THE LATE FIRE IN THE OIL REGIoNs-The
tanks OF Henry Harley II Co, at Shaffer Pa.
which receive oil from Benehoff Run, two
miles distant, by pipes, were set on fire at
three o'clock on the morning of the 18th, but
through the courage and industry of the en-
ployees all but two out of the seven tanks
were saved. Four of the Oil Greek cars with
two loaded tanks on each, were DESTROYED,
together with pipes, platforms, and 500 barrels
partly filled with oil, belonging TO varlous
parties. About ZOO barrels were burned on
this occasion. Friday morning. at eleven
O'Clock, an armed mob. estimated by the watch
men at from twenty-five TO two handred
emerged from the thickets surrounding the
tanks, and ordered the watchmen to leave in
stantly. The latter hesitating, the mob rushed
forward, yelling and firing rapidly with revol-
vers. The watchrnen fed, after firing a few
times in return. The incendiary mob then
applied the match, and stood guard until the
conftagration was under full headway, defying
any one to attempt to put ont the fire The
regular watch OF three men was increased after
The first fire to seven. and were ALWAYS fully
armed. 1t was generally believed, and threats
had been frequently made, that the tank would
be burned. The second fire destroyed all of
the company's property. The entire village of
Shaner was in imminent danger. The com.
pany is insured. Teamsters who are out of
work are known 10 be the guilty parties The
property will be replaced and put in working
order in two or three days. No hives are
ported lost, but il is said that one or two of
