NEWS BY TELEGRAPH.
A Great on Fire.

JERSEY Cry, May 1O--The works of
the Standard oil company at near the
city the most extensive in this country,
are on fire and about one half of the prop
erty Is now destroyed. The fire started
during severe storm this morning. One
of the large tanks near the shore was
struck and exploded by lightning. The
burning OIL poured out like an angry
river and flowed down the avenue be-
tween the rows of enormous tanks to-
wards the river. In shert time the
flames communicated with three high
tanks and they all exploded instantan-
eously with terrific force. Fragments
of iron were hurled the distance Of Z mile.
The burning oil was scattered in all d.
rections. The entire fire department have
been summoned put their services are al
most useless as the burning streams Of oil
poured through the yard firing tank after
tank on the east side and licking up
solid structure where the bArreled oil was
kept, was attacked by the flames and
burned. The engine houses won't next
and oil and water pump houses. The
mcnker tank and machine chop quickly
followed and the whole easterly side Of the
works IS a seething mass of flames. Despite
the tremendous heat and binding smoke
the f1remen arc working valiantly in the
hope of checking the progress OF the
flames but it appears at this hour that the
east works will be destroyed and it is
feared the flames will reach out and con-
sumo other property IN the neighborhood.
The people are deserting their houses and
moving out what is valuable of their ef-
fects 1t is estimated that there were
100000 gallons of oil In the tanks and
the loss Of property already laid in ashes
will reach one million dollars. The
shaft of lightning which was one of
unequalled brllliancy and brightness that
struck the first tank was seen by the
fircmen of engine No. 20 on Holiday
street, Jersey City, mile away and the
engine at once started for the scene. 1t
was soon discovered to he useless work to
play upon the flames and all efforts we're
directed to prevent them from spreading.
This was partially successful until nearly
O'Clock when tank No. exploded with
terrific report and the blazing oil spread
with lightning rapidity.
LATER-Flre now under control.
Thought the loss will exceed million
and half. Twelve large tanks, ten cars,
six barges and dredges, three docks and
five brick buildings destroyed. Quantity
oil consumed not known. Among the
losses besides the Standard Oil Co. are
several other oil firms who each lose from
400 to 700 barrels of cylinder oil which
was stored in one Of the warehouses.

and Lynch, humored him by promising to
put large force to work. Soon after
Gcrraughty received letter from HIM

his principal trouble there was tele-
phone in his ear which was great an
noyance to him. A week afterwards he
walked into the City Hall headquarters
Inspector Gerraugqty asked him how he
got out. "Oh," he SAID, II got on to
their racket down there. You see as long
as you're not insane they'll keep you
there, but one day | thought l would
change it and when they ask me said,
why yes, of course l am insane or else
why should ! be here. The next day l
got my discharge" He asked about his
case, if the officers were at work on it..
Gerraughty told him it was all fixed up
and his enemies disposed Of. The fellow
believed it at first but presently cx-
| claimed, emo you haven't finished it..
Hear the telephone in my car now you
must get it out. Early in the morning
Brennan visited the shop where he was
once employed. After reviewing his fan
clcd wrongs said he going up on the hill
to fix man up there. Although he did
not not speak the name he referred to
