FLAMES SPREAD FROM OIL
TANK STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.

San Luis Opispo, Cal, Jan. 28.-
Two tanks of the Standard Oil Com
pany at Port Hartford caught fire to
day from burning oil in a tank be-
longing to the U1ion Oil Co., which
was struck by lightning yesterday.
One of the Standard tanks was nearly
filed with oil, and the other which
was nearly empty exploded, the oil
flowing into the water, and the whole
town of Port Hartford is threatened.
The wharf is afire according to one
report, and the Hotel Marie at the
wharf, is probably destroyed. Several
schooners are lying close to take all
the people aboard in case the town
is doomed.
LATER Four of the nine oil
tanks at Port Hartford are afire and
it is apparent that others are doom
ed The oil has spread over the wa
square is burning. Twenty men on
the burning tank barely escaped when
it exploded. The families of employees
in the companys houses close to the
tanks abandoned their homes scantily
clothed and rushed to the adjoining
hills when the Standard tanks caught
fire. No injuries have been reported
so far

IN THAW CASE
TO BEGIN TOMORROW

New York, Jan. 2S.-Before open
the Thaw trial today there was a
conference of counsel having for its
object the arrangement of a compro-
mise as to admitting certain evidence,
principally copy of Evelyn Nesbit's
affidavit supposed to have been made
in Abe Hummelrs Office. District At
torney Jerome offered to let in Thaw's
will by consent, if Littleton would ad
nit the affidavit, and save the neces
sity of taking HummeI's testimony
on Blackwell's Island.
The state began the rebuttal testi-
mony by calling several eye witnesses
of the tragedy, who declared that
Thaw's conduct impressed them as
Hummell were called and told of Ev-
elyn Nesbit signing an affidavit in
the Madison Square Tower when she
was in company with White. One of
them declared that before she signed
it she glanced through the document
and declared it true.
With the exception of the testimo-
ny of HummeI this is all the evi-
dence the state will have to Offer
said Jerome. 1t had been rumored
for some time that Jerome would not
call any insanity experts on rebuttal,
and this statement confirmed it.
1t is reported that Jerome will con
tend in his summing up to the jury
that no competent case of mental if
responsibility under the law was
made out by the defense. Another con
ference of attorneys followed Je
rome's announcement, and it was fin
ally agreed that Hummell's testimony
at the last trial should be read to
the jury and that will of Thaw shall
also be read, and this was done.
The reading of the Hummen testi-
mony was still in progress when the
lunch adjournment occurred. The de
fense has only a few witnesses in
sur-reDuoCal, aIS~ the summing up of
the attorneys is expected to begin
tomorrow.

may exceed its authority aad thus
render its own contracts invalid. How

have looked up the law carefully that
the council was entirely within its
rights in making contract with the
waterworks and sewer commission to
act as an agent and representative of

ton of the waterworks and sewer
system This being so, the contract
with Captain John w. Poe, r. D. Bell
and J.. F. Hinkle to supervise this
work is valid, and cannot be broken

next council elected until the work
is complied. The contract may lapse
only upon failure of the people to vote
