which occurred in the city of Oil City, on

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. We also find
