PHILADELPHIA, Dec. l0.-The six.story
buildings Nos. 241 and 243 Lsvsnt
street, occupied by Clark Brothers & Co.,
manufacturers Of household furniture,
were discovered to be on fire at an early
hour this morning. The two buildings
were stocked with highly infiammsbls
material, and In less than half an hour
both were filled with flames In spite Of
the efforts or the firemsn, who were early
on the ground, but whose streams were
useless against so fierce fire.
AdjJining the fsetory on the south and
separated from It by only q narrow alley
is q row Of eight narrow fronted, shallow,
three story brick houses, known as Fair
bank Place. These houses were fenantsd
by families in humble circumstances, the
members Of which, aroused from their
SAUNDERS by the FIRE, were but too happy
to escape with their lives and left their
little household effects to be consumed.
Adjoining Fairbsnk Place on the south
is the extensive silk hat mandatory OF
Morris & Co., two upper windows Of
which took fire from heat, causing con.
siderable damage by water. The
rear Of the second floor Of
the large furniture warehouse
on the weat side Of Second street abutted
upon the rear Of Clark Brothers & Co.'s
sctory. and the contents Of their build
ings suffered slightly from water. BEx-
ter, Swan & Co., are Immediately in the
rear OF the factory, and the baok win
dOws of their buildings were burned out
and their damage by water Ia oonaider-
able.
In the rear Of No. 24s South Second
street Is small brick building, in which
lived g family by the name Of Kongsster.
This building was crushed to the ground
by the falling Of the chimney Of the fac
tory. At the time William Kongester, q
boy OF IL years, was in = second story
room and was carried by the crash to the
cellar, from which he was rescued with
but trifing injuries.
Clark Brothers & Co. estimate their
loss at $50, 200, upon which ohere was an
insurance Of 100000. Their building
belongs to the s. B. Bailey estate, and fs
valued at $50, 900, partly insured. The
damage elsewhere by fire and water will
probably reach $25, 900.

Morning by q Railroad laborer.
An aooident which resulted In the In.
atant death Of the Victim occurred on the

Norris O'Counor of No. 107 Justisen

where for some time past he has been
employed "a an engine cleaner, and when
the $50 O'Clock train from this city to

he unfortunately got in the path
OF aome cars which were being

sAEn DEPOSIT COMPANY.
An Organization Formed--A Market
Street site Purchased for y New
KRnARANu1

An Organization FoFmed--A Market
Street site Purchased for New
Building.
The establishment In this city Of q
fiduoisry institution similar in its pur-
pesos and objects to the Safe Deposit and
Trust Companies Of Philadelphia, has
been discussed by 3 number Of prominent
business and professional men here for
some time past. The need Of such an
institution has been felt for q long while.
Early last year the matter took tangible
form and only for the inability Of the
promoters Of the affair TO procure . suit
able building or 9 site for the erection OF
q structure 10 meet the requirements Of
the institution, the company would be
established In business. There have been
several meetings and discussions con.
corning the formation Of company dur.
ing the present fall and as result an
organisation has been effected by the
election OF officers and directors.
The building No. $40 Market street,
occupied as an office OF the Adams Express
Company, has been purchased as q site
for the erection Of new SIT uoture by the
company. A committee Of the promoters
OF the enterprise were In Philadelphia
few days ago and inspected the buildings
Of several similar organizations, and will
report At meeting set for few days
hence. The committee will also ask for
permission to secure plansfor the oontem-
plated building. The old express office
and dwelling will be RACED to the ground
as quickly as possible after March 25th.
Upon the site o handsome new edifce
will be erected. 1t will probably OCCUPY
the entire site extending through TO
Shipley street, having fronts on Shipley
and Market streets. In the middle OF
the building there will be large safes and
vaults Of the most approved pattern,
burglar and fire proof. The structure
will be very substantially built, and will
combine solidity with an attractive style
Of architecture. There will be no dwell
ling In connection with the establish
msnt, the entire building thrown into
single apartment, with very high ceil-
ings and lighted from overhead.
ALI the money desired has been sub
eoribed upon the stock and paid In and
more than ia needed has been proffsred.
The stock is In the hands Of prominent
Whining tonians in whom the public have
entire confidence, but whose names are
not publioally disclosed at this time for
reasons sufficient In themselves. The
etioers OF the company are men oonspi-
cious for their prominence in financial
matters in this city in whom various
public trusts have been reposed. The
object Of the company is olesrly defined
in Its name. It will accept trusts, guar.
dianships, administer upon estates, 60 /,
and let ont apartments OF Its vaults for
the safe deposit Of any valuables, the
institution guaranteeing for their
security. Such an organization as has
formed has long been needed here, and
there Is every indication that IL can be
conducted with profit alike to the COM
parry and Its patrons.

