Another Philadelphia Post has lost all its worldly
possessions by the fire fend. This time it is g. ID.
Baker Post, No. S. The Post is one of the largest
IN TINS Department, and Its members have already
made arrangements, am informed, to build quar-
tiers of their own. The fire which destroyed the
Post room broke out on Monday evening, March
4. The Post was located in q building adjoining a
large marke thouse at Broad and Columbia ave-
nue., in that city. When the flames, which orlgi-
mated IN the markethouse were discovered they
were leapng DerceS from the roof ana Dy the liult
the fremen reached the scene the fire had gained
much Roadway. 1t was necessary to sound second
alarm, and by the time the additional tire-engines
responded the flames had spread with alarming
rapidity. The entire northern section of the city
was brilliantly illuminated by the flames, and 1t
was thought for time that it would prove one OF
the most disastrous fires which have occurred IN the
Quaker City for many years. The Razors,' as
the members of Post No. s are better known To
many comrades, had many valuable war relics and
numerous battlet1ags, which, OF course, 1t VIII De
impossible to replace Among these were the
headquarters flag of the Fifth Corps, commanded
by Gen. e. X Warren; the colors of the lst Pa. car
ried IN the Mexican war, and presented TO the Post
by Mrs. Col. William F. Small the flag which
waved over the Cooper Shop Refreshment Saloon
during the late war; one of the battlefags OF the
9lst Pa, and the Signal Corps flag used during the
rebellion by that branch of the service and pre-
sented 10 the Post by the late Gen Hazen. Ali the
books, records of the Post and library containing
over 500 volumes were also consumed. The guard
OF the Post also lost all its property The money
value OF the Post property Is placed ut about 80 co.,
upon which there is insurance of 81 600 On last
Friday evening the members held meeting In the
hall OF Anna NJ. Ross Post, No. o. Letters of SYM
pathy were read from number of Posts who also
oferd the homeless comrades the use OF their re-
spective quarters. They decided to make tempo
rary use of the quarters of the Silver Spring Rifles
an organization of cadets attached to the Post, at
Tenth street and Montgomery avenue. II Is a mat
ter of much regret that 1 write of the disastrous
ilre, but feel assured that the Razors Will not
long be homeless.
After careful consideration the Joint committees
of the Grand Army of Pennsylvania and the
State Legislature, bill was framed looking to the
care of the soldiers orphans Senator Goblin intro
duced the bill in the State Senate last week. Its
essential features explained, and can be readily
