The Coal Oil Fires.

Philadelphia, Pa., June 14.—The fire at Point Breeze smoldered all night, but is under control this morning, though the ship Hudson is still burning in the river. The loss by yesterday’s fire is about $100,000, of which $50,000 will fall upon Warder, Frew & Co., and a like amount upon the Atlantic Storage Company, although the entire loss falls eventually on the Standard Oil Company. The loss by both fires will approximate half a million of dollars.
