BURNING or1.-Yesterday morningabout
Q o'clock, a bulk oil barge containing about
1900 barrels Of crude oil, and which had
been left by the towboat james Jackson at
the Steubenville wharf, suddenly took
fire, greatly endangering the wharf boat
and the steamer Della, both Of which were
lying above the oil barge. The fire appa-
ratus Of tho city was brought into play,
and succeeded in protecting the Della
from damage until tho Jackson, which was
lying at a point some distance below, with
the balance OF her tow, came TO the rescue.
Making an attachment to the burning
barge she drew 1t out into the river
and let it 60. At about IL o'clock,
Captain Tate, Of the p, W. & Ky. r. r.,
observed the barge about three miles be-
low Steubenville, still burning furiously.
How much farther 1t came down before

barge was ono Of three on route for Hun

the fire Is said TO have been o spontaneous
explosion Of the oil. This, however, we
are assured by an experienced oil man

How The Holiday Was Observed In
wheeling.

Wheeling.
Christmas, the great Christian festival,
with its fantastic mystery and religious
romance, It's happy greetings and memen.
toes that bring pulsations OF Joy to mill
ions ofhearts has sonceagain come eand gone.
There were joyful music and feasting in
thousands Of bright, happy homes; busi-
ness cares and everyday troubles were,
for the time, laid aside, and the pleasures
Of the day were entered into with quiet
Eest. The day witnessed many happy
gatherings OF families under the roof Of
the old home; all the members Of which,
perhaps, had not met around the family
board for year, and 1t may be, tor many
years. In some homes where the death
angel had preceded the festal occasion,
the vacant chair was sad reminder; but
the aged father and loving mother, some
OF whose dear ones still remained, found
much TO be thankful for in the happiness
that attended the family reunion and
feasting .... ..,s. a,tt. .,..,.
Christmas, OF course, is always observed
as holiday, but we doubt II the day was
ever more thoroughly enjoyed in Wheel
ing and vicinity than the one that has
Just passed. Notwithstanding the TACT
that the skies were obscured by dull,
impenetrable veil OF sombre, ,leaden clouds;
that the streets were sheeted with ice OF
glass.like moothness; and that cold and
cherries atmosphere wrapped all out
doors in its gloominess, there were more
people out than on any Christmas day for
0 long time. The city wore holiday air.
The sidewalks on Market and Main, and
portions OF 18th and 18th streets, were 80
crowded the greater portion Of the after
noon that 1t was almost impossible to
move on them except as the mass OF hu-
manity in which one became wedged,
swayed backward or forward.
And while many persons puton holiday
attire both physically and mentally, there
was still commendable degree OF order
maintained. Few intoxicated persons were
seen, -pnd the police were called upon but
seldom to preserve the peace. All the
in which services were held were
well attended. Then, as is always the case,
there were number Of balls, all OF which
had large and joyous crowds in attend
ance. ,.sf s
