DESCRIPTION OF 1T, BY RErERrNe TO PnIADEl

DESCRIPTION OF 1T, BY REFERIHo TO PHILADELPHIA
A BostoniAn gives the Philadelphia Press the
following description of the locality, ana build
ings included in the district burned yesterday -
Haley. Morse a. 90. 3 building, in which the
fire originated, Is splendid mArble-front struct-
ure, costing 100000 to build, and belonging to
the Baptist State Convention, a charitable socie-
ty OF Borton. They were the largest manufac-
turers OF furniture probably in the State, max
ing specially Of furnishing hotels. such as the
Gilsey House, in New York the Gait House, in
Louisville the Kennard House. of Cleveland I;
the Uarollton, OF Baltimore tue st. James, of
Boston. and other tirst-class hotels throughout
the esconntTy. Considering The Press office, at
seventh and Chestnut, as the point ddpput, and
in Boston on the corner of Boylston and Wash
iugton streets, the Haley, Morse 4 Boyden es-
tate would be about two hundred feet west Of
Seventh street on Chestnut street, where in Bos-
ton Avery place comes in. Essex street is con-
tinuatiOn of BoylstOn street, and corresponds to
Seventh street north of Chestnut. The Globe
Theatre, therefore, which is on the corner of
Essex and Washington street, and nearly oppo-
tlto to the Haley, Morse 4 Co. stOre, would oc-
eupy about the position oil the Transcript build
ing here.
This was the finest theatre in the city, cores
pondlng to the Fifth-Avenue, OF New York. 1t
cost siOO 900 to build Chickering's buildings is
new, aud cost $500, ,000 1t Ii two or three doors
north OF the Globe Theatre, being about in the
same relative position as the Freemason's Hall
on Chestnut street is to the Press building The
Freemans Bank, having capital Of about $780,
OOO, was burned out in the last fire. the flames
attacking the notes Of the institution and des-
troying them. This bank had temporary quar-
ters IN Haly, NOES Il Co. stCre.
Ihe Presbyterian church is on the corner Of
Beach and Harrison avenue, which would be in
Philadelphia at about Eighth aud SAMSON streets !.
Browns rroches building was under the Globe
Theatre, and must therefore have gone. Wen
dell Phillips lived IN a small house of nnpreten-
tlous exterior, but with an interior jewelled with
art and taste, at the head of Harrison avenue
which III Philadelphia would be afout on Seventh
street north, opposite Jayne street. The bulk
o. the IRE, therefore, would be (still keeping
ihlladephis as the ideal city) on Chestnut street
from Seventh to Eighth extending down to San
som on Eight, and up nearly to Market on
seventh. 1t is just in the heart OF the business
portion OF the city. and the losses will probably
reach Il ,250, 900.
Relatively to the outline of the old fire, the
names have jumped about two squares. The
stores burned were mostly RETAIL and many
rum shops must have been taken off. Tbs
ftot the Catholic organ. which was burned out
before, was building new structure in the pre-
sent burned district

FIRE ON woLLasToN sTREET-sTABLEs BURNED
At about two o'clock this morning, an alarm Of
fire was sounded, caused by the burning of a
brick stable, on Wollaston street, between Sth
and 9th streets, the property of Andrew Crum-
lish. The alarm was general and the FIRE depart
ment responded promptly to the call The burn
ing of about two tons OF hay made brilliant
light Illuminating that part Of the city for many
squares away. The fire was discovered in time
to save the stock but not in time to save the
building and other contents, which included the
hay, some feed, lot of harness. etc The IRE
was undoubtedly the work of an incendiary. The
loss was fully covered by insurance.

There is an impression abroad that the San

this city. This is a mistake. The California
Minstrels have been here, but the two troupes
are widely different. The San Francisco troupe
have been located In New York for several
wears, rarely going into the country at least in
this direction. They have exhibited in Balti-
more aud Washington, but never in Philadel-
phis They enjoy good reputation, and have
received the endorsement Of the press wherever
they have been.

NARROW GAUGE-The Platteville hit,
ness says work upon the narrow gauge
Is progressing as rapidly as possible UNI
der the circumstances. The grading is
all about finished and the bridges and
cuiverts are being put in; the ties for
nearly the whole line are on the ground
and 1t Is said that negotiations have been
affected for iron sufficient to equip the
track already graded, and that this work
will soon be commenced
The assistant engineer, Wasdin, with
a corps Of assistants, have been for some
time making preliminary surveys in the
vicinity of Platteville, and looking over
the country with a view OF determining
on the most practicable route by which
to get out of Platteville, and they have
commenced survey with the view Of
running narrow gauge railroad from
Platteville to Madison The route which
Will probably be taken will be from
PlatteVilIe up the Platte river riJr Wash
burn to Wingyille, thence east TO Madi-

weeks to accomplish the survey

New YORK Auv IA Ro,l;u -

New YORK, Aug. 16-A Berlin cor.
p,nd' mt says one of the events for
which It is well to be prepared ia the
death OF the German Emperor Appre-
tensions about his case have arisen not
so much from specifics attacks of illness
as from various signs, insigni6can Mt when
taken apart, hut full of significance when
grouped together. The journey to st.
Petersburg, left, it is said a bad effect on
bis constitution. He returned rather
tired, after long round of dissipation
and a tedious railway journey. Soon
after the Shah arrived, and to the phvs~
ical fatigue incident to the part of host
was added nervous suffering, brought
on by the eccentricities of the guests
1t was supposed at one time that his i'll
ness was ftigned, in order to escape
further interviews with the king of kings.
Alter the departure of the Shah, the
Emperor retired to Potsdau, where one
hot afternoon he suddenly tainted, fall
ing heavily forward on the floor, and
only after an hour was he brought to
consciousness. The Emperor is petulant
and vascilating, and has morbid dread
Of being left alone. A correspondent
says it is caused by the extract to which
his Government has been involved ia the
war with the Holy See.

HE latest news seems to discredit the
rumors that Mexico, after a compara-
lively long period of tranquility, was
about to 90 again into the revolution
business. Affairs at the capital are for
once quiet Instead Of Congress OPP
posed to the Executive, it is reported
that two>thirds Of the national legisla-
ture will support him. And what is
still more gratifying than the political
prospects, the financial outlook of the
country is said to be brighter than it
was. The commerce has increased forty
per cent. during the first half of the
fiscal year over that of the preceding
year, which is the most encouraging
symptom Of all. Ii this law-abiding Fl,
would only continue, and economy take
the place of extravaganza and corrup-
ton, there might be some hope for the
Mcxicans. But-to use popular Span
ish phrase-Quien sabe7
