PHILADEIPHIA, August 5.-The United
States bonded warehouse on Lombard
street wharf, better known as Patterson's
storehouse, a six story brick building,
$50 by $50 feet, and containing forty
thousand barrels of whisky, and other
goods valued at ten or eleven millions
of dollars, took fire at seven o'clock
yesterday evening, and has defied all
efforts of the fremen to subdue the
flames. The burning liquor is running
through the streets like rivers, destroying
the hose, thus interfering with the fire.
men. 1t is impossible to say how far it
will extend. A large number of minor
casualties has occurred, but no lives lost
except four children, who were killed by
falling bricks.
The origin Of the FIRE is stated as fol-
lows: The immense weight of whisky
stored in the south end Of the building,
directly over the engine-room, caused the
upper part of the building to give way,
thus letting the whisky down into the
sngineroom. In an instant the fire
spread throughout the six stories. The
fremen directed their efforts to save the
surrounding property, it being impossible
to do anything with the warehouse. Mos
Of the whisky was that on which duty
had been paid, under the extension ac
Of Congress. This ERE is the most de
structive that has occurred in this city
since the great FIRE of 1850. The princi
pal losers are the Haneys, Castlewood

Ex-seeretary TOucey.

From the Baltimore Sun. August z.
A dispatch from Hartford, Conn, on
Friday, has already announced the death
of Isaac Toucey, of that city, best known
to the public as Secretary OF the Navy
under the administration of Mr.. Bu-
chanan. Mr.. Toucey was born In the
State Of Connecticut in 1898: In those
earlier days the privileges of liberal
education belonged only to the wealthier
and more prosperous classes, with which
the circumstances of his father and
mother did not permit them to affiliate.
Young Toucey, therefore, was kept at
work about home, receiving only such
instruction as could be afforded by the
common schools of the county. bis
snirit. however, was undsunted, and as
soou as he had left school he entered
upon the study of the law. In due course
OF time Mr.. Toucey was admitted to reg
Mar praotice at the bar, and was on the
high road to fame and fortune. His we'll
known probity and intellectual capacities
soon secured for him the pcsItion OF
States attorney, which was his first
public service. He continued IN this
position for nearly thirteen years. In
| 1885 Mr.. Touoey was elected to Congress
| by the Democratic party, remaining IN
Washington for years. Upon his return
home be resumed the practice OF Law
and continued in retirement until ls46,
when he was called forth to ill the ex-
ecutiye chair of the State. Two years
thereafter. Governor Toucey was called
into the cabinet of President Polk, as

member of the Connecticut State Senate !;

Senator, and in March, of ths latter year,

In the year 1912 a total eclipse Of the
sun was visible in the South of France.
Arago described it as follows;
At Perpignsn only the sick remained
indoors. From early dawn the people
covered the terraces, the city ramparts,
ell the knolls aud vantage points from
which they could hope to see the sun
rise. At the citadel we had under our
eyes, besides the numerous groups OF cit
liens, the soldiers who were about TO be
reviewed. The time for the beginning OF
the eclipse approached. Nearly 10000
persons, smoked glass 10 hand, were
scanning the radiant orb. now projected
upon an azure sky. Hardly had We,
aided by powerful glasses, begun TO dis.
tinguish the light shade obscuring the
Western limb Of the sun, when q shout,
the mingled sound Of 10000 different
voices, apprised us that our observation

some time, moving as rapidly as posi-
BILE away from the cannibals' home,
George Semazon's two companions died
of exhaustion. He remained alone,
mutilated, hopeless, upon frail canoe.
He, nevertheless, continued to push
on, touching Land only when absolutely
necessary TO sleep, and to get water
and food. He ate she'll fish and
roots. One day he reached the last
island of the group, and nothing
lay before him but the wide ocean.
He set TO work to build a raft. 1t took
him a year. He launched it. The
waves threw it back on the island.
He several times tried to put it out
TO sea. but constantly failed. He
resolved to turn his footsteps landward,
but in a different direction from the
cannibals' home. He climbed a noun
tain, crossed desert, fell again into
savage hands, once more escaped from
them, and through forests; his feet
were bitten by venemous insects, his
face scabbed with bites of mosquitoes
at last, nearer dead than alive, he came
upon white men. He had been walk
ing for three years, and had crossed
South America on foot The white
men received him kindly, and did what
hey could for him. He embarked
lpon q small Portuguese ship, aud at
asst reached Europe. His family had
oog given him up for dead.
