VILLAGES ENTIRELY OBLITERATED Oil Wells, Derr c's and Pipe Lines Ruined. PEOPLE FLEEING FOR SAFETY BRADFORD, Pa., June 4.—Elk county has experienced a number of destructive forest fires, but those of Sunday and yes- terday surpass them all. The fire at Rus- sell city last. night was one that drove terror to the hearts of the five hundred people who inhabit the place. At 10 o'clock a brisk west wind snvang up and fanned the burning underbrush, and the hemlock timber into one solid mass of fire, cover- ing a stretch of three miles in width. The People, who were about exhausted from fighting the flames for the past three days, were forced to flee for their lives. The flames spread so rapidly that the people had to leave everything and run to the clearing two miles distant to Highland Corners. Women with children in their arms, shrieking and bemoaning their fate, ran and stumbled as they escaped from the fire. Many women fell exhausted and were trampled on, but finally reached Highland in «safety. Nothing is left of the once hustling jittle place. The fire is still burning fiercely among the oil wells. The Northern Oil Company have twenty oil wells and a number of tanks burning at this place now, and there is no abatement of the fury of the flames. It is impossible to cstimate the loss. The woods leadinz to Clark's mills are one mass of flames on both sides of the road, and how the people who live along the road could have escaped is beyond comprehension. ‘There is no communication of any description with this place and no news is obtainable from there, but there is no doubt of everything having been burned in the path of the fire, as there was no pro- tection of any kind. Every available man is out fighting fire and there are not half enough. ‘There is fire in every direction, and all efforts to check its progress seem futile. Destruction of Coon Run. Coon Run, three miles from Russell .City, which was wiped out yesterday afternoon, was entirely obliterated from the face of the earth, and nothing remains to show that there ever was sucha place as Coon Run. The place consisted of twenty-seven buildings, 2 pump station, school house and saw mill. A. B. Fowler, superintendent of the Ncrthern Oil Company, says, while he and his men were at work “back-firing” a stiff breeze from the west came up as like magic, and in less time than It takes to tell it the fire was upon them. They ran to the town and aroused the people to flee for their lives. Mea, women and children made a wild race for the railroad track, a distance of five miles, while the flames played havoc with all their belongings. The Northern Oil Company lost forty cil wells at this place and a large number of new rigs that had been built for new wells. About twenty-five tanks of oil were consumed and lent energy to the flames. The Elk Oil Company is also a heavy loser. The pipe lines lost both their pump sta- tions with a quantity of crude oil. The loss will be very great. No estimates can be made until the fires abate. The fire at West Kane, which threatened the destruction of that place is now under contrel. The damage done was the burn- ing of nine ofl well rigs, owned by the Griffith estate, one engine house and one dwelling house. The fire reported at Knapp's creek fs still raging, and as done a large amount of damage. The fire has spread to Bell's camp and thirty-five oil wells are now on fire. Entire Valley on Fire. Reports from Duke Center state that the entire valley is on fire, and the loss to oil and lumber men will be enormous. Kansas Branch, Rifford, Davis City, Sum- mit City, Dallas City, Oil Valley,’ Lime- stone, Stafe Line, Derrick City and Red Rock are all in it, and unless rain falls soon there is no telling what the result will be. The sky is black with smoke, and the mountains are invisible on all sides, and the heat is intense. Not an idle man can be found, and calls for men come from every direction. Men are still fighting the fire at Degolia and apparently have it un- der control. Nothing has been learned from West Branch, where a brisk fire is burning. Everything at Sugar Run, including saw mills and dwellings, were burned, and noth- ing remains of the place. The fire at Brookston is still burning fiercely, and there is no prospect of check- ing the spread of the flames. It is impos- sitle to get men, and, consequently, the fire makes rapid headway. Fire at Ormsby. The fire at Ormsby is raging more fierce- ly than ever. Tre place is without water protection of any kind, and the flames are devouring a large area of standing timber. Saw mills and a number of houses have been consumed. Two car loads ‘of empty barrels were shipped to Ormsby from here this morning to be used to convey water to the oil field, which is ncw threatened. A stiff hreeze is blowing and there is no telling what the outcome will be. One hundred and fifty men l«ft Olean, N. ¥., yesterday afternoon to fight the forest fires In the Four Mile and Knapp’s Creek districts, between there and Bradford, and owners are paying $1 an nour for men to fight the fires. Charles Hatch lost twelve rigs at State Line. Mayor Franchot of Olean has lost a large number, and over a hundred rigs have already been burned in the district. A message from Knapp’s Creek says fifty rigs belonging to Curtis, Burns and Russell are destroyed. A line of fire surrounds the town and the inhabitants fear total de- struction. Everything between Russell City and Coon Run has been burned, including the rigs, tanks and pumping stations of the Standard Oil and Eik County Pipe Line companies. Barnsdall & Company had at least seventy-five rigs between Coon Run and Russell, which are lost. —— About a Note. Answering the bill of complaint filed several days ago against him by Glen W. Cooper, in which the defendant was charg- ed with wrongfully withholding a promis- sory note for $300, Byron G. Daniels states that Mr. Cooper applied to him for a loan and he endeavored to get the note dis- counted. He was unsuccessful, and sub- sequently asked Mr. Cooper to loan him the note, promising to give him an interest in a certain land scheme. Mr. Cooper con- sented, says Mr. Daniel, and he states that he disposed of the note to H. C. Cummings about the 20th of last month. —— Military and Naval Salutes. To the Editor of The Evening Star: The communication of Mr. Mason E. |. Mitchell of the Naval Academy concerning consistency in military and naval salutes suggests to me that the rule in Germany, consistently observed, would regulate and simplify the whole matter. There soldiers and men of the nayy, officers and men alike, when in uniform, never raise their caps, but make the miiitary salute by rais- ing the right hand to their temples. They may keep it there a little longer when saluting superior officers and ladies, but under ne conditions raise the head cover- ing when in uniform. When in civile, out of uniform, they conform to the customs of civilians and raise their hats to whom- ever they salute, friend and acquaintance, lady or gentleman. E. F. ANDREWS.

