Explo!lon4nd Fire Yesterday Morning
—Standard Olt }Winery Partially
Destroyed—Estimated Loss $15,000
—Several Men seriolisly Injured.
Yesterday morning a fire broke but at
the Standard Oil Works, which for a
time threatened to furnish a parallel to
the extensive conflagration at Forsythe's
Works in that vicinity a short time strict,.
The first intimation of the fire was eati
veyed to the city' by an alarm struck at
twenty minutes past eight o'clock from
box 84, corner of Butler and Thirty
eighth streets. The engines in the , dis
trict started out, and in about twentyifive
minutes the others were called by a gen
eral alarm, The excitement in the city
by this time became very great,rici was
further increased by rumors that the
Standard. Oil Works were ablaze, nine
men had been seriously burned, and the
fire was burning furiously, the firemen
being totally unable to check in the least
the progress of the flames. •
THE SITUATION.
The Standard . 011 Works are among
the largest and bsst in the country and
at present are owned and operated by a
stock, company of which JamesA. Hutch
ison, Esq., is President. They are situa
ted about a mile above the Allegheny
cemetery, and extend from the Alleghe
ny river to Butler street, with the Alle
gheny Valley Railroad running through
the premises. Connected with the dis
tilling deparment, where the lire occur
'red, are five stills running back in a
line with the railroad, four of
which are under roof. The fifth
still, built lathe open air, is capable of
holding one thousand barrels of crude
oil and had nearly_ that amount in it
yesterday morning. The works were in
full operation and everything apparent.
ly in proper order when a loud report
was heard, followed by two others and a
shower of hot burning soil, which pro
ceeded from still No. 5._ ImMediately
that part of the establishment was
ablaze and the work of destruction
began.
THE FIRE AND VICTIMS.
Next the large still on fire was a new
ono in course of erection, which would
have neen ready forase in about two
weeks. It was proppeup on pillars,
and the foundation of atone part of which
had been built. At the time of the ex
plosion a number of men and boys em
ployed by A. Stettler dr. Son, builders,
were working about the still three of
them being inside and the others en top.
BefOre they had time to get away or
even apprehended danger, the burning
oil came down upon those on the outside,
burning them very badly and inflicting
very serious injuries. They were first
removed to a place of safety and medical
attention procured, when attention was
again directed to the fire, which by this
time was burning furiously.
An ekamination revealed the fact that
the roof of No. Five, concave in abapa,
had neen blown half off, which allowed
the blaze to reach the oil contained in it
—nearly one thousand bar - fre. The oil
in this still continued tollnirn for some
time, the heat from the fiery furnace be
ing intense, and in a short time ignitlng
the wood work of the condensing tanks
in the vicinity 'and the wooden
supports of the new still. These were
quickly in flames and added to the heat,
which rendered work in the vicinity
almost impossible, and considerably de
tracted from the efforts of the firemen
and others who sought to check the eon.
flagration. The fire continued to burn
for about three hours, consuming every
thing within reach, when the heat
began to tell on a still located
in the still house some distance
from the burning still, but in a line with
it. This still at the time had about five
hundred barrels of 01l in it, and exhib
ited evidences of weakness at the "man
head," where the oil came dripping out
slowly. This waseoon in a blaze and shot
up a flame to the roof, which so alarmed
the workmen that another alarm was
sounded. By great exertions, however'
a section of hose was secured in such a
position that a stream of water could be
kept playing on the "man head." By
this means the rivets were kept from
melting and the still was saved- Had it
once caught the whole works would in
evitably have been destroyed as there
were three other tanks withi y n a vary few
feet of it, and all full of oil. The danger
of an explosion at this time was very
great but fortunately it was arrested.
The oil in the large still continued to
burn, and when the fire had been
checked in other quarters somewhat, an
attempt was made to se cure some of it.
The still was tapped at the base and
pipes run from it to a large wooden tank
a short distance away, but out of danger.
By this means a portion, but oy a small
portion, of the oil was saved. nl
The fire
continued to burn all day and was still
smouldering when our reporter left the
ground at six o'clock last evening. No
fears, however, were entertained of any
further, damage, as it had consumed
about all that came within reach.
Sad 'Result.
PITI'SB
FM AT IKE 460ANDARIV
TELE LOSS.
Upon summing up it Noss discovered
that one still containing about one thou
sand barrels of oil had been destroyed,
together with one condensing tank, a
small coal-tai tank and a lot of barrels
which had been laying-near still No. 5.
The damage to the building was consid
erable anti will necessitate an entire re
construction of that part of the works.
The new tank will also have to be rebuilt
as it was twisted out of shape by
the burning of the props sustaining it on
one side. A. coal railway running paral
lel with the stills for 'supplying coal to
the furnaces was also :destroyed, with a
large stock of coal in the yard. Alto
gether tbe• loss la estimated at about
$15,000, upon which there is no !astir;
ance.
ORIGIN OF THE FIRE.
There are many suppositions for the
origin of the fire, but nothing is known
as a certainty beyond the explosion.
About three weeks ago the still broke
down and a slight fire ensued, but it was
fortunately checked before material
damage had been done. It was then re
paired and put in use again. The most
probable supposition is that the still was
worn out and n fit for the work, it
having been in use ot
since the establisti
ment et the works some years ago. It
said the still commenced to leak yes
terday morning, and the - oil dropping
into the furnace caused the oonflaaration.
THE INJURED.
Seven persona were engaged about the
new still at the time of the explosion, all
of whom suffered to some extent. The
most seriously injured were, Henry
Hinkle, residing at 126 South Canal street
Allegheny, burned about the head, and .
Philip Bender, East Liberty, burned on
the arms face and beak very badly. He
has a wife and five children. It is feared
his injuries may result fatally. The oth
