Destruc1Ive Fire IL PhiIodeInhIa.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. l2-The extensive chandelier
and gas fixture factory of the Messrs. Cornelius at
the corner of Eighth and Cherry Streets in this city,
was entirely destroyed by fire this morning, together
with numerous dwellings, stables &C., surrounding
it,
The factory was built in the form of the letter U,
1872 by 60 feet and five stories high 1t was used as
a finishing shop for the work manufactured in the
two other large establishments of the firm It gave
employment to 400 workmen and was filled with an
immense amount of finished work ready for shipment
The stock was valued at Sl50OOO, and the building
cost in erection $4,000. The whole insurance
amounts to $4,000 which is divided among the va
rious city Offices.
Some time after the commencement of the conha-
grafton the eastern wall fell with an awful crash,
completely crushing several small dwellings on Ras-
berry alley. Fortunately they had previously been
vacated by the occupants, the fire having spread 10
them. Besides these large number of dwellings on
Mint court. in the rear of the factory, also de-
stroyed, ard some halt dozen large dwellings on the
opposite side of Cherry street, together with several
stables, &C. on Eighth street, above and below Cher
ry street; dozen or more large dwellings and retail
stores were seriously damaged 1t is supposed that
not less than fifty families have been turned out.

the highest terms OF the Judge and on Satur-

passing through on his way to Raleigh, who pract-
ces law in that circuit, and was with Judge Person
at nearly all of his courts. He fully confirms all that
has been said in his favour and adds that, so far as
he could learn from the bar and the people generally
no Judge gave greater satisfaction, few if any
as gre,t. The nearly unanimous vote which he re-
ceved in the Legislature contrasts strangely with the
bitter opposition which he met with from the oppo-

GOLD DEPOSITED AT PHILADELPHIA MINT.
s47,729,2 e5 s48928,552 ss2, SIS, se9
The Philadelphia Ey. Bulletine from which paper
We take the above figures says:
The decline in the eceips at the Mint in this city
is chiefly to be attributed to the operations of the
San Francisco Branch Mint and the New York Assay
Office. We have intelligence from San Francisco
that the production of gold in that country is thus
far slightly greater than that of 1853, and the results
of the whole year will not show any diminuton.-
But this production being distributed to several dis
tant points, instead of being chiefly concentrated at
one, we shall not be able TO state it accurately until
the official reports made to Congress.
For the sake of satisfying the public of The large
excess OF specie now remaining in the country, we
have made some careful researches, the results OF
which we shall present to readers. From official
documents sent into Congress last year, and from the
weekly reports of the specie export at Boston and
New York this year, we derive the following state
ment:
Foreign export of specie, 1917 to 80
Import " ......... $500 063
Excess of Export ...................... 1885, 1881
Export of Specie from Jan. LIST to Dec. lst, 1854
Net export California Discoveries $II3 98
Here we have the total drain of our metallic cur
rency since the year that California began to supply
of which have before been published and from the
reports of the MINIS this year, derive the follow
ing statement of our native gold product since 1847

Total home Production of Gold. 1882 SIS 929

Excess of Specie in the country. Sl39 I25 91S
We do not pretend TO say that these figures are
strictly accurate, but they have been cautiously made,
and cannot be more than million two out Of the
way, the excess in the country being quite likely
TO be over under the amount we have stated 1t is
thus proved that there is now in the United States
about One Hundred and Forty Millions of Dollars,
in hard coin, more than there in the year 1886
Our metallic currency has increased in much grea-
ter ratio than our population. And yet there is
croaking about Hard Times; the croaking as usual
frightens the people, and although founded on
fallacy, the evils almost great if they were
based on reality. Let the public examine such
statements as We present abovA and by putting on
cheerful spirit they will soon Danish the fend of
Hard Times.
