Another Distressing Accident.
PHILADELPHIA, July pa fire
brGke out between seven and eight
O'Clock this morning in the picking
room Of james Nolan's shoddy mills,
corner of Germantown avenue and st.
Johns street, and before it could be
| checked the whole building was in
flames. Not many people w5r5 in the
building at the time, and those who
were in the lower part had no diff
| ficulty in escaping, but before those III
the upl ar part Of the BUILDING knew OF
| their danger the whole lower story was
in blaze. Several women were up
| stairs and started down but were metby
| the flames in the second story. Several
of them succeeded in getting through
window at the rear of the second story
on the roof of the shed and escaping.
Three, however, named Ellen Heber,
Anna Patterson and Maria HOeTler
were driven back from the window By
the fire and obliged to retreat up stairs
again. All efforts to relcue them were
in vain, and they remained screaming
for help until they we're all dreaGfully
burned. Al lest Ellen Heber and Anna
Patterson jumped from the third story
of the window and were immediately
killed by striking the pavement. 1t Is
probable that had they survive the fall

Maria Hoeriet was fortunate 70 gel mold

ground. She is ftightfully burned, the

entirely. Sue was removed to the hos
pitsl but her recovery is very doubtful.
Parties who knew the position OF the
three women piled bales OF goods upon
! the pavement under the windows for
them to jump on, but other parties not
knowing the object in placing the bales
| there removed them, aud the women
| fell upon the bare pavement. The mill
was entirely destroyed, with stock and
machinery. The loss is heavy.

SKETCH OF COMMODORE GARNFR-HIs
WIFE's FOREBODINGS.
New York Sun.
William T, Garner was a handsome
man.; about five feet eight inches in
| stature, stout, rather inclined to be
portly, and had light grey eyes, light
| hair and heavy moustache of light color.
He'was the very picture Of q genial com.
panion. His father, Thomas Garner,
came from England many years ago,
| and with his bIother started the original
house under the firm name OF J. g. q
| T. Garner, dealers in goods manufac.
| tured in Greenwich village. The firm
was afterWard changed to Garner, Wells
& Co , with Mr.. D r. Eangam as the
managing partner. After some years
Mr.. Mangam retired, and Mr.. Thomas
Garner, although very wealthy, again
took the active management. Mr.. VIII
| liam Il. Garner was born in this city,
| tut was sent abroad to be educated. He
fnished his studies in France, and,
returning, immediately entered his
1 fsthef's store. He continued as an as
tsisfant, learning the business, until his
father's dea.h, on the sixteenth OF Oc-
tober, 1867. He then became the manag-
ing partner, and continued as such until
his death. His father leh five children
and fortune estimated at twelve mil
lions of dollars. TO each child except
William and another he gave one mil
lion of dollars, and to him all his i'm
mense business interests. Under Will
Iiam's management the business steai-
lily increased, until the house Of Garner

country. In no quarter was every cir.
