BLAZING OIL
Causes a Loss of Several Vessels at Point
Breeze, Near Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, October 30.-Shortly
after four o'clock this morning, and but
few minutes after the fireman at the pump
ing station at the Point Breeze Gas Works
had replenished his fires, the people in the
vicinity were startled by the sound OF an
explosion. A moment later the flames shot
from up the river and a pail of dense black
smoke began to gather over the wharveS
and shipping in the harbor. An alarm OF
fire was turned in, and Immediately the air
was filled with the screams of
the whistles in the neighborhood, the cries
of the sailors and the hOarse summons OF
the officers on board the vessels lying at
the whRrves. The bark Felix was sur
rounded by burning oil and badly dam
aged The bark Elena G. was not so for
tuuate. Before the tugs could get to her
the starboard rail took fire, and the flames
spread up the ropes to the rigging. The
fire was prevented from reaching her cargo
of case oil and saved her masts and spars,
but she will have to be newly rugged be-
fore she can sail for Genoa, for which port
she had cleared.
A lighter belonging to the Standard Oil
Company, which was loaded with case oil,
was burned TO the waters edge and sank,
her cargo floating from the deck and adding
to the spreading OF the flames. captain
Charles Houseman landed his barge at the
gas works wharf on Saturday evening for
the purpose of loading with foul lime, and
it, too, became victim TO the flames ana
was entirely destroyed. Five hundred
feet Of wharf between the pumping station
of the Atlantic refinery, and owned by the
city. and the Standard Oil Company, was
so badly damaged that it will have to be
almost entirely rebuilt. The boat house
of John L. Davis, Jr., adjoining the pump
ing station was entirely destroyed with
two cunning skiffs which were stored IN
the building. The fire was caused by the
explosion of oil which had leaked from the
large pipes which connect the Phlladel-
phia and the Atlantic oil refneries located
on each side of the gas works. The tug
boat Charles Z. Pugh also caught ire and
was completely destroyed.
The loss will aggregate Sl34 500, divided
as follows: Bark Felix $4,000; Bark
Flene G. $4,000; Standard Oil Company's
lighter &, 500; Captain Houfemann's barge
s., GOO; wharf property $4,000: barn and
house belonging to city $1,000; tug boat
Pugh $1,000.

To Take Place To-day Between ChoynsN
and Godfrey at Consy Island.
New YORK, October 30,-The most
important prize fight that has yet been
fought in the commodlous amphithea-
ter Of the Coney Island Athletic Club Is
the battle which is to take place Mon.
day night between Joe Choynski, OF
California, and George Godfrey, COL
ored, of Boston. Choynski has been
defeated three times by Jim Cor6ett
and twice by Joe Goddard, but they
we're all hard fought battles, and both
Corbett and Goddard speak Of Choynski
in the highest terms, and say
that he is not only good
stiff puncher, but one Of the gamest
men that ever entered the ring. God
frey, on the other hand, though the
oldest man in the prize ring to-day, Is
clever fighter and very free hard hit
ter. He has only met two defeats in
his long pugiistic career, one at the
hands of Peter Jackson and the other
with Jake Kilraip. who knocked him
out in the forty-fohrth round. Both
these battles were most desperately
fought, and Godfrey made his oppo-
nents realize the fact that they had no
easy task to perform.

At st. Johnsbury, VT, Destroys S150,00O
Worth OF Property.

ST. JoHNsBURY, VI, October 30.-
The worst fire that st. Johnsbury has
ever known broke out about z o'clock
this evening and ragged fiercely for two
hours before 1t was brought under con-
troll. In that time several business
blocks and large number OF stores
were destroyed.
The flames first appeared In the rear
of Louge Bros. & Smiths large dry
goods store on the east side OF Railroad
street. A gale was blowing from the
northeast and the fire swept on with re-
sistless force, licking up property to
the value OF at least Sl50,000.
The local fire department responded
quickly and did splendid work, but the
high wind and the oil stored In the
burning building did much TO assist the
progress of the flames. IL was not un-
I'll 9 o'clock that the flames were really
under control.
The other tenants had 10 fly for their
lives, The total loss will fully reach
and may exceed S150,000.
The list of business establishments
burned is as follows: Lougee Bros. &
Smiths dry goods store, Balch's photo
graphic studio, Williams meat market,
the Merchants National Bank, T. G.
Spencer's jewelry store, Bagley's drug
store, Sylyester's meat market, Lynch's
restaurant, a four-story brick structure,
three stories Of which were occupied as
tenements, Griswold, Pearl 81 Co.,
wholesale dealers in dour, grin and oil.
The origin OF the fire is not definitely
known, but II is thought TO have start
ed about the boiler in the basement OF
Lougee Bros. &c Smiths store. 1t Is
now thought certain that a man and
woman occupying rooms in the bnild-
ing where the fire started, were burned
to death

The situation at Homestead.

