TERRIBLE CONFLAGRATION.
The North River Oil Company’s Building
Burned—-Seven Thousand Barrels
of Oil Consumed—A Quantity
of Lumbar also Burned-
Scenes and Incidents.
•[Prom to-Cay’s Now York Tribune.J
At about 6i o'clock last evening a fire in
-some manner'originated in' the northwest'
corner of the extensive bnildingof the North
River Oil Warehousing Company,located in
Twelfth avenue, ; between ' Twenty-first
and Twenty-Becond streets. At the 'out
break of the fire the watchman, D. B. L.
Inman, was in the office, and the -■first vin
timation he had of the fire was'an explosion
that shattered the windows of the office and
threw him on the floor. Springing" to his
feet, he dashed out of the building and
made his way into the street','so eoinpietely
confused by the'shock thathe could scarcely
give an alarm.
The building in which the fire originated
is 200 feet square, fronting on Twelfth ave
nue, one story in height, and this wa3 filled
with 7,000 barrels of crude petroleum. On a
branch track of the Hudson Elver Railroad,
running alongside the building, were four
cars. Three'of them were loaded with 50-
barrel tanks, and filled with oil. Three of
these had been pumped out, and three were
still fall. The tourta ear, had been loaded
with barrels, but the greater portion of those
had been removed into the^building.
As may be supposed,'the fiferan through
this inflammable mass with a roar and fury'
perfectly appalling. ' Soon the flames burst
through the. roof, and in an inconceivably
--short space of, time the entire mass was on
"fire. Immense volumes of black" smoke
rolled upward, while the flames illnminated
the entire city, the spars of the shipping in
•theriver and the large buildings in the
vicinity being brought out into bold relief,.
while 'the constant explosion of oil barrels
caused considerable consternation among
the crowds who had congregated in the
-vicinity attracted by the unusual exhibition.
While the fire was at its height, one of the
tanks, for the reason mentioned above, ex
ploded with a terrific report, scattering the
burning oil in all directions. With one of
those sudden panic:! that occasionally seize
41 crowd, the mass of lookers-on rushedfrom
the vicinity, down an embankment near by,
in their flight throwing some of their num
ber into a mass of liquid mad, and tramp
ling on the unfortunates in their flight.
Fortunately, no one was seriously injured.
The appearance of some of these victims,
was, however, ludicrous in the extreme, co
wered as they were with mud from head to
foot, and they were hailed with shouts of
•derisive laughter by their more fortunate
companions.
The fire department, under Chief Engin
eer Kingsland, were upon the ground with
their powerful Bteamers soon a ter the out
break of the fire; but their efforts to subdue
-the flames were soon found to be futile,
and attention was turned to the adjoining
lumber yards, which were in imminent
-danger. The burning oil ran from the build
, ing into the street, and borne npon the water
which ran down, the gutters, was carried al
most a block before the material which fed
the flame was burned oat. It seemed use
less to attempt to extinguish this novel
•species of firework, and so it was allowed
to bum at will.
For two hours" the fire raged furiously,
.and at the expiration of that time, having
burned out the material which gave it life,
•died away, nothing remaining of the im
mense building and its contents bat a few
crumbling walls and a mass of glowing em
bers, interspersed with a network of hoops.
Of the petroleum in the building 6,000 bar
rels belonged to t>. Brown & Son. It was
valued at about $60,000. . The building was,
as we have already stated, one story in
height, and 200 feet square. It was also
■owned by D. Brown & Sons, who did busi
ness under the name of the “North River
Oil Warehousing Co.” and was erected by
them a few months since at a cost of abont
.■512,000. It was supposed to be completely
fire-proof, but nothing apparently could
withstand the intense heat to which the
building was subjected. Certain it is that
scarcely one brick now remains upon
.another, The remaining 1,000 barrels or
petroleum was owned ,by Josiah Macy&
Sons, and was valued at about §lO,OOO.
Whether insured or not could not be ascer
tained. The books and papers of Brown &
Sons, in the office of the building, were of
course consumed, nothing whatever being
saved. They have another set of books at
their branch office in Maiden lane, but they
could not be procured last night, and there
fore it was impossible to ascertain the entire
amount of insurance or the names of the
companies. The superintendent, however,
stated that it was Bmall, not approaching
the amount of loss.
The cars burned were owned by the Hud
--son River Railroad corporation, and were
valued in the aggregate at about §4,000. Pro
bably insured.
