BURNING OF EXTENSIVE oIL-woRKS AND OTHER
PROPERTY - LOSS, $40, 0-SPONTANEoCS
COMBUSTION TIE PROBABLE ORIGIN.
NEW YORK, May ia fire which lasted
all day and destroyed four hundred thou
sand dollars worth OF property broke out
| 1t 10 O'Clock this morning in Brooklyn, in
| Campbell Il Thayer's oil-works, situated on
| Water street between Washington and
Main. The building was six stories high,
occupying half the block. The flames
| spread rapidly. The block in which the fire
occurred is bounded by Water, Washing
ton, Front, and Main streets. Adjoining
is considerable number Of small stores and
tcncment-houses and large brick factory,
owned by Messrs. Campbell Il Thayer, on
Front street, connected by oi-tanks with
the main building. BY means OF these tanks
tire communicated TO the rear buildings, aud
when it seemed probable that the tire was
thoroughly under control, it was suddenly
discovered that the flames had again burst
out more furiouSly than ever.
About O'Clock in the afternoon fire broke
out in an adjoining building on Front
street. There the flames spread so rapidly
that the tirelncn were compelled TO TALL back,
and By I o'clock nothing but the walls OF
that building remained. The occupants or
the adjoining tenement-houses rushed INTO
the streets, where their furniture had been
hurriedly piled up. These houses escaped
without injury. Only one person is re-
ported injured. Frank Hatton, member
Of No. Truck, in order to escape from a
dangerous position, jumped from the roof
OF Front-street building to the roof OF an
adjoining house, a distance OF twenty-five
feet. His back was badly injured, and he
was taken to the City Hospital.
This makes a total loss OF about $500, 1000,
on which there is IN insurance OF $500, 200.
Fire Marshal Keary held an investigation
this evening, and came to the conclusion
that the fire originated from spontaneous
combustion, the oil igniting the gunny'