ers, Miles Stottler. a member of the firm
erecting the new still, residing rn Man
chester, Jacob Wairalth, Spring Garden
avenue,
avenue, Allegheny. William Brant, Man
cheater. James Megrim, Nineteenth
street, John Weisman, Thirteenth ward,
are all slightly injured. They were all
able to go home without assistance: Dr.
Gil GAZETTE :
Santis, of Lswrenoeville, rendered' all
the medical attention possible in the
ISCIDERTES.
But one of the engines could get into
service at one time, owing to the scarcity
of water. The water was pumped from
the rivei by a small engine connected
with the works, into a tank from whence
the steamer was supplied. The water
could be used only in keening the
wails cool, as the fire was only made
worse when oil and water were thrown
together. The river was too far away
for the steamers to pump from it directly.
The engines all returned to the city but
one as soon as this fact was made appar
ent. The Lawrence Hose Company and
the Independence steamer remained on
the ground all afternoon and did effec
tive service.
The Vigilant steamer, on the way out,
broke a spoke by coming in contact
with a wagon.
The Independent Hose 'carriage was
upset by running into a hole on Penn
street. The foreman, McKenna, was se
verely hurt by being thrown off the car
riage. The vehicle was also damaged,
the lamps being smashed, the axle bent
and the hose drum broken.
As the Hook and Ladder truck was
being drawn to the fire, three of the men,
Edward McCafferty, John McKean and
John McClarren were thrown off on But
ler street and seriously injured.
The damage by the fire will be repair
ed immediately, and the Works put in
running order as usual. In the mean
time the business will not be materially
interfered with as the remaining stills
can be made to supply the wants of the
establishment.
THE COURTS.
Quarter Sesslons—Judge
WEDNESDAY, September 22.—The case
of the Commonwealth vs. W. W. Kee
nan and J. B. Clark, indicted for libel,
was called up for trial on Tuesday. The
Commonwealth was represented by L.
B. Dnff and H. H. McCormick, Bags.,
the defendants by Mr. Swartzwelder and
W. D. Moore, Eggs,
After the jury was called, but before
being sworn, as plea entered, Mr. Swartz
welder moved to quash the indictment
on the grounds:
First —That the article published and
complained of was not libelous.
Second—That the three counts in the
indictment were deibctive, in that the
inuendoes were intended to enlarge the
meaning of the words beyond their or
dinary import and signification.
Third—Tlaat the inuendoes were not
supported by proper averment and in
ducement.
Mr. Swartzwelder then argued the
reasons assigned at lengtn.
Messrs. Duff and McCormick replied
on behalf of the • Commonwealth. and
the. Court reserved its decision until the
opening of CourtlWednesday morning,
when the motion was sustained and the
case ended for the present. We are in
formed that the case , will De carried up
on a writ of error.
The first case taken np was that of the
comonwealth "es Jeremiah Fisher in
dicted for larceny, George. Draken pros
ecutor. The erosecutor alleged that
some time since he left a' carpet sack
containing some articles at the Union
Depot. Where the defendant was jan
itor and that the carpet sack was stolen
subsequently. It is alleged several ar
ticles that were in the carpet sack were
found in the possesion of defendant.
The Jury returned a verdict of guilty
and recomended the defendant to the
mercy of the court. Sentence deferred.
Tne next case taken up was that of the
commonwealth vs. Charles Kohl, in
dicted for felonious assault and battery,
Nicholas Gertner prosecutor. It appears
that the parties worked at Cunning
ham's glass house in Birmingham, when
defendant struck the prosecutor on the
head knocking Wm down, and then
struck him again after he was down.
The jury found that the defendant was
not guilty of , the following charge in the
indictment. but was guilty of unlawful
cutting and wounding the defendant,
Nicholas Gartner. and recommended the
defendant to the mercy of the Court. Mr.
Seibneck, attorney for the defendant,
made an appeal to the Court for leni
ency, asking that the sentence might be
made as light as possible, stating that a
civil suit for damages had been com
menced against the prisoner, and that he
was a poor man, but honest and indus
trious.
Judge Mellon stated that he had deter
mined to pass severe sentences in all
cases of that character, and that they
were becoming entirely too frequent of
late. He would, in this case, which ap
peared to bean exception, make the sen
tence as light as he possibly could. The
defendant was then sentenced to pay the
costa of prosecution, a fee of six and one.
fourth cents, and undergo an imprison
ment in the county work house for a pe
riod of four months.
Charles Gilkey, indicted for Cie larce
ny of a cow from Rebecca Kline, the
prosecutrix, was placed on trial. Mrs.
Kline resides at Turtle Creek, and she
alleges that on the second day of July
her cow was stolen. On trial.
THE TEMPERANCEVILLE HOMICIDE.
In the case of the Commonwealth vs.
Thomas Caroon,charged with the mur
der of Frank Slinecke, the particulars
of which we previously published, Mr.
Marshall, attorney for the defendant,
moved to have the defendant admitted
to bail.
William Craig was called by Mr. More
land, counsel for the prosecution, and
testified that he was present when the
shooting was done. He saw Schnecke
go into the bar room and come out with
u coat on which Caroon 'ordered Mm to
take off, telling him that it . was
not his coat. He (Schnecke) was
slow abotit taking off the coat.
Edward Caroon struck him with his fist.
• Caroon then went into the house and
Schnecke, who was drunk, followed him
in, and while he was standing near the
counter Caroon struck him on the ear
with a glans. He, the witness, attempt
ed to take Schnecke out of the noose,
but could not do it. Shortly after
Schnecke came out and Carman
to the door with a pistol in his hand,
which he pointed toward Schneeke and
witness, who were standing together at
the end of the porch. He t o hen went
back into the house, and subsequently
came out again and started across the
street,' when Schnecke threw a paving
stone at him, whereupon Caroon turned
round-and shot'at him.
John Craig and other witnesses were
called and corroborated the above state
ment.
Mr. Marshall, for the defendant* called
two witnesses, one of whomleafified that
he had heard fikihencke threaten to kill
Caroon before going out of the house.
The matter was submitted to the Court
without argument by counsel. and the
Judge thought it a bailable offense, and
fixed the bail at 510,000.

