• Destreietive Fire near Freeport
•••Tke Lneeseo Oil Works Par
- Dolly Destroyed.
On Wednesday, about noon, from some
unforseen cause, a fire broke out in the
Lucesco Oil Works, on the Allegheny Val
ley_ Railroad, nearly opposite Freeport,
and the whole building, a three story brick,
was burned down, together with some
three hundred or more barrels of refined
oil. The. condensing tank, in the rear of.
the receiving house, with about ten per
cent of the condensing pipes, was also de
stroyed. The stills, still further back, the
most valuable portion of the machinery, as
also the engine and retort house (the lat
ter not used in the manufacture of refined
carbon oil, the establishment having been
— built for coal oil) were uninjured.
The fire from the receiving house com
municated to the store of the company t on
the river bank, and by means of the refuse
pitch, which also ignited, to the boarding
house adjoining, and five large oil tanks.
The store and boarding house, frame build
- lags, were destroyed, a portion of the stock
in the former being saved. The iron tanks,
five in number, were capable of holding
three hnhdred barrels each of crude oil.—
One: of these was empty. The wooden
covering. was burned off and, singularly
enough, the contents of one tank, and one
fourth of the oil in another, was saved.—
The total loss in crude oil is between 1,500
and 1,800 barrels. The huge tanks (made
to hold 6,000 barrels each) recently built
for the company, escaped.
A bridge over a small ravine, was also
deitroyed, delaying the trains of the Alle
gheny Valley Railroad, which pass over it,
some two hours.
All efforts to ascertain the origin of the
fire were unavailing. Two men were about
the works. One had just left the receiv
ing house and the other was approaching
it, when both felt a shock, as ot an explo
sion, and, looking around, found the inte
rior of the building in flames.
The loss on the store and hoarding house
is fully covered by insurance, and SIO,OXIO
will repair all other damages. The build
ings 4111 be replaced within three weeks,
and meanwhile the business of the compa
ny Will suffer no interruption, as they have
enough stock on hand to fill all orders.

ALLEGHENY CITY, May 8, 1 . 6;2.
Mears. Isaiah - Dickey, James Park, Jr.,
and_W. Creery :
GENTuraxx—l have just received your
note requesting me to repeat my narrative
of the recent expedition sent out by your
Board of Trade to the Tennessee River to
look after our sick and wounded soldiers.
Were Ito consult my own feelings. I would.
beg you to excuse me, under the convic
tion that what I have written is really not
j
worthy of repetition. But if, in the udg:-
meat of the Board of Trade, it is likely
to dO sly good and, in the least degree,
cari — be made to promote the comfort and
;welfare of those noble men who have im
perilled everything and lost so much in the
defer* of our beloved country, I will set
aside my own judgment and feelings and
comply with your request. I will throw
'the - two lectures into one, make some al
tibritione and additions, which have since
come to my mind, and hold myself io
readiness to deliverit at any time and place
yon - may designate.
Tours, truly,
W. D. HOWARD.
The lecture will probably he delivered
on Monday evening next.

serveral, of ids ribs and drove some of the
idecsainto the substance of the lung. By
a 'Wilful 'operation, Dr. Pollock removed
the fragments of bone from the lungs, one
of which was about two inches in length.
It is believed by Drs. M'Meal, Pollock
and T. W. Shaw, the attending physicians
sir he will recover, as he is
midi better since the operation. -
The Teen 114-espeet.
There has never within. our recollection
been abetter prospect for a bountiful fruit
crop, at this season of the year, than at
present. The apple, peach, pear and plum
trees are unusually full of blossoms but
none more so than the cherry trees, all of
whit:looth large and small, seem literally
covistertivith sheen of white dowers, in
w e' mo - of jart :extraordinary yield. We

