BRADFORD, Pa, May 6,-Tn torpedoing a
well OF the Oaksdale Oil Company this after
noon the we'll overf1owed and the oil took fire,
the dry condition of the woodsl causing the
flames to spread rapidly among other oil prop
erty. AT the present writing a great fire is
raging among the wells of the Oaksdale and
the Mt. Calumet Oil Co. near Summit. An
unauthenticated report says that in the explo-
sion three men were fatally injured. The fire
is raging over miles of territory and threatens
several villages besides a vast amount of oil
property. The excitement is very high in
this city
At 4 o'clock several miles of forest were op
fire, taking derricks, tanks and everything b.
fore it. Rev City village, ten miles from Brad
ford, composed of about 100 houses, was epsIre-
ly burned, not one building remaining. The
extent of territory being so great, it is mpos-
possible to get the exact amount of property
destroyed. The fire is now under cnntrol. 1t
is estimated that 800 derricks and a great vol
ume of oil were consumed. Tb5 loss will
reach 100000 with little insurance. Reports
of several men being injured a1e unfounded.

THE PRESIDENCY.

CONCORD, n. H, May 6.-The Rupublican
state convention met this morning There
was an unusually large attendance, nearly
every delegate being present. There was little
or no excitement. Previous to the opening
Blaine and anti-Blaine tickets were fistrihuf,
ganized with Aaron Y. Stevens of Nashua for
President, and Vice President for each coun-
" ana three secretaries. Committee on Gre
dentials and resolutions were appointed,
Gen. stevens on taking the chair made q
speech, in which after reviewing the history OF
the Republican party, its war record aad its
efforts in behalf of the Union and the abolition
of slavery, he considered the future mission of
the party in enforcing the rights of Southern
Republicans and crushing out intimidation
and violence at the South, which he consider
ed were the natural results of Democratic dom
nation. The Northern Democracy, he said.
but renewed the acts Of their Southern breth-
rem IN perpetuating the fraud and violence
which have come to be factors in all their
schemes for attainment of political power. Let
us meet the Democratic monster of violence
and misrule in November and defeat it over
whelmingly.
Many passages in the speech were applaud
ed, and on concluding the speaker was greeted
with enthusiasm.
The committee on credentials reported 603
delegates present
The convention voted to proceed to elect
four delegates at large to the Chicago conven.
ton.
VIM. e. Chandler appeared before the con-
vention and made long speech. In it he fa-
vored the nomination OF Blaine, and said he
considered him the strongest candidate that
could be nominated by the Republicans.
Ex-senator Patterson followed in speech
in which he said he was for the man who
would unite the party to secure victory. If
Blaine was the best man to accomplish this,
then nomina tie him. If Sherman or Edmunds,
or Washburn cal best carry the doubtful
states, let that one be your standard bearer
He did not favor Grant, as he did not believe
in third term. The speaker then defended
the course of the Republican party during the
reconstruction era and commented on the fl
nancial heresies which had arisen South and
West, which the Democratic party openly in
dorsed. $50. g.
Mr.. Patterson was loudly applauded. He
was followed by o. G. Moore, who made a
euogistic speech in favor of the candidacy of
Blaine which evoked much enthusiasm.
Tellers to receive and a committee to cou mt
votes were then appointed, and the balloting
for delegates at large began.
Pending the declaration of the vote the
convention resolved itself into county ,conven-
lions to choose a state committee Upon re-
assembling the ballot was announced as fol-
