We find the explo- sions to have resulted from the igniting of the naptha tloating on the surface of Oil creek, and that the fire was accidentally communicated from the Dewdrop refinery or locomotive No. 83, of the W., N.

When the flood was at its height, a tang contain- ing about 15,000 to 17,000 barrels of naptha gave way, precipitating its contents into the Water. of the creek. The naptha being lighter than the water, spread over the sur- face for a distance of about two miles, in- | cluding the inundated portion of the city.

The naptha which coused this awful de- struction of life and property belonged to the Hclipse Lubricating Oil company, of Franklin, Pa., and was stored in a tank on the bank of Oil creek on the Cornplanter farm, near McClintockville, where it was built about four years previous to this time. At the time of its construction the tank was from 20 to 30 feet from the ordinary high-water mark in the creek, but this di stance had been gradually reduced by the action of the water prior fo this flood to be- tween 6 and 10 feet and this flood further washed away the ground up fo and under the tank, a distance of from 15 to 20 feet. A part of the tank bottom thus being left without support. tore out, allowing the naptha to escape into the creek, The evi- dence of the watchman, James Marsh, shows that he realized danger from the undermining of feeble effort provious to this flood to protect it by throwing loose stones between the tank and the creek. ‘The jury find from the evidence that all ersons owning and having in custody this nk and its contents are guilty of gross carelessness in permitting it, while filled | with naptha, to stand without proper pro- (fection from fire and water.
