Terrible Oil Fire.

On Wednesday morning severe
thunder shower passed over Philadel-
phla. During the storm the lightning
struck mast of ship lying at the
Point Breeze wharf, and set on fire
the cargo. The burning vessel set fire
to others, and communicated the flames
to the large refinery located at the Point,
and before the flames were extinguished,
five vessels and the entire oil works were
destroyed. The loss exceeds one million
dollars. During the progress of the fire
some exceedingly narrow escapes were
made
About two thousand men will be
thrown out of employment by the con-
flagration, many of whom lost all their
tools and clothing. A number of the
seamen were terribly scared, and made
but little effort to save their vessels, leap
ing into the river and swimming ashore,
while Others could be seen diving into
the holds and reappearing with their
chests and clothing. These were inn
mediately transferred to skifIs, landed
and piled up beyond the reach of the
flames. The men, nearly all being for
eigners, were at loss where to go after
their ships had been destroyed, and were
provided with boarding places near the
scene of the fire, and in the central sec
ton of the city. A number of them
lose all their effects, including what
little cash they possessed, which was in
their chests.

Parr Cheats the GaIIows.

PnILApELPHIA, June 10. - Edward
Parr, the murderer of his daughter, who
sank down in the prisoners dock in the
court room yesterday from the effects of
poison just after he had been sentenced
to death, died this morning at ten min
utes before six o'clock, in the ante-room
of the court house. A number of emi-
nent physicians from different colleges
worked with him all night, but they fail
ed to restore him to consciousness. All
of PARIS immediate relatives are now in
custody, and rigid investigation will
be had with view to discovering the
manner in which and by whom poison
was conveyed to the deceased. This
saves the authorities the expense of
hanging him.
