A FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLAR FIRE IN THE
HEART OF THE TowN-ITs ORIGIN UNAc-
ooUNTABLE.
On Thursday morning last, between four
and five o'clock, a fire broke out in the store
of Elkinton and Springer, in Pennsgrove,
Just across the river, which spread into a
conhagration. The store and all its con-
TENTS and two frame dwellings adjoining.
we're consumed. Most of the furniture in
the dwellings were saved. These were oc-
cupied, the one nearest the store by Anna
Bevis widowed lady, and the other by
Willis Avis. All the buildings belonged to
Charles Elkinton, but the store was in the
tenure of his son George and Wal
ter Springer. The only things they
saved from their stock, worth
probably $4,000, was a quantity Of ready
made clothing and boots and shoes stored
in small building i'll the rear of the store.
The origin of the fire is unaccountable.
1t evidently broke out between the weather
boarding and plastering on the dry goods
side of the store. There had been no fire
in the building for several days, and the
stove had been removed. On Wednesday
the spring cleansing of the store had been
| finished The town being without fire
apparatus, the people began with buckets
and tubs an attempt to subdue the flames,
but finding this impossible they directed
their efforts to prevent the spread of the
fire. In doing this row of sh ds were
pulled down. Russ store, on the
opposite side of the street, was badly
scorched and only saved by spread
ing upon it wet carpets. But for the rain
of the night before, which had saturated
| the roofs the conflagration would have
been even more widespread. To add to
the seriousness of the situation the wells
and pumps gave out, and water had to be
procured from the river, several hundred
yards distant.
The total loss is estimated at $4,000,
upon which there is an insurance of $7 900.
Mr.. Elkinton will not rebuild but one OF
the dwellings and the necessary shedding
for the livery stables, so that there is nc
immediate prospect of filling up of the

ALL ON THE PLATFORM.
There is a sad story afloat that large

(the members of which are very numerous,)
had no tickets for seats on the platform at
the Centennial Opening. The tickets in
tended for them, they say, fell into the
hands of those who were not I" Aid to the
Governor, with the rank OF Colonel, at
all. Col. William Dean, of Newark, Col.
Buxbaum and Col. Pretschner, of this city,
and even Adiutant General Reynolds were
among those not "in." Col. Dean says he
has received the following note =
Dear Dean Permit me to congratulate
YOU and your associate members upon the
staff of His Excellency, Gov. Cochran, upon
your fine appearance at the Centennial.
How you must have been gratitied with the
display and the considerativeness OF your
chief, whose commission enabled you to
bear so conspicuous part, entitling you to
seats upon the main platform where you
could see and hear all that transpired,
What pity, however, that your own and
your compeers Of the aid-de-eamp's blood
was not AZ blue as Generals DUPONT and
Holcomb, else your names would have been
announced as part of the Delaware repre-
sentatlon. Seriously the impudence OF the
Secretary in failing to notify the statf, ano
of the Governor in not ordering his aid-de
camps invited, merits moro than comic criti