bait ,
On Wednesday taglitfisatair-bnat on
itor, a small craft owned by William t il
worth A Co, was ran WAS by the stealer
Allegheny Belle, a short,distance, above
the city, on the - Allegheny riveronikiag a
wide breach in her side and causing her to
sink, almost immediately, in deep . water.
We did not learn the extent of the loss or
whether the boat was loaded. The rumor
that the "Monitor" had been• run into by
another vessel and sunk, freely circulated
through the streets, by those always on the
alert for a "sell," created some excite
ment and gave rise to a belies in some
quarters that the Ericsson steamier haftin-
deed gone down to the bottom of the sea.
Fatal Ataideat.
On Wednesday a man named Henry M.
Moon, employed at Newmyer & Graff's
axe and shovel factory, in the Fourth
Ward, Allegheny, met with an accident
which resulted in his death on the follow
ing day. He was polishing an axe on a
stone revolving by steam, when it caught
in some manner and was thrown violent
ly toward him, striking him on the fore
head and causing a fracture of the skull,
from which he died at an early hour yes
terday morning. Deceased was a Married"
man, twenty-five years of age, but boarded
in Allegheny City, his wife, from whom be
has separated, living at Pine Creek. Coro
ner McClung held an inquest and a ver
dict was rendered in accordance with the
facts.
Recovery of Stolen Goods.
Officer Pender and Fredericks last even
ing visited a house on Seventh street,
which they searched and found the valua
bles noticed elsewhere as having been sto
len from Mr. James Blaekmore on Satur
day evening ; a demijohn, pitcher; several
bottles of liquors and tone of the.trtmks ta
ken from Duffy's tavern; part of a bag of
coffee, a crock of lard, twosetts of harness,
a lot of keys, &c. It seems that the goods
were taken by Roth and Heir, referred to
in another item as having been committed
by Mayor Drum under suspicious circum
stances, and left by them at. Roth's house
where they were found. Roth, whose
real name is Rudolf. was released from the
Penitentiary about a month since. Later
in the evening, another German, named
Miller, was arrested in the Ninth Ward,
with another lot of coffee in his possession.
He has also finished a term inthe Peniten
tiary recently. He is in confinement,
awaiting a hearing.
Disabled Pen asylvania Soldier*
On Tuesday a steam transport arrived
at New York from Ship Point, having on
board one hundred and eighty-seven sick,
disabled and wounded soldiers, left at
Yorktown by General McClellan. Of
these thin v-nine were Pennsylvanians,
belonging to the 21st, 23d, 31st, 51st, 53d,
61st, 96th. 98th and 104th regiments. We
observe no familiar names, and it is not
probable that any from this vicinity are
among them.
At Williamsburg.
Sickles' Excelsior Brigade participated
in the recent battle at Williamsburg, and.
according to the telegraph, lost heavily,
The brigade has in it two Pittsburgh com
panies, the'Friend Rifles and Capt. Glass'

on Tuesday next for Pittsburg Landing to
join his regiment. He will convey letters
and packages left at No. 112 Grant street
and also desires to enlist a few recruits,
having received special instructions to do
so from Capt. Dodge.
Rebel Relies.
The llarrisbnrg Patriot and Union says
that Dr. A. H. Gross, late member of the
Assembly from this county, and one of the
reserve corps of surgeons, had passed
through that city on his way home, having
in his possession several relics—among
them a bayonet, picked up inside the rebel
works at Yorktown.
Change of Command.
By the list of naval appointments we
notice that I.ieut. Alex. Murray, of this
city, has been detached by the Navy De
partment from the Louisiana,
and ordered
to the command of the United States steam
gunboat Sebago.
Slight. Fire.
The alarm of fire yesterday afternoon
about two o'clock was caused by the igni
turn of a kettle of roofing mixture in front
of a stable in the rear of the Eagle Hotel,
Liberty street, it having been upset .into
the fire by a runaway horse. A great
smoke was produced, but no damage was
done.
Hunting a Doctor.

jail, charged with "intent to commit a fel
ony," Charles Roth and Henry . Heierytaio
Germans arrested for entering various
houses in Allegheny, under pretense of

A Big Beare in Cairo.
CAIRO, May 7
Our city was thrown into a state of fer
ment and excitement last evening, by a re
port'that Paducah had been captured. It
turned out to be a big scare.. Some of
Curtis' Cavalry, out on a reconnoissance
from Fort Heiman, encountered some of
Clay King's rebel Cavalry. It was report
ed that he had captured about two hundred
of our men. Some of our men escaped
and came into Paducah, and reported that
Clay King followed them to the edge of
the town. General Strong immediately
sent two regiments to reinforce Colonel
Noble.
The steamer Liberty passed by here to
day without stopping. General Strong at.
once sent a steamer after her and placed
the officers under arrest. ItNvas a misun
derstanding on the part of the captain.
He lauded some coal barges about a
mile above town, and was on his way to
get some empty barges. His employers
are furnishing coal to the government.
Nothing of importance to-day from the
Tennessee river. Skirmishes still contin
ue between our advance pickets and those
of the enemy. Some of our cavalry made
a charge on some rebel pickets and drove
them back, and discovered, as they sup.
posed, on the opposite side of the creek,
two pieces of artillery; but when they capi.
tured them they turned out to be wooden
ones.
Our forces are still on the advance
