Buin Wrought by Fire and Flood on Oil Creak. SOME MEN WHO BECAME HEROES Execution of Murderer McMillan at Wilkesbarre. OTHER TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. RUIN IN THE OIL REGIONS. Counting Up the Loss of Life and Property Yesterday's Disaster. On. Crry, Pa., June 6.—Few of the spectators who were watching the flood when the explo- sions occurred and who escaped can give a good idea of what happened. All agree that there wasa terrific explosion and that the airw.s filled with flames. This was guickly followed by two. other explosions. Men thought that hell had broken loose on earth, and they were not apparently very far out of the way. ‘Three e tanks had exploded almost at the same fime. The oil on the creek blazed up, gas in the air burst into a roaring flame and sheets of water, land and air were all literally ablaze. Men, women and children were knocked pros- trate by the shork, and many never arose. multitude fled with screams of anguish for the higher ground. In the rush many of the weak were trampled upon and badly injured. Some were hurt by horses; others ran, leaped into the water and were drowned. ‘The flames in the air quickly burned out, but they left huge volumes of black smoke across the face of the heavens, beneath which roared the fierce fire of the burning oil upon the water. ‘The many submerged honses and shops along the creek bottom were soon in flames, and the silent fire of blazing’ gas was succeeded by the crac] flames of burning homes. In man: wf these houses the were cont ‘They could not escape for the fire. Within the sight of thousands who heard their piteous screams they burned to death or leaped into the river and there perished by both flood and fire. Such a combination scene of destruction by two terrible elements were seldom witnessed upon this earth. It is marvelous that from this valley of death ef thie ‘minglin ory Mas : strange that out of this mingling ani flood any houses were spared. HARRY M'VEAGH'S STORY. ‘'The'story told by Harry McVeagh, a member of arescuing party who saved a dozen lives, surpasses in horror many of those related by persons who worked only in bri corpses out of ruins, and his words indicate that he be- lieves many of those saved alive would be better with the dead. They are so horribly wounded und burned. “He with Wade Hulings, W. Couch and Albert ‘Smith rowed about the ‘creek in a skiff after the tire had died off its eurface and, reaching the foot bridge crossing at the head of Seneca creek, they found eleven burned per- sons clinging to anything they could catch hold of ine last desperate struggle for life. «Their condition wes horrible,” suid MeVeagh: “I wish that I could close my eyes and shut out the sight. Their clothing was burned off their bodies, their hair was singed and some of them had their eyes buried out, yet a few of them, I believe, wili live,” and the brave fellow breathed a sigh as if he regarded their living as a misfor- tune to themselves. “They clung piteously to us a8 we took them from the bridge into our boats, and the cries they sent up were the most pitiful that ever reached my ears. There were seven men and four women and the appearance of the latter was particularly distracting. We have cared Tor them the best we can, but God pity. them,” and McVeagh turned away and stared at a brick wall as if it shut ont the horrible sight be had witnessed. ‘A HERO WHO GAVE BIS LIFE. One of the heroes who gave his life for that of others was Wm. L. Stewart of Siverlyville, small village about a mile up Oil creek. When the disaster occurred Stewart ran to his home in Siverlyville and a boat to the water's edge. He braved the death that moved on the waters and was one of those who helped to save the west side victims.
