At 10 o'clock n brisk west wind sprang up nnd fanned the burning brush and hemlock timber Into one solid mass of Uro covering a tretch of three miles In width.

Mnny women fell exhausted and were trampled on but reached Highland In safety. Noth ing Is left of the once bustling little place. The fire Is still burning fiercely amonff tho oil wells. It la Impossible to estimate the loss. The woods leading to Clark's mills arc one mass of flames on both fides of the road, and how the people who live nlong the rond could havu escaped Is beyond comprehension. .Thore Is no communication of any description with this place and no news obtainable from there, but there Is no doubt of evory thlnif having been burned In the path of the fire, as there wns no protection of any kind. Every available man Is out lighting lire, nnd there are not half enough. Coon Itun, three miles from Itussell City, which wus wiped out yesterday Afternoon, was entirely obliterated from tho face of thu earth, and nothing re mains to show that there ever wns such a place.

About twenty-live tanks of oil wero consumed und lent energy to tho (lames. The loss will be very great. No esti mate can bo made until tho tires abate.

Nothing has been heard frum West Branch, where a brisk tiiv Is burning. Kverythlng at Sugar Run, Including saw mills nnd dwellings, were burned nnd nothing remains of the place.
