The present dry spell is the worst ever known and the valleys of the Alleghenies filled with layers of leaves in many cases two and three feet deep, have been ripe for weeks for a great conflagration. Some fugitive fires were started recently, but the flames did not begin in real earnest until Friday after- noon, when fires in the valley below Scott's Knob and over from Kittaning Point spurred on by high winds, fairly Jeaped to the steep sides and have been since raging with uoabated fury. The scene is grand beyond description, cov. ering as it does an extent of territory three miles long, and the crackling roaring hiss of the burning timber send oul clouds of smoke that obscure the sun long before the sunset hour, The woods about Cresson Springs be gan burning yesterday, and unless rain, speedily interferes, thousands of acres of oak, chestnut and jack pine will be destroyed. The big hotel is in no dan- ger, but some of the surrounding cot- tages are in the direct track of the fire Ooly 4 chavgs in the wind can save a ne timber, the property of Judge Dean, and hundreds of nls wre in from the surrounding country fighting almost against hope the flames ndvaned, Creeping over from Kittanning Point and Scott's Knob, during Sunday, the fires struck the Dry Gap Road country yesterday, and invaded the sides of the far-famed Wopsonouock. The farm ing population turned out en mass to | save their crops, their barns and dwell ings and the property of their neigh- bors, Every thing is vow, of common interest, Hundreds of acres of cleared land have been burned over, and at noon yesterday the fire was thiee miles ina direct line, hissing aud ru-hiog along, the wind carrying live coals of bark hundreds of feet ahead into new places, The situation lust evening was serious, Nothing could pass over the Dry Gap road, walls of fire threatening instant destruction. Charles and Grif- fiths Shannon, of Eleventh avenue and Sixteenth street, this city, went out to their father's farms early yesterday morning to aid in saving property, and were three times cut off from the fight- ing brigades. They were pearly suffo- cating the last time and were rescued with difficulty. A boy named Arnot was caught by the fire and lost all the hair on his head. There were a num- ber of narrow escapes. Ramer’s lumber works were saved after three days bard fighting. His place is below the Buck Horn, The flames are now sweeping towards Homer's Gap, the rich beds of punk dry leaves assisting in the spread. Mr. Shannon says the fire swept down towards Altoona yesterday afternoon at the rate of three miles an hour, sod the wind was blowing a gale. The chestnut tracks along the Wopsononock "| are a total loss, and owners of dwellings out the Dry Gap road were in great alarm yesterday. The atmosphere is heavily freighted with smoke and the odor of burning leaves is everywhere. Last evening the city street lights look- ed as they do in a fog. A rough esti- mate places the timber destroyed and injured at from $30,000 to $50,000. Altoona Times, In Future Centuries. In the year 3090 A. D., Dr. Noni was professor of ancient history and antiquities in the University of Tim- buctoo, One morning, when his class had assembled to gather together golden grains of knowledge from the stores of his wisdom, he said: Now, young gentlemen, we will de- vote this morning to the considera- tion of a language of one of the most remarkable nations of aaotiquity, namely, the United States of Ameri- ca. The Eoglish tongue, which has long since become a dead language, was used among the people of this curious land. Mr. X——, please read the sentence upon the black- board. The student addressed arose and re- peated: Let her go Gallagher! Correct, said the professor. This is one of the most classic phrases of sotiquity. It is of a celebrity second only to the famous veni, vidi, viei of the Romans. Let ber go, Gallagher was an invocation emjloyed by the citizens of the republic on sil ocea sions of public importance or private peril. Gallagher is presumed to have been a Natiooal deity, and the words let her go ars, doubtless, an exhorts. implylog resigoation to Gallagher's will or a petition for his intercess.ou’ The phrasejis now placed oo our coins and embodied in our National arms, the same at E plaribus unum appesr- ed on the shield of the United Stats. The professor paused for a breath, and the youth at the head of the cla-s inquired: Doctor, in reading the works of the classic American suthers, like Bill Nye, Josh Billings aod Bob Burdette. I come across the expres. sion: You can’t kid me, He's an fly kid, and the like. What signifies the expletive kid? . The expression kid, in its most lib- eral sense, replied the professor, im plies self-sacrifice on the part of the person addressed. I kid, thou kiddest, he kids. It is difficult to render into our tongue, but you may understand its meaning when I say, in general terms, thatthe Americans used the expression to intimate their apprecia’ tion of any favor or act of kindness Thus, when one citizen said to anoth. er, You're kidding, he expressed his gratitude for a tindness rendered, It's a very classical expression, When the students had written this wisdom fin their note-books. To- morgew, gentlemen, said the profes’ sor, we will consider the social eus- toms of the American.

November 4.—A terrible trageby was enacted in the western portion of this city last night, the awful results of which were not discovered until 10 o'clock this morn- ing, At that hour Mrs. Mary Bruo- er, the mother of Mrs, Charles B. Brownficld who lives at No. 1022 West Chesnut street, called atthe resi- dence of her daughter, upon some matters connected with family affairs. No one answered her ring at the door bell,and after several ineffectuallefforts she went to the window of the little one-sto y frame cottage, raised it and threw open the shutters, The sight that met her eyes was horrible beyond description. In the middle of the door opening between the room occupied by her daughter and husband and their little daughter of 8 or 10 years, and the one occu- pied by William F. Bruner, a brother of Mrs. Brownfield, who resided with the family, was the body of Charles Browufield, her daughter's husbanb, suspended by a strap attached to the lintel, and swaying to and fro, the fes- tures ghastly in death. Mrs. Bruner aroused the neighbors, who made #till more horrible discov- eries. At the suicide's back on a bed in a dark corner, reposed the body of William F. Bruner, with his throat cut from ear to ear, Facing the self: murderer in the other room was an. other bed, upon which, stiffened in their blood were the forms of his wi'e and 9-year-old child. Their beads were almost severed from their bodies. Beneath Brownfleld’s feet lay the ra, zor with whiich the awful deed had been committed The bed clothing was drenched with blood, sod the faces of the victims besmeared so that they were almost beyond recognizs- tion. On the bureau in the parlor the following letter, dated 6.80 a. m., and written by the murberer in an un- usually legible hand, was found: “To All Whom Ii May Coneern: I, Charles B. Brownfield, murdereb my dear wife and baby, also W. F. Broa. er, my brotober-in-law. I Filled my wife and baby because I was tired of life, and did not want them left pen- niless in the world, and no ove to take care of them. My cause for being tired of life is gambling. Now let ny brothers and friends take warning. xilled W. F, Bruner because I didn’t think he was fit to live, sod now I will make an attempt on my life, so bye, my father, brother, sister and rienbs and relations: All take warp fog. Goodbye.” “Cras. B. Browxriern.” He was a drummer and was always koown to be sober and industrius young man. Six years ago he married Miss Alice Bruner. He seemed par ticularly foud of his wife and little son, Harold, and spent his evenings and spare time at home in their com= psay. People who koew them say they never heard him saying a cross word to his wife, and be fairly idol ized his child, who was always on his knee while he was at home, — A Prosecuted by the Priest, Lawaexce, Mass, Novemberf.—The unusual spectacle of a Catholic priest as prosecutor in 8 police court took place here yesterday.
