Oil City. Pa, June 5-Neyer before in the

there been such disaster, excitement and

This increased rapidly in quantity and ex-
tent until at last it covered almost entirely
the yellow muddy waters Of the creek. a
smell of Gas and oil was perceptbe and sew
eIal gentlemen back of me were discussing
the danger should the oil catch on fire.
Hardly were the words uttered when about
two hundred yards up the stream a mass
Of flame was seen to shoot heavenward.
Run yelled hundreds of voices and the
people turned like stampeded cattle and
started for the hills.

at ST. Mary's mission near here, yesterday
under the auspices of the Roman Catholic
priest. Two thousand and five hundred of

Christs crucifixon was represented under

In the last and most horrible scene wax

An Estimate ofthe Losses.

It IS impossible at this hour (midnigh)
90 give anything Ike an accurate report of
the loss of life and property, chaos
seigns throughout the devastated region
and a terrible contiagraton still RACES in
Oil City. 1t is safe to say that not less
than one hundred and fifty lives have been
sost. Nearly one hundred bodies have al
ready been recovered and many people are
missing. The number may far exceed one
hundred and fifty but this is regarded as
conservative estimate. The property dam
aged will reach into the millions. Titus
yille's loss is estimated at 81 100000; Oil
City, $1.y)0000; Cory, Penn, and Mead
vile, $4,000 and the surrounding coun-
sry probably million more.

THE CHAMPION THISHER.
He Turns Broom Bands Faster
Than Time.
Ard Is Out With Challenge to All Corners
in Five Hours Contest for Any
Amount.

Comes now another mechanical champion.
Henry ". Fink by name and Is short sum-
mers in age.
He is the boss broom-band twister of the
Pa cific Coast.
He twists with both hands and more
swifty than the gulls fly.
His best record is ffty-two bands In
minute and his average speed is forty-eight
double twists.
You may have noticed that the straws of
the modern broom are held in place about
in the center of the broom by band OF
galvanized iron.
Now the manufacture of that band is an
art in itself and is subdIyided into three
branches.
First the bands are cut Then two holes
are punched in each end. The last process
is the binding.
There are several broom-making shops
in San Francisco and each shop has its
champion broom band twister
But the champion of champions is Henry
". Fink, who works in the shop at 225
Market street.
He is only boy in years, but a bright
eyed. intelligent boy, whose hands have a
mysterious speed not given to the hands OF
ordinary mortals.
Wherever he is known his fame as the
champion is undisputed. But in some shops
he is not known. and here it is that doubts
are expressed as to the correctness Of his
record.
"Can he turn ifty-two bands in a single
minute?' is asked here and there.
II can and am ready TO prove it," answers
Henry.
And now he throws down the gauntlet to
all comers.
He will work five hours steady side by
side with any other broom band twister Oh
the coast, and will put up dollar for dollar.
according to the size Of The other fellows
pile.
Henry is an orphan, who lives with his
sister in the Western Addition. Though not
burdened with the good things of earth he
has friends and hackers who have promised
to stand by him for any sum if 8 match can
be arranged.
Here's the chance for the broom-band
benders.
