The Chronicle ?^ays.ttsri ginee the 10th of April, 1845, there bas been nb'mich conflagration there. The sud? denness-?? tte calamity, its appalling swift nejat'lfci strange manner of its origin, and the terribie magnitude of its results, render this fire almost without a parallel in the experience The loss of human life marked the and the destruction of property was doo?, yet fearful as was the oc currence^ lt^eems a miracle that lt was not moir? Tearful, so- narrow were the many es capea^'a* so Impetuous the.flames. .T/.? i aa i. A THE STORM. .Shortly after two o'clock In the afternoon the sky became overcast with dense clouds,.and there.were evidences of an approaching heavy storm. A few Minutes before three, persons who wore in the more elevated portions of the saw even real a great disaster was Impending. One n weat, .upon .the Mechanic . street e better to see and enjoy the grand .the storm presented. -While he-looked up th? ri TO-ho saw a magul ll cent bolt of leap from the sky, and descend the earth in the vicinity , of the bridge. A3 lt neared the. earth and a second afterwards great -flaue shot, up into the air to a ynec to him, of a hundred feet. Then ln?to-> i fm.t of black smoke rose straight to tte sky, -ant. as - they seemed to touch the ra^eftrtpj, Bpread out Into white vapor, as if healed to* a white heat. All the statements agreeptat the lightning simultaneously struck twQ tanks of olL but the majority of the wit? nesses aver that four tanks, belonging respec tivoli to the Citizens', the Eclipse, Foray the BrtAtftnd the National refineries, were struck by th* sam o divided bolt. Be this as It may, these tanks wen? In flames almost, ii not quite, at the same Instant Each exploded, and the oil, fal sheets tad torrents of flame, ran out over the earth in all directions. There was ?oe thing for human beings to do then, " was to escape from the swift pursuit as best they might. It would have been as wise to attempt to stop a flood of lava as that flaming oil. '? PROGRESS OF THE PIRE. As" Mon as possible an alarm was struck and the department, except two engines left in town for emergencies, were on their way to the fire very promptly. In the meantime the " were making fearful progress. The of the tanks struck, and the one which t the most desolation, was a huge .thousand barrel tank on Eclipse prem? ises. This tank contained eighteen thousand Darrels, at the time. It exploded with a terrific report. .An Immense column of flame rose to a;.gr?at height In the air, and in an instant hroad streams of burning oil were rushing oown toward the river and along the Sharps burg wad to the bridge. The works were sit uated fat the corner of the main road and the road that leads to the bridge. Between the Works and the river stood the splendid resi? dence of Dr. Tweddie, the principal owner of the refinery.. One great stream oi fire ran swliUvto the house and poured into the cel Sfnjiag it almost Instantly. A servant girl gone into the cellar as .a place of refuge Ma the lightning. She had barely time to """ np tile stairs with her Ufe. Her cloth on Are,-and she was somewhat burned. Adie was in town at the time, and Mrs. TweddTe waa In the house with her little boy. whose birthday it was. and three little children of Mr. Tr P. Lockhart, who were spending the day at the house. 0 She -instantly ran out with tiiecWJdrert, but the smoke was blinding and tiwy^hecame separated. Mrs. T. was saved by * gentleman, who took her away. The chlf dxen.kept. together and fell Into aa old boat, eomijmtely saturating their clothing with oil rescued and. taken to the house where Mea-Twedole had found refuge. Bad tire-party remained a moment longer In the h.ouee?they could not have escaped. The house waa swiftly .consumed,. not au article being saved. 1 . ?^/jt^. j THC BRIDGE BURNED. In .' the meantime another terrent of dre roshed along the roadway to the bridge, and afead? its way Bwlftly across it In little more than a minute from the time the oil first reach? ed it? the wooden structure was in flames from one-end to the other, and in less than t-a minutes lt was entirely consumed, only the piers being left standing. Parties who were mttbagAom the fire had ron upon the bridge, only toiflnd themselves pursued by fiery death. They had a terrible race for Ute to the other end. 8ome of the people of Sharpsburg had - 8taEtod across the bridge to see the fire, but wwetiueti midway by the flames, and bad to run at top speed back again. Fortunately no one was hort here. TITK ECLIPSE WORKS formed the centre of the conflagration. The property was owned principally by Dr. Twed dle, and occupied about ten acres of ground. The works were considered among the finest In - the world. The establishment was in full running