Great Fire at Dennis Rum, Tidt-
Oufe. .y-I-. 100 ".r Isp. z

The Erie Dispatch of Monday has the fol-
lowing account OF a disastrous fire at Tidi-
QUITE on Friday last:
"A terrible fire attended with loss of life
and an immense amount OF property, oc-
Cured at Dennis Ran, Tidioute, about
noon on Friday last. Two lives are report
ed lost, and seven persons seriously, IL not
mortally, burned. The fire originated by
the bursting of the tank belonging to the
Thompson well, the oil running down the
hill and taking fire in an engine house be-
low, the flames travelling backward up the
stream of oil and crossing the comb of the
ridge. - . -- ar ~ - --..-
The burning stream ran both wavs,
spreading from well to well, gathering
fresh fuel as the flames touched one tank
after another on Dennis Run, and COM
municating to other wells on Dingley Run,
and rushing back along the the other side
of the comb or ridge on which it started in
such an incredibly short space of time that
the crowd who had gathered to witness the
conflagration were Obliged 70 run for their
lives TO escape from the Gordon of flame
that was fast hemming them in.
1t Is reported that two men were burned
to death, and several others were seriously,
If not mortally, burned, the fire closing in
on them and rendering escape impossible.
Manywh were so fortunate as to cross the
line before the terrible ring was formed
tainted away from the sheer exhaustion atT

There was the largest audience at the OPP
era House last night that we have seen
there for some time. The attraction was

produced in good style, and received with
applause by the audience. Miss Mary

repeated tokens Of admiration from the
large audience. II. H .aa 1ol,p,

ing, and be- followed by the noted play OF
