into a roaring flame, and the water,
land and air were all literally ablazc.
Men, women and children were knocked
prostratc by the shock and many never
arose. The multitude fled with screams
of anguish for the higher ground. In the
rush many of the weak were trampled
upon and badly injured. Some were hurt
hy horses; others ran and leaped into
the water and were drowned. The
flames in the air quickly burned out, but
they left huge volumes of black smoke
across the face OF the heavens beneath
which roarcd the fierce fire Of burning
oil upon the water.
Many submerged houses and shops
along the creek bottom were soon in
flames, and silent fire of blazing gas was
succeeded by the cracking flames OF burn
ing homes.
In many of these houses people were
confined. They could not escape for the
fire. Within sight of thousands who
heard their pitcous screams they burned
to death or lcapcd into the river and
there pcrshcd by both food and fire.
Such Il combination scene of dvstruc
ton by two terrible elements was seldom
witnessed upon the earth. 1t is marvel.
Gus that from this valley OF death any
are saved alive.
The story told by Harry McVragh,
member of rcscuing party which saved
dozen lives, surpasScs i'll horror many of
those related by persons who worked
only in bringing corpscs out OF the ruins,
and his words indicate that he believes
many of those saved alive would be bet
ter off with the dead, they are so horribly
burned. He, with Wade Ilullings, W.
Couch and Albert Smith, rowcd about
French crccl; in skih after the fire had
died OFF its surface and reaching a foot
bridge crossing at the head of Seneca
creek, they found eleven burned persons
clinging to anything they could catch
hold Of.
"Thcir condition was horrible,' said
McVcagh. 81 wish that | could close
my eyes and shut out the sight. Their
clothing was burned off their bodies;
their hair was singcd and some of them
had their eyes burned out; yet few OF
them, believe, will live. They chung pit
cously to us as we took them from the
bridge into our boats, and the cries they
sent up were the most pitiiul that ever
reached mans ears. There were seven
men and four women and the appear
ancc of both was particularly distract
ing. We cared for them the best we
could, hut God pity thcm." and McNcagl,
turned away as il to shut out the horrl.
bic sight he had witnessed.

TTusviLLE, June 6.-rhc Queen city
tannery OF l.. Bccbc & Sons has caught
fire and danger threatens the unburnt
district.
TlTUsvlLI.E, June 6.-The Pennsylvania
oil region was visited by an awful dis
astcr of flood and fire carly yesterday
morning. A cloud burst at Titusvillc,
and another fell at Oil City. Both cities
were inundated and the people fled to
the hills. Men, women and children took
to The housc-tops, praying to be rescued.
To add to the horror, several rchncrics
were struck by lightning and the prop.
erty not destroyed by water was con.
sumcd by fire.
In Titusvillc the water came up sud
denly from Oil creek and flooded the
whole fiat forming a lake nearly half Il
mile in width and about two-thirds of {
mile in length. short time later The
Acme coal refinery was struck by light
ming and fire added terror to the scenes
The flames spread rapidly and soon five
blocks were laid waste. A half dozen o
the largest OIL rcGncrics, among then
Rice and Robinson's, Schwartzs' and tn,
Acme, were burned.
Scores Of cheap dwelling houses in Tho
lower part of the city were destroyed
and scores Of lives lost, some having
been burned out, the majority pcrish'nl
by drowning. The scene presented b.
the rushing waters surging through tn
lower part of the city was one of uttc
dcsolation. When the morning broke
hundreds of anxious people looked out c
the windows or stood on the roofs u
| ho lscs awaiting helping hands an
trembling tor their fate.
Strong and brave men, by mcans {
boats and ropes, succeeded i'll rcachin
and saving those who had sure pos
ton till help arrived, or till the water
began to rcccdc.
To add to the horror of the scene raj
fell in torrents, fire broke out IN the +.
ilnerics at different points and the burn
ing oil sweeping down the current wa
communicated to other mnnutacturn
plants and establishments and dcstru'
ton increased one hundred fold.
When the Associated Press reporter CT
tered the main thoroughiare this morr
ing the first sight he witnessed was tina
J of four men carrying the dead body {
man on stretchcr. Within hilCc
minutes the sight became so conmo
that it ceased to occasion any surpris
AT the present writing it is estimate
that fully 100 persons arceither browne
or burned to death. The money los
will run from 81 5000 to $4,000, ,00C
An idea Of the amount of the tcrritor
covered by the flood and fire can be OF

miles of buildings were destroyed, TIL

DID HE TRY
TO COMMIT SUICIDE?

The train which leaves the Asheville
depot at 3:O5 was rounding the bend
Yesterday when a man rushed to the
platform and jumped off. His rash
act created great excitement among
the other passcngers-they all thought it
was a case of suicide. Ladies tainted,
men rushed to the platform expecting to
sec his mangled form upon the track,
but the fact was he had forgotten to put
his bottle Of "Buncombe Pills" in his
satchel and would not start on his jour
ney without them. Hetook great chances,
but he might have taken greater.

What have you concluded
to do about Painting the
House this fall? You have
been thinking about it con-
siderably this summer, and
while at times you think you
could hardly afford it, you
have probably come to the
c nclnsicn, in a Very sensible
way, that it was very poor
economy to put off painting
any longer. This. of course,
is true, as the, house goes to
pieces in short order without
being coated with a strictly