Opening Pr0ceedtnRs-A Scripture
Lesson from John wesiey's Bible.
Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
BALTIMORE, Dec. 10.-The Centennial
Conference OF Msthodism assembled this
morning at Mt. Vernon Church, one OF
the most beautiful and costly church edi-
foes In the land, loonted on Mt. Vernon
Square under she shade Of the beautiful
Washington monument. A very large
number Of delegates were present, and
the ohuroh was crowded to
It's utmost extent, many having been
unable 20 gain admission. Bishop
Andrews, chairman OF the general exeou-
tive committee, oallsd the conference to
order and on his nomination Bishop
Cranberry WAS chosen presiding officer OF
to.dAy's session. The venerable DR..
Joseph Cummins read the scripture Lesson
from Itaish, chapter 81.
The centenary hymn, composed for the
occasion by the Rev. s. K. Coz, D. d Of
Washington, was sung by the entire body
OF delegates, the audience uniting. The
singing was followed by prayers, CON-
Guiding with the Lords prayer.
Bishop Andrews announced that the
BibleS from which the lesson had been
read, was once the property OF John
Wesley. After the appointment Of a
committee on credentials, II was decided
that vacancies In the delegation and In
the lists Of substitutes be filed by the
bishops.

HIS Time OF Respite Expires To.
morrow Application for Another
The time Of respite Of JeSemiah Harri-
gan, the convicted murderer Of Dennis
Shea expires kto-morrow, and he will
be executed unless the governor
interferss to save his life. Harrigan has
been especially favored In matters Of re-
spites, having been granted three since
the sentence has been hanging over his
head.
Governor stookley will be asked to
grant a further stay Of execution or full
pardon by aoms OF the prisoners friends.
The previous respites were granted on
the ground that important testimony
Qualifying the killing had been discovered
after Harrigan had been sentenced, and
upon the same argument the respite will
be asked again.
The governor will undoubtedly either
grant respite or pardon II precedence
In similar cases 10 considered, and the
sheriff will not be called on to perform
duty as an exeoutioner. There Ia, Of
course, some speculation as TO whether q
further respite should be granted or an
absolute pardon given the prisoner.
There are great many who helped to
secure the previous respites who think
that only q respite should be asked for,
and that Hsrrigan should not yet be
given his liberty.

Company, the Pennsylvanis and the
Philadelphia, Wilmington & Baltimore
Railroad Companies, asking that the
junction company be epjoined from part
ing with, and the Philadelphia, Whining
ton & Baltimore Company from taking
three strips Of land in the Twenty seventh
ward. II ia commended by Mr.. Taylor
that the Philadelphia, Wilmington &
Baltimore had no authority for the CON
struotion OF the proposed road
or TO take land for such purpose and
that the members Of the junction rail
roads board who acoeded to It disre-
garded their obligations as trustees and
acted Ia the interest Of the Pennsylvania
railroad. The purpose Of the Pennsyl.
vania, IL Is averred, is to connect the

setting mp rival line. The case was
put upon the regular argument list. The
bill was presented BY one Of the solicitors
Of the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad
Company.