operation at the time. The Haines spread about, and In a few moments lapped up all on the grounds. Another tank contained two thousand four hundred barrels crude oil another- six hundred barrels refined, a third one thousand barrels topaz oil, which, togeth er' with fifty tons ol paranne, packed and ready {or .shipment, were all consumed. The engineer of the works, Alonzo Kennedy, had jost fitted the bottlers, six In all. with water, wtMBVlm waa compelled, to flee. The heat soon ntNfrvteam, and a terrible hissing sound was heard for. a long time. Fortunately the boilers did not explode. The works and everything belonging to them were utterly destroyed, together with Dr. %f residence. THE CITIZENS' WORKS are located immediately above the bridge, and occupied several acres of ground. They were in operation at the timo, and a large <rnan tl ty of ol i, refined and crude, was con? tained in the tanks, io hheds and barrels about the premises. Between them and the EcUpse was the road, which turned a bend here to en? ter the, bridge leading to Sharpsburg. The works had s capacity of ten thousand barrels per month. The tank that was struck here contained eight hundred barrels. Within a ^few feet of this small tank were two others, much larger, one of which contained two thousand barrels of good oil, and the other about six hundred barrels of B. S. The heat soon had Its effect upon these. The first to take fire was that containing two thousand barrels. It burned with great fierceness for some time, and finally Ignited the other. The three tanks were thus Darning at one time, together with the barrels in the sheds, set? tling pans filled with oil, several small stills and the wood-work of the refinery within reach. Located but a few feet away from these three tanks was another half buried in the ground and filled with oil. Still beyond it was oil In barrels-tank and barrels together containing $40,000 worth ot oil. It was Teared at one time that this would go, but the tank stood the test About half the works were destroyed, and nearly all the stock. The Citi? zens' was built a number of years ago, and was a substantial brick structure. THE DEVASTATION BELOW. All this while the burning oil from the four exploded tanks was running in streams down to the river bank and along the line of the shore, carrying destruction with lt. At times a considerable portion of tho surrace of the Alleghany river was a sheet of fire, where the oil had run upon lt The destruction along the crack of the Alleghany Valley Railroad was very complete. The rails forming the tracks were bent Into all kinds of shapes by the ex? treme beat, while the ties for several hundred feet were reduced to ashes. About a quarter of a mlle ol the Alleghany Valley road, to? gether with the station-house at this point, was destroyed. In front of the Citizens' refin? ery several tank cars loaded with oil bad ar? rived during the morning. ?These were soon on fire, and the cars, wi th about $800 worth of oil, consumed. The company lose the cars, platform and track. 1HE NEXT REFINERY below the Eclipse was that or the Forsythe Brothers. As we have said, the lightning struck here, too. The tank struck contained about three thousand barrels of crude oil, which, together with the Oil, fell a prey to tha flames. Fortunately, the fire did not commu? nicate to any other part of these works, al? though there was plenty to feed the blaze If it had got In among the large tanks on the ground. THE ASTRA!, REFINERY, owned by Mr. John B. Bell, was next below the Forsvthe Bros. It was not as large as some of thc others, and had been erected al? most seven years ago. ' Nevertheless, lt was complete lu all its appointments and was valu? able. Mr. Bell had not been running bis works for. nearly two years. He r -<, however, a lot of oil and barrels on hand, and everything ready to commence operations at any moment. The nre was enough for the works. They were > not struck by the lightning, bat it is supposed caught fire from the sparks from some of the other bnicing masses about. The flames made short work of the -A s tra!." Nothing was lea bot. the barrel house-machinery, tanks, build? ings and oil being consumed in an incredibly short space of time. The fire here was, as in other places, sure and steady, and exhibited no peculiar elements. No men were about the es? tablishment. The next was the" Anchor Refinery, owned by Messrs. Dil worth & Bra, located below and next to Bell's. A tank in lt caught fire and was consumed. It contained several thousand bar? rels of crude oil. The remainder of the works was preserved. Cochran's oil yard was the next. This was used as a storage yard, and contained only tanks. One of them, containing about 4000 barrels of oil, was