HUNDREDS PERISH. Oil Tanka Rent During a Cloudburst in Pennsylvania. nlr Contents Take Fire and an Awful Calamity Results at Oil City and Titusville—Many Drowned or liurned to Deaths BT FIHE AND FLOOD. Pittsburgh, Pa., June 6.—The oil regions of Pennsylvania were 1 isited Sunday by a disaster of fire and water that is only eclipsed in the history of this country by the memorable flood at Johnstown just three years ago. It is impossible at this hour (midnight) to give anything like an accurate idea of the loss of life and property, as chaos reigns throught the devastated region and a terrible conflagration still rages in Oil City. It is safe to say that not less than 150 lives have been lost and many believe the number nearer 250. Nearly 100 bodies have already been recovered and many people are still missing. The number may far exceed 150, but this Is regarded as a conservative estimate. The property loss reach far into the millions At Titusville the loss is estimated at $1,500,000; Oil City, $1,500,000; Corry, $00,000; Meadville, $150,000, and surrounding country probably a million more. For nearly a month it lias been raining throughout western and northern Pennsylvania almost incessantly, and for the last three or four days the downpour in the devastated regions had been very heavy. The constant rains had converted ull.the small Rtreamsinto raging torrents, so that when the cloudburst cainc Sunday the streams were soon beyond tlieir boundaries and the great body of water came sweeping down Oil creek to Titusville, which is 18 inik-s south of 7ts source. The lower portion of the town was soon inundated. The flood came so quickly that the people had not time to reach a place of safety. The water soon swept a number of oil tanks down tlie stream and in some way not known they w.ere ignited. In less time than it takes to tell tlie story the flames spread to tlie surrounding buildings, and before they could be subdued live blocks had bcei; burned. The oil from the scores of broken tanks ran into the creek and was ignited by floating debris. In a few minutes the creek was ablaze from shore to shore, and as the fire was carried down tlie stream death ami destruction followed in its wake. Everything in flammable took fire and by tlie time it reached Oil City all the bridges between the two points were consumed. Oil. City is 18 miles from Titusville. Tin- towns along the creek are Broughton, Miller Karin, pioneer, Petroleum Center, Kyild Farm, Rouse,fiile and MeClintoekville. Rouseville has about 1,000 inhabitants and tlie other towns about 200 each. Oil creek flows through a narrow gorge all the way and as the towns are mostly situated on the bills it is hoped there was no loss of life. Communication has been cut off from these places, however, and nothing is definitely known.. Oil City, Pa., June 6.—The most appalling calamity in the history of Oil City fell upon it Sunday, resulting in tlie destruction pf life and property which as yet can only be approximated. Thus far forty lives are known to be lost, hundreds of people are missing and it’ is believed the loss of life exceeds 100. At 11:30 Sunday forenoon a large proportion of the population of the city was distributed along tire banks and bridges of the Allegheny river and Oil creek, watching" the rise of the flood in both streams, the chief cause of the rise of the latter being a cloudburst above Titusville Saturday niglit, and which resulted in the loss of forty or fifty lives at that place. At tho time mentioned Sunday forenoon an omirtous covering of oil made itk appearance on tin; crest of the flood pouring down Oil creek valley and the dangerous waves of gas from distillate and benzine could be seen on the surface of the stream. People began slowly to fall back from the bridge and the creek, but they had hardly begun to do so when an explosion was heard up the stream, which was rapidly followed by two others, and quick as a flash of lightning the valley for a distance of 2 miles was filled with an awful mass of roaring flames and billows of smoke that rolled high above the hills. Almost as quickly as the words can be written fully 5,000 people were on the streets, wild with terror, rushing to the hills. Men forgot that they wore men, and scores at men, women and children were knocked down and trampled upon both by horses and people in the flight for places of safety. The flood in the Oil creek valley had Inundated the upper portion of the town, flooding from fifty to seventyfive houses along North Seneca street The most of their inmates reached places of safety by the use of boats or by swimming and wading, bnt a number of them were yet In the upper stories or in the water when the fire came and their fate was quickly sealed. Some of them were seen to jump into the water to escape death in the flamea From the remnants of the only building remaining in this waste after tho flood three persons were removed in a boat, severely burned, but alive. The distillate and benzine on the crock came from a tank lifted % the flood and is supposed to have been ignited by a spark from an engine near the Lake Shore tunnel, at the northern part of the city. The Are shot up the creek as well it down, and several tanks are on fire at a number of refineries up the creek, bnt it is believed that t.a'r burning contents can be kept within the tanks and that a second baptism of fire may he averted. The Bellevue hotel, Petroleum house, the Oil City barrel factory, ihe new building of the Oil City tube works, the big furmturA and undertaking establishment of George Paul A Sons and probably 160 dwelling houses have been totally destroyed. The fire department

