FIRE IN THE OIL FIELDS.
Four Tanks ON Fire, and the Fire still
Spreading.

BRADFORD, Pa, February ia spark
from locomotive on the Buffalo, New York
and Philadelphia railroad last evening set
fire to the little pools of oil in the low
ground near Olean, New York, where the
United Pipe Line have a number of large
iron tanks located. A few moment after the
pools OF oil we're set on fire the flames were
communicated to three iron tanks contain
ing in all one hundred and five thousand
barrels of oil, which are now in flames The
Pipe Line men from all sections of the oil
region were summoned by wire to the scene
of the fire. Superintendents Snow and
Smedley, with large force of men, lett
Bradford by a special fast-running train.
They took picks, shovels cannon and chem
ical fire extinguishers. Trenches and en-
bankments will be formed to prevent
the spread of the burning oil when the
overflow occurs. Clean creek runs near
the scene OF the fire, and there is great fear
that the oil will strike the surface OF the
stream and destroy a number of railroad
bridges and houses near the banks of the
creek. The oil will be drawn off as rapidly
as possible by perforating the tanks with
cannon balls. The night is as bright as day
for several miles about the tanks. What
the result will be cannot now be coniectured.

DIR. ID. Il. PORTER.
Merited Tribute to the Worth of a Truly
Good Man.
Henderson (KYl Regi.ter.

henderson (ky.J Register.
We admire and venerate, even love, a
high toned unselfsh man wherever we find
him. There are, unfortunately, too few OF
them. IL they were more numerous the
world would be far richer in all that consti-
tutes the true basis OF human prosperity and
happiness. These thoughts were suggested
few days ago by seeing in one of our Mem
phis exchanges the organization of some
public enterprise in that city, in which the
name of DIR. D. 7. Porter headed the list.
We do not remember what the enterprise was
but this is OF no consequence here and now.
The mere mention of the name of DIR. Porter
in the connection called to mind scenes
OF the past in which he had acted an
important part, and always with a nobility
of soul which stamped him a true, high
toned, unselfsh man, and one of natures
noblemen of the truest mould. To go no
further back than 1873 he, in the trying
scenes OF the summer and autumn of that
year, risked his life for others with self
sacrificing devotion that endeared him not
only to the people Of Memphis but to thou
sands who had never seen, nor even heard of
him before. Having abundant wealth, and
no ties OF any kind to make 1t necessary, or
at all important, that he should remain in
the city and expose himself to what seemed
almost certain death, he yet chose to remain
and suffer affection with his people, so that
ne might De dOle 10 renucE dlu IN tnelr time
OF sore distress. He had a severe attack of
the fever, but recovered. The next year he
remained again to succor his afflicted people
and did to the end. What he did through
these two epidemics can never be repaid nor
forgotten. Ga the completion, later, of
the lodge of which he is a member
(Masonic), a debt OF 500 or $500 re-
manned unliquidated. The matter was
brought up in the lodge one night, and an
effort was being made 70 raise the money.
The prospect seemed gloomy. Just about
this moment he entered, and not knowing
what was going on, asked some brother for
information. 1t was given and he spoke at
once without solicitation, and said: "l'll pay
it." and actually did pay the whole debt out
of his own pocket. When Memphis was
into Taxing District" he
was made president of the council, which is
EQUIV lent there to the former Office of mayor.
The salary attached to the Office was about
one-fourth or fifth Of what his time and sery-
ices were worth to himTlf in the large buzz

SOUTH AMERICAN AFFAIRS.

New YORK, February 13.-Advices from
Lima of January 18th confirm the report
that treaty of peace has been signed be-
tween Bolivia and Peru. By its terms b.
livia is left without a seaboard.
Ga January 18th Prescott was formally
received by the Gillian government. His
remarks in presenting his credentials were
exceedingly conciliatory, stating on part of
the President of the United States that the
misunderstanding was unfortunate, and only
required clear explanation to be satisfac-
torily cleared up. The CHILEAN president
cordially replied to Prescott, giving every
assurance OF kindly intent on the part OF his
government toward the United States
The result of the contests between the
bands of Mas and Villaviceunia, at Chindla,
show that between fifty and sixty foreigners
lost their lives and property valued at S.

his soldiers permission to sack the town after

A Physicians Advice of How to Gain
Health.

HABRIsBURG, PA, March 80, 1881.
Nothing is more charming and attractive
than a thoroughly healthy, perfectly formed wo-
faced girl, one who iiads keen pleasure in merely
living. An invalid wife or mother is n constant
object of sympathy in otherwise contented
household. Happy the home whose women folk
enjoy perfect health. In my practice 1 have al
ways recommended sickly women to use Brown S
Iron Bitters. In OF irregularities, dyspepsia
indigestion, heartburn, nausea, sour sto mach,
nervousness and exhaustive debility, find it ex-
ceeds all other remedies a true medicinal tonic.
II never fails TO gently soothe, refresh and
strengthen the general system, and especially
those parts made weak by continued distress: and
what satisfies most is, that the cures, although
in some instances gradual are always permanent.
