OIL CITY BEFORE THE FIRE.

The food loosed by the bursting dam
rushed down Oil Creek Valley for eigh-
teen miles, overturning oil tanks on it's
way. The oil foated on top of the water.
At Oil City the people came out to the
banks Of the stream to witness the food,
but they had hardly begun to do SO when
an explosion was heard up the stream.
This was rapidly followed by two others,
and quick as flash of lightning the
creek for two miles was filled with an
awful mass of roaring flames and pillows
of smoke that rolled high above the creek
and river hills.
Oil City is bounded on all sides by steep
hills. Oil Creek comes down the valley
from the north, and just before its con-
fuence here with the Allegheny is crossed
by bridge to that part of the city en-
braced in the Third ward, which lies
along the west bank of the creek and the
north bank of the river. Almost all that
portion OF the town was on fire within
three minutes from the time of the ex-
plosion. Our illustration gives view Of
that portion of Oil City that was destroy
ed in the conflagration.

his four Dared crew lost to the Centen-
mails, of Detroit. Franks ambition at
that time was to have four cared crew
ready to row the Hillsdale on their return

make match, and few days later
Holmes and the other members of the
crew were disqualified by the National
Association. Since that time, although
practically retired, he has taken more or
less interest in rowing and assisting the
members of his club, he, however, feels
satisfied that his good days have passed.

THE OIL REGION DISASTER.

Fire Floats Down ON the Flood and
Brings Destruction.
The bursting Of dam in Titusville, Pa,
brings to mind the terrible Johnstown
disaster of three years ago. The loss of
life was far greater at Johnstown, but in
its combination of the terrors of flood
and fire, simultaneously assailing and en-
wrapping the doomed towns, the later
disaster is more startling to the imagina-
ton than was its terrible predecessor.
At Titusville and Oil City the list of the
dead, although very large, is measured
not by thousands, but by hundreds, but
the scene of destruction and death was
more fearful in the unearthly circum-
stance of the fire riding upon the food,
and spreading second devastation over
the track of the first. The earth and the
air were alike held by the emissaries of
death, and there was no escape for the
imprisoned victims in any direction.

AN oLD-TlME CHAMPION.
He Holds the Record for the Fastest
Three Miles Ever Rowed.

He Holds the Record for the Fastest
Three Miles Ever Rowed.
Frank e. Holmes, who, in his prime.
was without peer in the ranks of anna
teur scullers in this country, and who
still holds the record for three miles, was
born in Tiskilna, ILL.,, in 1852. The same
year his parents came East, and Frank
has ever since resided at Pawtucket, r. /.
He stands 5ft. 81 in. in height, and in con-
dition weighs 145 lbs. He was never in
terested in rowing till 1874, when he took
part in six cared race and was beaten.
1t was at regatta given by the Narra-
gansett Boat Club of Providence, on the
Seekonk River, July 4, 1874. The crew
was not discouraged, but organized club,
built small boat house, and on June rs,
1875, they rowed three mile challenge
race with Freshman crew of the Brown
University for set of sweeps. Tt was
very exciting for mile and half, when
Holmes crew went ahead, winning hand
lily. On July "a, Frank again stroked the
crew to victory, defeating the Narragan-
Eett four in a three mile challenge race
for six silver goblets, valued at $150.
He liked sculling SO well that he prac-
ticed all of that fall preparing for the next
season. On May 30, 1878, he rowed his
first scullers' race away from home, at
Silver Lake, Plympton, Mass. He was at
the lake four days before the race, and
there met M. F. Davis, John A. Kennedy
and Fred Plaisted, who gave him many
excellent points, which proved valuable
to him afterwards. There was seven or
eight starters, including Houghton and
Goddard, considered the fastest amateurs
in New England. The distance was two
miles, with turn, and Holmes had them
rowed out in three quarters OF mile.
Time, IAN. lbs. On July 4, at Albany, N.
Y, he met the fastest amateurs in the
country, R. W. Rathborne, of the New
York Athletic Club; George, Gaisel,
Thompson and Davy. When Gaisel found
Rathborne there he ould not start, and
advised Holmes to keep out. Holmes de-
clined, and made up his mind to beat
Rathborne on the start, if he could. He
says he never rowed so fast for one hum
dred strokes before or since, but the pace
was too hot for the favorite, and Holmes
went on and won with ease.