In the rear of the oil warehouse,and front
ing on Eleventh avenue, is the extensive
lumber yard, planing mill and packing box
manufactory of Maclave Bros. The build
ings were saved, but a large quantity of
lumber adjoining the oil warehouse was
burned. The loss of Maclave Bros, is esti
mated by them at §lO,OOO. Insured in 30
■city companies. They could not reach their
papers in the confusion that prevailed at the
time, and it was therefore impossible to as
> certain the names of the companies or the
amounts in each. »
The'lumber in the yard of Charles Hoffer
berth, located on the north side of Twenty
second street, was onfire several times, but
was extinguished on each occasion. The
loss sustained by Mr. H. was quite incon
siderable.
The Fire Department, under Chief-Engi
neer Kinsland, assisted by Engineers Par
ley, Bates, Rhodes, Shaughnessy, Sullivan
and others, worked with a will. No body
■of men could have done better. It was ap
parent as soon as they arrived upon tae
that it was useless to attempt to save the
■oil warehouse, and the attention was there
fore turned to the task of saving the adjoin
ing property.
The difficulty of doing this will be the
more apparent when we state that in the
immediate vicinity are a number of lum
ber yards, those we h,ave mentioned above
being immediately adjoining. That the
flames were prevented from spreading
further was due entirely to the intelligence
of the officers and the indomitable courage
and perseverance of the men under their
command.
The Department was ably seconded on the
river front by the: steam tag John Fuller,
which has lately been chartered by the
Metropolitan Fire Commissioners and pro
vided with two powerful pumps, capable of
throwing 2,000 gallons per minute. The
Harbor Police boat, under the command of
Capt.Hartt, had two powerful streams upon
the fire.
Sections of Police were present from the
Ninth, Fifteenth, Sixteenth
■Twenty-second and Twenty-ninth Precincts,
under the command of their respective
officers. By their exertions, the immense
throngs which had wmgregated on all the
streets in the vicinity of the fire were kept
back, affording the firemen a. chance to
work without being incommoded or } ta
peded in their exertionsi The thieves were,
of course, out. in large numbers,' but their
depredations were to a great extent pre
vented by the presence of the police.
Before midnight the fire was subdued.
The crowd had departed, and save a few
firemen with watch lines playing streams of
water upon the smoking embers, naught

was visible to mark the spot which had so
lately been the scene of so ~much excite
ment.
, The fire is supposed to have originated in
some manner from the explosion of gas;
For several dayb past the /smell of gas
throughout the building, haß been very ap
parent; more particularly so during the
cloudy, oppressive weather of the past two
days. , ■ ' -rt•
’ Exactly how the explosion' occurred,
whether from spontaneous combustion,.'or
from a lamp in the hands of some careless
person, cannot at present be determined.
A ‘Lurge Expedition. Sailed for Liberia.
The splendid clipper-built ship Golconda,
purchased lately at Boston for the use of the
American Colonization went to sea
from Charleston, 8. the -21st of No
vember, with six hundred emigrants on
board, destined to their home in Liberia.
They are a firstrate company of people, well
supplied with everything necessary to ren
der industry and economy sources of oom
fort and plenty. They consist of families
including mechanics and farmers, most of
.them the better class of freedmen, of whom
194 were from Macon, Georgia, 167 from
Newberry, S. C., 144 from Knoxville, Ten
nessee, 52 from Charleston, S. C., and 43
from Columbia,.B. C. Of these. 206 are to
settle at Sinou,' 181 at Carysburg,lss at Cape
Mount and 58 at Cape Palmas.
A large portion of the, emigrants are pro
cessors of religion, of whom it’ is known
that 70 are Methodists, 56 are Baptists, 13
are Presbyterians,, and 2 are Episcopalians.
Amqng them' is a regularly organized
church—“ The Macon Baptist Church of
Sinou county, Liberia”—consisting of pas
tor, 2 deacons and 26'members. ■: /
A high degree of intelligence is shown in
that 77 can read, 20 can both read and write,
and 2 have had the advantages of a colle
giate education.
The trades or callings are represented by
78 farmers, 33 laborers, 15 carpenters, 13
shoemakers, 9 bricklayers, 9 blacksmiths, 4
wheelwrights, 3 coopers, 3 tailors, 2 millers,’
2 cooks, 1 iron-moulder, 1 silversmith, 1
gunmaker, 1 waterman, 1 gunsmith, 1 engi
neer,. 1 goldsmith, 1 dentist, and i photo
grapher.
The Golconda has five cabin passengers,
viz: Rev. John Seys, Minister Resident and
Consul General of the Government of the
United States to Liberia; Miss Jnlia De W.
