By little short of a miracle this city was saved from -another disastrous conflagra- ton, which might have been almost as destructive as the Knox fire of some weeks ago. That the fire which consumed the oil establishment of the Nicolai Brothers, at the corner of K street and the James Creek canal southwest, was confined to that Place and did not spread over a larger ter- ritory was due solely to the fact that the wind, which blew quite strong at the time, was from the southeast, a little to the east. This kept the flames streaming west- ward, and out of the way of one of the largest gas tanks in the city. The fact that the fire was raging was briefly mentioned in The Star last even- ing, and at that time it appeared as though @ general conflagration was threatened. The gas tank was growing hot, and the east end of a row of small brick dwellings adjoining the Nicolai ofl plant had already —~—.— BUY HERE AND SAVE MONEY.

The center of al! was the great volume of dense smoke which rolled g@indly, though tLreateningly, upward from the blazing pile of oil barrels an¢ tanks. Uccastonaily a puff of wind would sweep away the smoke for a moment, to reveal the whirling, boiling, seething flames at the center. ‘he oil burned fiercely, as only that substance can burn, and produced an intensely not fire, so hot that the firemen could not approach close enough tc do any effective work until the flames had consumed practically every- thing combustible. It was by a happy chance that the fire laddies succeeded in running a line of hose into the alley be- tween I and K streets, between the old row of occupied buildings and a new row that has just been finished.

This quickly quenched the fire, and for half an hour a stream was kept steadily at work on the edge of the roof, which, being next to the furnace raging on the east, was the most vulnerable point. The smoke that poured skyward was of the blackest, and towered high, spreading over the entire southern and western section of the city. ‘This sign of a blaze appeared in the southern sky as by magic.

Once there was a little shifting of the wind thet swung the pillar of flame and smoke nearer to the great tank, and the crowd, scenting the danger, rolled back across the bridge as in a panic, only to re- turn later. The firemen had the greatest difficulty in getting near to the blaze, and several groups of the brave fellows were to be seen behind improvised bulwarks, with their hose thrust through apertures. One gang of hosemen lay flat on their stomachs be- hind a little sand heap on the bank of the canal. Another secured the bow deck of an old abandoned boat, and, using the mast hole for a port, turned this barrier up on edge and fought the flames like a company of ancient arrowmen.

Just after the firemen got into K street a tall man, with a broad-brimmed felt hat, caused considerable excitement by rushing to the middle of the bridge and shouting out to a policeman some incoherent direc- tions to the best way to fight the fire. He insisted on going to where the firemen were working, and was dragged back sev- eral times, until Sergt. Daley, who was in charge of the mea, fancied that he detected @ resemblance to a man who escaped a few days ago from St. Elizabeth's. Giving the officer the wink, he told the latter to take the min, who said repeatedly that he was from West Virginia, to the chief fireman. This satisfied the fellow, afd he and the policervan started down the hot street on a dead run, the countryman in the van. With a wild leap he cleared a telephone wire that had burned down nd was stretched across the street, and went through the crowd like a knife through a cheese. At last the policeman overtook him and escorted him to the fourth precinct station, where he gave his name as Chas. Lynch. He gave a coherent account of himself later, and, it being ascertained that he wes not the escaped lunatic, he was al- lowed to go. His naturally nervous tem- perament had been overbalanced for the time by the fire, aided by a bit of fire- water. Ort of the Fire. When the flames began to die out of their own accord—for nothing could exhaust them but the failure of the oil—there were expla- nations made as to the cause of the fire. One of the proprietors, Lawrence Nicolai, was at the home of his father-in-law, Mr. Gregory, on Q street northwest, when the fire broke out, and arrived after it was nearly out. ‘The other owner, his bzother, Charles Nicolai, was in Baltimore. ‘The clerks said that all they knew was a sud- den burst of flame and then a mad rush for the outer alr. George Nelson, a bricklayer, was under the buflding repairing un unde:- pinning when he was suddenly aware of cries of fire, and he had just time to creep out into ssfety, and that was all. Fritz Benton, employed in the cooper shop of the establishment, heard a slight explosion like the report of a pistol, and when he raised his head he saw the flames coming from every direction. There was a stozy that a man wes rolling in a barrel of gasoline, when it cxploded, and thus the fire was started, but this was denied by the officers of the company, who said that though a tank 4) gallons of gasoline had been received during the day, it was put into the building with safety, and that none was handled again during the day. It is thought that the fire was the result of spontaneous combustion. ‘There is no better or moze cir- cumstantial theory at hand. The Probable Loxs, The toss from ‘stock was probably not over $5,000, although much higher figures have been given, ranging from $25,000 to $55,000, these sums including structure, tanks ani empty barrels. The insurance is said to amount to but $7,000, Several wagons were completely desiroyed. The only thing of value saved was the great safe, which, after the first rush out of the building, was rolied over and over into the street by a gang of a dozen men, like a dry goods box. There it lay just out of the reach of che flames, until the fire had abated sufficiently to allow it to be approached, and it was then found that the combina- tion had not been set. Although this property was located in a comparatively vacant section of the city, there is considerable value very near it! As stated, the gas retort is just across the street, while the great plant of the Stand- ard Oil Company is across the canal and a few hundred fect up the bank. The Ran- dall_ school buil olai plant, and the Penn- sylvania railroad roundhouse is but a short distance to the north. By 4:30 the oil had been all burned and there were left only a few piles of burned barrels, a smokestack, and the tottering forms of the five great oil tanks that form- ed the center of the establishment. For- tunately these tanks were uncovered when the fire broke out, or there would have been an explosion from each of them, scattering the oil in every direction. FAREWELL TO A PASTOR. Pleasant Occasion at the Mt. Pleasant Congregational Church. The congregation of the Mount Pleasant Congregational Church met in the audience room of the edifice last night to bid fare- well to the Rey. Charles H. Small, who for nine years has been the pastor of the church. Gen. Spear called the people to order, and spoke briefly, as the president of the church society, about the labors of Mr. Small among them, and of the esteem in which Mrs. Small, as well as her husband, was regarded. He was followed by Mr. F. L. Campbell, a trustee, and J. W. Somer. vil@ superintendent of the Sunday school, who brought out the fact that the church had increased during Mr. Small’s pastorate from_a membership of 1 to 128, and that the Sunday school had increased from 34 scholars to 268, while there were many other signs of material prosperity. Mr. Small replied to the address in a pleasant way, and briefly reviewed his work, closing ‘with expressions of regret that he felt it best to accept the new call which he had received. Mr. Small goes to Hudeon, a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio. ———__ EXCURSIONS, Marshall Hall will be a quiet retreat from the city for a day of recreation tomorrow.
