Locomotive Sparks Ignite Three Large
Oil Tanks-Great Destruction of Prop
erty Feared.
BRADFORD, Pa, Feb. IA spark from
locomotive on the Buffalo, New York & Phil
adelphia railroad, this evening, set fire to lit
tie pools of oil in the lowland near Olean,
N. Y, where the United Pipe line have num-
Der of tanks located A few moments after
the pools OF oil were set on fire the flames
were communicated to three iron tanks,
containing in all 1O2, 900 barrels of oil, which
are now in flames. Pipe line men from all
sections of the oil region have been summon
ed by wire to the scene of the fire. Superin-
tendents Shaw and Smedley, with large
force of men, left Bearford by special fast
running train. They took picks, shovels, can
on and chemical fire extinguishers. Embank-
ments will be formed to prevent the spread of
the boiling oil when overfows occur. which
will be at five o'clock. The Olean creek was
near the scene of the fire, and great fears are
felt 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 of as rapidly az
possible by perforating the tanks with cannon
balls. The night is as bright as day for sev.
eral miles around the tanks. What the result
will be cannot now be cOnjectured.

The People liant TO Knoar.
washington Star.1

The newspapers in all parts of the country
are asking what has. become OF the star route
prosecutions. They do not refer to the petty
straw bond cases, but to those which, it was
SO repeatedly charged, involved thousands of
dollars illegally taken from the government.
The prosecution on more than one occasion
declared in most positive terms that it pos
sessed evidence sufficient to establish its ac-
cusations and convict the accused. First one
excuse and then another has been offered for
the delay, and now the people OF the country
simply want to know whether the charges Of
the prosecution or the counter charges of the
defense are true. The accused maintain that
these cases have been kept in existence and the
public interest in them kept alive in order that
certain persons might continue to draw. pay
for supposed services from the national treas
ury. If any thing is ever to be done with the
cases there is no reason apparent to outsiders
why the prosecution should not 20 on now.
The Guiteau case is out of the way, and the
courts can give their attention to- the alleged
star route ring.

THE REVISED EDITION.

Heapy Stocks i,s the Book Stores and Very
Fea0 Purchasers.
The revised edition of the New Tesla
ment was all the rage for time. Like
the "blue glass" excitement, and other
kindred subjects, it has had its day, as
the crowded shelves of the booksellers in
this city testify. Only few months have

the wits of the dealers were taxed to their
utmost to supply the rush; when the
preachers were in their glory, and were
besieged for their 'tviews'' regarding the
new departure in the theological world.
