ALEXANDRIA In TERROR
ALARMING SIGHT WHEN OIL TANKS

Severe Storm Follows the Fatal Hot

the Indiana Oil Field.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
ALEXANDRIA. Ind, July 10-About 3
o'clock this afternoon the two oil tanks on
the property of A. c. Carver, Immediately
opposite the Big Four depot, We're struck
by lightning and developed into an oil fire
of immense proportions. binding storm
was in progress at the time, which to-
gether with the heavy, black smoke from
the tanks hanging over the city, caused
great alarm. The storm was so fierce that
1t prevented many, except the fire depart
ment, from ascertaining the cause of the
darkness. About four hundred gallons of
oil were in the two tanks, which ran down
the hill which the tanks are situated
and spread over the little valley below.
1t was feared that a number of dwellings
located at the foot of the hill would be
destroyed we'll as two other oil wells
located in the bottoms, about $50 yards
distant, but the wind shifting directly east
carried the burning oil between these
structures. The derrick had been removed
and the timber piled near the tanks was
wholly destroyed. The we'll was the prop
erty of Black & Harmon.
After great difficulty the gas was finally
shut off at the well and the flames sub
dued. The tanks will be rebuilt immediate
ly, and as a precaution against re-
currence of a similar danger a large trench
will be thrown up to prevent the danger
rtory. The loss will amount to probably
not more than 500

THE KHEDIvE AND rHAsos.
How an Ambitious Little Raid Came
to an AbOrtive End.
London Times.


There is an instructive as well as a COM
zeal side to the KhedVeS abortive little
raid on the Island of Thasos That island
is part of the Kavalla property constituted
by Mahomed Ali into a Wakf or religious
trust, of which the revenues We're appro-
priated mainly, though not entirely, for the
benefit of families belonging to the island.
The late Hahn Pacha was administrator
to the wakf, and on his death the Khedive
contrived to secure TO himself the admin
istration of the trust His Highness then
entered into relations with a Greek here
named Psiachi, who appears to have i'm
bued him with the idea that large profits
were to be made out of the exploitation
of the island. The Sultan, however, Is
stated to have demurred to the khediVe' $
pretensions and to have even sent z small
force to ThasOS to prevent PSlacht pro-
posed operations. Some time ago the Khe-
dives agent on the island reported that the
Turkish soldiers had been withdrawn, and
ined that he could safely take advantage
of the Sultan's graver preoccupation to
create a fat accompli in support of his
pretensions. But as Psiachis scheme in
VoVed an extensive cutting down of forest
timber, which the islanders would have
resisted, and been legally entitled TO resist,
it was necessary to smuggle over an armed
force capable of overcoming local resist
ance. For this purpose a steamship was
chartered from Hadji Daoud, a well-known
Syrian ship owner of Smyrna, upon which
about one hundred men Of the Khedive's
own bodyguard and Bashl-BazoukS were
embarked, with a supply of rifles and am
munition.
AS the Egyptian authorities remained en-
tirely ignorant of the affair, it is believed
that the embarkation must have taken
place at Montaza, just beyond Ramleh,
where the Khedive has a large palace and
park and has also constructed a small har-
Dor for his own use. Although the Khediye
now finds himself, anyhow, in very awk-
ward predicament, as, besides having to
appease the Sultan's outraged feelings, he
will also have to compensate the owners
of the steamship. which was captured by
the Greeks as a lawful prize of war, and to
satisfy the demands of Psiachi, who also
intends to claim heavy damages, it is prob
ably just as well for his Highness that the
more serious complications which would
have ensued had this foolish flibustering
If this is a sample of the uses to which
the Khedive would apply his 'independ-
ence,'' were he relieved from foreign con-
troll instead Of being relaxed, will be ex-
ercised so as to render it impossible for
him to steal another march upon his prop
er advisers.

the citizen who could get the medal for
laZiness in any competition, "he might just

OF mingled grief and surprise. After a
thoughtful pause she said, quietly:
William, | wish you would step out here

too tired to move so far"
He languidly obeyed, and, as he stood on
the threshold, inquired:

Didn't Like the InstaIlment Plan.


OF course, there has been a lot of talk
about Mrs. Oppenhem's flower ball"
which formed the special entertainment of
last week. Some people say it was enor-
mously successful and should be repeated
others say 1t was CHASTITY failure and
should never have been done. BY sitting
these two very conflicting opinions / have
arrived at the conclusion that it could have
been good deal better than it was Every
body is, however Unanimously down"
upon the American hostess for having in
troduced q sort of 'shipboard" method of
treating her guests. There were more peo-
pie present than could be accommodated
all at once in the supper rooms and so
when they were full with the first lot the
doors were shut and bolted in the faces OF
another crowd, who likewise felt hungry
This was, of course, eminently sensible
method of dealing with an overcrowded
eating place. but it CALLED the smart peO-
pie present terribly to be divided off into
gangs" fC feeding. Another terrible
thing that happened at Mrs. Oppenheirn' &
was the accident to the Duchess of Man
chester, who broke her ankle. I am told
that she had left the house and was step-
ping into her carriage when her foot slipped
on the edge of the carpet spread along the
pavement, and she fell, twisting and break
ing one ankle under her, while she had a
narrow escape from her horses starting and
running over the other. Her dress which
was a lovely one, all orchids and white
shock to her nervous system has been ter
rible.
Although the ball was called fancy" If
was really not expected that any one
should go in bizarre costume. A few ladies.
however. did not evidently understand this
and appeared gowned after a fashion that
was sad TO see. Their frOcks were nearly
up TO their knees, and they were burdened
with a curious couture, looking like a re-
Versed flower pot with flowers and foliage
hanging doWnwards over the head Merci-
fully, beyond the fact that they were there
and looked ridiculous their names have
not yet been made public.