HOMESTEAD, PA, October 9O.-Sunday
has been uneventful except for the pres
ence of a large number of sight-seers who
were attracted by the reports OF renewed
trouble. There were no outbreaks during
the day although one non-uHion worker
was seriously beaten Saturday night. He
was Charles O'Neil. He came in upon a
late train from Pittsourg drunk, and dis
regarding the advice Of the depu-
ties, started down town. When in
front of the post Office two men
sprang out from little alley and knock
ing O'Neil down, kicked him in the face
and head and then disappeared. Deputy
sheriffs were within thirty yards OF the
spot, but before they could come up
O'Neirs assailants had escaped. He is
suffering from serious cut on the back Of
the head and one above his right eye. 1t
is stated that eXasperated beyond en-
durance over the assaults on fellow work
men, over 100 of the non-unionists met
Friday night and determined TO go into
the borough to avenge their disabled COM
panions. The coal and iron police had
great difficulty in restraining the men.

LONDON, October 3O.-Lord Dun
raven has given to the Associated
Press, in an interview, statement Of
his position in connection with the
challenge he recently sent to the
New York Yacht Club for race for
the America cup. Reing asked, "Are
the chances for race good" he replied,
81 cannot possibly tell. l hope SO,
but a definite opinion is impossible
until hear further from the New York
committee. Judging from what | have
seen in the American press l greatly
fear the chances are doubtful; but ex-
cuse my saying so; l do not attoch much
Importance in such cases to newspaper
gossip"
ITO what do you especially alludeP"
Lord Dunraven was asked.
"The New York Herald Of October 20
states that the New York Yacht Club
had voted that while the deed of trust
obliges the club having the custody
of the cup to accept the
conditions therein prescribed, If
50 el6CIeu Oy Tue Cndll6uBeI, dS ~ dloO
permits such club to accept any condi-
tions mutually agreed upon, this club
regards any further understandings or
agreements as unnecessary and will
make no agreement that in the
event of il becoming a chal-
lenger it will adopt such
terms in its Bchallenge. The meaning
of this is not clear TO me-" continued
Lord Dunraven. "If it means that the
club declines, should it become the
challenger, to bind itself absolutely TO
reserve the conditions Of my challenge
l quite agree and resolve never
to think of asking them so to
do. If it means that the club
through which l challenge, in the event
of my winning, must hold the cup un-
der the full terms of the new deed Of
gift, then we are no further forward
than we were in the case of Valkyrie,
and this projected race will also break
down"

WHAT IS GERMANY UP TO?
All Europe Excited and Uneasy Over the
Military Bill.


Military Bill.
PARIS, October 30.-The German mil
itary bill is the single thought OF all
Europe excepting France. Nobody un-
derstandS why Germany should increase
her affective force to such an extent as
to be able to throw next spring 100000
men in twenty-four hours upon her
eastern or western frontiers.
Numerous notes have been exchanged
between the different European Caoi'
nets. Mr.. Gladstone, at q Cabinet
council on the 25 instructed Lord Rose
berry TO get at the bottom of the real
intentions Of the German Government.
The sole object OF Germany is TO make
it for the deficiency in the Aus
tralian and Italian forces, the
financial condition OF those coun-
tries not permitting them to in
crease their armies, as members OF the
triple alliance. Germany is therefore
obliged 60 make the effort herself as 1t
Is impossible for her allies TO do any
thing. Nevertheless the tendency is
bad. The Bourses are weak and Ill at
ease. This is especially the case In
France.
In addition to the fears she has Of the
causes for the increase in the German
army, she has her own difficulties to
contend with.
The strike at Carmaux Is a proof OF
the weakness of the Government. The
country feels that it is badly governed
as before the Bolangist explosion. 1t
