Philadelphia, June 11. About
1 1 o'clock to-day lightning strack
the large warehouse at the oil
works, and the entire building was
soon in flames. The fire spread
so rapidly that the whole neigh
borhood is endangered. Due'hnps
fronting the warehouse are in
flames. Shipping in the Schuylkill
river is burning fiercely. The At
lantic petroleum storage com
pany's warehouses and offices were
completely consumed. There .are
plenty of engines on the scene;
but still at th's hour the fire is rag
ing fiercely and is not under con
trol. Five vessels have been en
tirely burned. The property of
the oil companies in jeopardy is
valued at over 2,000,000.

ducing the plan of publishing and sell
ing books direct to purchasers, in
stead of giving the large discounts
usually allowed to dealers and agents
to sell for them; by working on the
basis of the present cost of making
books, which is about one-half what it
was a few years ago, and by printing
very large editions, which greatly re
duces the cost as compared with
small editions, they are able to fur

seem truly astonishing, but which they
