works broke out at $50 P. M, and before it
was finally extinguished it set fire to the mate
rial in the lumber yard. This, however, was
not until 10 o'clock.

to the place. Ha sent in an alarm from box 70.
Tho flames spread rapidly to all parts of the
warehouse, being more or less saturated with
oil. Two additional alarms were sent in, and

out to Fifty-fourth street, q block away This
explosion caused the agitator to ignite, which
contained 216 barrels of oil. On siding of the
Allegheny Valley Railroad running into the
place there were 25 tank cars some of which
we're filled and seven of which exploded. The
fire was confined to the oil works, but the oil in
and about the place had to burn itself ont. The
heat from the vast furnaces set fire to the lum-
ber piled in George s. Lacy's yard, immedi-
ately adjoining the works. Before it could be

An Interview With Secretary watchorn.
Robert Watcho-n. eX-Secretary of the
United Miners Organization. arrived from
Columbus on his way to Harrisburg a few
minutes prior to the departure of the reSi-
meut. He was introduced by Colonel McKib-
ben to General Wiley, and had short talk
with him regarding the business on hand. The
General desired to know from MIR. Watchorn,
who is generally recognized as a verv coDserva-
tive as well very able leader, what
the general sentiment of the labor leaders was
in respect to the radical position taken by the
strikers. Mr.. WatChorn was reticent not
being thoroughly informed regarding the
po-ition. subsequently, Mr. Watchorn de-
cided at once TO remain over, and later, held a
conference with Z. Ii. Penna. of the miners
organization, and W. =. Wilson, 4 member of
the STATE Mining Commission, at the Home
Hotel
Nj. Watchorn was asked for an expression
of opinion regarding matters as they now stood
in the region: whether he indorsed the action
of the deputies in firing on the strikers. and
approved OF calling out the military to suppress
the disturbances.
~ can offer no opinion on the matters" was
his reply, until have heard the other side of
the story. One story is good until another is
told. As far as can at present judge, the kill
ing OF the men was an unprovoked act. / am
Inclined "a believe that they would not have
puT themselves in the position they did without
much ITnYncation, and think they must have
been given this provocatiOn. 1t is a very un-
happv and 4 very deplorable affair. and it is
unfortunate. for every reason, it shOuld have
occurred. / think if l had been there-and l
say il with all modesty-that the conflict would
have been avoided"
Mr. Watchorn would not say whether he
considered the calling out of the military as
justifiable. He said he would probably go into
the re--lcu this morning. and do what he could
toward restoring harmony.
