On Sunday morning, Dec. 2, n disastrous fire
broke ont In Industrial Art Hall, on Broad street,
Philadelphia, in which The Cavalry Post, No. 30,
and Pennsylvania Reserve Post. No. 49, have their
headquarters. Both Posts suffered great loss by
the confiagration The fire started about ii o'clock
in the morning, and before it was discovered
had made considerable Roadway. The hall IS
one of the largest in Philadelphia and is divided
into several sub-halls; there being one very large
one which has been used on several occasions for
walking-matches By the time the fire-engines
arrived on the scene the flames were shooting from
the windows and roof. Dense volumes of smoke
Issued from the lower portions of the hall, which
made the work of locating the heart of the fire
ceedlngly difficult The flames spread with great
rapidity, and soon reached the halls of the two
Posts. 1t took an hours hard work to get the fire
under control. The tattered battleflags and hand
some banners of The Cavalry Post were burned to
ashes. Almost everything in the room was ruined,
and the loss fthe Postis placed at about 800 The
billiard table, numerous relics and the aecumula-
ton of its 10 years existence were completely de-
stroyed. The accouterments of Post No. 19l were
also badly damaged, its loss being confined prn-
Il 81 m
hTemcn's hose. The loss is about $780, Both Posts
bent their energies toward, and now engaged
in, replacing, as far as possible their losses.