destroyed. It caught fire /mm the flames which spread out from the National Storing Company's premises, Just be? low: This was the extent of the conflagration. The National is a stock company, owned by a number of citizens, and was organized several years ago. Mr. Arthur Kirk ls one o? the prin? cipal managers. Itia also under control of a bo?rd of directors. The place consists of a re? finery and storage yard. It is located hair a mlle below the Citizens' Refinery-these two being the extremes of the fire. "When the lightning separated, as heretofore noted, one of the balls struck a tank of the National. It was in flames simultaneously with the Citi? zens' and Dr. Tweddle's. The tank contained a large quantity of oil-how much could not be directly ascertained. From the tank to thc settling pans, in which'was 1000 barrels of oil, then to the agitating house, and finally to other and smaller tanks, the flames sped, and tbe premises were, In a few moments, all on fire. Nearly all the works and oil in this es? tablishment were destroyed. The barrel house was all that remained, and a sm ill portion of the works near the river. . The. conflagration proceeded no further. There were other large refineries below, but fortunately there was a goodly space interven? ing, and the heat was not sufficient to set them on fire. lu its course the destructive agent had enveloped four refineries, together with tanks in a storage yard and In two other refineries. BORNEO TO DEATH. By far the saddest Incident connected with this most disastrous conflagration, was the death of Mr. Henry B. Foster, clerk In Dr. Tweddle's office. As soon as Dr. Tweddle re? turned from town he made inquiries as to his employees, and learned that Mr. Foster was missing. No effort could be made to save him,'and his friends could only walt. Subse? quently it was stated that Mr. Foster had been seen and was all right. This, sadly enough, was disproved by the event Last seen he was In the office, which oaught fire as soon as the first tank burst. It ls supposed that he was so severely shocked with the electricity that he could not make his escape from the build? ing. He was the father-in-law of Mr. Butter? field, the attorney, was aged about 53 years, and leaves a family. His charred remains were recovered about 5 o'clock. Deceased was a brother of Stephen C. Foster, the com? poser. LOSSES AND INSURANCE. Dr. Tweddle estimates the total loss at his place at about $330,000, on which he has an In? surance of $60,000. His loss on the buildings and oil macnlnery was about $150,000, and on oil $80,000, and on paratine and machinery $100.000. The loss at the Citizens' Works was estimated at $20,000 early last evening, but it was not improbable tbat their buildings might be destroyed. This company is pretty fullyln sured. The loe; of Forsythe Brothers, by burning of a tank, ls estimated at $15,000, on which there ls no insurance. The Astral Oil Works lost $50,000; Blight Insurance. The loss of Dllworth Brothers ls probably not over $1200. The loss of the National Works will likely be upwards of $20,000. Eight cars of crude oil standing on the track of the Alle ghany Valley Railroad, In front of the Citizens' ll Refinery, were burned, and also the same number at one of the refineries below. The Sharpsburg Bridge was Insured for $35,000. The most of the property destroyed was in? sured in Eastern companies. COMMERCIAL NEWS.

Incompetence and assurance generally go hand In hand, and of all the tribe of pretentious know-nothings with which society is afflicted, the unscientific "medicine men" who attempt to tamper with the health of the community are the most dangerous and the most impudent. So much by way of test. Now for a special and particular application. It appears that a mushroom growth of so-called "Bitters" ls springing up under different names in various localities, particularly in the Southern i and Western States, which the venders have the hardihood to recommend to easy-going people j upon whom they think they can impose, as a snb ! BtltUte for HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS, long recognized by every class as the pnrest and best medicated stimulant and lnvigorant the world affords. The concoctions rcrerred to being composed or worthless materials, offer a larger margin for profit than that Celebrated Tonic, and hence the anxiety of dollar-worshipping dealers to foist them upon the public in its place. But "forewarned is forearmed," and all par? ties whom these distinguished (?) beings are en? deavoring to coax and inveigle into substituting trash for a standard remedy, are hereby Inform? ed of the seiflshjjnd sordid motives which under? lie the representations in question. The great popularity and vast sales of HOSTET?
