KILLED BJ LIOHTSINO.
The people of this community were
saddened by the news, shortly after six
O'clock last Wednesday avenin f
the death of Martin Vockroth by ,
. -J
stroke ot lightning. In company with
Wm. Diekrager, he had been at work
on tbe roof of Ilenrv Kiaor'. M.
barn, German Hill, and the two were
driven in by the storm. They were
standing on tbe lower floor, Martin
leaning with his back against the
arge doors, and William standing in
iront or him about threo feet awav,
ine Dolt seemed to have followed the
boards of tbe door down. William,
who must have been dazed for an in
stant, caught his unfortunate com nan
ion just as he was sinking to the floor.
He immediately gave the alarm, and
Dr. Rumberger of this place, was
summoned, but from marks found on
the body the Doctor thinks death was
ustantaoeous.
As can be imagined the shock to
Mr. Vorkroth's friends and relatives
was very great, and to his young and
uotuiou who uouuiy so. lie was one
of tbe most popular young men of his
community in all respects. Socially,
oi a very genial and pleasant disposi
tion, in integrity, energy and industry,
looked upon as well nigh perfection.
He will be greatly missed by all who
knew bim
On February 9tb, 1891. Martin R,
Vockroth was happily united in mar
riage with Miss Emma E., daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Henry W. Ledebur of
Last Hickory, tbe union being a par
ticularly felicitous one, each seeming
to be btted for the other. To the
stricken young wife, and the babe
ged about four months thus left
fatherless, tbe heartfelt sympathy of a
arge circle of friends goes out in
loviog tenderness in this sudden be
reavement.

150 Lives Lost.
In all the history of Western Penn
syivania It has never been the lot of
the journalist or historian to record
such a calamity Johnstown excepted
as bas befallen the cities of Titus
ville and Oil City. And in some re
epects it distances that that befell
Johnstown. There are features of this
disaster that are still more terrible
than auy recorded at that time -and
thai hardly seemed possible.
xn musvuie the loss of life is not
fully known. Oo Monday evening 54
bodies had been recovered, and it is
feared nearly as many more are yet In
the debris.
The loss in property is fully $2,000,-
000 in Titusville alone.
In Oil City the loss of life is not so
great as in the other city, but still it is
fearful to think of. 39 dead bodies
have, so far, been recovered. The
number of missing is estimated at 25.
The loss of property in Oil City is
tully $1,000,000. In both cities many
of the dead recovered are so buroed
as to be altogether unrecognizable.
Many have been identified more by
the place where they have been found
than by any trace of features or clothes.

great deal has been done to open up
me streets and restore something like
order, tbe scene is one of awful desola
tion and ruin and death. One should
see it to be able to appreciate it, and
even then it roust be regarded from
many points of view, and approached
from many sides, and many details
must be considered before anvthioir
like even a tolerable apprehension of
the awfulness of tbe calamity presents
itself to the eye aud mind. It is too
huge and vast to be taken in in a gen
eral view, or at one sween of tha via.
ion, even if one were placed so as to
have tbe whole awful field of disaster
and death spread out where the eye
could consider it at one glance. The
Demon of Ruin and Wrath with tbe
awful elements of water and fire at his
command seemed to bold unrestricted
sway, and desolation marks his foot
steps. Tbe details of this sad visita
tion it would require volumes, almost,
to contain, but we will endeavor to
present a condensed account for the
benefit of the Republican.
On last Saturday afternoon a heavv
rainfall occurred at and around Corrv.
and in that section of country gener
ally. It began to fall at 2 o'clock in
the afternoon and continued without
cessation until near midnight, increas
,ufc " iuvcuaiir n me auemoon wore
away and evening came on. By
nine o'clock in tbe evening water two
leet deep was running past the deno
there, and while no lives were lost in
Corry the damage to property was
fully $150,000 dollars. Tbe water
from tbia awful rain storm finallv
found its way iuto the Conewango
creen mat empties into the Allegheny
at Warren, into the Brokeostraw that
empties at Irvioeton, into Freuck
Creek, and into Oil Creek where such
sad havoc was wrought. By eleven
o clock in the evening on Saturday
the water in Oil Creek at Titusville
bad risen until danger was feared.
But no damage had been done. Above
Titusville 3 miles, at Centieville, there
was a small dam across Oil Creek.
and at bpartansburg, 14 miles farther
up, a largei one, with a bead of 8 feel
and covering about 200 acres. Yield
leg to the tremendous rush of water
that was pouriug iuto and through and
over it tbe dam at Spartansburg gave
way and as tbe waters hurried down
the creek thus reinforced tbe Centre-
ville dam too was carried away. Tbis
rush of water reached Titusville at 2
o'clock, or near that time, Sunday
morning. No warning bad preceded
it aud so no measures had been taken
to forestall this new danicr. Oil
ieeK flows through Titusville a dia
tce of more than two miles, or rath
er ior that distance is Titusville built
aloDg the creek. The city is built all
on side of the creek, the other side
being a steep bluff" with no room for
building on the creek's bank. Oil
creek is about the size of Tionesta
creek, and here was probably 200 feet
wide. On tbe city side tbe ground is
flat, gradually rising as one goes back
froai the creek tj tbe foot uf ih
fully half a mile away. Front street
runs along tbe creek, in a general
way being parallel to tbe creek, but
at the same time being a very irregu
lar street. Next and parallel to this
street was Mechanic, quite irregular
also in its make up next running in
the same direction was Spring street.
Running at right angles to these and
the creek and crossing them all at
about the middle of the length of the
streets was Franklin street. These
three streets running up along the
creek contained tha
the manufacturing plants and many
of tbe business bouses of the citv

