Hopkins sells the shoes aud rubbers, Wheeler, Duseuburr & Co.' Lumber Yard Licked up by Flames, aud 7,000,000 Feet of I.nuiber Burned. The most disastrous fire that has ever occurred in Forest county visited the vil lage of Endeavor, Hickory township, and licked up between 6,000,000 and 7,000,000 foot of manufactured lumber belonging to Wbeelbr, Dusenbury & Co., the exten sive lumbermen, at an early hour yester day morning. Not a single one of the numerous piles of handsome pine and other lumber in the firm's yard, covering an area of perhaps two acres of ground, Is to be seeu to-day, and only great heaps of smouldering ashes mark the place whore a few hours ago was as fine a lot of lumber as is Been in a hundred miles' travel. The firo was first discovered about 3:00 o'clock at the lower end of the yard, in a pile f exceptionally dry lumber, re moved at least fifty feet from where any one had been working during tho night (the mill is running day and night), and there is scarcely a doubt but that the fire had its origin in tho dastardly work of an incendiary. Connected with the plant is a fino sys tem of water works, with a reservoir of several thousand barrels capacity, and having a splendid pressure, but tue sup ply was soon exhausted without scarcely checking the flames, so fierce did they burn in the partially seasoued lumber piles. Tionesta was called upon by tele graph and In a very tew minutes after word came here, J. C. Scowden, J. VV Jamieson,1 Joe Clark, Jim Morrow, Davey Blum, Harold Herman and Jake Hood were on their way witbastringof hose, ar riving in time to do splendid work in keeping the flames partially in check, though the water pressure had been weakened considerably by the constant streera which the Endeavor department had been playing on the fire. The near est available engine to be had was at Warren, the Struthers and Wctmore hose companies from tbore responding promptly with a steam engine, which did fine work with two good streams of wator taken from the mill pond. With all theso efforts the fine large band mill and all of tho railroad track were saved, and the work of manufacturing lumber will not be seriously interfered with. Three of the company's dwelling bouses nearest the yard were burned to the ground. They were occupied respec tively by George Crider, the mill fore man, Robert Lynch and Fred Oviatt. Tbo contents of these dwellings were all saved. So great a conflagration natural ly aroused everybody In the neighbor hood, and all went to work with a will to save property, and did not cease their la bors till all danger from further spread was passed. Mr. N. P, Wheeler, senior member of the firm, was East at the time and has not yet had time to return. Mr. Warden, the general superintendent of the plant, estimates that thero wore bet , eon six and seven million leet of lumber in the yard, most of which was of a superior quality white pine and much of it "clear stuff." He estimates that tho Company's loss will be about fel30,000, on which tiiere is an insurance, with the C. M. Amor A Son agency, of $25,000, leaving a net loss of over $100,000. The saving of the mill was a fortunate stroke, and this was done only by the most persistent work of the firemen, who stuck to the job ami kept streams of water playing on the fire un til alter three o'clock in the afternoon. If this fire was the work of an iacendi. ary, and It can scarsely be anything eles, ihe desporate vandal must bo fearfully constituted if ho can contemplate such devilish work with any degree of satis faction, whether tho crime will ever be revealed or not, time alone will tell. Court Minutes. When our report of the court's pro ceedings closed last week the Erankliu- Allegheny bridge case against the county of Venango was on trial.