kept the fire from crossing to the central portion of tl® town except in one instance, when Trinity church caught fire, but the department succeeded in saving the building as well as the two bridges. About half a mile from the post offleq, northward from here, on the Western New York & Pennsylvania railroad a tank filled with gasoline was standing on a siding. Some young men passing noticed that the tank was leaking, and knowing its explosive nature, and seeing a shifting engine approach, ran up the side of a hill where they turned, and looking down as the engine passed witnessed a fearful sight. A mass of flame shot 100 feet into the air and the earth seemed to shake with an awful tremor. The engineer and firemen were seen jumping from the cab,and it is supposed they were burned to death or killed by the force of the explosion. In an instant tlie flames swe.pt madly over the entire upper part of the city, which is flooded by the oily waters of the creek. Men, wombn and children who were moving from their houses were caught by the deadly flames, and if not burned to death outright were drowned in the raging flood. >- Paul & Sons’ furniture house, a fourstory building, was swept awa.v with $30,000 worth of Stock, furniture, etc. Reinbold’s hotel and livery stable were destroyed in a few moments, and Mr. Keinbolil and two others who have not been identifitfd w.ere burned to death. These three bodies have been recovered. About half of the Third ward has been destroyed and the fire is still doing its awful work iiv this part of the city. People are panic-stricken all over town, and mothers have been running about madly looking-for their lost children. Fathers of families are searching for their children and endeavoring to get them all together in a place of safety. Up to 5 p. m. sixty-nine bodies had been recovered and identified, and the death list will figure up much larger, some placing it three or four times that number. There are fifteen bodies at tlie undertaking rooms of Britting, McCracken A Cos., twenty-five at - tlie city hall and a number were taken to their homes. There are still many persons missing. Titusville, Pa., June 6.—This city is passing through tlie largest flood, attended with fire, together witli large loss of life, that it has ever experienced. Though the fire is still raging, the latter is now under control. The estimate of actual loss will -foot up betwee $1,000,000 and $1,500,0(0. The loss of life will be ty om #evei ty to 200 people, composed hnostly of the working classes. Fifteen bodies have been recovered. Oil creek lias overflowed its banks from tlie west end above the water and gasworks to tlie city line below and for Incurs assumed (lie proportions of an almost resistless flood, reaching almost up to the line of‘Spring street. Scores of cheap dwelling houses in the lower part .of the city, om Mechanic street and vicinity, haie been destroyed. Titusville gave $15,009 to Chicago. $5,000 to the Johnstown sufferers and *2,000 to the south at the time of the yel-low-fever also $1,500 to the Russian relief, and lias also responded to all demands upon tlie public sympathy wln-n oil towns have been in distress. . • The scene presented by the rushing waters surging through the lower part of the city, as witnessed by thousands of citizens, was one of utter desolation. When morning broke hundreds of anxj iouspeopl e looked outof the windows or stood on the roofs of the houses waiting for a helping hand and trembling for their fate. Strong and brave men by means of boats and ropes succeeded in reaching and saving those who had gained a position where they could hold on till help arrived or till the waters began to recede. To add to the horror at tlie scene, rain fell in torrents and fire broke out in the refineries at different points, and the, burning oil sweevmig (Jown the current communicated Jth'e fire to other manufacturing pliuits and establishments, and * the destruction was increased a hundred fold Among the buildings destroyed by fire are tlie International oil works, tYe Hiram Blow copper shop, tlie Rice A Robinson refinery, the Titusville radiator works, the Western New York & Pennsylvania railroad freight offices. Casperson’s furniture works, store and residence; Jack Cullen’s hotel and Crescent oil works of John Schwartz & Cos. Fully One-third of the business and residence portion of the city is a mass of ehurred emjiers, 'over which the terrible waters still- rush with unabated fury. The streets are filled with crowds of wet, hungry, hopeless and despairing men, women and children, most of whom have lost loved ones and all their property. The Water still floods the streets and the sky is still black with heavy smoke from the burning refineries, cooper shops, radiator works, hotels, furniture factories, freight depots and dwellings. The big refinery and wax plant owned by F. L. Wood A Cos. caught fire exactly at noon, and the black smoke blowing directly over the city turned midday almost into the blackness of night, and as the rain continued to come down in bucketfuls what the outcome was to be was past even conjecture. The waters of Oil creek were rushing through the streets in the lower part of the city with resistless force, while from houses and driftwood piles in the midst of the torrent came beseeching walls and screams of anguish from the helpless victims. The suddenness of the rise of tho river was later explained by the intelli genee that the huge mill dam of Thompson 4; Eldred, located at Spar tunsburg, about 7sniles from this city, had burst. The lake made by this dam was a half mile in length by a quarter of a mile in breadth, and tlie waters thus suddenly let loose made this valley in the course of a few moments a roaring Amazon. A congress of b*sr brewers will be held next year.