For Virginia, showers; cooler; southerly winds. ‘Ihe warm wave which has covered the country generally east of the Rocky moun- tains during the last few days, breaking temperaturé records for the season, both as regards maximum temperatures and duration of the period of extreme heat, has finally run its course, and is being rapidly broken up by the development of showers and thunder storms. The crest of the warm wave covered the middle and south Atlantic states and the Ohio valley yes- terday, attended by the highest tempera- tures oh record for the early part of June at Charlotte, Raleigh, Louisville, Indian- apolis, Columbus, Grand Haven, Chicago, Springfield, Mo., and Hannibal, and carry- ing the maximum temperature to 100 de- grees at Charlotte, Raleigh, Wilmington, Louisville, Indianapolis and Columbus. At Baltimore, Washington, Lynchburg, Nor- folk, Augusta and Parkersburg the tem- perature reached 98 degrees, and %6 de- grees was recorded at Harrisburg, Phila- delphia, Auantic City, Savannah, Memphis, Nashville, Knoxville, Cincinnati, Detroit, Chicago, Springfield, Cairo and St. Louis. As indicated Monday morning, the storm in the northwest has advanced to Lake Supericr, attended by rain in the north central districts and by a marked-fall in temperature in the upper Mississippi and lower Missouri valleys. The céoler weather in the middle Atlantic states this morn- ing is due to the formation of an area of high barometer on the New Engiand coast, which caused an inflow over this section early this morning of moist, cooler, easter- ly winds from the ocean: The winds will probably continue east- erly over the middle Atlantic states dur- ing today and tonight, producing condi- tions favorable for thunder storms. In this immediate vicinity the tempera- ture today will range 10 to 15 degrees lower than the readings of yesterday, and tonight and Wednesday will be pleasantly cool, with the chances for thunder storms.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR UNION Important Meeting of the Executive Com- mittea Last Night Preparing for the Boston: Convention and for the One ‘Here An important and interesting meeting of the executive committee of''the Christian Endeavor Union of the ‘Disttict of Colum- bia was held last evening in the lecture rocm of St. Paul’s English Lutheran Church, presided over by thd’newly elected president, Miles M. Shand, ‘with John B. Sleman, jr., secretary. “Reports from va- rious subcommittees were refcived and dis- cussed, and the program, of the annual meeting was announced. This meeting will be held in the New York Avenue Presbyte- rian Church the evening of Friday, June 21, when the results of the election of offi- cers for the year beginning next fall will be made public. It is expected that Re} Dr. Wallace Radcliffe, pastor of the church, will make an address to the meeting. Mr. William W. Everett of the nomination committee reported the list of nominations for the new officers (heretofore published in The Star), and sald that ballots were being distributed to the different societies. A report that attracted a great deal of at- tention and aroused considerable enthu- slasm was that submitted from the mis- sionary committee by Mr. Marion McH. Hull, chairman. He said that at a meeting of his committee, held in May, two young persons had volunteered their services as missionaries for foreign work. The report further stated that the sotlety of the New York Avenue Church had organized a work among the cabmen and night-liners of the city, and suggested that other socicties join in the work. The plan is for each so- ciety to. look up the cabmen in its neigh- borhood, give them tracts and other good literature, following this with a personal letter, and eventually speak with them as to their soul's welfare. It was the hope of the committee that a society for cabmen should soon be formed. The lookout committee reported, through Mr. M M. Shand, that the intervisitation plan has been in operation for some time and the results were entirély satisfactory. By this plar delegates from one society are appointed to attend a meeting of an- other society and learn what methods are employed for adding to the interest and exmestness "of the meetings. Mr. John D. Morgan, from the committee on the-press, and Miss Lucy Jurney of the correspondence committee, read the reports of their respective committees. Miss Ade- lia Randolph was elected junior editor of the District Christian Endeavorer. The music and good citizenship committees also reported. The Boston Trip. Mr. Perey S. Foster of the transportation committee made an emphatic statement, showing that it was absolutely necessary that the committee should be informed at once of all who intend to go to Boston in Jvly for the annual convention. Unless ar- rangements were made prior to the 15th instant, said Mr. Foster, the committee cculd not promise to secure accommoda- tions at the hotel for applicants. He said that although the District delegation was expected to number nearly 300, applications