A'. :3 One. Cent. ' Absolutely Independent. TUESDAY, SEPT. 29, 1891. IT IS A sonar snow. The Westchester County, N. Y., Fair Opened Under Favorable Auspicos. WHITE PLAINS, Sept. 20.-—The West— chestcr County fair was formally opened Monday. It is a great Show. It includes everything in the line of farm produce and horticulture, and the ladies this year have added needlework and a fine art depart- ment. Mr. Teall, chairman of the executive committee, has been ably assisted by the patronesses of the fair, ladies of the most prominent families of Yonkers, Dobbs Ferry, Hastings, ’i‘arrytown, Sing Sing, Pocantico Hills. New Rochelle, Rye, Mamaroneck, Portchester, thite Plains, Bedford and Elmsford. . The management has made the fair as different as possible from other county fairs, and yet retained the features so es- sential to a real country show. The stalls are filled with thoroughbred live stock, and there are the juicy deep- dish pies, tempting cakes and the flaky bread that so delight the eye and upset the digestion of the rural beholder. For the city man who is not interested in agriculture and the struggle for su- premacy in pastry cooking there Will be pony races, an entirely new feature, a horse show and a bench show. The Country club, Rockaway club, Meadow Brook club, Orange club and other swell organizations will compete for prizes in cross country runs and flat and hurdle races. The racing purses amount to $2,700, and the amount to be awarded in premiums will amount to many thousands more. Twenty premiums of fifty dollars each will be awarded in the horse show, and a number of gentlemen farmers have offered cups valued at $1,800, as well as cash prizes footing up $750. The Union Pacific Scheme 3 Success. NEW YORK, Sept. 29.—The Union Paci- fic debt extension is a success.

It Prostrated Everything; Before It and ‘ Destzroyed Probably Two Hundred Million Feet of Pine Timber. The Intense "cat. Continues. WILLIAMSPORT, N. D., Sept. 29.———C‘rz-orge W. Johnson and his son, who live near Beaver creek, were burned to death by the great Emmons county prairie fires. They hadgone to put a head fire out when the huge flames, leaping high as the house- tops, swept over them, leaving burned and disfigured corpses. Mr. Tabor, an elderly gentleman was also fatal] y burned. At the Holland settlemegt, thirty-five miles south of Williamsport, three men are known to have perished. The amount of damage done there, it is safe to say, will not be far from $50,000. ' At Winona Mr. Pratt lost forty-three steers, 'which were overtaken by the fire and burned to death. Another fire raged on South prairie and burned out Messrs. Fosburg, Mahoney, Hesholy, Houston and Parker. Hemmed in by the Flames. ST. PAUL, Sept. 29.—— Dispatches from Turtle lake state that a wealthy farmer named Nesse, who lives but a short dis- tance out of town, with his wife and sev- eral small children, were hemmed in by the flames and no doubt burned to death, as no help could reach them. Dispatches from Red Lake bring the in- formation that a furious Windstorm, which assumed the proportions of a cyclone, swept through the counties of Bellrami and Itasca, prostrating everything before , it. The damage to pine timber was great, probably aggregating from 150,000,000 to 200,000,000 feet. The region is only in- habited by lumbermen, prospectors and hunters at this time of the year, and it; is not yet known whether or not there was any loss of life. Late advices received from various parts of the state indicate that a general rain- fall has quenched nearly all the forest fires. It has also relieved the apprehen- sion of farmers that the pasturagc would be ruined by the continuation of the re- cent scorching weather. Illinois Parched and Burned. SPRINGFIELD, Sept. 20. — Reports to the state board of agriculture from twenty-eight counties in diflferent parts of the state say that In all but one Of them there has been no rain for over six weeks. In every county heard from pastures are becoming parched by the sun, wells are drying up, and stock is sufiering greatly for want of water. Dispatches from Belvidere state that there wasa great prairie fire about four miles west of there yesterday afternoon, and before it could be got under control it had burned over 200 acres. Considerable property was destroyed. Fires Spreading in “’isconsin. CHIPPEWA FALLS, Sept. 29.—-Forest fires are raging all over Chippewa county.

Schultz, superintendent of the Pennsylvania state hospital for the insane, died at Danvilie of heart failure. Mr. Ellis and his assisting “rainmakers" continued their experiments in the neigh- borhood of Corpus Christi, Tex., and after discharging their bombs were rewarded by the downfall of a very heavy shower.

While chestnutting near Harrisburg, Pa., Amos Becklinger fell from a tree and broke his neck.