When the flood came everything went

could withstand its terrible strength

passed as this terrible scene was being
enacted, when tbe noise of a terrific
explosion, and then another, were
added to the awful din then razine-
Hardly had the noise of the explosion
died away when a more terrible and
terrifying cry arose above tbe roar of
tbe torrent than had yet been heard,
though that might have seemed im
possible a moment before; it was that
of "Fire, fire I" And then the dark-
ness was lit up by tongues of flame
that told of teo-iold horror to be
added to the agonizing scene beiDg
enacted in this awful drama of death
How tbe fire originated is a mystery

gone by. Refineries took fire, aud in
about an hour, at 4 o'clock in the
moroiog, the first oil tank exploded.
juore terrible became the situation.
ureal clouds of black smoke hung
over tbe city like a pall. The flames
enwrapped building after building,
Houses floated down tbe mad creek,
tbe names tbat consumed tbem light
ng their pathway. Above the roar of
the waters, the cracking of the flames,
and the crash of floating and breaking
nouses, arose cries from those who saw
their own dear ones thus borne awav
to an awful death, cr tbe shrieks and
prayers of these as the hot fires or the
cold waters suddenly stifled their cries
iu death their voices thus suddenly
stilled to human earthly ears forever,
An effort was made to check the fire
and it was successful. But for hours
the work of the flames was terrific
uuildings burned down to where the
waters stood around aud in tbem. On
tbe floors of houses thus buroed, and
inside tbe little remnaut of wall thus
left, tbe remains of many an unfortu
nate is found. Many lost might, and
could have escaped bad it not been for
tbe fire. Sometimes only part of a
body is found and that resembles a
cinder more than a part of a human
body. The tales of heroism displayed
oo that awful night and the following
day are many. More than one life
was lost in tbe effort to rescue another.
Tbe scenes witnessed at the places that
were converted into morgues were very
sad. One man stood outside one of
these buildings crying as only a stroDg
man with a brokeu heart might cry.
Inside lay his wife and two children,
all bis family, dead. In another place
a woman lay under a sheet and beside
her eight children, scarred and burn
ed they all were, fire aud water jointly
had contributed to tbetr death ; beside
tbem with a grief that had dazed bim
aud seemed to lend him a false courage
tor tbe time stood the huhband and
father. All his family goue, except a
girl who was away from home at the
time.
What is presented in the foregoiug
report concerning the city of Titus
ville, would answer just as w ell for a
description of the coudition of affairs
at Oil City, the two disasters btsiug
uearly identical, aud the results al
most precisely similar. Ileucean ac
count of it wuulJ ouly to a irptiitiou 1
of what has already been written.
We present to those of our readers
who have not had access to the daily
papers, a supplement giving a gran!
account of Oil City's calamity with
many details, as well as much concern
ing the condition of things at Titus