had been received from only 150 persons. The Copley Square Hotel had been secured for the Endeavorers frem this city, and everything was being done for the pleasure and comfort of visitors from the nation’s capital. Certain privileges were to be al- lowed them in the matter of' floating ban- ners across the street. t Mr. W. H. H. Smith, from the committee of '98, made an encouraging statement regarding the raising of the, $10,000 fund, showing that nearly ;000° had already been subscribed and there was promise of $300 more. He was confident that the de- sired sum would be subscribed before the delegation went to Bostgn. Mr. Smith also reported that a special’ badge, consisting of a celluloid button, of which is printed the national colors and the fmotto, ‘‘Wash- ington, '96, D. C. C. E. Wj.,” shad been pre- pared and each’ delegate to Boston would be furnished with one. A oth in Me- chanics’ Hall, where tip cdhvention will be held, had been secured, which he believ- ed should be properly decorated. A com- mittee, consisting of M. M. Shand, John B. Sleman, jr., W. H. H. Smith, John D. Morgan, Percy S, Foster and Norman T. Elliott, was pointed to take charge of this matter, ter which the meeting ad- journed. S ——— Deny the Charge. In the case of Mary A. Anderson against the Granite State Provident Association ard others, John J. Wilmorth, John J, Byrne and the defendant association have filed their answers denying all charges of wrongdoing, and stating that the com- plainant was loared money on her prop- erty, the Anderson Hotel, only in a legiti- mate way by the defendants, O. A. Jones and the Granite State Provident Aseocia- ticn, and that the manner and conditions of repayment was fully explained to and understood by Mrs. Anderson, the loans being made’ at her request. . SAFETY FENDER CASES Cailed in Police Court, But Go Over for One Week, The Roads Represented by Counsel— -The Law on the Question and What Will Be Claimed. Yesterday afternoon, after the warrants were issued against the three street car companies, charging violations of the reg- ulations of the Commisstoners requiring Street car fenders and wheel guards, the several companies were notified, and this morning the cases were called in Juige Kimball's court. “We are not ready for trial,” was the first thing counsel for one of the companies had to say. Under the rules of the court the defense was entitled to a continuance, and the judge said that counsel had better agr2e upon a day. ~“One .week- from next Wednesday will suit us,” said Col. Enoch Totten, who rep- resented the Washington and Georgetown railroad. “Do you mean one week from tomorrow?” Mr. Pugh asked. Yes.” “If I thought you would go cn trial then I would have no objection.” “We'll be ready. We want time to get witnesses, “There are two cases against your com- pany, colonel,” said Mr. Pugh. “That makes no difference, Totten. ‘There may as well be si “I guess there will be by next Wednes- day.” Lawyer Nathaniel Wilson, representing the Columbia, said he desired his case to go over until the same time. He also repre sented the Metfopolitan Company, against which corporation there was a charge of running a number of unlicensed cars, and this case also went over. “Is there any question about the security in these cases?” asked Judge Kimball.- “I'l leave Mr. Dunlop as security,” jok- ingly remarked Col. Totten. President George T. Dunlop of the Wash- ington and Georgetown road, President R. F. Barker of the Columbia road and H. Purdy, secretary-treasurer of the George- town and Tenleytown road gave their per- sonal bonds. Just what course will be pursued when the cases come t6 trial next week is not known, but it is thought that counsel for the roads will first attack the law. Under the wording of the law, Prosecuting At- torney Pugh, es stated in yesterday's Star, found it necessary to proceed against the companies and not against the officers of the compantes. The informations, as stated yesterday, name the companies and set out: “Being then and there a railway com- pany, ard as such railway company, did then and there operate cars, said cars not being fully equipped with wheel guards and fenders, as authorized and adopted by the Commissioners of the District of Co- lumbia.”” The law requires fenders and _ wheel guards, aid the penalty clause reads: “Any railwey compsny failing to comply with the above requirement shall be sub- ject to a fine of $5 a day for each‘car not So constructed cr altered and operated by it upon and after the date atove speci- fied.” It is sala by some attorneys that the wording of the law holds the company fia- ble in each case, and there may be some doubt as to whether or not the penalty clause can be enforced, for a failure to pay the fine, it is thought, cculd not have the effect of causing.an official of the road to suffer imprisonment. There was no one in court when the cases wer> called to represent the Bright- weod Railway Company, against which there is also a charge. said Col. Castoria For Infants and Children.