No Need OF DYING yorrv.

Bismarck declares that he owes his
rugged old age to the practice OF bath
ing regularly and freely in cold water.
Gladstone ascribes his longevity to
the simplicity and regularity Of his
habits. Tennyson believes that his hav-
ing celebrated his.eighty- first birthday is
due to his not having worried or fretted
over the small affairs of life. Won Moltke
thought his ripe old age was owing to
temperance in all the affairs of lie, and
plenty OF exercise in the open air. De
Lesseps thinks he owes his advanced age
to like causes. Taking all these life Civ
ing agencies together, and considering
how easy they are of attainment, there
doesn't seem to beany good and sufficient
reason why we should die young.

JUSTICE HARLAN. SENATOR MORGAN.
There is no higher Democratic author
ity on the subject of international law and
no more honorable and fair minded man
in public and private life than Senator
Morgan. He is lawyer by profession,
and has been member of the Senate for
fifteen years, during that time rendering
long service as member of the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations. Although
one OF the much talked-of Confederate
Brigadiers of congress, Senator Morgan
knows no politics when an international
or nom partisan subject is before the SEN
ate for discussion.
Justice Harlan was selected for much
the same reasons as applied in the case of
Senator Morgan. He is lawyer who has
made a speciality OF international law.
Justice Harlan has been hard worker
during all the years that he has been on
the Supreme Court bench, and, being
without any income whatever, except his
annual salary, has been unable to enjoy
the benefits of travel as he would like to
do.

THE ST. MARIA's HOME.
The $4,000 Fund Raised and a
New Home to be Built.

The second annual meeting and cleo
ton of officers of the st. Maria Home was
held yesterday afternoon at the Home on
Governor street, and the old board Of OFF,
GERS was reelected as follows: President,
Mrs. Charles O'Leary; -yice-presidents,
Mrs. James Murphy OF Pawtucket ana
Mrs. John Baggott; secretary, Miss
Sarah +. Campbell; treasurer, Mrs. Jo-
seph Banigan; auditor. Joseph Banigan;:
There are twenty-three trustees and
eighty-two members OF the society. :.
The secretary's report was received and
showed that the Home had been eminent
ly successful for the past year, and that
several young women had been refused
adinittance for want of room, even though
part of an adjoining house had been
rented and and furnished in connection
wifi the Homie. There are about thirty
girls at present in the Home.
The treasurers report showed that the
permanent fund of Sl5, 900 had been raised
as required by Mr.. Banigan for a guaran-
tee, and a balance of several hundred hun
dred dollars In the treasury.
Mr.. Banigan addressed the society, say
ing that he was very much pleased at the
energy displayed in raising the $4,000 he
required, but that in view of the lateness
of the season and other circumstances he
would wait another year before he began
to build the Home he had promised. He
desired further assurance that the Home
could be maintained without touching
that fund or the interest accruing there
from.
The president, Mrs. O'Leary,. made a
short address in which she said, There
seems to DO little misapprehension
abroad regarding this home. This insti-
tuition was projected by its founders in a
broad public spirit. 1t is not a charitable
institution or a retreat 1t is n place
where girls, compelled to work, either at
present or in the past, can find
the comforts of home with
all the advantages of cheerful
Surroundings and good company pay for
them out of their earnings, so that they
can feel that sense of independence which
is necessary to the self-respecting woman.
Out of the interest Of that $l5, 600 we ex-
pcct to support a few deserving girls, who
either from illness or misfortune are COM
pelled to accept this charity" The presi-
dent took this occasion to thank the men,
bers of the society, the public and all who
had given assistance and encouragement
to the work.
