BURNING OIL.

Destruction by Fire of the Waters-?feyto
Oil Depot in st. Louis, Together with
Storage Tanks, Tank Cars and SIEVE raj
Freight Cars-A Searching job for The
Eiremen-Tle Loss will Reach 2 I5o, 900.
ST. LOUIS. July Cat 1880 a. ~.
the Waters-Pierce Oil Co.'S plant, west
of Twelfth street, near Gratiot street,
and about eco feet southwest of the
Union depot, caught fire. Three Of the
company's large tanks filed with oil
exploded, setting fire to almost n dozen
Union Tank Line cars. the tanks of
which We're filled with oil. The flames
leaped several hundred feet high.
and great volumes of smoke, reseni-
bling thunder cloud, filled the air.
The entire fire department was called
out. and it was with great difficulty
that the hrcmen, aided By southerlv
breeze, saved the large carriage works
of the Haydocks on the south of the
blaze. and the gas works on the west
Quite number of freight cars were
burned. and several freight crews were
hurriedly rushed to the scene to clear
the yards of valuable freight
The intense heat made it exceeding
ly hard and dangerous work for the
their work, and while some poured water
on the oil others, further away from
the scene threw water on those near
the blaze to prevent them succumbing
to the heat.
The quantity of oil stored in the
plant was so vast that the flames could
not destroy it fast enough. Mingling
with the water that was being poured
on the fire it began descending all
ablaze into the Mill Creek valley,
threatening to burn up everything
in its path. To protect railroad prop
erty every railroad man in the
vicinity was pressed into SER
vice by the railroads and given
shovel and pick and was set digging
deep trench and backing them with
embankments, through which the oil
and water was conducted to the sewers.
AS it was. several cars caught fire and
hundreds of feet of tracks were de-
strored.
Directly east of the burning structure
were about dozen large tanks, every
one filled with gasoline or naphtha
which, up to two hours after the fire
commenced, were, owing to the direc-
ton of the wind still intact, and which
formed a barrier protecting the nearest
structures of the plant of the st. Louis
Bagging Co.
To save that plant Chief Lindsay had
about ten streams of water directed
against the tanks to keep them cool.
Owing to the fact that they had formed
a barrier to shut off the heat the fire.
men were able to approach them, and
did effective work. So great was the
danger that the fremen who poured
water on them We're chosen from vel
unteer 100, every one of whom WIS
willing to risk his life AS it was the
bagging plant was badly damaged by
heat and water.
The loss viii aggregate at least $780,
600, as the entire plant is in ruins, and
a large number of the company's wag-
ons were in the yard at the time.
Several firemen are reported injured |
or FRUSTRATED by the intense heat.
