Philadelphia Fire,

\ fire that swept the northwest and
northeast corners of Eighth and Arch
streets, and partly burned the buildings
on the southwest and southeast corners,
broke out Monday night at II o'clock, in
Marks Brothers great millinery store, at
the northwest corner, and in less than
half an hour a mountain of flame, driven
by an angry southwest wind, leaped
across Eighth street to Adolph Heller's
millinery store, on the southeast corner,
and then up on Eighth street, on either
side, for two hundred feet and east and
west on Arch street, on the north and
south sides, for the same distance. Ee-
fore midnight nearly all the big retail
millinery houses in that section of the
city were heap Of ruins, and 100000
worth Of laccs, silks, women's flneries
and other property had gone up in flame
and millions of sparks and great clouds
of smoke, that swept on in diagonal
direction, like black train of disaster,
TO the Delaware.

THE ORIGIN or THE FIRE.
The fire originated in Marks Brothers
chimney. The engines were called out
at o'clock in the evening, when Il sheet
of fame leaped out of the furnace nue.
The engine room was in the cellar and
supplied the power to run the elevator
heat the building and run the electric
dynamos After chemical engine No. .
had distinguished the flame and the fire
men thought the fire had been eiiectual-
ly quenched they went away at o'clock
but the fire in the furnace heated the
chimney again and at II o'clock another
huge tongue of flame belched out of the
chimney and licked the roof Almost
in an instant the mansard roof which
was the third story, was in blaze, and
Officer Orr, of the Sixth district, who
saw the light from the southeast corner
of Eighth and Arch streets, hurried to
to Ninth and Arch street and struck the
alarm. He hurried back to Eighth street
and found the flames dancing in mad
fury all over the roof of Marks Brothers
building. Then he ran back to Ninth
street and struck second alarm. The
engines were quick TO respond, cut the
mad wind freshened up while they were
making connections with the fire-plugs
and sucked the flames from the roof
down into the second story windows. In
twenty minutes the whole building,
which was three stories high, was
mountain Of seething, roaring flame.
Then it leaped half way across Eighth
street with fresh burst of wind and in
another instant the cornice of Adolph
Hellers three-story brick building was a
fringe of flame. 1t ran like Il creeping
serpent along the roof to Strouse, Than
hauser K Co.'S, building, which adioins
it onthe north, and like burst of light
ming, the flames shot up and down and |
over the two buildings.

History of the Bank.

CINCINNATI, Feb THE Metropolitan
National bank was the outgrowth of the old
private banking house of j. f. Larkin &
Company. 1t was organized on January Is,
1881. J. +. Larkin was elected president and
j. r. De Camp vice president. The capital
stock was $500, 900, and the bank was located
in modest apartment on the south side of
Third street between Walnut and Vine
streets. 1t is said the bank did large bust
ness until the capital stock was increased.
In February. 1882, Hon. William Means
was elected president to succeed Larkin. A
number OF changes also took place in the
directory. OF the original board of direc-
tors only two, E. NJ Roth and j. r. De
Camp, were in the bank at the time of the
suspension. In July, 1886, the Metropolitan
branched out into its new and elegant quar-
tiers in the United bank building, at Third
and Walnut streets. No bank in the country
has more handsome or convenient apart
ments The building is very imposing from
the outside, while within the work is Of
the finest description. The interior Is of ma
hogany, while the wood work carving is very
artistic.
The bank fixtures are of the costliest and
most modern patterns, and all the offices are
admirably arranged. The vaults Of the bank
are the best in the west, both as to construc-
ton, safety and appearance. The lower
vault is burglar proof, and both vaults can
Withstand fire or attack of amy kind. Both
vaults are secured by Yale Hme-loclzs, and
the bolt works are of the most massive
character
