STILL FIGHTING FIRE.
Another Explosion at the Bayonne
Works of the Standard
Oil Company.
3:21 D. m.

New York, July 6.-The fire at the
Standard Oil company's works at Con-
stable Hook, Bayonne, n. J., was still
burning this morning The fire depart
ment of Bayonne and the fre-fghting
force of the Standard Oil company kept
up their struggle against the flames dur
ing the night. but their efforts as far as
saving burning property, was of little
avail. About 3:15 this morning another
tank exploded with a loud roar and the
naphtha which it contained spread in all
directions
None of the injured was in a serious
condition today.
Many of the fire fighters who had
worked continuously for twenty-four
hours were compelled to quit today from
exhaustion and exposure to the fierce
heat. The Standard Oil company is
bringing new recruits from various points
to add to the fire brigade with hope
of saving the main portion Of the old
works. Should these go up in flames,
the company's plant at Bayonne will be
wiped out of existence, and the loss
would be several million dollars greater
than at present.
