Denver I* o
Bradford, Pa.. June 3.—The woods
about Ormsby are on fire and a num-
ber of oil rigs have been destroyed. All
communication has been cut off.
Fires are also reported along the
Now York. Lake Erie and Western
railroad as far as Allegeny, N. Y.
On the Buffalo, Rochester and Pitts-
burg road at Dent, the property of the
Emery OH company is threatened. Oil
rigs all through that section have been
burned as well as millions of feet of
standing timber. The most fear is felt
at Routherford Hun, where 1,000
pounds of nitro-glycerlne Is stored.
Coon Run, a small settlement ten
miles south of here, has been wiped
out by the flames. People had to flee
for their lives. The flre came so sud-
denly that many women and children
were panic stricken and became unable
to move and had to be carried to places
of safety. Passengers who arrived
here tonight over the Pittsburg and
Western road says the woods for ten
miles in the oil Held Is a roaring mass
of flames. Conductor Tanks says the
people on the oil leases are fleeing for
safety, but the flre spread so quickly
that he cannot see how all of them
oould have been saved. So far as re-
ported only seven oil pumpers are
missing.
Telephone messages state that the
flre is raging in the oil fields near here
and great damage has been done. At
the Btato line, on the Western New
York and Pennsylvania railroad, sev-
eral dwellings and a Irge amount of
' lumber have been burned. A lumber
I camp of seven dwellings at Oil Valley
; Junction was destroyed together with
thousands of dolUirs worth of lumber.
The flre may be now said to extend
ever the entire northern oil field of
Pennsylvania. It is Impossible as y i
to give any computation of the damage
or the number of deaths, on account of
the great scope of country which the
flre covers.

I need not remind you. comrades oj
the A. K. IT., that our order In the pur
pult of the right was confronted
by a storm of opposition such as nevei
beat upon a labor organization In nl
time. The buttle fought In the Inter
est of starving men. women and child-
ren, stands forth in the history of la-
bor's struggle as the great 'I'ullmar
strike.' It was a battle on the part >>
the American Hallway Union, fought
for a eause as holy as ever aroused th«
courage of brave men.
"What have been your rewards foi
your splendid courage and manifolc'
sacrifices? Our enemies say they art
summed up in one word, 'Defeat.' Thejf
point to the battlefield and say, 'Heri
Is where the host of the Americ an Hail-
wav Union went down before confeder-
ated enemies of labor.'
"Brothers of the American Hallwaj
union, even in defeat our rewards art
grand beyond expression. True it If
lhat the 'sons of brutish force nnd
darkness,who have drenched the earth
with blood,' cliuekle over their victories
They point to the blacklisted heroes of
the American Hallway union. Idle nnd
poor, and count upon their surrender.
Their hope Is that our order will dis-
band; that persecution, poverty and
prison will do the work.
"In this supreme Juncture I call upor.
the members of the American Railway
union to stand by their order. In (lod't
own good time we will make the des-
pot's prison, where Innocent men euf

gration was In the course of Tallyho.
A large house owned and occupied by
Fidney Hathay, together with consider-
able "f the contents, was consumed.
Elisha Kane lost several thousand
feet of logs.
A Buffalo firm* Is also said to be a

At Ormsby, the foiests are on flre At
Dent and at llcAmblay's the wo ids are
burning. At the latter place scarcely
anything Is left to be devoured exeepi
s few houses. The east hill at Toad
Hollow Is a mountain of flre.
The Emery Oil company's property
on the opposite side of the road is now
considered safe, i.ate this evening the
flre had again crossed the cr.. k at
Toad Hollow and the Emery Oil com-
pany's steamer was sent to protect its
property. The Toad pump station of
the United State line, a Ha.QOO barrel
tank and 600 barrel tank filled with oil,
were In Imminent danger, along with
the dwelling houses at this place.
A squad of firemen aided by the res-

out of the settlement.
Just south of Bradford, and not far
from the city line, flre Is raging. The
Rock Glycerine company's magazine,
containing 500 of explosives, Is almost
surrounded by flre and it Is feared it

The Neodesha oil field Is
ally opened though it may be a few
months before operators can begin to
realize any returns from their oil.
Recent test* have established be-
yodn the shadow of a doubt 4he great
value of Southern Kansas oil. It 1?
now established by scientific experi-
ments that southern Kansas oil is rich
in illuminating and lubricating quail
ties.
About one month ago Qultey & finley
shipped a car load of- oil to the Pitts-
burg refinery at Coraopolls for the pur-
pose of refining and analyzing Its com-
ponent parts. The tests' have been
made and show that the Kansas crude
will give per cent of white water re-
fined of 1."0 degrees flash test, or r.O per
cent of 110 flash test. It also contnlns
from 10 to la per cent of an excellent
lubricating oil. and from 12 to 1f> per
cent of naphtha. The greater portion
of the balance Is valuable for fuel pui-
poses.
There is now wlthlng a radius of five
miles of Neodesha fifty-three wells,
'ive are gas and the remainder are oil
.ells which produce three to fifty bar-
els a day. There has been a good deal
