CHASED BY FLOOD OF FIRE.
Residents Barely Escape with Their Lives.

EleVeE
New York. March Pa river of
flaming oil swept down upon the little
village of Glen Gardner. n. j.. while
its inhabitants were asleep this morn
ing and reduced IL buildings. stores
and residence to ashes. The confiagra
tion was extraordinary in character
and its origin. The village is in Il
valley along the line of the Jersey
Central road. An immense freight
train was coming east at 6:30 IL. m. 1t
was composed of string of coal cars
and IS tank cars.
A few miles west of the village.
while coming down the incline around
the mouutnin, the train parted. At
Glen Gardner the second section
smashed into the first. The forward
car, one of the oil tanks, of the run
away section was hurled sldewisc
across the tracks. and the oil tanH
cars behind 1t were piled Up on top OF
IT in every way.
The first crash caused the oil in one
of the tanks to explode and ignite and
the terrific heat caused the other cars
10 explode, one after the other The
incline running from the depot down
to the main street acted as a siuice for
the burning oil. and it poured into the
chief thoroughfare of the village, set
ting fire to everything 1t touched.
Houses, fences. trees. shrubbery and
barns We're reduced to ashes in an in
crcdibly short time. Villagers awak-
encd by the explosions rushed from
the on-coming oil, carrying children
in their arms.
Within five minutes after the first
explosion the flowing river Of oil had
reached the Masonic temple in the
heart of the village and ten minutes
later that structure was enveloped in
flames. Then building after building
took fire as the oil reached them and
within half an hour an area 800 feet
square was mass of flames.
From the wrecked cars the oil also
flowed down the incline of the railroad
track, making long line of fire that
destroyed the ties and twisted the
tracks. Tb" loss is estimated from
SEQ, 900 to S65.0O0.
