OIL CREEK VICTIMS.
The Loss of Life by the Terrible
Disaster Growing.


or These Two Hundred Were Lost
at Oil City, Where the Bodies Re
covered Arc Terribly Burncd-How
William Stewart, a Heroic Life
Saver, Met Death.
On CITY, Pa, June u Eighteen
miles of death and desolation is the
story in brief Of the awful catastrophe
which has decimatcd the borders Of Oil
creek from Titusville to this point. On
both sides Of the creek flood and fire
have left ruin and wreck, and it will
take days before the record Of death
and destruction can be completed
This is the most awful disaster which
has ever come to this vicinity, and has
no rival in the United States except the
Johnstown food A raging torrent,
tank of oil undermined and toppled into
the flood, coal dropped from loco.
motive passing over the bridge in the
city, series of explosions .along the
surface of the creek, and houses, men,
women and children were instantly
wrapped i'll flames.
Thus far seventy bodies have been
found, of which forty have been identi-
fed They are lying in the City hall and
temporary morgue on the south side.
The scene is almost too much for endur-
ance. Burned out Of all seinblance to
human beings, i'll positions showing the
terrible agony before death came, are a
few of the victims. Estimates vary, but
it is safe to say the loss in this city alone
will reach 200 Many have been swept
away ana will never be found, though
when the food subsidies it will leave
scores of bodies. AT one point alone ten
are known to have given in to the burn
ing food. None Of them have been found.
The financial loss to this place is hard
to estimate at present, but it will be over
$i,000, 600.
These are the causes and effects of the
disaster so far as this place is concerned
The inmates of the houses had but to
choose how to die, either drown or be
burned TO death. There was no escape,
aud many chose the easier death and
jumped into the water, but even there
the fire found them, and every body so
fan recovered shows that fire helped the
work Of destruction.
One Of the heroes who gave his life
for that of others was William l.. Stew
art, of Siverlyville, small village
about mile up Oil creek. When the
disaster occurred Stewart ran to his
home in Siverlyville and dragged a boat
tothe waters edge, He braved the.death
that moved on the waters and was one
OF those who helped to save the West
side victims For an hour he helped to
drag people out Of the houses on the
bank of Oil creek and bore them in his
beat to safety. A great wave of naph-
tlIa approached over Stewards head,
house cracked, and in an instant he was
engulfed in mass of mortar, oil and
fame. From below the river stretched
out a hundred tongues; from above
came shower OF timbprs and plaster.
Stewart was killed outright. He died at
his post almost in the very act of
snatching lives from the very elements,
His body was fearfully battered and
burned. He leaves a wife and two chill

TITUsvIALE's Loss.


A Hundred Lives and Two Millions
in Property Wiped out.
TITusvlII.E, Pa, June AT the pres
ent writing it is estimated that fully 100
persons have been either drowned or
burned to death III Sundays food and
fire The money loss will run from
81 800, 600 To 5000, 600. An idea of the
amount of territory covered by the dis.
aster can be obtained when it is stated
that over two miles were destroyed.
This includes railroads, factories, refln-
cries, private dwellings, etc.
George Stephens, Il prominent mer-
chant Eere, says; "The fire was caused
by spark from passing train on the
Western New York and Pennsylvania
railroad, which ignited the oil III tank
alongside the line. The oil set fire to
every building with which it came in
contact Mechanic street was known
as residence street for the poorer
classes, and WAS simply swept out OF ey
istcnee Not IL vestige of dwelling on
that street remains standing. There is
where the greatest loss OF life occurred.
The fire and fame combined were so
swift in their destruction that whole
families were swept away before they
realized that there was the remotest
danger"
Edgar Hule, a lumber merchant, when
asked about the calamity said: Il no
ticed Il dark cloud in the north ON Sat-
urday Afternoon, and while standing
watching it saw it split in two, the
larger portion seeming TO go up the
river. The rain began falling and
short while afterwards Oil creek began
rising. did not think anything par
ticnlarly about it as it began to recetle
about II o'cloek that night. 1t must
have been about that time that the dam
at Ricevi!le gave way. The creek rose
with terrible rapidity, aud when this
volume of water was accentnated by the
addition of another large volume from
the dam at Spartanshnrg, the operator,
j. f. Mead, stood at his post and worked
at his instruments with the water three
feet deep in the office and the building
surrounded by debris and the roaring
flood.
