SUNDAY NIGHTS REPORT.

TTTUsvILLE, Pa, July 8.-There was
great fire on BennehOf run last night
During the thunder storm. the lightning
telegraph well, communicating the fire
with the tank, which exploded and the oil
ran down the run, communicating fire to
several other tanks,n which in turn
exploded and caused one of the heav-
lest cOnfagrations that the oil re-
gions has ever experienced. We learn
that between eighteen and twenty large
producing wells were burned up, including
two or three large flowing wells among
which were the Sheridan and Western I'M
ion Telegraph wells, both of them large and
tanks full OF oil; all Ofwhich were destroyed.
AS far as we can learn some twenty thou
sand barrels of oil were destroyed, and
some parties estimate 1t at much larger
figure than this. The oil was foot deep
as 1t ran down the run to Oil creek. There
were also between twenty and thirty der
ricks' destroyed, the wells of which were
at various stages of completion. The loss
cannot be estimated at present, but is very
heavy. ......... ','9H
