APMILADELPMIA FIRE.
Destruction of she PniIAdoIPhAa
and Atlantic Passenger station.

DesGrueGIOn of she PntIAdolPhAa
and Atlantic Passenger station.
About half past three o'clock yester-
day morning, the watchman at the
freight and passenger station OF the
Philadelphia and Atlantic City (Nar-
row Gauge) Railroad, at Pier 8, South
wharves, discovered flames issuing
from the baggage.room where trunks
and blank forms used by the Company
were stored. Word was sent at once
to the Central Police Station, but the
telegraph operator on duty there in
sending the alarm to the fire department
made q mistake and sent che company
TO Eighteenth and Market streets in
stead of to Walnut street wharf. Ow-
ing to this mistake, about ten minutes
of valuable time was lost, and the fire
Ealned more headway than it would
have done had the alarm been sent cor
rectly. When the companies reached
the wharf and got into service the rail.
road sheds and offices were in mass OF
flames, and efforts were at once made to
save the tugboatS and vessels IN the
dock.
The Company's tug Major and the
steam-tug Argus, owned by Jacoo T..
R'dgway and others, were moored at
the south side of the pier, and, although
they we're cut loose and efforts made to
geG them out of reach of the flames,
they were unsuccessful, aud they were
soon on fire. The Major was towed
around TO pier 10, where after burning
for some time, sne sank, and now lies
with her bow and spars ont OF water,
badly damaged. The flames on the
Argus were extinguished after they
had destroyed everything abcve deck.
The rigging of the bark Nus was also
damaged be fire, and it was thought at
one time that the ship Shelburne,
which was ly ing in the dock south OIL
the pier, would he destroyed, but she
was safely towed into the stream.
On the north side of the railroad pier
q float, containing five freight cars, was
moored, and the woodwork OF three OF
them was almost entirely destroyed,
aud part of the float az badly scOrched,
entailing loss of about $1,000, covered
by insurance. The loss sustained by
the railroad mpany on sheds, offices,
&C., is estimated at $4,000, covered by
insurance. The tug Major was valued

it will be i'm possible to ascertain what
damage she has sustained until she is
raised.
The wrecking tug Argus was built
about year ago for j. L Ridgeway
and G. S, Bement, and cost $4,000
She was built very substantial ,ly, and
with the exception of the wreckiDg tug
North America, was said to be the
most powerful tug at this port Her
damage is estimated at SIS, 900, and she
was yesterday towed to Wilmington
for repairs. She was not insured.
The engineer and principal owner of
the tug, Major VIM. Certipg, was badly
but not seriously burned about the
head, hands and feet, whi le trying to
save the boat from destruction.

/ write merely to say to the Republi-
cans of New Castle County, through the
REPUBLICAN, that the cruise of the
good ship, New Constitution, thus
far has been one continual ovation. 1t
brings out the largest assemblages OF
people at the different points ever
known to come together in the State
and there is no doubt that great good ia
being done for the cause of the Republi'
car party. Our speeches are touching
entirely upon local points, aud seem to
be very effective.
The more we talk and write about
the "New Constitution" ana the Re-
publican party the more interest is ex-
cited, and the more the people come
out to the meetings. The Democrats
cannot rally from this novel mode IF
electioneering; in fact they are ON the
run. Their speakers are not only in
dulging in personal abuse but some OF
them are indulging in personal threats
of violence TO Mr. Harrington, Mr.. Fish
er and others who are actively engaged
in the campaign.
We shall move. steadily on with q
level head, and believe we shall carry
Sussex beyond question, and do not
entirely give up Kent. II the changes
