BURNING OIL.
New YORK, Dec. ga. fire broke out
this afternoon in Weston 81 Efsk's oil ware
house No. 81 Water street, six story build
ing, and blazed up in aminnte. The people
in the different lofts barely escaped with
their lives. The firm of Weston g. Fisk
were refners and dealers in lubricating oils.
The stock was worth $4,000 The building
belongs to the Caswell estate, and is dam
aged about $4,000. The principal danger
apprehended was that the adjoining United
States bonded warehouses would catch fire.
Every effort was made to prevent
this. Tobacco and liquor of great
value were stored in this building.
up to 3 p. IN. it had not caught, hut the
smoke and water inflicted a damage of
$500 to the goods stored in it, The losses
are covered by insurance.
Later in the afternoon the flames were got
under control, but not before they had burst
through the roof of Weston 81 Fisk's. The
flames were prevented, however, from
Spreading to the bonded warehouse adioin-
ing. The property of We'll & Co. stored IN
the warehouse consisted of 5000 bales of i'm
ported leaf tobacco, and was damaged by the
smoke and water. There were also 100 bar
