Burning of the Harpers' Establish
I1lent in New York.


We gave week before last Teegraphic account
give below, full account of the catas,rophe.
The following history of the immense establish
ment of the Harpers may not be unnteresting at
the present time. We take it from the Times:
The establishment of the Harpers was founded
by James Harper, the eldest of the four brothers
who now constitute the firm. He came to the
city in 1901, lad Is years old, and served an ap-
prenticship of six years to Paul & Thomas, the
leading printers of that day. His brother John
soon followed him, and learned the trade of Mr..
Seymour, printer in John street. In 1917, with
the small capital James bad saved, the brothers
opened small book and job office in Dover street
The first book they printed was Senecas Morals
the second was edition of the Methodist Gate
chism The first book they published on their
own account was LocKE's Essay on The Human
Understanding. They toiIed with unremiring in
dustry, and maintained the highest character for
| enterprise and integrity.
In 1920 the third brother. Joseph Wesley,
joined them, and six years later Fletcher became
member of the firm. From that time until now
they have carried on the publishing business with
a degree of we'll directed energy, which has few
parallels. They removed to Cliff street. about
1920, and had added one building after another to
their establishment as the demands of their bust
ness required. The amount of books they have
issued is almost ipcaculabe. For the last few
| years they have published, on an average ttoenty-
fre uozumes minute for ten hours a day:-and
from three to four thousa nd persons have obtnine
livelihood from their employment.
The following account give from the TIL
bune:
ORIGIN AND RAPID SPREAD OF THE FIRE.
! At O'Clock in the afternoon the City Hall and
other bells throughout the City rang forth an alarm
for the Seventh District, and in a few moments
thereafter a dense smoke might have been seen
rising up from the eastern section of the City an
parenty the river, between Beekmap and
Frankfort SITS. With the first round of the Hall
bell the firemen were the alert aud the various
companies. with their apparatus, appeared in every
street IN the lower part of the City, moving rapidly
toward the ecene of the conflagration. n the
tensive publication establishment of Harper &
Brothers, located in Cliff and Pearl sts, near
Ferry-st. The news spread with unusual randi
ty throughout the City that Harpers' publishing
house was on fire, calling together almost insian-
taneousy an immense crowd of excited people.
Cliffs ST., from Franfort-st. the north to Beck
man on the south, aud Franklin square, filled
with the most compact mass of excited and sway
ing spectators ever collected at SO short notice.

ACCIDENTS AND INCIDENTS.
There were flying rumors in circulation during
the conGagra,on aud yesterday, that numbers
were killed ard injured, but we are happy TO state
tuat thew were without foundation. The only
person seriously injured, far ascer-
tain, is Miss Ellen Totten, who in the confusion
and excitement jumped from a second story win
dow of une of the buildings the Pearl st. side.
She was first observed by Mr.. G. c. Hebbard, of
3l5 Pearl ST., who stood in position to partially
catch her in his arms. He held out his arms, but
the female came with such force that he was un-
able to save her from falling the ground yet
the fall was somewhat broken by the commend
able conduct of the gentleman in question other
wise the unfortunate lady would probably have
been instantly killed. As the poor girl came to
the ground, she struck upon her hip, producing a
dislocaton, and other injuries of serious nature
internally. A coach was Immediately procured,

~ At the last Quarterly Meeting Of the La

was appointed to address the ladies of the County.
Mrs. B. NJ. EVERETT, of Rand lph. in fulfllment
of the duty imposed upon her as a member of that
Committee, presents the following
ADDR REss.
Women or PoRrAGE:-A short time since. we
fondly hoped the Maine Law would be ours or.
by the election of Maine LaD candidates to our
Legislature, we would secure for our State like
prohibi'ory law, thereby securing husbands, faith

children. In this we have been disappointed.
Two years must elapse before like opportunity
presents itself. In the time, what is the
duty of those protesting to be the friends Of the
cause? Shall they look upon this repulse a
final defeat. complete overthrow or, shall they
renew the conflict with increased ylgor, and wage
ceaseless, uncompromising warfare. until the day

friends Of temperance to pursue. We may ac-
complish by other means, TINT which we tailed 10
do in the last campagn. Two years is great
while to wait, and if by any possible means an
efficient prohibitory law can be obtained, let US
have it. In that time how many hundreds will
enter eternity How many form the appetite I!
How many groans, tears, blghted hopes. and
broken hearts. How many crimes perpetuated
by its influenced How many widowed wives, and
homeless, beggared children, made SO by the hand
of this ruthless destroyer! What part shall wo-
man take in the Conflict? In the annals of
Scotch history it is recorded, that at one time,
when engaged with the foe, (the enemy far exceed
ing their own in number,) the women and children

tieRed, and by their shouts of encouragement, ex-
cited them to such resistance that they completely
