FIVE DEAD IN FLAMES
PHILADELPHIA FIRE MUST BURN
ITSELF OUT
Plant of Atlantic Oil Refinery Is
Still burning FierceIy, and
the Fire Department
Is POwerIess.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug 2O-The fire
which began yesterday afternoon at the
works of the Atlantic Refining company,
at Point Breeze, in the southwestern sec
tion of the city, is still burning fiercely
tonight, and Chief Baxter, of the city fire
department, has given up hope of saving
any of the company's property. The one
hope of the company's officials and the
firemen was in their ability to pump the
oil from the tanks not yet reached by
the flames into reserve tanks in an iso-
lated section of the yard An explosion
late this afternoon carried away the
pumping machinery, and nothing4emains
now apparently but to permit the confla
grafton to burn until all the oil is con
sumed.
1t is believed tonight that the five lives
lost in the explosion of the big gasoline
, tank last night completes the list of IA
talities. The dead:
JOHN MCULLON. Engine Company 49,
JAMES EALLS, Engine Company 40.
JOHN DAUGHERTY, Engine Company
No 9.
FRANK DAVIS Truck Company No. 9.
ALEXANDER TIMMERS, an employe
of the Atlantic Refining company.
In the explosion this afternoon fifteen
persons were injured seriously enough to
be taken to the hospitals, and about
1orty others were treated on the scene
by the ambulance surgeons.
Briefly the story of the fire may be
thus summarized:
All of those reported as missing after
the explosion last night are accounted
for. The roll of injured mounts up to
more than 100. Many of these are tri~
vial cases, not taken to hospitals. A
few are serious and may prove fatal
The fire is still raging. Firemen and
officials are powerless. The fire must
literally burn itself out. The cooperage
shop has been swept away and in it's de-
struction forty men narrowly escaped
death.
The tanks of benzine are going. Earth
works have been thrown up to keep the
Schuylkill from being flooded with blaz-
ing oil. The firemen say that 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 can only be estimated. Officials of
ment as to the quantity of OIL benzine
and naphtha contained in the various
tanks already destroyed and those that
cannot escape destruction Insurance
men and firemen early today said the
loss could not be less than $780, 900, but
since then great quantities of refined pc
troleum and benZine have been consumed.
and several tanks have been rendered
useless by the flames.

HOT Time IN THE COURT
CHARGES OF ATTEMPTED BRIB-
ERY MET BY COUNTER-CHARGE.

TOLEDO, Ohio, Aug 2O-Tnere were
some sensational Developments todav In
the case in which State Pure Food Com
missioner Blackburn recently secured a
verdict of guilty against A. D. White. a
local grocer, charged with selling a
glazed coffee manufactured by the Ar
buckles. The attorneys for the Arbucl1les
went before Judge Meek, in the CITY
court, before whom the case was tried.
and requested him to make the docket
entry so as to get the case into the high
er courts. Judge Meek declined to do so
until Walter Brown, the attorney for the
state, was present
A heated argument ensued, in which the
attorney for the Arbuckles charged thar
Walter Brown, the attorney for the state.
ruled the judge. Then the latter sprung
sensation by charging that the at,
torneys for the Arbuckles had sent three
men to him offering $1,000 to let them
have the jury, and when ne refused to
do so that they sent emissaries with the
ofter of $1,000 to take the case from tbs
jUry.
In answer to this charge, Mr.. Clarence
Brown, one of the attorneys for the Ar
buckles. gave the Associated Press the
following statement:
l will say that an offer was made to
us to secure a verdict for defendant in
the coffee case for a consideration and
the price was named. We don't say it
was done by Meeks authority, for we
don't know. But the offer was made ana
the price was named at which we could
obtain verdict, but we did not care to
get one that way
The case will probably be investigated
1t is charged that the Woolsons are back
of the states prosecution of this case.
The court made the entry after man
damus proceedings had been threatened.

WRECK OF ISLANDER
THE DOOMED STEAMER SANK
SO QUICKLY
SAILORS WERE TO BLAME
Opened Door TO Forward COnlpart-
ment to Rescue StOwavay,
and Water Poured Into
the Hold.

SEATTLE, Wash. Aug, 20-J. 4. Sny-
der, resident of Juneau arrived on the
steamer Farrallon today from Juneau
Mr.. Snyder was on the lost Islander and
was in the water three hours clinging to
a raft. He was finally picked up uncon-
scious. He left the boat just half a
minute after the captain jumped over
board, and they both held on to the
same raft for fully half an hour, and in
conversation the captain said he could
not understand why the boat went down
so quickly.
The captain finally said: Boys, I can
not stand it any longer" and casting his
life preserVer away at once sank.
At the inquest held at Juneau, which
Mr.. Snyder attended, evidence developed
which may tend to excuse the captain
for not Bleaching the steamer at once.
Mr.. Snyder said:
''The pilot testified that he was on the
bridge and that as soon as she struck
he told the captain he was going to
beach her, but the captain said: No.
there is a better place about three miles
from here and she will easily float that
'"The testimony showed that there was
stowaway in the forward watertight
compartment. When the vessel struck
the iceberg the waters rushed in on him
and his cries, Immediately under the sal
lors' quarters, caused them thoughtlessly
to rush down and open the compart-
ment, which allowed the sea to come roll
ing into the hold, carrying the body Of
the stowaway and a sailor with it. This
was done without the captains knoWl-
edge, and I think excused him for think
ing the vessel would float several hours.
1t would have done this had the water
tight compartment not been opened and
the captain could have beached her i'll a
small bay about three miles away 1t
was established that if the pilot had car
ried out his intention he could have got
ten her on the beach without the loss of
any lives except that of the stowaway.'
THE NUMBER DROWNED.
VICTORIA. B. c., Aug. 2O.-Latest re-
ports received of the disaster to the
steamer Islander place the loss of life
at forty-two. Purser Bishop has gone
to Skagway to get a full list of those
who took passage on the steamer, and
until he arrives on the steamer Hating,
in few days, nothing more can be
given. Pilot LIE Blanc and all the officers
deny the report that the pilot and cap
tain were intoxicated and asserted the
Islander was well supplied with life
