ANOTHER OIL-sTrLL FIRE.
NeWtovn Creek Is Again the Scene am
 Lamaa Q,aounor ia a Victim.

Nevtovyn Creek Is Again the Scene and
 James O'eOnnOr Is a Victim.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-Another oil fire, somewhat similar to that which caused the death of two men last week, broke out this morning at 5:30 o'clock at the Brooklyn oil works on Newtown Creek, close to the scene of last weeks fire.
 The fearful glare in the early morning sky created much consternation and for time it was believed that the entire district would be swept away.
 The fire was caused by the explosion of one of the stills and in few moments the flames had gained an immense headway. The fire department was early at the scene, and the men worked like Trojans to subdue the fire, but their efforts were unavailing and all they could do was to bend their energies to save adjoining property and this they suo- ceeded in accomplishing after stubborn, protrsoted fight.
 There was one human victim to the fire fend's greed in the person of James O'Connor of 275 Crescent street, who was caught in the flames and terribly burned about the head and shoulders. He was attended by Dr. W. J. Burnett of Hunters Point and subsequent | ly was taken to his home. It is feared that | he is fatally burned.

OPENING OF A GREAT ROAD.
The Inauguration Of the Mexican N
 ttonal 10 Take Place on October l 5

The Inauguration of the Mexican Ma
 GtOnal 10 Take Place on October I5.
 NEW YORK, Got. 10.-October 15 will wit-
 ness the opening of the great Mexican Na-
 tonal railway, which will give the public the
 shortest route from the United States to the
 City of Mexico, through the medium of the San Antonio and Aransas Pass road. The latter road, which is over 460 miles long, and passes through the richest portion of Texas, from Galveston to Laredo, is the grandest outlet of the Mexican National, and furnish
 es for shippers the shortest all rail route from any part of the United States, as well as a water soute from Galveston. The route to Mexico, via the Aransas Pass road, is 300 miles shorter than by the way of Eagle Pass, and 600 miles shorter than by the way of Fl Paso. This fact alone should be of vast i'm portance to shippers. The custom house ar rangements at the Mexican line are of the most perfect kind, and no unnecessary delay is made in the quick interchange of mer- chandise.
 The opening of tae Mexican National rail- way on October 15 will mark a red-letter day in the history of the southwestern railroads, and the event has it's greatest significance in
 the fact that the distance between here and and Mexico is reduced several hundred miles
 through the fine connection gained from the
 San Antonio and Aranzas Pass.

A HORRIBLE COLLISION.

Smashup Of An Excursion Train On the Lehigh Valley Road-Sc0res. of People Killed - No Details Net Known.
 WnKEsBARRE, Oct. 10.-The accident on the Lehigh Valley road at Mud Run, near Penn Haven, is, beyond all question, the most awful disaster that ever happened in this portion of the State. Though details cannot be learned, there is no doubt that the number of killed will reach nearly eighty and the injured double that number. The trains were excursions trains, returning from the celebration at Haleton the annual pa- rade of the Catholic temperance societies of the Scranton diocese. Thousands of people went down to Hazleton from the towns of LuzeIe and Lackawanna counties. Seven trains with the cars filled to the doors passed through White Haven this morning, taking the old route by Penn Haven. On the re- turn the first train left Hazlston about 5 o'clock, the others following as rapidly as deemed safe. The three sections came through without accident, the diaster hap- pening to the fourth and fifth sections. For some reason not explained the fourth section was standing on the track near the little sta- tion of Mud Run,, i've miles be-
  ton dashed around the. curve close behind and crashed into it. The cars were smashed and broken and hurled of the track. The road lies beside the Le- high river, a steep embankment sixty feet high running down to the water. Several of The cars rolled down this and others were crushed against the cutting on the other side. Up to 12:30 a. m. no direct information has been established with the scene of the disas- ter and the railroad officials here if they know anything absolutely refuse to give any infor- nation.
 Ia. m.-Reports are still very conflicting It is known, however, from despatches re- ceived at the depot that the accident is quite as bad as at first reported, and that at 1eas 30 or more ire killed. Nothing of6ciel can b. obtained at the compAny's office. One trair has been started from the wreck and it is ex pected to arrived here about 4 o'clock thii morning.
