Large Sale of Lcmher. Last
Thu rsday about two million feet of
lum her was sold at assignee's sale at
Carrier mill, a short distance west
of I leynoldsville, property of Mr. N.
car rier. iue sale was pretty gen
eral ly advertised, and numerous bid
ders were present from Baltimore,
Phi ladelphia, Pittsburgh, and other
poir its, representing some of the lar
gest dealers in the country. The com
petition was quite lively, and the
pric-es secured at least two dollars per
vuou.sana nigner man tne same
qual ity of lumber has been selling at
from, the mills along the line of the
Low th-ade road. The average price
was a little over 813 per thousand, the
highest price being $33.50 for clear
plan k, and 0.50 for mill culls. The
sale aggregated about $27,000.
The effect of this sale has been to
send up prices all along the line, and
even at the yards at Pittsburgh an
advance has been ordered, the fact
having been developed that the stock
of lu mber available is exceedingly low,
some qualities being out of reach en
tirely. Dealers generally are jubliuut
and predict booming times next year
when the new stock is ready for mar

Oil Prod net ion Declining.
The speculative market is just now
in a serious frame of mind over the
bright future of oil. Those who have
watched tne oil developments have no
hesitation in saying that the limits of
the oil field are now quite well de
fined, and that for the past two
months the production has been stead
i!y decreasing-the falling oil" in Cole
creel: alone being J,0U0 barrels per
day. In the face of this fact tho de
mand lor the illuminator is greater
now than it ever wau before the ex
ports to China, Japan and India alone
since )ftst January being 20,000,000
gallons. Tn fact the trade lias doubled
itself in the last few years. This fact
lias been taken advantage of by
shrewd speculators, who in the im
mediate past, have been investing
largely in the certificates, and this in
vestment was tho cause of tho recent
boom. Tankage at all points is bein
increased, especially at the seaboard.

Destructive Fire at Rod Kock.
Bradford, Pa., Dec. 12. The 25,000
barrel tank of oil at Red Rock,
belonging to E. O. Emerson, which
took fire on Tliursday evening at 6
o'clock, burned through the entire
night. The force of 800 niert, men
tioned in this morning's dispatch, re
mained at work steadily building
dams and digging trenches to prevent
the oil from running down Into Ihe
village. It was know that the' tank
must burst toward morning and every
precaution possible was taken to con
fine tho oil in tho dams. At 5 o'clock
one ring of the iron tank collapsed
and another burst, leaving 10,000 bar
rels out into the dams. It boiled furi
ously and the intense heat drove the
men back.
A few minutes after there was a
break in the dams, and the burning
oil swept down on the sUrfacc of Little
brook through theceiitrc of the village.
The fire communicated to the build'
ings nearby and spread with wonder
ful rapidity. Tho heat in the village
from the burning stream of oil wus so
great as to repel all efforts to protect
the buildings which were all light
frame structures. The residents o!
the town knew hours before that it
was in all probability doomed, and
had removed as many of their goods
as possible to the hillside, where they
sought safety.
The attention of Ihn men Was now
turned to preventing the burning oil
reaching the other tanks further down
the valley. In one hour a hundred
buildings were burned, embracing all
the principal hotels, stores and dwell
ings. There are but a dozen small
buildings standing about tho edges of
the burned town. By the fire 'Mo
families have been left Jiohioltss and
destitute.
10-day itciioi committees were ap
pointed and have fed and provided
lodgings for the sufferers. Mayor
Broiler of Bradford called for aid, and
at 5 o'clock had received over $2,000.
Die donations Irom abroad aggregate
$1,000 more. To-night tho Relief
Committee and business men of the
destroyed town are holding a meeting
to consider the feasibility of rebuild
ing a portion and providing for the
destitute. It is expected that by to
morrow subscriptions will be received
from nearly all the towns in ihe oil
region.
A rumor '"went forth that a family
had perished nvthe llames is tin
founded.. The trestle of the O. B. &
W. R. R. near town was destroyed
and will be rebuilt to-morrow. The
loss cannot accurately be estimated,
but will approximate :;t)0,000. All is
quiet about the place to-night.
Sail Francisco, December 15. A
Victoria dispatch) dated December 1
says: "Much anxiety is lelt here at t.iic
condition of affairs near Kamloops,
where Government Agent Assher was

John Kelly, at Stump lake. They are

the settlers are poorly armed. The
Indians are fearfully excited and an
Indian revolt is feared- A dispatch

have phot and killed another rettler.
They are still corralled in the log
house. The country is in arms. The
Indians are sulky but are quiet. A
