The JENNINGS OIL FIRE.
An Attempt viii BE Made to Snu6
Out the Flsmes by the Use
OF Steam.

New Orleans, July 17.-News from
Jennings, La, says that the fire at
the Jennings we'll No. 9, owned by
the Haywood Bros, which was start
ed by lightning, Tuesday night,
is still raging, but that the
gate valve has not given
way. Those who are fighting the fire
are now planning to surround the
burning well with boilers, and to at
tempt to snuff the fire out with
steam Hundreds of people have been
attracted to the scene. Two tanks
containing 2,400 barrels have been
burned, and it is estimated that So
600 barrels from the gusher have been,
destroyed.
w. II. Haywood said that if the
steam plan was successful the fire
would probably be subdued in four
or five days. The fire engine from
Beaumont, which arrived during ths
night, was unable to accomplish any
thing. There is considerable appre-
hension at the scene of the fire, but It
is not thought there will be great
danger to surrounding property UNI
til the gate valve gives way.
