Oil Tanks Struck by Lightning.

A correspondent Of the Titusville,
Herald writing from .Petrolia, on
Saturday, gives the particulars of a
violent storm, and the loss occasioned
thereby:
"Last night heavy wind and rain
storm visited this place, accompanied
by terrific peals Of thunder and sharp
lightning The storm continued all
the after part of the night, leveling
derricks, and ipjuring property OF
various kinds. About six o'clock this
morning twenty-five thousand barrel
tank owned by Taylor & Satterfeld,
and situated on the hill east of Argyle
was struck by lightning, causing a
heavy report, Immediately after which
a bright flame shot upward followed
by dense cloud of black smoke.
Crowds of people have visited the scene
during the day to witness the grand
spectacle. An attempt was made to
draw off some of the oil, but for long
time the swing pipe could not be low
cred, and it was thought the tank and
oil would be total loss Connections
we're made at last, however, by which
means some of the oil, at least will be
saved. All the families living near
the burning tank have aband doned their
houses and sought safety among tkeir
among their neighbors' During the:
afternoon the oil flowed down across
the track of the Parker & Harms City
railroad, and prevented the progress of
the trains. Passengers csrning east
had to 60 via Brady's Bend.
The same paper has the following
correspondence from Parker City un
der date of 22d inst:
can iron tank containing about 5,
900 barrels of oil, and belonging to
the Grant Pipe Company, was struck
by lightning this morning and set on
fire. The flames were speedily COM
municated to the wells in its immediate
vicinity, five of which were dertroyed
Connections we're made with the iron
tank, by which means portion of the
oil was run off and saved. The great
er portion, however, was consumed.
The fire is still burning fercely, with
no hope of extinguishing it until it has
burned up everything in its reach A
heavy cloud OF black smoke rolls up in
great volumes, making the sky appear
dark and gloomy. The loss will be
very heavy, but cannot as yet be esti-
mated"

Railroad troubles at Niagar Falls.

The Rochester Democrat has infer
nation of serious difficulties at Niagara
Falls between the Great Western and
Canada Southern Railways. On Thurs
day afternoon the latter tried to COZ
meet its line with Suspension Bridge
at Clifton. 1t had forty men engag ged
in the work when were attacked by 200
employees of the Great Western. The
latter drowned out the Canada South
ern workmen by turning upon them
the steam from an engine. Over 100
additional hands of the Great Western
Road reachedIthe scene Thursday night
The Canada Southern Company served
an injunctisn on the officers Of the 9TH
er corporporations after the fight.
There is great excitement over the aff-
fair, and it was feared that more seri-
Gus trouble may follow, The following
detailed account is added: The Court
of Chancery last week gave the Canada
Southern the right of approach to the
bridge across the Great Western tracks.
At s p. M, to-day Chief Engineer
Flagg with forty men commenced tear
ing up the track on the Southside near
the bridge. Tbs Great Western officers
sounded the car-shop whistles and soon
had $50 men on the spot. The South
ern men had got their ties down and
the Western hands ripped them up.
The former kept at work. The latter
then ran the engines on side tracks
and opened the valves on them, but the
Southerns were kept at work still. The
Western hands then ran an engine
through a pile Of tiles and the Southern
employees had to get for their lives. The
Western men ran the engine off the
track at a spot designated for the frogs.
The Great Western Company soon had
$50 men from Hamilton ON the ground
There are about $50 there now, and
more are expected. Mr.. Kingswell,
counsel for the Canada Southern, was
making out arrest papers when your
reporter was there at o'clock this
evening. The manager Of the South
ern informed your reporter that he viii
proceed again tomorrow. If resistance
is offered the militia will probably be
called out. The Great Western is
strongly censured by all citizens.

ANOTHER sLI9HT FIRE
The r. d u. Railroad.

OPENING OF THE ROAD UNDER CONTRACT ON MON
DAY.
The Milford news of the 9th says that the
Breakwater and Frankford Railroad running
south from Georgetown, is under contract for
the running of regular daily trains, on, and af-
ter Monday next, the S0tb inst. Subject, how
ever, to the completion Of the remaining balas-
ting, and leveling of the track, which will, it ia
believed, be done by that time.
The train will be made up aud run north from
Selbyville each morning, 10 as to connect with
the 10 o'clock A. M. train at Georgetown 4; and
remaining over there till arrival of the o'clock
T. N, train, make the return trip to Selbyville.
This is but temporary Arrangement, as the
road south from Selbyville to Berlin, is to be
placed under contract at an early day 70 as to
give daily train from and to Snow Hil If not
to the Virginia line. When this last connection
il made, enough of freight and travel will pass
over the road to warrant two trains daily, and
tue increase in number of boats to and from
Lewes, beyond the two now run weekly between

The Reported Sale of .sTba prcss.,,

the sale of controlling interest i'll the latter to
Colonel Mcclure is not an accomplished fact,
and quite probably may not become 60. On
Tuesday last, when the report of tho sale first
appeared in the Day it seemed to be about con-
eummated but subsequently hitch appeared
Tue same authority states that if Mcclure fails
to secure the Press, he may decide to purchase
the Neto Age 1t was under the pressure Of this
alternative, no doubt that Colonel Forney be-
came the more willing to sell, as another Repub-
ltcan newspaper, of the class Of the Press, could
not fail to injure the latter.

Letters from Harrisburg represent that the
reelection OF u s. Senator john Scott may not
be impossible, although the Democrats have a
majority on joint ballot. This majority is
counted, now, at only seven, SO that the change
OF four votes would be enough to fix the
business, and the Pennsylvania Railroad
influence, it is whispered, might do this.
We doubt very much whether any such
thing will happen The Democrats will most
likely control all their men, and elect their cau-
