Point Breeze Oil Works on Fire.
 PHILADELPHIA, March 9.-This morning there was an explosion in one of the agita- tors in William l.. Elkins Belmont oil works at Point Breeze In five minutes the flames spread over the works. Two alarms were sounded, which brought nearly all the fire de- partment to the scene, but owing to scarci- ty of water but little progress was made in getting the fire under control. The fremen knowing it would be impossible to extinguish the flames devoted themselves to prevent their further spread. Several small houses were destroyed. The oil will burn out to- night, provided the wind does not change and send the flames in different direction. The loss will not go over $75, 5,OOO but there is very small insurance on the works.
