The joint commission, created by the act of

of supervising and directing tie completion of

commission the President is a member, has
given careful attention to this subject and al

the entire success If this part of
the work. A massive layer of masonry has
been introduced below the original foundation,
widening the base and increasing the stability
of the structure, rendering it possible to carry
the shaft to com mpletion. It is earnestly rec

PHILADELPHIA June IL.
During the thunder storm Yesterday
morning. the lightning struck the pump
house of the Atlantic Refining Company,
st Point Breen, on the ~Schuylkill river, in
the southern section of the city works of
the Company, together with the works of
the Atlantic Petroleum Storage Company,
both under the management of Wordcn,
Frew L Co. They occupied with various
buildings, about IS acres Of ground.
| Along the river front were stored about
| q, 900 cases OF oil, and on the river by the
| wbarfs. were a number of ships and barks,
loaded or loading with oil. The pump
house, where the lightning struck, is a
long frame building, in which was stored a
mass OF machinery. In q few minutes the
flames communicated to the large ware
house where the barrels are filled. This
was soon developed in flames, which then
extended to the Superintendent's Office and
residence; thence to the cooper shops, and
then to the long line of sheds on the wharf.
By this time an immense quantity Of crude
and refined oil was on fire. The burning
oil was running in all directions, and
along the line of the wharf the property
was soon ONT msss Of flames. BY the time
the fire engines reached the scene,
five ships in the river, and 10,0 0 bar
re1s OF oil and the surrounding buildings
were burning for a distance Of over / 900
yards, and the heat had become so intense
that very little Roadway could be made
| against the fire. The first of the vessels in
the river 10 catch fire was the Florida, an
Austrian bark, loaded with IL, 900 cases of
oil, and it was soon burned to the waters
edge. The fire then communicated to the
French Algerman bark. from Leghorn,
which was empty !; then to the Giuseppe
Quinton. an Italian bark, from Genoa,
which had reached the wharf only an hour
before, and was also empty; then to the
Ilion, a Russian bark, with about 1000
barrels of oil on board then to the Hud-
son, a Norwegian ship Of 1000 tons,
which was nearly ready for departure,
With 1000 barrels Of oil. All of these YES
sels were destroyed. At 10 o'clock last
night the area which the fire had covered
was still a mass of flames. 1t will probably
continue to burn for several DAYS. No es-
innate could be obtained from those inter-
ested as to what the total loss to the COM
pany will be, 1t has been variously esti-
mated at from $500, 900 to $500, 900. 1t is
understood that the company has no in
surance, but that the Atlantic Company,
which Is now controlled by the Standard
oli Company, are participants in an insur-
ance fund which is pooled by various oil
companies. The vessels burned were in
sufed abroad. The total value of the car
goes destroyed is estimated at $40, 900.

THE SOUTH sMsfsTlY CONSERVATIVE
THE SLAVE TRADE CRUSHED IN
UPPER EGYPT.

NEW YORK, June II.
Tribune" reporter has interviewed
| Wade Hampton, o here. He said Tie
| South is eminently conservative, and has
always been so; it wants to be quiet, and
does not want to be the victim, nor mover,
in ANYTHING that will create trouble or mis-
trust as to the laws permitting the presence
of troops at the polls; they were war meas
ures. and all wish them repealed. North
| erDers. Democrats as well as Republicans,
are all at sea about the South. tdoes not
follow that because il did not succeed in
leaving the Union that it still wishes to in
| lure it. This is the only country the
Southern people now have. and they wish
to make it as great and prosperous as pos
| sible. The South ought to be credited with
| having prevented a war in 1876. when the
| whole country was at fever heat over the
Presidential election. A gun fired in South
Carolina would have precipitated a general
war. The South is stronger to-day than
in 1850. There is no feeling Of timidity
actuating her present actions; there is no
desire for another war ; the South wants
peace. This / know to be the feeling
Of the whole people there. The South
does not want anybody from that section
for either President OF Vice President. The
| South wants the North to place two good
men in the field for these positions
Hampton continued / think it will be
