Totally Destroyed—The Loss Estimat
ed at Quarter of a Mlllion Dollars.
FRANKLIN, Pa., Jan. 31.—A very destruc
tive fire occurred here this morning on
Bennehoff run. It originated from a spark
from the smoke-stack of the Getty well.
The flames spread and communicated to all
the wells, twenty-two in number. About
thirty thousand barrels of oil have been
destroyed. The oil is now running down
the stream, setting fire to everything in its
way. It is estimated that the loss will reach
a quarter of a million, of dollars.
R.: OFFAL°, Jan. 3L—A despatch was re
ceived here this evening from Petroleum
Centre, stating that a fire to-day destroyed
seven wells on Bennehoff run, and it was
reported that about 20,000 barrels of oil were

PETROLEUM CENTRE, Pa., Jan. 31.—A,
terrible fire occurred at Bennehoff river this

cated to an oil well on lease 33.

Visit of Indians to the President.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.—Commissioner
Cooley, of the Indian bureau, accompanied
a-delegation from the Choctaw, Chickasaw,
Cherokee, Creek, Seminole and Ottowa
tribes of Indians to the President's mansion
to-day, whither they went for the purpose
of having an interview with him. The
Choctaws and Chickasaws, through their
representative, Mr. Jones, said to the Presi
dent that they came with the hope of re
storing the friendly relations which had
existed under their treaty with the United
States.
They trusted the past might be blotted
from memory. Whilst execrating the
crime which had deprived the nation of its
bead, they congratulated themselves that
his successor was so just, his
and
wise. They looked to his Excellency for
that treatment which had been accorded
them by his 'predecessors.
The Cherokees appeared as two parties—
one known as loyal and the other as dis
loyal—both desirous of having harmonious
connections. Captain Christie, of the loyal
delegation,whose remarks were interpreted,
said he approached the President as a friend,
with no confessions of disloyalty or with
ever having done anything against the Go- I
venunent.
• For the last two years of the war they
have fought to sustain it, and their country
was desolate on that account. They felt
that they had his deep sympathy.
The representatives of the other delega
tions present, announced, through their in
terpreters, two of whom were black men,
their gratitude and happiness at being al
lowed to communicate with the President,
with, at their conclusion,. thanked the
various tribes for the compliment in railing
upon him as Chief Magistrate of the United
States, and was gratified to find them
indicating a spirit of peam; and, on behalf
,
• ' ,
of the peo ;le of tbArnited Statee 'extended
the right hand • ortellowship '' to"?them ,and
hoped they would 'act in'good-faith. ' .- i
The obligations and promises made to them
would be redeemed.' - .He said it wasto their
interest to cultivate peach and friendklip
with the Tjnited States. , The - Government
is powerful and just, and its power would
be' exercised in exttindingj ustice to all with
whom it limy have ',relations. '
When e
)1
concluded his remarks, the 'dif
ferent rep esentatives were severally intro
duced to the Peesident by Commissioner
Cooley, . and departed evidently. with
leeliEgs o satisfaction, and pleased at: the
result of 'heir interview.

rollers to grind up the dirt. such as brigs worms, flies.
