STANDARD LswoRKs FIRE.
CLEVELAND, Dec. 24.-At $50, this morning,
fire broke out in one of the two large barrel
factories at the Standard Oil Co.'s works, cor

great amount of valuable, adjoining property

not probably extend beyond the building

total loss. As far can be learned at present
the loss will probably not exceed $4,000 or
1000. Further particulars later.
Midnight-The fire is completely subdued.
A later and probably more accurate estimate,
places the loss at 100000. principally confined
to the building and machinery. No insurance.
