A spectacular Are Tburaday night
wiped out the tanka and many tboua-
anda of gallona of oil and gaaollne
belonging to the Gulf Redoing Com
pany, whoae plant la located on th*
Georgia Southern A Florida railroad
in the weatern part of the city. It
wag the Brat big oil fire that eTer
occurred here, and the great crowd*
who were attracted to the neighbor
hood took care to keep a aafe dla-
tance from the bluing tanka, fear
ing that they would explode.
No one know* what atarted the
Are, except that It erldently caught
from a large quantity of gaaollne,
which had been apllted on the ground
during the emptying of a tank car
In the morning. While traof
fering the guollne from the car to
the tanka a ralre got out of order
and between eeren hundred and
eight hundred gallon* of gaaollne
ran out on the earth and ear. Man
ager Maddoeke and the men In
charge of the work took every pre
caution to aee that the waited gaao
llne wa* not Ignited, hut It caught
lira In eome way, and almoat In a
moment the Dame* were hlailng
around the tank*. .
Mr. Maddox reallxed the danger
froof the apHled gaaollne, and re-
mated the railroad company not to
do any awltchlp* In that [aeotton.
He algo warnod the paaaeraby of th*

Ing. Th* department kept atraama
of water on the barrel factory and
other bulldlnga neareat the Ara, and
a* there were no apark* to lodge on
the roof*, the problem reeolred It-
aelf Into one of letting the all burn

At on* time the Are looked u If

To moat people who aaw the Are,
one of the aurprlalng feature* waa
