PENN sYLVANIA,
GREAT FIRE IN PHILADELPHIA.


PHILADELPHIA, Jan. IA fire at the corner
of Ninth and Chestnut Streets this morning,
burned marble block and is still raging
CaldwelPs jewelry store, in which it commenc-
ed, was completely destroyed. Orm's carpet
store was much damaged Howell's paper
hanging worehOuse is enveloped in flames in
tne upper stories and the stock burned. The
t0tol loss will not be less than two Millions
The fire was preceded by an explosion, leading
to the suppositiOn that it was caused by bur-
glars blowing open the safe. A man was ar
rested at the rear door of Caldwell's store, but
says he was stationed there after the explosion
to prevent persons from entering.
Later The explosion in MIR. Caldwells
store is ascertained to have been caused by the
bursting of boiler used in heating the build
ing, so that the loss will not be as serious as
supposed. The safes have undoubtedly been
protected The art gallery IN Cald wells store
contained large number of valuable paint
ings and statuary. The building was erected
by the Burt estate in most substantial man
ner with marble front on Chestnut Street, but
was not seriously damaged except in the fourth
story. Seven clerks were sleeping in the build
ing, who escaped througo the second story
windows, nearly all Of them badly bur1ed.V
Howell's store, owned by George Howell, one
OF Lae firm, whose stock was valued at a quar-.
Ter OF million dollars, was totally destroyed.
line loss was about halt covered by insurance.
The fire still continues among the stock of pa
per In the Howell building although it is not
extending in other portions OF the block.
Ldtest.-Caldwell's stock, outside of the safe,
was valued at quarter of million dollars,
and was insured Tor $114, 900. Howells stock
OF 100000 was insured tor $105OOO. Orm's
stock OF carpets, valued at $225O00, was insur-
ed for $125,O00. Thu buildings were fully in
sured. Two clerks who slept in CaldwelPs
store are missing. Their names are Hogan,
from Rhode Island, and Poulk, from Winches-
ter. Va. When last seen, Hogan had fallen
down near the front door. Both are supposed
to have persisted.

Immediately after the caucus they are still
hard at work, but evidently with feeling that
it is I'D hill labor. The friends of Mr.. Hamln
claim several recruits since the caucus and are
sangune of success. The talk of running
Gov. Chamberlain by the Morrill, men is not,
as many have supposed, mere vile. The
proposition now is to stick to Morrill, on the
first one or two ballots, and then in the event
of no choice to combine all their forces on
Gov. Chamberlain. At all events they mean
to bolt the nomination. 1t is, however, report
ed on good authority that the Governor posi-
lively declines to represent any faction.
1t is now settled beyond question that Mr..
Drummond is right in regard to the motion
he made on the night of the caucus, namely,
that he did use the word unanimous. Two re-
perters, one shorthand reporter, were pres
emit and took full notes and have them now in
their possession, and they will sustain MIR.
