There were no Times Democrats
in the mail last night, although the
other city papers arrived as usual.
Consequently the subscribers of tie

this morning. Considering the
fact that the mail for CoviDgton
leaves the city, on Friday, at four
o'clock in the afternoon, we hardly
think it was the fault OF The It'd.

For the SPECTATOR.
Why is 1T?

WHY'S it that Augusta street, the most i'm
portant thoroughfare of our city, should con-
tinue to be blocked up for six months or more,
by scaffolding and building material intended
for tie erection of spacious building, on
which for month past all operations have
been suspended? How long is this nuisance
to continue? Whose duty is 1t to see that it is
abated? or have the public no interests in the
public thoroughfares which individuals are
bound to respect? What have the Mayor and
Police-officers and Common Council to say on
the subject?
Every reasonable indulgence should be ex-
tended to persons improving property on the
lines Of the pubic streets but this indulgence
may be extended too far. The rights of neigh
boring property-holders are entitled to consid-
Grafton; nor should the interests of the general
public be lost sight of. Persons building,
should be required to make their arrangements
In advance, SO as to prosecute the work with
reasonable dispatch. No one should be allowed
to obstruct the public streets and sidewalks
for more than t,0o months at farthest. With
ordinary prudence in providing material, and
making proper arrangements in advance, thirty
days ought to be long enough for the erection
OF building and such advance towards its
completion as to Justify the removal of the
scafolding and surplus material and rubbish.
1t is to be hoped that the necessary steps will
be taken by the proper authorities to have this
grievance removed, PROGRESS.

DEsTR UCTIvE FIRE CAUSED BY
LIGHTNING-SIx MEN KILLED-Loss
81 500 COOLEST Thursday morning the
works of The Standard Oil Company at
Commupipaw, Jersey City, the largest
Ia this country, werestruck by lightning
and destroyed by fire. Atieast six lives
were lost in the flames, and the loss of
property will probably not fall short of
81 SOC, 000 The fire started during the
severe storm Thursday morning One
OF the tanks near the shore was struck
and exploded by the ligh thing. The
burning oil poured out like an angry
river and flowed down the avenues be-
tween the rows of enormous tanks to-
ward the river. In q short time the
flames communicated with three large
tanks, and they exploded simultaneous
y with terrific force. The fragments of
iron were hurled S distance of half 8
mile, and the burning Oil was scattered
in all directions The eutire fire de-
partment had been summoned, but their
services were almost useless, aa the
burning streams of oil poured through
the yard, firing tank after tank Oh the
east side, and licking up the buildings.
The store house, solid structure where
the barreled oil was kept, was attacked
/ by the flames and succuinbed. The en-
gine-hcuse went next, and The oil and
water pump-h houses. The sunken tanks
aud machine shops quickly followed.
Despite the tremendous kat and blind
lug smoke the nfenien worked valiantly
in the vain hope Of checking the prog
ress of the flames. People near by
deserted their homes and moved ont
their effects.
