PHILApELPHIA, July lO, ls5

PHILADELPHIA.J July 10, 1880.
One of the most destructive conAagra-
tons that ever occurred in Philadelphia
broke out yesterday afternoon at No. 5s
North Delaware Avenue, in the fourth
story, occupied for storage. The flames
spread in every direction, in sho,7
lime extending west to Water st., and
south from Race to Callowhill streets,
Three terrific explosions occurred; orig
mating, as it is supposed, from about
1900 bags of saitpetre stored in Brook S
warehouse. Many lives were lost, a
mong whom were many valuable, ener-
eeiic and noble fremen; of these at leas
thirty are supposed TO be killed, and ten
or more of the wounded will probably
die. The total number cannot be les.
than 100. Judging from the exten, Of
ground covered by the fire, and the nature
of the propert y consumed, we venture
to compute the loss at s4.o00,0o0.
