ScOTLxD. Dakota, April 3.-Another terrible prairie fire swept over the country South of Scotland Monday } egnon, and its path is now marked 'h log 'smonldering embers of many e A- very high wind prevailed all day, and, with grass as dry as tinder, the te-rifie force of the tire is beyond - description. At 3 o'clock word was 'brought to town that the prairie was afire Northwest of town, and immediately a hundred men started in teams towards the approaching fire, armed with brooms and sacks. Arriving at Alred .rown's farm, two miles Northall his barns, dairies and 'attle s iede were one blazing mass, and the e~orts of the ~erowd were directed to saving his residence and beating the fire oat that would in a short time have swept down upon the town. Brown's residence was saved. but all his house holi goods that had been carried out by t'ie .amily were burned. O;e miie: North of Brown's the fire gured, Ienry Hagelfry out of every Sar -*possession. His louse, barns and stock were consumed and he barely escaped with his family. Across from Hagelfry lived S. K. Tom linson, a prosperous farmer. and every thing about his place except his house was swept away. Five horses and sev eral head of live stock were among his losses: His wife was home alone when the fire= broke otit, and could do noth ing to'save'the property. By evening the fire in the West had been extinguished, but it is still raging in the Southeast. The town of Olivette, the County seat of Hutchinson County, eight miles North, is reported to be more than half burned up. Bridges on the railroad West of town were burned. The losses for the last two (lays will be $50,000. m1N\EAPOLs, April 4.-During the last two days South Dakota and Min nesota have been swept by a series of wind storms which have caused hun dreds of thousands of dollars damage to property, ang several, lives have been lost. Tie storm started Monday 'night and swept over a large area South of the Northern Pacific Railroad in Dakota, and extending into the Southern tiers of Counties in this State. - The greatest damage has not been cau b hi'iind adne, butt in hany: places bfres, fanned into fury by the storms, have wiped out of existence several small villages and hundreds of farmers' houses. The towns almost completely destroyed are Violin, Olivet, Pukawana, Lester yule and Mount Vernen, and three or four villages were badly damaged. At Violin every house in the place except three were demolished and 100 people are without homes. Lesterville is Battened to the ground and twenty families a without a roof. A terrible gale of wind struck Mount Vernon and fire started from a small house that was blown over early last night. No human power could stop the flames, anid in an hour the best portion of the place was one great raging fire. Nearly 200 families are homeless and the lpss will foot up $200,000. It is re potted thbat 'several persons lost their lives in this fire, but no confirmation havet been received. Four large ele vators and the Milwaukee depot were -'destroyed. * Near Clunt,'one man lost 500 head of sheep which were-caught in the prairie fire. Several '-head of horses were saved by swimming the river. In many places the crops were .covered by lotse isand and dust and will have to be re planted. Travakwas suspended on some lines of road/.- so (Kgreat - was the force af-the.e wind. Clouds of dust prevented .the aengineers. fromn seeing the trae', og . .report from Gary says th sun' was aimost totally ob seured, and the superstious thought * tha'end ~of the woid'had come. Farm houses and barns were swept away and horses and cattle were burned to death by scores. Near Milbank fifty head of live stock are reported lost, and fire has swept over twenty miles of country, causing immense losses. The storm has abated somewhat, but the wind is vet bioh enough to keep the fire burning fier ~, and further heavy losses are almost certain. The damage *in Minnesotas ismuch less than in Da kota, as thefor&ce of the storra was pretty well spent3efore it reached the - boundary. A dispatch from Yankton, Dakota, says: Thle records of the Signal Office show that during the prevalence of the *frres in this regtion the humidity was but sevenjer eeut.-a condition of dryness, Sereant Oswald says, never before at tained in this region. The maximum humidity -is 100; the mean annual -hu midity hiere is 70. This shows that the atmosphere. . was almost devoid of moisture. The velocity of the wind was - forty-six miles an hour. The losses in South Dakota will foot up W2,000,000, at low calculation. Sr. Paul. April 4.-A Lake Bepiton, Minn.; -special says: The most devastat ing prairie fire ever known raged over the prairies West and North of Lake Benton Tnesday. ~'The wind was a hur ricane for nearly twenty-four, hours and sweptythe fire along with r-esistless force. passing the widest fire br-eaks as nothing and leaping plowed fields with a bound. it licked up hlouses, barns, stock and in some places human lives. The greatest destruction of property and toss of life is in Dakota. Ree Heights. a town West on thle Northwestern road, is almost destroyed. D~empster,. a station on the Watertown branch, is reported destroyed. Spauldinig's Ranch. near there, is also reported consumed. C.ross ing into LincolIn County. over a tract of land comparanvely. little settled .and acgvged.,wi~th a heavy growth of grass, it .swept on withb rene weai velo city. ft is reported that IHenry Kourg Mr.: Berg, G. M. Moon and others~ near here lost nearly all their buildings with contents. A Jackson, Minn.,- special says: The prairie fires prove more general than was at first believed. Additional losses are reported from all directions, and messengers bring news of