81 LOUIS, Sept. 2e.-The big plant
Iot the Waters-Pierce Oil Co. in East
St Louis, located at the east end of
the Big -Four railway yards. was com
pIetely destroyed by fire Thursday
evening. The Eve large reservoirs
We're weu-filled with oil, and they
burned with a brilliancy which at
tracted thousands of people FROM both
sides of the river.
The fire was discovered at 4:35 D. IN.
and an alarm at once turned in from
the bridge box. Before Chief Purdy
ana his men could arrive the whole
plant was enveloped in flames, and the
fremen had to content themselves
with saving the cars which stood in
the upper end of the yard Yardmas-
ter Bridges sent two engines to phil
out the tank cars and as many of
the freight cars as he could
save. Immediately after the removal
OF the big tank cars, which
were filed with oil, one of the great
reservoirs of the plant exploded, and
the flames cut off all communication
with the yards from the east side. Mr..
Bridges had the big tanks far away,
and he again attempted to save the
cars on what is known as track No. 16.
Several of them that had caught fire
were coupled up by the switchmen and
they were getting several more when
a second tank became heated and,
sending up column of smoke, COM
pletely enveloped the whole train.
About ten loaded freight cars were
destroyed by the fire, and score OF
others seorched by the flames The
loss on the cars will probably amount
to $1,000. The contents of the des-
troyed cars consisted of merchandise
OF all kinds and household goods.
The loss on the contents will probably
reach 5000.
AT the offices of the Waters-Pierce
Oil Co. it was learned that there were
about 5 600 barrels of oil in the tanks
at the time Of the fire. This, of course,
is total loss. There were seven tanks
in all, five large and two smaller ones.
A barrel of oil contains about
so gallons. At that figure a
quarter of million gallons of oil
went upfn flames and smoke. Coal oil
was stored in some of the tanks and
gasoline in others. The average valve
of oil is So a barrel. 1t was stated that
the loss on the oil would be about $751;
900. The plant, which, besides the
tanks, consisted of a terminal and
switching svsfem was valued q a hout
$4,000. An employee in charge of the
office stated that the oil comDaDy's
total loss would probably reach S25..
900, and that the insurance would
about cover it.

The Miners Agree to Return TO Work at
the Old Scale, Provided They are Per-
Knitted to DO so.
LEADvILLE, Col, Sept. 2s-The
great miners strike, which has kept
Leadville in turmoil for nearly two
months, and which resulted in the
killing of five men last Monday morn
ing and the subsequent placing of the
city under martial law, is ended. A
meeting of the strikers was held Sat
urday night under the supervision of
the militia, and after a stormy session
it was finally decided that the men re-
turn to work at the old schedule
prices. providing the mine owners
would agree to give them their old
places. A committee of five was APP
pointed to wait on the mine owners,
and as it is generally believed that
outside 70 one or two mines that have
started up with non-union amen, the
old men will be taken back, no further
trouble is expected.
The strike was the outcome of the
organization of the miners by the,
Western Federation of Miners, and
almost every mine worker was in the
union when their demands were made
and refused.
The miners asked So day for all
classes of workmen, including surface
and underground men. This the own
ers declared they would not pay, and
nearly all of them closed down, sew
eral even allowing the pumps to stop.
The employers remained willing to
continue paying the wages which had
prevailed up to that time. Under that.
scale surface workers were paid only
$3.50. Practically the only change the
union demanded was the advance of
the wages of this class of men to 50.

Trouble was anticipated by the militia
tonight and every precaution was
