was occupied by Messrs. H. NJ. Davis &
Co., dealers in fancy and staple goods
of all descriptions. Their building was
only partially destroyed, the fourth and
fifth stories being considerably burned.
Their stock Of goods was also large, but
most OF it was saved. with bat trihlng
damage. We are unable to learn the
extent of the loss, the value of the stock,
or the amount of their insurance.
The three large stores occupied by
Messrs. Stuart s Brother, A. J. Lewis
& Co., and Gihon & 3d., Were owned
by Messrs. Stuart s. Brother. They
were valued at $4,000, and were fully
insured. They were fire proof, con-
strueted throughout in the most appro-
we'd style, and each furnished with large
fire proof safes. The first stories were
all of granite, and the upper ones Of
brick.

UTCaptain Douglass, of Philadelphia,
who has been trading in oysters from
Chester River, and carrying TO Philadel-
phia, was arrested and brought to Ches-
ter Town on Wednesday last for viola
ting the Act of 1920, which prohibits
Captains Or Shippers from other States,
from taking, receiving or carrying
away oysters from our waters, whether
caught or purchased. The case was
heard before w. S. Lassell, ESQ.,, JUS
tice of the Peace, and Capt. D., was
held to bail to answer the charge at the
next meeting Of our Court.
We have been Informed that oysters
are becoming very scarce, and from the
number of Vessels of our own and other
States, employed in transporting them
to the large cities, in few years they
will almost cease TO be found in our
waters.-Kent .News.
1.-THE Circuit Court ofthis county,
the first regular term held in this Judi
cial district since the adoption of the
new Constitution, commenced its ses-
sion in this place on the Sth inst, and az
ter session of five days, adjourned to
the 18th. On that day, the Judge be-
ing seriously indispoed, so much so as
to prevent his attendance, a further ad-
journment till Wednesday the oath in
slant was ordered.
This is very serious objection to the
one judge system, and is likely to be the
cause of much complaint. Where but
one judge presides, as is now the case,
and that one kept at home in conse-
quence OF the indispositon of himselfor
family, public interests are likely to suf-
fer, and many Inconvenience that did
not arise under the old system, present
themselves under the present order of
things. We think the wisdom of the
trainers of the present Constitution
could have made decided improve
ment upon the one judge system, had
they have gwen the subject but little
reAection.-Denton Journal.

Fire in PHILADELPHIA.

The most disastrous fire that has &C.
Cured in our city since the memorable
fire of July 9th, 1919, took place yes
terday morning at an early hour. The
whole amount of properly destroyed is
estimated to be at least one million of
dollars. The fire broke out in one of a
block OF stores extending from Bank
street to Strawberry street, a distance
of about two hundred feet, between
Chestnut and Market, one of the heav-
lest business places in our city. The
stores were built a few years ago, were
four stories in height, with iron shutters
and doors and metallic roofs. hen the
alarm was given the shutters were heat
ed to redness, from which it may be in
terred that the fire must have been
burndg for some time, or else it increas.
ed with great rapidity.
The fire appeared to be in the base
ment of the store of A. ]. Lewis s. Co.,
No. IL on Bank street and No. II on
Strawberry. The doors were so strong
ly built as to resist for sometime the ef-
forts of the firemen in attempting to
force them open, during which time the
hre was making rapid progress in the
upper part of the building. This ware
house was we'll stocked in all parts, with
the most valuable articles, consisting of
linen and wooden goods; the whole be-
ing increased recently by heavy impor.
tations. The stock was worth about
1910, 900, and was nearly covered by
insurance in twenty-one Offices in the
United States and Europe. In the up
per part fthis building was stored 900
packages of foreign goods, under custom
house lock and key.
Messrs. Gihon & Co., occupy the
store adjoining the above on the north
The doors of the building were forced at
an early hour, and when it was found
impossible to save the building, the fire
men and police carried out the greater
portion of their goods and placed them
IN the stores on the opposite side OF the
street, and other places of safety. Then
stock was valued at $l50,000, and con
sisted mostly of domestic cotton ant
wooden goods. Their loss is mostly by
water. and they are fully covered by in
surance in different offices in this city
and to the eastward.
The second story was occupied by
Messrs. Wyeth, Rogers & Co., dealer
in lace and fancy goo' whose stocl
was valued at 100000, but very it'll,
of the goods were rescued, it being i'm
possible for the firemen to get into th'
apartment, in consequence OF the smok'
and heat. The loss is nearly covere,
by insurance.
The large store No. Is Bank and l.
Strawberry street, was occupied by Stu
art & Brother, heavy dealers in fame
and staple goods of all descriptions
Their stock was valued at $4bO,O00, o
which there was an insurance OF $500
O00i in different Offices in this city, Ne,

EssIoNAL AND LEGIsLATIvE.-
The Deficiency Bill has passed the
House of Representatives, and that body
is now engaged on the Homestead bill;
the purport ofwhich is, to grant one hum
dred and sixty acres OF land to every
actual settler. The Senate has passed
the bill changing the value of he silver
coin Of the United States. We mem
ton here, as Washington item, that
twenty clerks have been discharged
from the Pension Office.
In the Legislature, we believe no
measure of importance has been per-
fected. The Homestead Exemption
came up in the Senate on Wednesday.
An amendment was adopted, that the
provisions of the Bill should not extend
to house, ground or any other descrip-
ton of rents; after which it was recon-.
mited.
In the House CT Delegates Bills have
been reported by Mr.. Ricketts,, to make
valid deed from the Trustees of the
Methodist Church; and by Mr. Morgan,
to allow James Cassaday to build wharf
at Oldtown.
