A Bad Fire.

Yesterday morning, about O'Clock, flames
were discovered issuing from one Of the win
dows of John Gross book bindery establish
ment on Main street, few doors west of La
Sale. This bindery is located on the second
floor and the fire must have been burning in
the room for Il considerable length Of time be-
fore it was discovered, although it was on
one Of the principal streets in the city.
The question naturally enough presents itself
as to the whereabouts Of the policeman, at
that time, whose duty it was to have passed
there at least once during the time the fire was
| in progress, and before it was discovered.
The fire company responded to the alarm with
commcndble promptitude, and it was certain.
ly owing to this that huge conilagration was
prevented. The establishment of John Gross
was badly damaged by fire, water and smoke,
and his loss may possibly amount to $1,000
on stock and wetting Of tools, &C., his ma.
chinery and stock being insured for $500.
The premium lists Of the Wenona Union Fair,
$500 copies the property of the Index, were
ruined by water and the work will have to be
gone over again. About 1900 worth Of court
house work there for binding was destroyed.
On work that should have been gotten out
weeks (some of it months) before the fire, but
which owing to the ineXcusable negligence
and dilatoriness of the proprietor of the estab-
lishmcnt, had accumulated there, the FREE

delays of the binder, were worth between
$3.50 and 5000. Considerable Of this property
is uniniured. The first floor was occupied
by Miller IL Douvia as saloon, and the water
coming through the ceiling has damaged the
stock and furniture to the extent of 800, and
the same amount of loss was occasioned by
water in the adjoining saloon of McGovern &
I Mcintyre A great many persons who had
valuable works, pamphlets, &c, there for
binding have also met with losses which can
not be. asccrtained. The building is owned by
J. B. Hamalle, now in Paris, and is damaged
to the extent of $50, fully insured. The
origin Of the fire is stated to be Spontaneous

~PHrLApELPHIA, February %, 1885.
If you want to know what
sort of spirit Guinet puts
into his work, look at his
meanest silk here under a
magnifying glass. 1t is only
a 75-cent silk. That price
has to pay for the silk, the
dyeing, the making, the
makers profit, transporta-
ton, the U. S. tariff of fifty
per cent, and our profit
not very much for raw mate
ria, There isn't a waste
ounce "a a piece of it. The
cross threads are supposed
TO be covered-no matter
about them. The warp is
as bright and even and
strong as in the higher
grades; but very little of it.
That's the secret of
Guinet's strength. His silk
is silk. How we manage to
put it below competition we'd
rather not tell just now.
But sos for $l.25, 81 for
$3.50, and SO on.
Southwest from the center.
That unprecedented dollar
ladies' cloth for IS cents
unprecedented is exactly the
word; about fifty colors
and notifies and mixtures;
one constant quality of cloth;
56-inch $3.50 for a So
dress, six yards.
If we had a lot of unac-
ceptable colors, the cloth
might still be dollar ladies'
cloth but there wouldn't be
anything unprecedented in
our putting it down to IS
cents. If there were some
flaw in the making, or if the
market we're over-full, or if
cloths were going out of use,
this still might be dollar
ladies' cloth ; but it would
have to go down to get sold.
Not so. The colors are
right, the wool is right, the
making is right, the market
is comparatively empty, and
fashion favors cloths. This
unexceptionable dollar la
dies'-cloth goes down to IS
cents ; and no one but us
and another knows why. 1t
doesn't concern you why.
Just like the black silks.