the success and rising reatnetts of the
liberal parties in all con tries, in Spain,
in England, and the Republican party in
this country—the Republican party .has
been the (party of progress, the party of
reform. It has not proposed a measure
that it has not achieved and become a
part of the Constitution ana law of the
land—everything it has attempted it has
accomplished. It has abolished slavery,
and to the former bondsman thrown
wide the door to manhood, maintained
its liberal principles at the expense of a
war, and all its results have been accom
plished in conformity with the divine
law. The speaker then proceeded to illus
trate tha course of the Democratic party,
showing that the Democratic party from
the beginning, has been opposed to the
Constitution, that they have maintained
the doctrine of State rights,l and that
now, as heretofore, the States rights
question is an important plank in their
platform The gentle an closed with

Emancipation Day
Yesterday the colored residents of our
vicinity engaged heartily in the celebra
tion of Emadcipation day, the anniver
sary of freedom for th colored race in
the United States. The event was of no
ordinary interest to them and had been
the theme of conversation and excite
ment weeks before the festal day rolled
around. As a result, the celebration was
very creditable and the occasion made
memorable by the manner inwhieh it was
, observed. The distinguishing feature
of the affair 'was the procession which
came off in the morning and was partic
ipated in by the various benevolent so- -
cieties among the colored people together
with the military companies, of which
they have two flourishing organizations.
The procession formed at Browns chapel
in Allegheny headed by a brass band,
paraded through the principal streets,
and out to Pleasant Valley Park, where
a pic-nic was in progress. At this shady re
treat about a thousand people had gather
ed and the day was spent in the wood
land with music and feasting,dancing and
speech-maring, and other recreations,
which were engaged in with an enthu
siastic zest by old and young. The ad
dresses on the occasion were made by
Prof. S. A. Neale and a number of others.
As the day drew to a close the Park was
deserted for the festal scene, and the
evening passed with a featival at Excel
sior Hall, which was largely attended.
The celebration throughout was very or
derly, and passed off in a moat herbal)-
, nious manner.

eating the supper he was seized with a

from the city for some two months pre

introduced, and on all sides, admitted to
be one of the most perfect articles extant
for the use of children and misses. It
affords free motion to the limbs and
gives general ease and comfort, improv
ing the health of the wearer. The "Mon
ocrat" skirt has also been introduced by
Mr. Moorhead. It is the only perfect skirt
Made of Balmoral, or muslin, with
watch spring steel hoops combined. The
firm also manufacture'the "Monocrat,"
which we hope will have the opinion of
our readers with our own, regarding it
as the best and most comfortable skirt
introduced. There are many other points
to which we might direct attention in the
goods of this house, such as high colored
gloves, ladles plain and ruffled collars,
lace collars, plain and embroidered hand
kerchiefs, fine hoop skirts, gents furnish

grand fall and winter opening which
now progresses. We commend him as
