EXPLODING OIL TANKS.
The Pratt Astral OIL Works Nearly
Consumed by Fire
LOSS OVER $500, 900.

New YORK, Dec. 21.-One of the naphtha
tanks situated nearest the river st Pratt's As
trsl oil works, which occupies an entire block
at the foot OF 18th stree, in Williamsburg, ex-
ploded this afternoon with q deafening report.
Burning oil was scattered in every direction
and the entire works were Immediately threat
ened with destruction before the engines ar
rived. A few minutes after the first explosion
another tank burst Just in the rear and these
two sent 10, 600 barrels of flaming oil pouring
into every nook and creyice where it could
make its way about the yard. The burning
oil also flowed over from the yard on the north
side into Bushwick Creek, and continued to
burn on the surface of the water. Several
small boats In the creek were enveloped and
burned. The sheck occasioned by the two ex-
plosions broke in the windows of all houses in
the neighborhocd. The building of the Will.
hamsburg gas light company on the opposite
side OF 18th street shook so violently that it
was tho0ght it would fall. This bailding was
also IN great danger from the spreading flames
and the heat was intense, while the noise of
the seething flames could be heard blocks away
Soon the fire had compete control of the river
eide, and was slowly eating its way toward
First street. Explosion followed explosion and
burning masses of material we're carried up
and away for long distance By the wind.
Thousands of spectators gathered in the heavy
rain and stood under dripping umbrellas
watching the great tconfisgration. A dividing
wall had been erected in the yard to prevent
the ire from going beyond III bat by three
O'Clock the great heat cracked this wall of
safety and IL came down with crash After
that the fire reigned supreme for time over
the entire premises. The wind then shifted
again and blew from the river, and fire boats
were enabled to operate against the flame.
But the hremen on the shore were now driven
away. Members of the Engine company No.
II had to retreat from their engine to escape
death. They rescued the engine later however.
All the buildings and tanks at the works ex-
cepting large baick one in which canning is
done were destroyed, besides loDg docks on the
creek. The loss will reach to between $500,G00
and 100000, and il is understood that Chas