stubborn fights to- saie en'dangered property. Fires were raging in ev-ery direction, and each seemed to pursue a distinct course of its own. -The fire which would have swept this village from th be face of the earth has been traced to its origin. The search culminated in the arrest of James Travnick. When ar-j enced to pay $2. and costs or in de :eult thereof sixty days in jail. Much lissatisfaction is expressed about this sentence. Public opinion is that justice .as been too highly tempered with nerev. The Miller. Dakota, correspondent of he Ploeer Press telegraphs: The prai ie fires Tuesday night destroyed about orty houses, many barns, a large num ber of horses and cattle, and left about forty-animals destitute in the South part :f this Count y. A terrible gale of wind ;dded to the terrors of the situation. The loss is estimated at $50,000. The County Commissioners are in session and will see that no one suffers for the necessaries of life. From Huron, Dakota, comes the fol lowing: No prairie fire in the history of this part of Dakota equals that of Tues day. In this County the losses are much less than in the Counties West. Half a dozen houses were burned and many settlers lost their barns, some stock and a large quantity of hay and grain. The wind was from fifty to sixty miles an hour and sent the burning embers over the ploughed ground and fire-bteaks several rods wide, setting fire to every thing in their course. The fire came up so rapidly that settlers had only time to save themselves, leaving their property to the mercy of the flames. In Sully and IIughes Counties $200,000 worth of property has been destroyed. Near Highmore Miss Sweeney was burned to death, and near St. Lawrence Mr Bab cock perished in the flames. A DAKOTA CIRCUNSTANCE. Illustrating the Way in Which the Cheer ful Boomer Booms. I met the man in Omaha who boomed Palestine City, Dakota, and as I had been out there and found it a tract of land without a house or an inhabitant, was naturally anxious for further partic ulars. I had received one of his circu lars, and I asked him: "You spoke of six railroads as cer tain to come to the place. What was to bring them?" --Geographical situation, sir, I couldn't see how they could possibly get by the town. I had the finest bed of gravel von ever saw, and railroads always want gravel. I put the number at six, but that was a low estimate." "In speaking of the climate you said a man could go in his shirt sleeves in January.' "So he could-did it myself; it would have been more comfortable with two overcoats on, but I was experimenting with the climate." "You said you gathered strawberries in December." "Exactly. They were in a can, but I forgot to state that fact. I write very carelessly when in a hurry." "And you said that ploughing was go ing on all winter." "So it was. Did I state the sort of ploughing?" 'I think not." "Very careless in me, sir. We begin snow-ploughing in November, and keep it up until April. I am always cheer fully willing to explain these little mat ters. "You had a thousand inhabitants, and were to have five times that number in a year?" "Certainly. Had a very large Indian camp there at the time. An Indian is an inhabitant, I suppose. The laborers employed on the six railroads would have made up the remainder, It was a very low estimate." "How about coal being found on the ground?" "I found it, sir. I scattered 200 pounds of it around there, and most of it can be found yet." "And yon stated that the thermome ter did not go below 3.5 degrees above zero." "Fact, sir. *I was there for several weeks in July and August, and '1 can assure that I did not exaggerate in the least." "I did not see anything of your gas and water works." "No, sir. In shipping them from the East there was some mistake, and they went on to some town in Arizona. An noyed me very much, I can assure you, but mistakes often happen in a new country.". "If I remember right. the town had two banks, three churches, a good school, a theatre, fire department, police force, and a $20,000 court house." "Exactly, sir. The statement was a little premature, but made-in all can "And your terms were only $30 a lot, business or resident?" "Only $30, sir, which you must admit was wonderfully. cheap. Nothing like it ever offered the great American pub lic. I sold over 900, sir." "But what was the matter with the town?" "Circumstances, sir. It was suddenly discovered that my title to the land was defective-in fact that I had no title. Very annoying, I assure you. But for that I might have soM 2,000 lots. Great' drawback to me, sir." "But what of the 900 purchasers of lots?" "I feel for them, sir-feel for them; but this is a world of disappointment. I may found another town. further West,'and if I do, my first move will be to sell every one of the 900 a $200 lot for1 100. I'll'be glad to do it, sir--ver y ~ad. Good day, sir." Unprecedented Trip of a Locomotive. BUFALO, April 1.-The new engine, .. G. Darwin, of the Strong Locomotive Dompany, completed to-night one of the nost unprecedented trips in the history >f locomotive engineering, running the mtire distance from Jersey City to ~uffalo on the Erie road, a distance of 123 miles, with the regular day express, hich left New York at 9 o'clock this norning. The engine, which is known mong railroad men as the "Missing Link," came into town with a train of iine'cars ar 10:26 p. in., three minutes head of time. The train was hauled~ ver the steep grades of the Eastern )elaware. Susquehanna and Buffalo livisions of the Erie by the '"Dat-win," *here four of the ordinary Erie engines tre usually employed to carry the same rans. George McKee, the engineer, was in' ~harge of the "Missing Link" all the vay through.

