OIL TANKS STRUCK BV LIGHTNINO. Three Firemca Dead aad Maay Hart ia Philadelphia. Phladclpbia (Special).—During a severe electrical Horn) lightning struck a benzine tank at tlte Atlantic Oil Refining Company's works, at Point Brcrre, in the southwestern section of the city. Four oil tanks were ignited by the blaze from the-benzine tank and the five were destroyed with their contents’; also 63.000 barrels of oil and 28,000 barrels of ben-

zine.

While a large force of firemen were endeavoring to check the fire in a nest of burning oil tanks at 12.30 a. m. an immense tank ol benzine exploded. Many firemen were in proximity to the tank and fell victims to the blazing oil and fiying pieces of iron. Three or Tour were killed and many were badly burned before they could be rescued by their more foiaunate com-

panions.

A general aall was telegraphed for ambulance* and patrol wagons, and the injured were hunied to the hospitals in the lower end of the citv. The men were horribly burned and

their bodies mutilated.

The bodies were bardly recognizable when brought to the morgue. Some of

the injured will die.

Ten or twelve tanks of benzine and pe-

troleum were destroyed. The fire, it is thought, will not burn itself out for several days. The loss, it is estimated, will

reach probably a half million dollars. FIRST FIGHT AT ENCONRTADOS.

Expects Big Grata Exports. United States from the sale of wheat and wheat flour abroad during the 12 months beginning July t of this year. This is an unofficial estimate made here. Last year the United States produced 552.coo.ooo bushels of wheat. The exports of wheat amounted to 132.060.667 bushels, valued at $96,771,743. or less than 73 cents a bushel. During the same period the exports of wheat flour amounted to t8.650.979 barrels, valued at $69,450,296. The Agricultural Department's reports show that the crop will be largely in excess of that of bit year, and this, taker, in connection with the prospective increase in the forrij/n demand, will lead to larger exportations

than last year.

The average export price for the year, it is safe to predict, will not fall below 75 cents a bushel. Deducting the expense of transportation and milling, lhe farmer may receive an average of 66 cents a bushel, or more. Exceeded Its Authority. The Secretary of State has received from Attorney Genera!
