Oil Fire Iii Bratlforrf,
. . Tlie Bradford jVcm Pro. gives tlio
following af cour t of a disastrous con
flagration wiitch occurred on Tuesday,
Si'nc 13th: . ....
Yesterday noon, during a heavy
thunder shower, the lightning set fire
to ti'O gas from the Olmslead well, No.
1. (owned by Flishcr fe Earner) cm
tue Kanford farm, n'-nr the twenty
two thousand barrel tank, owned by
the McKean County Pipe Lino. Some
men were engagod in pulling the tub
ing for tho pu'-pose of putting in a
torpedo, when n. flash cf lightning
came, and siniultsneou,sly with its de
cent, the rig took fine barely allowing
a man Viio wns up on tlje. derrick, .
tunc to escape. The de'rlck was very
soon consumed, the fire , spread with
great rapidity to the tank house and
tank containing two hundred barrels
of oil, and enveloped it In flames.
The immense volumes of smoke
which poured forth, soon begun to at
tract attention and hundreds rushed
to the spol to -witness the exciting
scene. It immediately became evi
dent that the large iron tank owned
by the Producers'" Consolidated ,Land
& Petroleum Company was In danger.
In a slmrt time the wooden tank
burst, sending tho oil in all directions
and enveloping the iron tank in a
sheet of flame. The gas ignited with
aloud explosion, and the spectators,
half tVanlio with fear, hurried away
to places of greater safety.. In 'a few
moments the immense reservoir with
its 522,000 barrels of oil was enveloped
in a mass of black smoke and flashes
of red tfanvs.
The lire was not long confined to
the immediate lu-iuhb'ii.'h.ood ,of the
iron tank, hut . niched down tward
flic railroad and Kennedy's steam
mill. . In turn it swept away two
twelve hundred barrel, tanks, belong
ing to Prentice & Co., Jackson . & Wal
ker's well, 'o .4, and a tank contain
ing two hundred barrels of oil: J. B.
Farrei's .veil, (formerly owned by
Chambers A: Co.) and a tank contain
ing over two hundred li'ivrcN; two of
Prentice & Co. welis and tanks; a'oout
forty empty wooden ear tanks, be
longing to Prentice iC- Co., pumps, ap
paratus for loading oil, and other ma
chinery atid veil f ttings owned by
the Pipe Line; five ear loads of oil
that bad just been loaded, a dwelling
house owned by a man by tho name
of Itiicy; iind.a cuauitv of lumber and
shingle's, belonging to P. T. Kennedy.
Pi'cutiee & Co., are the heaviest
lossers, but a portion of their losses to
t lie amount of Ot 1,000 is covered by in
surance. The other losses are about as fol
lows: Jackson &. AVallU-r, SJ.OOU; J.
15. Farrel, ?2,Q0O; Prentice fc Co.,
property outsi do of iron tauk, 10,000
iron rank and and oil, ?(io,000; FliHher
& Farner, $2,000; dwellimr house
owned bv Kiloy,'v'j00; Erie Hallway,
fS,0iK). . The total loss will he in. the
neighborhood o' 'Ki.oOO.
Later. The flames burst forth
with increased fury at half-past one
o'clock this movninir, lightlmr up
the v,-huV country with the brilliancy
of day. Inafevv moments the sides
of the tank collapsed, - and the burn
ing oil run down toward the creek,
hut was prevented feoni reaching it
by the railroad Y, which runs west of
town. .
At three o'clock tha. flames began to
subside. . It is yumon-d that another
rig lias been destroyed.

Tlje sixth week of tlie Exhibition
opened well and Is closing active. A
steady increase iu tlie attendance is
still not'cable. F.vcn rainy days art
no drawback to tlie enjoyment of
visitors for if tlie avenues and walks
are wet and muddy, and the air damp,
the interior of. the buildings afford a
dry, comfortable, and most entertain
ing retreat. A ludicrous incident
occurred on Tuesday at one of the en
trance turnsliles. A fit boy a home
specimen from Illinois and a rival to
Parniun's presented himself at the
usual place of entrance but was to his
own dismay unable to pass through.
The gatekeeper were powerless to
render assistance or advice. Their
orders were to permit nobody to pass
into the grounds except through the
stile, and yet this applicant was in tlie
most literal sense a "body." AVhat
was to bo done. Tin boy had his
fifty-cent piece in his hand and de
manded admission. Tlie Depatment
of Admissions was applied to, a
hurried consultation was hold, and as
a last resort the heavy youth was ad
mitted through the wagon gate.
Tlie AVomen's Department at the
Exhibition ia one of the things not to
bo sneezed at. The New England
kitchen is quite a centre of attraction,
and is one of those distinct features
that a person is likely to inspect sev
eral times. Tlie ladies, under the
superintendence of Mis Emma South-
wick, have been extremely fortunate
in securing many objects of special
interest for exhibition, which arc
doubly notable by reason of their
novelty and ace. A combination of
quaint architecture, antiquated furni
ture, and tlio epochal costumes of the
attendants gives one a pleasing view of
life in New England a century ago.
