FIRE IN GERMANTOWN.
Deelrncllen of n PLanlng- MlII-Loss sIa,O0O.

DpElructlGn OF n Htanfng- -NtII-IIOsS SIS,UUD.
The inhabitants of the usually quiet suburban
retreat called Germantown last night awakened
from their slumbcrs about 10 O'Clock by the Changing
OF fire bells, and glance outside revealed TO the
viewers the fact OF the existence OF an unusually
large fire for that place Located on Queen street
formerly known as Indian Queen lane, few rods
west Of Germantown avenue and directly in the rear
of the Lutheran church, was two-and-a-half-story
stone building formerly used as a Lutheran school
house, but OF late extensively Improved and occupied
by Smith E. Hughes as a steam paning-mill and car
pcnter shop. In the englne-rOom of this establish
ment the fire originated, ana owing to the combusti-
bic nature OF the contents the danes spread so
rapidly that all attempts to save the structure
proved futile, and in hreequarters OF an hour after
the sounding Of the alarm the walls fell with
a crash resembling discharge OF artillery
The eastern wall fell outwards and into the grave
yard attached to the church named, completely
covering number OF graves and DESTROYING sundry
tombstones. Attached to the main building on the
Der, and well filed with seasoned boards this, with
flames communicated to the two and q half-story
cottage on the west, occupied by DR.. Darragh, the
roof and upper story OF which went to feed the
flames, and a back building was turned into mass
of cinders. Fears were at time entertained that
the flames might spread still further westward, but
owing to the existent amount of space between the
dwellings on that thoroughfare such fortunately
not the case.
Mr.. Hughes estimates his loss at $4,000, upon
which he has an insurance OF 10000.
The fire is tbs largest and most destructive one
that has visited Germantown since the burning OF
Armstrong; mills on Wistar street.
