the rate of 100000 day, according
to the estimate of President Lloyd, of
the Atlantic Refining company. Fire
men and officials are powerless. The
fire must literally burn itself out.
The coopcrage shop has been swept
away and in it's destruction 40 men
narrowly escaped death. The tanks of
benzine are going. Earthworks have
been thrown up to keep The Schuylkill
river from becoming flooded with
blazing oil. The firemen say they are
working in the dark. There is danger
all around them, they say, and they
do not know where the danger spots
are. The loss will not be less than
100000 1t is believed that the five