There is a chair that was brought from
Old England in tho second ship that
lauded on our coast; and another
made in Delivers, Mass., over 205 years
ago, which has descended from the
family of Governor Endicott. Under
ueath a clock, Bald to have been made
108 years ago is John Alden's writing.
desk which was brought oyer in tlie
Mayflower, The , fireplace is
glimpse of history in Itself. Hanging
over the fire on the crane are two of
the oddest-looking kettles said to
have come from England in the Card-
. .
vjelt. i On the mantle arc, the ti'ider
box, the crarjc-lainp and other ancient
articles, above which hung, tlie old
flint-lock musket and powder-horn.
At tire side of the fireplace is a,sniall
but C?at spinnjng-whecl, .which , ac
cording to Mrs. General Cunningham,
was brought to this country in tho
Maiftower. Years ago it was thrown
osidc as useless, but w hen , the Cen
tcnnirl mqycipent begun, to extend
Its Influence, over tho country a Miss
Tower took hold of it, burnished it up
and put It iii condition to ho operated
on by her much to the amusement of
the visitors. Alongside of the wheel
is a chest of drawers sold to be 200
years old, an .assertion its appearance
fully jitstifU-s.. the truth of. At the
other side of the heal th hangs a sad
dle, nindo 170 years ago, and ft sample
of the kind used entirely by the gen
tility Of that .day., Against the walls
hangs a commission 'granted lo Lieu-'
tenant-Colonel Nathan ;,P-ivreU from
John Hancock first governor of Massa
chusetts in 17S1. A W' pendent is a
sword worn by Colonel Barrett in the
niemprable Concord flght of April 10th
1773, w hen ho was only a captain. A
pewter platter, said to have been
made a century ago, is suspended be
sides a canteen of tho Involution and
a wooden plate tilled with marks of
time, but which originally formed a
portion of a fashionable young lady's
weding outfit. On "an old fashioned
sideboard is arrayed flic china-ware
in vogue dtiring-the llevolut'on with
its peculiar-ligured plates and many
colored cups and s'titcers. There is a
veri table whistle made from a pigs
tail over which is placarded the fol
lowing Pnes!
"There's n porycrb as ancient as
Sco land's tb'stle
That out of a pig'stall you can't make
a whistle ; i ' t
AVe believe we've accomi:l'sh -d the

And all who may wish can make the
tail sing.
And these are not all tlie unique ex
hibits in this Department, of which 1
shall sheak aerain hereafter for the
benefit of your lady readers' .
Yesterday I had a look at the
famous AYiscousi'i War Eagle. "Old
Alio" now on exhibition iii Agricul
tural Hull. This old votran of w hom
nearly everybody has heard was cap
tured by a Chippewa Ivdian In
Northern AViscmsin, in JS(I, and was
carried by tlie fcih Vi-iconsin regi
ment three years, passing through 2-3
battles. Ac afterwards became a
"(State P.ii-d" and has frequently been
on cxhibitation for charitable objects
earning over 525,000. AVhile in the
building I learned that the jury on
agricultural muchinevy have decided
to abandon the old priictico of field
trials, hciieveing that no fair estimate
of the value of machines can be formed
from such trials; The quality of
durabilityf for instance, which is one
of the most important in the compe
tition of reapers, plows &c, cannot be
ascertained at all by a single exhib
ition of. their working. . .The jury will
therefore, merely examine the
machines as they stand in Agricul
tural Hall, and will recommend such
makes as seem to c'.mibine the most
improvements.
A conflict of authority, has arisen
etween the Centennial Commission
rs and the Centennial Board of Fi
nance, tlio taller contending tnat as
they .are entrusted with the money
md their olllerrs are under heavy
bonds for tlie proper expenditure of
it, they should havo absolute control
of the funds. They therefore decline
to pay some unek-'-s salaries and other
xtravagancies. The preponderance
of legal opinion and public sympathy
appears to be with the Board of Fi
nance, who have .so judiciously
guarded the purse-strings against the
moonshine of pompous figureheads.
Arrangements for tho 4th of July de
monstrations are in jirogrcss though
there are indications that (he. parade
won't be so large an alnur r.s was con
templated. A disposition was mani
fested on the part of the commission
to have the ceremonies tako place
within the Centennial ('.round1, but
good sense has prevailed to make It a
free show on that day, and Indepen
dence Square has been selected as the
spot. Governor Hartranft will take
command. Governor Tilden will also
appear at (lie head of tlie New York
column. New York could turn out a
splendid display but no appropria
tion was made by tlie legislature for
expenses of regiments and only some
of the wealthier ones wiil bo able to
come without that aid.
The new bell for Independence
Hall arrived from Troy a day or two
o. ft is a delicate little tiling
weighing only 1:5,700 pounds and
measuring sevpn feet in height and
23 J iu circumference. Some of tlio
material of which it is cast was melted
from old cannons .'captured from the
British ut Saratoga in the revolution
ary war. Tlie bell bears the mode
inscription: ''Presented Jo the. city
of Philadelphia July 4 1875, for the
belfry of Independence Hall, by
citizen." Around the lip is the motto.
Proclaim liberty ; throughout all the
land unto all tlie inhabitants thereof."
and at the top, '-Glory to God in the
highest, and on earth peace good ill
toward men." It will be hung In the
belfry at once but will not be rung
until noon on July 4th, when it will
peal forth thirteen strokes, one for
each of the original states. ,
Thousands of people have engaged
quarters here for periods ranging from
the 25th lust, to the 10th of July, and
on the Fourth tho crowd will be im
