Texas oil Company's West Pnion Warehouse l>e?*troycd. ,? Last Monday afternoon large clouds of black smoke were observ ed east ol' Walhalla, and it wai soon disc livered that the Texas Oil Com pany's warehouse in Wes! I nion was lui ming. The origin of the fire is unknown, but it is supposed that a spark from (he Dine Ridge after noon train may have reached the wooden building and started the Manies. Employees of the company had during the day placed in the ware house a mil carload of kerosene and gasoline, in barrels, and this, with the small' quantity already stored there, was a total loss. The binning oil made a fearful blaze, and th' col umn of black smoke led many to fear a much worse lire than wag in progress. Fortunately, there were no other buildings close to the building occu pied by the Texas Oil Company, and thus tin; flames were co nd ned to the one building. Last Saturday afternoon a .small oil supply house at the plant of the Brown Lumber Company, in West I nion, was destroyed, along with its contents, about three barrels of lu bricating oils. Fortunately no ex plosive oils were stored in this build ing. Only a comparatively few per sons knew of the blaze until after it was ill over. It is thought tho fire originated from a spark from the boiler house. "HELP TO FF IO I) MY PEOPLK." Little Belgium's King Appeals to Generosity of America. London, Oct. 3 1.
