matter for Godev's Lady's Book was also
put in type and stereotyped by the Inqui-
rcr company, but tie plates were printed
in Philadelphia.
The stereotype plates of d large number
Of books that had been printed, or were
in process of printing, were entirely de
strOyed. Among these were the life oil
Stephen Paxson life of Luther Brooks
arithmetics a work Oh diphtheria work
on steam engines, aud many others.
The building and hat store of Peter
Weber on the south and the clothing store
of Hirsh & Brother on the north of the
burnt building, were considerably damaged
by water, to what extent the owners are
not yet prepared to state.
The liquor store of A. b. Shaeffcr, and
the drug store of And. G. Frey were also
damaged slightly by water, and Mr..
Shaeffer had perhaps 500 worth of bottled
liquors carried off during the hasty re.
moval of his goods from the store room.
In less than fifteen minutes over eighty
barrels of liquor were removed and lay
On North Queen street, above Orange, for
hours while the fire ragged.

the School Jdurndl and of the Penn Col
lection or Music, loses severely in plates,
stock and other equipment Of his pu6lica
tions his insurance of $500 ran out a
very short time ago, and had not yet been
renewed.
The Gallant Flremen.
The firemen cannot be too highly com
Inended for their conduct during this the
most terrible fire with which Lancaster
has ever been afflicted. 1t might have been
supposed that some of the volunteers
would have felt sore and been Indifferent,
or at least lukewarm in their efforts, con.
sidering the fact that within q few days
the volunteer department is to be super
seded by paid department.. But not so
every company labored hcroically and in
telligently in quenching and preventing
the spread of the flames. There was no
quarreling, but each company did its level
best to excel the other in their unsclfish
labors-the companies that are to
be mustered out, as we'll as those
that are to remain in tho re-
organized department. Especial praise
is due to Assistant Engineer Harry
N. Howell, who, in the absence of Mr..
Fred Arnold, chief engineer Of the de
partment, was in command of tho yOlun-
beginning to the end of the fire and Was
always at the right place at tho right
time.
The firemcn were entertained by several
residents in the neighbOrhood. Mrs.
Franciscus and hen daughters Sallie Fran
ciscus, and Mrs. Yackley, whose home
was on fire and in imminent danger of
being destroyed, being the foremost to
forget their own danger and minister to
the firemen BY furnishing them with
coffee and other refreshments.
No very serious accidents resulted from
the fall of the walls, though several fire.
men were struck by pieces of brick and
mortar. The most seriously injured per
son was Mr. George ROthermel, one of the
fOremen IN the composing room, having
his head rather severely cut by piece oc
the falling cornice. His wound is not
danserous.>
