rates has resulted from the negotiations carried on by
COMMISSIONER Fink siuce the last meeting Of the pres

Rates from the West are stin being cut, although Mr.
Fink says that situation is improving. For the last

the serious part Of the cutting but the charges
are deuied by them 1t is admitted that Lar

4 BIG FIRE IN PHILADELPHIA.
LOSS NEARLY A MILLION DOLLARS.
POWERS a wEIGHTMAN's IMMENSE CHEMICAL
WORKS DESTROYED.

WORKS DESTROYED.
PHILADELPHIA. Feb 29.-Five fires occurred
during the night in this city. The wind blew almost
gale and owing this and tie great dstancs be-
tw cen the alarms the hrenen found much trou
bl in keepnC the flames under control The latest aud
most Obstructive was that at the chemical works Of
Powers & Weghimau, the largest OF the kind in the
countIy which were totally destroyed Every fire
pany In tho city in service at one time
with one exception, company at FRANKFORT
left there precautionary measure to protect the
great number OF mills in that neghborhoOd. Indeed, the
earlier fires in the same district Powers Weightman
prevented response TO the first alarm sent out the
outbreak Of this fire. Finally, at 215 general
alarm was sounded The tremen responded as promptly
as possible but they weary after working at one
fire after another aud benunbed with cold. They worked
hcroicaly, however.
OILS AND CHEMICALS IGNITE.
Bv o'clock tho chemicals seemed to burn with such
extraordinary ferceneIs and the fire was evidently
spreadng so rapidly thai the residents in the neghbor
hood left the houses in alarm sought refuge in the
houses of their neghbOrs These people in turn fed as
the fire advanced the police fearing that the flight OF
40 many people would result seriously exered them
seves 10 keep them I'm their houses SO many however
were under the impression that terrible explosion
liable to occur at any moment in some part Of
the works, that 1t was difficult TO calm them.
cOIJAPsING WALLs-ICE-CLAD BUILDINGS.
From o'clock until the progress Of the fire was
simply that of gradual destruction of all nnsmmabls
matter within the confines already described, and there
was no fear Of it's spreading. The walls came crashing
down during the mornings but as these accidents were
not unexpected and the streets having been properly
roped Of no one hurt. Some or the walls are st
in dan gerous condition. and there talk OF blowing
down. That portion OF the building stu standing Is COW
cred with ice.
IL has been impossible to estimate tho loss ap
proIimately. The opinion prevailed this morning thas
Inc damage amounted to SlOOOOOO and that the insur
gpce was nearly $500 600, half or ii in this city.
