-Ir.-IftI fY.se flf.N d.
s PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 2. :
A very destructive fire broke out at one
o'clock this morning in Chestnut Street.
Buildings No. 807 Chestnut Street, occupied
by Handlers Express Co., 603 and sos, occu-
pied by Rockhill & Wilson, wholesale cloth
iers, and 500, occupied by Perry & Co., cloth
ing, were almost entirely destroyed. The
walls fell into the street, and some firemen
We're injured The loss will certainly not fall
short of $1,O00O00. The buildings destroyed
were of brown stone, five stories high, and the
most ornamental on Chestnut Street.
Last night was the 18th anniver sary of the
immense fire fire on the same spot, when two
men were killed. I laI} a'e-
The building in which the fire originated
had recently been purchased by the Evening
Bulletin Association, who were preparing to
make it their publishing house. Their loss is
fully insured. s5 ee1'I
The other parties losing by fire and water
are Herman, Destree & Baur, trimmings;
John F., Simmons, Photographic materials !;
Birds Billiard saloon, and Magarge &c Co.,
paper dealers.
Some twenty persons were arrested for rob
bling the stores in the vicinity of the fire.
One store, in no danger from fire, was COM
pletely Quilted. as ea.,g -ef5 Banned
Among the goods taken to the station house
was an old pair of pantaloons, which the own
er must have exchanged for new pair, but
forgot to remove his pocket book, containing
six dollars. From the extensive robberies, it
is now believed that the place was set on fire
for that purpose. ,ll u ~
4t u. -f,es - LATER.
Rockhill &c Wilson's loss is estimated at
$4,000. The greater portion of their stock
was removed. ="
No. 900 Chestnut Street was owned by
parties who reside in New England. Perry &
Co.'S, clothiers, loss is 100000; insured for
$4,000. The damage to Maguage's paper
warehouse was very great, but principally By
water. skl ia
All the money packages from Handlers
Express are safe, and the greater part of the
freight In the building was removed. 1t is
now supposed that the total loss will be about
$2oO,OOO; but the insurance is large and will
probably nearly cover the loss
The hremen worked manfully, and at one
time were pouring fifty-eight streams of water
on the buildings. The site of the fire was
formerly occupied by the old Chestnut Theatre.
