The lecture of Hon. E. II. Ewing last
night for the benefit of the Library AsSocia-
ton, owing to the inclemency of the
weather, was not very largely attended, but
so highly delighted were the listeners that
for the benefit Of Others who could not be
present, there is a general desire that it be
repeated. The subject chosen by the dis
tinguished speaker was Daniel Webster"
which he handled in a mastery manner.
We understand that these library lectures
will be continued every Friday night dur
inc the season.

THE DEyOURING.
A Big Blaze at the Corner of Market
nnl Bread


About eight o'clock last night fire was
discovered in the third story of A. Rannies
large confectionery establishment on Bread
street, near Market. The alarm was sound
ed at once and the enginese turned out
promptly. The Eclipse engine dashed
down College street, but before reaching
Broad met car, and as the engine could
not be got off the track, it was found ne
cesSary to unhitch the street-car horses. at
tach them to the rear end Of the car and
draw it back until sufficient room had been
given for the Eclipse toturn out of the track.
in consequence OF which, that engine was
not on the ground as soon as she would
otherwise have been.
By the time the engines got fairly at
work, the flames were coming out at the
roof in score of places, and for about fif-
teen minutes the water seemed to have but
little effect. 1t WIS feared that the drng-
store of Litterer Il Cabler, which stands on
the corner of Market and Broad, adjoining
Rannie's establishment, would catch. and a
considerable quantity of their goods were
carried out OF the building, but fortunately
by the good work of the Fire Department.
this threatened danger was arrested. al
though the goods left in the store were
damaged to some extent by the water
thrown on the adjoining building.
The stock of G. G. Black & Co., whole
sale grocers, whose store joins Rannies on
the west, was injured to some extent by
water, and the bailding was slightly
burned. This firm are insured in two Liv
erpOol companies to the amount of $500,
which sum will more than cover their loss.
MIR. Rannie OWNS the building he ocCu-
pies, and his loss, in building and stock
will probably fall but little short of SlO,-
600. He has had considerable insurance
on stock and building, principally in home
companies, We understand, but portion of
his insurance policies expired about a week
ago and were not renewed.
He has had an immense stock on hand,
but his holiday sales decreased il materi-
ally-a very fortunate circumstance. He
had begun to receive new stock, however,
and one side of the store was filled with
goods he received two days since. More
damage was dOne his stock on the lower
floor by water than by fire.
II is not known how the fire originated
