is now aslow as ever it was under Fisk & Gounld. 1t is rumored that & movement is on foot for & geoeral swrike of the Eife Railroad employes. Inguiry at the Company's depot in this city failed to confirm the rumor, but revealed the mn the omyployes have not boen paid sinco A FIGHT FOR POSSESSION. Special Dupateh to The Chicaga Tripune. Prorn, I, May 22.—Quits a fight is going on here betwsen the Indianapolis, Bloomiogton & Western sod Peoris & Springfield Bailroads over the possession of the latter’s track. In- junctions bave been flying around alldsy, and there is much excitement among railroad men. It seems that the Indisnapolis, Bloomington & Western have been taing the Peoris & Spring- fleld track without paying anything for it, and on the Iatter leamuog their frack to the Toledo, Wabash & Weatern, the former refused to vacate. TheIndianapolis, Bloomington & Western agent here, acting under instructions from Goorge B. Wright, refused to obsy an injunction issuad by Judge Burns, of Lacon, enjoining the Indianapolis, Bloomington & interfering with the Peoris -% Springfield, and was arrested by Sheriff Hitchcock for con- tempt of court. He gave bail, but commenced hostilities sgain immediately by runuing out an Indianapolis, Bloomington & Western engine, The Peorin & Springfield men, however, threw the engine from the track, and this stopped proceedings for a time. More tronble is spprehended to-night, and a derachment of the city police have bean sent {o the scens to prevent any riotous action. THE UNION PACIFIC TERMINUS. 1 Omami, Neb., May 22.—There is no truth whatever in the report telegraphed from Coun- cil Bluffs that the Union Pacific Railroad Com- pany will abide by the decision of the Circuit Court in the mandamusto compel the Company to operata the bridge sa a part of its road, and the whole a3 a continnous line to Council Bluffs. The case will be appealed, as previously stated, and ip the meantime Union Pacific trains are made up on this side of ths river. — MILWAUKEE & ST, PAUL.

Brrurs, May 22.—The action of the Balgian Tribooal st Liege in dismissing the charges sgainst Duchesne of plotting to assassinate Bis- marck causes s fensation here. It is generally believed that the finding of the Tribunal will sot -| be regarded by Germany as a settisment of the matter.

Loxnoox, May 22.—Thers is no foundation for the report thas the Belgian Cabinet is in = difficult position, and that a crisis is imminent. Denial is also given to the report thas the German Goveroment had instructed its Am- bassador at Brussels to ask Belgium Yo prohibit religious processions, the object being an over- throw of the Belgian Cabinet. RBoux, May 22.—Count Corti, Italian Minister at Washington, has been transferred to Con- stantinople. R CASUALTIES. MINE FATALITIES. Svectal Dispatch to The Chicaar Tridtme, ‘Woxesrarge, Po., May 22—A borrible scai- dent ocourred to-dsy at the Stanton shett, of the Lebigh & Wilkesbarre Coal Company, which bas thrown the ocountry into a state of pro- found gloom and heartfelt sorrow. The shaft, which had just been completed, is 1,000 feet desp, and was being pianked when the disaster occurred. The men wereat work on the carriags about 100 feet from the bottom, ‘when they signalled the engineer to hoist them to the surface. The cngine was reveraed an in- stant for a start, when the c-m‘nfie escaped from the safaty brakes and plunged wildly downward, the engine not having sufficient steam to check the desceut, and hurling the unfortunate men_ 100 fest down into the darkmesa. The heavy hoisting cable snapped asunderin ths engine-room, snd was drawn down the shaft with lightniog rapidity, the immense weight of mearly 1,000 feat of wire rops causing tho. death of the men. Richard Gneum?h, the con- tractor of the works, was found dead, tho wire rope having run through and disemboweled him. Ho leaves a wifs and two children in_En- land, and was to visit them next month. Ben- inmin Cartis, the carpenter, was alsd killed, aving had the top of his head cutoff, and Stephdn Matthews had his back broken and cannot recover.
