Two Phfladelphia OIL Warehouses Burned
Through the Dropping OF Lamp BY .
Careless Workman--Personal Injuries
and Marrow Escapes.
PHILADELPHIA, PA, January 2l.-A
workman named Kessler in r. j. Allen
q Sons oil warehouse, ll5 Arch street,
dropped lamp on the basement door
about Eve O'Clock last evening. The oil
soaked timbers, instantly iEnited, and
the flames spread SO fast that Kessler
had difficulty in escaping. He was 50
badly burned that he was removed 70
a hospital, and is in critical condition;
The flames soon enveloped and ruined
the whole building.
Samuel Bailey, q packer, who was y
work in the rear of the first floor wnen
the fire broke out, is missing, ana u 10
believed he was burned to death.
Two young ladies, employed on the
second floor as stenographers, had marrow
escapes. One got out of WINDOW
and walked along the projecting ieoges
of the window stills until she reached
place of safety in an adjoining buildlng.
The other waited at q window until 2
ladder was brought, and she was carrieu !,
down by the firemen. The nre sprea9
from the Allen building to Crew, Levlck
& CO.'S OIL warehouse, No. 40
street, and that building was also oe-
stroyed.
The firemen by this time were able to
check the further progress OF the nre 70
the eastward. On the west was VIM.
Kirkson s. Co.'s benzine store, NO. II!
Arch street. The three upper floors OF
this building were used as cheap lodg-
ing house. The building was Quilted. !.
AS the burning buildings were situated
In what is known as the Oil District,
nearly the entire fire department was
summoned to the vicinity to prevent
great confederation. For time there
was great excitement over rumors of loss
of life, but so far Bailey is the only per-
son missing. The buildings were old and
not very valuable, and the stocks
contained in them were not large, as an
ordinance strictly limits the amount OF
oil which may be- stored in warehouses
within the city. Allen, Son & Co. lose
5000 on STOCK and building; Crew
Levick & Co., 5000, and King, Son !
Co., $4,000; all covered by insurance.

A Few Words to wives.

Encourage strict confidence with
your husband; withhold nothing
from him, and be patient in hearing
all he would confide to you, that he
may always fly to you as his coun-
sellor and best friend.
BE punctual to second in all en-
gagements with your husband and
he will be the same with you, and in
thus doing you will avoid much that
is unpleasant.
Practice economy in taking care
of what you have, keeping a strict
account of what you spend, buying
nothing but what you pay for imme-
diatelv and making your account of
each months expenses show you
have more than you have spent.
This is q great way to win mans
respect, to make him think he has
little savings bank upon which he
can rely in time of sickness and fl
nancial difficulty.
Rule only by love. Strive to call
out the best feelings of your hus-
bands nature with continual loving
attentions, which, though they may
be small in themselves, make such q
strong chain around his heart IN
time that he cannot turn carelessly
aside from you.
Go out always with your husband,
but manage to make home so attrac-
tive that he finds no place so dear.
Dress better for your husband than
for any one else. Take pride in
his appearance that he may judge
your heart by his own. Never allow
him to see you slatternly attired.
Even be tasty in q kitchen dress or
looking pretty over kitchen board.
Be strong in your determination
never to gossip, to harshly criticise.
Nothing men so much despise. as Cos
sip; nothing makes a woman rise so
much in a good mans estimation AS
to see her charitable, particularly
with her own sex. For large char
ity does never soil, but only softens
white hands,
Put down your book when your
husband enters the room and inter-
est yourself in whatever pleases him,
seeking also to bring him over to
your tastes. Try for mutual con-
cessions, else you may travel differ
ent roads.
Never bother your husband about
the servants Cast aside disagreea-
ble~topics when he returns from bus
mess. Give your orders to your
servants kindly but firmly, exacting
obedience, yet showing them the en-
couragement Of consideration when
it is in your power.
If more mothers gave one-tenth
good advice to nine-tenths wedding
outfit there'd be fewer thoughtless
marriages. And betterye ifevery
mother made it a point to follow
these rules as closely herselfas she
would like to see her daughters do,
girls would look longer for good men
like their fathers and try harder to
be good women like their mothers
