machinery of the original clause.

Destructive Oil Fire,

On the afternoon of May 8, by a gas
explosion in a stove in the house of Justice
Cline, Rcxforl town, eleven miles southwest
OF Bradford, Pa, the building was fired. All
the adjoining buildings where light frame
structures, and the fire spread rapidly, and
before its fury was spent eighty buildings
were laid in ashes. The list embraces the
principal hotels, stores, and business places,
including the Kendall & Eldred railroad de-
pot. The fire also burned the pumps and
station of the United Pipe lines. A tank con-
tanning 10000 barrels of oil was burned, and
an iron tank containing $4,000 barrels is now
in flames. A short distance further down the
valley is one other $4,000 barrel tank owned
by the United Pipelines and two
Others of similar dimensions be-
longing to the Tidewater Pipe lines. These
three tanks are all full, and it is thought, can
not escape destruction. large force of men
are building dams to check the burning oil
from running down the valley, should the
tank now on fire boil over In and around
Rexford forty derricks we're also consumed.
1t is impossible to estimate the loss at present
Several wood fires are reported, but no seri-
Gus damage is yet reported.