PHILADELPHIA, April 7.-A startling y incident occurred at the Arch Street l Theatre during Marie Prescott's per- h formance of "Ingonar' on Monday t night, which illustrates in a forcible 3 manner the pathetic side of stage r life. While Miss Prescott was in ( her dressing room preparing for the 1 next act a blue-coated messenger boy f tapped at the door and a moment later 1 handed in a telegram. e It was only a line, but it caused the c actress to grow pale and almost fall to f the floor. It was from her home, and simply announced the death of her son, young man of 16, who had been the s idol of her heart. Before she had re- I covered from the shock the call boy came to announce the act. By a power- 1 ful effort she roused herself, and with a heroism that would have done credit to a Spartan mother. went on the stage 1 to continue the entertainment for the l benefit of the waiting audience. The most dramatic part of the event, f however, was yet to come. Just as the act:ess. in her part of Parthenia, says to Ingomar: "I will never see thee more.' she fell senselc.s and prostrate at his feet. It was some moments before the audience realized the situation. Some thought it was in the play, but they 1 were soon undeceived. Several sym pathetic spectators, grasping the state of things, cried out: "Lower the cur tains!" This was (lone and restoratives were applied to the actress. In less than ten minutes the play was resumed, the star sustaining her difficult 1 part-rendered still mre difficult under 1 the circumstances-with heroism that called forth unstinted praise. After the performance she was removed to her hoteT in a coupe. The whole affair had about it a dra matic flavor that made it of intense in terest, and evoked the hearty sympatby of the large audience. The majority of the spectators were under the imptes sion that Miss Prescott was ill, and left the house without learning the real cause of the agitation on the stage. Nervous prostration was feared, but her manager, John Whitely, stated at a late hour that she was resting as comfortably as could be expected. ALL ABOUT THE STATE. -The ecmmittee appointed to raise money to defray expenses of suit in the matter of the railroad township bonds of Lancaster is making very little pro fgress. -Alfred Aldrich of Barnwell is receiv ing inquiries from all over the North about game chickens. The 2urf, Field and Farm says his strain is the best in the United States. -The heaviest man in Lancaster County, and perhaps the largest in the State, is D. B. Plyler, who lives near 0. K. His weight is 380 pounds. He is about 40 years of age and can "cut the pigeon wing" as gracefully as any man in the State. -Ledger. -The Le.rington Dispatch thinks there are enough horses killed every year on bad roads, and enough damage to wagons and harness and the tempers of drivers to make our roads very much better than they are if the cost of these damages were put upon them. -Nat Bates, a colored boy about 10 years old,. was suddenly killed and shockingly mutilated on the 27th ult., at J. E. Hair's saw mill near Blackville. Bates and another negro were carrying off slabs. As Bates was walking back wards with one end of a slab he unfor tunately stepped too close to the saw, which caught the leg of his pantaloons and drew him to his death. His body was cut nearly in two from the top of the right shoulder downward. -The colored folks of Newberry had a gander pulling last Thursday. A live gander, whose neck is picked of the feathers, is swung up by his feet on a pole or limb, and the riders dash at him on their ho'rses, the object being to break the neck and pull off the head of the fowl. The successful rider is enti-t ted to crown his best lady as queen of love and beauty. Gander pullings were held in this County by the whites before the war.-YKeuberry Herald ADVERTISE FOR A WIPE.

BISrARCK'S EYES ARE OPEN. He Wants to Know How Much We Are Crippled by the Samoan Disaster. WASHINGTON, April 4.-The German Minister to-day received a telegram in eipher from Prince Bismarck instructing him to cable at the earliest moment the names of the vessels ordered by the Secretary of the Navy to proceed to Samoa and take the place of those wreked by the hurricane there of March 15; also, the number of men and officers carried by each ship, its tonnage and horse-power, the number, size and kind of guns, whether the vessels are equipped with torpedoes, and whether the sending of reinforcements to Samoa will weaken the American navy in any other part of the world to any consider able extent. The Minister was also in structed to find out and report to the German Foreign Office without loss of time the condition of the new vessels in process of construction. The genuineness of the dispatch may be denied by the German authorities, but the New York World correspondent is able-to vouch for its absolute accu racy. It will be remembered that sev eral German naval and military experts have visited this country since the ap pearance of the Samoan war cloud for the purpose of reporting to the German War Office upon the condition of our saval and military armaments. From :he instructions received by the German \inister to-day, however, it would ap >ear that Prince Bismarck wishes to pr-o -ide himself with later and more accu -ate information. Pemale Pharmacists.

Many women in late ears have become physicians and mrses; it is. therefore, only proper that he female medical corps should be comn letely equipped by the addition of pothecaries to the staff. We see it tated that there are more than twenty . momen pharmacists in the Quaker City., here they arec highly vahued for their fficiency, faithfulness and discreetness. 'omnen trained to business generally r omnmend themselves by attention to n tuty, steadiness, carefulness and ami- ti bility of deportment. These qualities I articularly fit them for the profession r< f apothecaries, and it would not be sur rising, therefore. if the numbers of the - pharma sisters" greatly increased.
