FIRE RECORD.
Burning of a Philadelphia Rag Ware

Burning of "a Philadelphia Rag Ware
house.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 2O.-A fire broke out
this forenoon in the third story of the rag
warehouse of Berge & Meyer Brothers, No.
239 North Water street. Over this building,
as well as over No. 237, is the sail loft of r.
H. Parker, in which a number of people were
employed. The first three floors of No 237
are the warehouses of the Albion Print works
of Lea, McCarter & Cresson, the proprietors
of the Albion Print works of Conshohocken,
Pa. The rag warehouse of Garrett Bros. 90
cupies No. 235 North Water street. After
the fire had burned fiercely for nearly an
hour, during which time the upper parts OF
the structures named were destroyed, the
firemen, while cropping in the second floor OF
| No. 239, stumbled over the charred body OF
man. 1t is thought by some people to be
the body of MIR. Meyer, of the firm of Berge
s. Meyer Brothers, who is missing, but others
state that it is the body of one of the
| workmen, who is also unaccounted for.
| The Albion Print works had stock valued
| at $50, 900, which is destroyed. The build
| ing occupies the site of the building in which
| the great fire of July 8, 1850, started, by
which thirty lives were lost and over two
million dollars worth of property destroyed
| 1t is now feared that there may be others be
| sides Meyer who have burned to death, as
| there are several missing. The loss il
property will reach S15O,0O0.
| The revised estimate of the loss places it al
about $3.50, OOO upon which there is 800,
| 600 insurance. Among outside companies
| which hold risks are the Home of New York,
Etna of Hartford, Conn, Continental OF
Neg York, Phoenix of Hartford, Conn, Gin
| ter Manhattan and North German

The sprague Divorce Case.

The Sprague Divorce Case.
PROVIDENCE, Feb. 20.-The Sprague di-
vorce case is likely to go out of public atten-
ton within few days, for an agreement for
an amicable settlement is looked for to NOR
row. In the Supreme Court to-day counsel
for both sides were in consultation for some
hours, when partial agreement was arrived
at. By its terms Mrs. Sprague is to be al
lowed to obtain legal separation from Gov
ernor Sprague on fairgrounds of non support
and desertion, while Mrs. Sprague retains the
custody of the three daughters and Governor
Sprague the son Willie. This it is believed
Mrs. Sprague will consent to and her counsel,
Judge Hoadley of Cincinnati, and Messrs.
Britton and Hazard, expect to get decree in
few DAYS.

Operations of SAT. Burglars.

READING, Feb. 2O.-This mornings tele-
grams from the Lebanon Valley indicate that
gang of expert safe burglars were at work
in at least four different points between this
city and Harrisburg on Sunday night. The
safe'of Kreider & Co., at Lebanon, was blown
open and robbed of $75. At Lebanon two
mills, the Eureka and Striekers, were entered
and the safes were blown open, evidently by
expert thieves. At the latter place the large
safe was dragged out of the office into the adj
joining foundry and blown to pieces with
powder. Money and valuable papers were
secured. An effort was also made to blow
the safe at Daub's grist MILL near Myers
town, but the thieves were frightened of.

LONDON, Feb. 2O.-In the House of Com
mons tonight Gladstone gave notice of his
intention to take steps for cutting off further
parliamentary inquiry into and discussion of
the working of the Irish land bill. He said
Monday next he would move that the pro-
posed parliamentary enquiry into the opera
ton of the land act in Ireland would tend to
defeat the operation of the act and be in
furious to good government in Ireland
Gladstone's position is we'll defined in the
following sentences: He believes that the
law as it now exists is acceptable to the great
majority of land owners and tenants in Ire
land, especially SO to the latter. He is con-
| WINGED that the opposition to the law is al
most wholly artificial and that it is kept up
partly through terrorism and partly by inju-
dicious aid and encouragementsx extended to it
from America. He insists that the cry of
mo rent" is one that finds no response in the
breast of any honest Irishman and that the
great mass of Irish tenants will gladly pay
the newly adjusted rents. Upon Gladstones
motion being presented hot and probably
protracted discussion is likely to ensue.

the Sandman had been in tow of the Texas,
but that the hawsers had parted. The Texas
intended to remain by the Sandman until
morning and then try again to take her tow.
The Dominion proceeded after rendering as
sistance. Among the passengers of the