Gregg, of Columbia, S. C., and Mr. William
Evans, to join the mission of the Episcopal
Church at Cape Palmas; Dr. Isaac Snow
den, returning to his home at Sinou, and
Rev. H. W. Erskine, who was taken to
Africa in early life by his parents, from
Knoxville, Tennessee, and has been on a
vis-it. for the first time, to his friends and
relatives in this country. He was educated
in Liberie,entered the ministry of the Pres
byterian Church, and is now Attorney
General of the Republic. He takes with
him an aged sister and her husband, with
their children, grandchildren, and great
grandchildren.
The Golcondais expected to make the voy
age out in about thirty days, and to return
in time to commence another trip on the
Ist of May next. The Colonization Society
has already received applications from
several hundred of the people of color for
passage and settlement in that rising State
next spring. We trust that this great
scheme of Christian benevolence may be
enabled promptly to meet the urgent de
mands pouring in npon it. The amount of
good these people may do their race and
I brethren in Africa cannot be measured, and
the benefits they may receive In the Chris
tian Republic of that continent are cer
tainly attractive.
A missionary to Africa recently wrote to
the African Repository as follows, respect
ing the capacity and prospects of the Li
berian Republic:
As the Republic of Liberia, civilly and
socially, is a miniature pictnreof the United
States, so it is religiously. I found myself
in the midst of the several denominations,
among those who acted toward me as an old
friend and acquaintance just returning
home, whose fraternal and Christian inter
course was of the most pleasant character.
Under the auspices and aid of the several
denominations of this country, education
receives a good share of attention and
patronage.
It will suffice to say, that so far as the soil
concerns the emigrant, he will have, in
point of fertility, the equal of any of our
river bottoms. Eight or. ten miles up the
St. Paul’s I saw sugar cane, on the place of
a Mr. Young, matured from eight to ten
joints, and still In a thriving condition.
This farmer, I think, raised his own sugar,
com, sugar-cane, yams, potatoes, rice, peas,
arrow root, coffee; besides which, cassada,
baDanas, plantains, oranges, “sonr-sop,”
with many other tropical fruits, may be suc
cessfully and profitably grown by any in
dustrious farmer.
Coffee of a very superior flavor, eaual to
the Java or Laguayra, thrives well. On the
St. John’s river, at Bexley,in Bassa county,
I saw one or two beautiful orchards. It
seemed to me the cultivation of the coffee
tree would furnish a most delightful avoca
tion.
The climate of Africa is the foe to the
white man. The experiment has been re
peatedly;made, to the discomfiture, as if by
the finger of Providence to point out the
means by which that benighted land may be
lifted from the gnlf of darkness and despair.
Africa is emphatically the home of the black
man. There the millions of this country
will finally rest from their servitude, in
bearing back to their own race,whence they
came, the civilization and religion whioh
have blessed them here, and wifi bless and
elevate millions of their progeny yet un
born.
The Chops in. Adah aha... and.-Lou
isiana.—The Washington correspondent of
the-Boston Post writes as follows: “A well
known capitalist of New York city, who
has been absent from thefySouth for a period
of six weeks past, upon a tour of observa
tion solely, has just arrived at Washington,
bn his way back to the North. He pats me
in possession of a large number of tabular
statements relative to the crops in Alabama
and Louisiana, by whioh it is shown that
the cotton yield of this year isless.tbanone-.
fifth the product of 186 u, when the last ave
rage crop was; produced About fifty ex
officers of the Federal army, having nnder
taken the cultivation of cotton, lose all th'e :
way from fifty to two hundred thousand
thousand dollars by the failure of the crops.
Droughts and protraoted rains in turn
have so,nearly resulted in raining the pros
pects of even a moderately successful yield
that the freedmen will render the catas
trophe certain by relaxing in great measure
the exertions'necessary to save any con
siderable ' remnant. During November
many of the negroes quit picking at this
critical emergency of cotton culture, and
are demanding the immediate ratification of
labor contracts for next year before they
wifi resume the harvest. They desire terms
that will involve the payment of cash wages,
instead of the former arrangement, looking
to a division of the crops between planter
and field-hands.”
An English Scientific Expedi

‘!Vichy w at : this moment the rescjng

which haß been studying the geologioal
formations of. the volcanic mountains of
the Cevennes, Pay-de-D6me and Farez.
Amongst the members are some repre
sentatives of the English aristocracy,and
several ladies of the highest distinction,
for whom the science of the different
lands of the globe has irresistible attrac
tions. The laboratory of M. Tozand.the
able chemist to the Emperor, is the
