Standard Oil Company's Property Destroyed, Los $15,000. - Raleigh, May 20. -Last night the plant of the Standard Oil Company here, including ware houses and tanks was on fire. There are , surmises that an incendiary started the fire. The watchman could not be found. , Detec tives are at work on the case. The tanks held about 15,000 gallons of oil , and 3,500 gallons of gasoline; but they had safety outlets, so that there were no explosions. The oil ran out into the gutters in large quantities. The loss . amounts to probably $15,000. The fire was made fierce by quantities of head- . light oil and axel grease which were in the ware house.

Sunday brought no changes in the attitude of either side in the labor controversy now in progress in Chicago, and everything to night points toward an extension of the teamsters' strike during the coming week. Officers of the seven express com janies, whose refusal to reinstate any of their former employes caused the collapse of the settlement of the trouble last night, still adhere to their determination not to give employment to any of their former employes, and the other firms involved in the difficul ty declared that they would stand by t ie express companies in . the fight The Teamsters' Union has taken just as firm a stand as the employers, and Raleigh, N.

The to tal number is but a trifle over 600, as compared with 1480, 20 years ago, show ing a most remarkable falling off. There are only 116 convicts In the penitentiary proper. One, a white man named House arrived yesterday from Wilson county to serve 12 years for murder. The con victs in the prison are making brick, but cannot supply the demands. It is expdeted that tomorrow a contract will be made to supply the hospital for the insane here with 300,000, for use in building the new wing. Brick are' also being supplied to Wake Forest College, for a cotton mill at Clayton, to Louis burg for sewerage construction and water works, for a bank at Apex, and for a boiler house at the hospital for the insane here.

Take these counties for example, the returns beine made by scores of farmers in each county; Granville fully 25 per ct. Hertford 20, Warren 25, Rockingham 27; Stanley 25. Martin 25, Edgecombe 20, Gaston 25, Lenoir 20. These may be taken as typical.
