The city Of Lima, Ohio. was start
led by terrific clap of thunder, and
in few moments black clouds Of
smoke were seen rolling up from one
of the oil wells on Brotherton's land.
The fire at once communicated with
the tank, and in few minutes all was
on fire. A: the same time the gas in
the tank 400 yards west ignited. All
the machinery, tanks, and about 2,400
barrels Of oil, were consumed. The
derrick at the gas works oil well was
struck, consuming the entire structure
machinery and tanks aud l 200 barrels
of oil. This well is adjoining the gas
works which were at one time in great
danger, but the gas works and all the
machinery connected Herewith were
saved. The railroad bridge was on
fire severa! times, caused by the oil
running down, but was saved without
much damage. About that time high
columns Of black smoke were seen
southeast from the city and FIVE wells
are reported struck b. lightning and
destroyed, namely: HoyIe No. ,,
Shackney. McLain, Holmes and Bow
man. The rain has been falling in
torrents, and the thunder and light
ming exceed anything Of the kind
known here. The loss to oil men
thus far is estimated at $4,000.

distributed by old Santa Claus in person.
The trees at the Baptist Church We're
most tastefully arranged, and hung with
presents for the children. y beautiful

The soldiers here are of the regular
army of Chill. They are of all shades of
complexion, fairly drilled and equipped,
rather under sized, but vigorous and
hardy looking. A large part of them
saw active service in the late Gillian
Peruvian war, and wear decorations for
their services-to my mind rather too
generously bestowed, for it does not
seem likely that every fifth or sixth man
can have so personally distinguished
himself rs To deserve from one to three
