LONDON BURNING.
The Most Destructive Confiagration In
Many Years--F1ames Spreading In All
Dlpacftnns

| Tie MOST destructive COnfagration In
Many Years--Flames Spreading In All
Directions.
LONDON, Dec. 30-A terrific fire is
now q p. n.y. raging in this city The
scene of the fire is in Queen Victoria
and Thames streets, near Blackfriars'
bridge. Numerous warehouses are
blazing, and London seems to be des-
tined to suffer one of the largest and
most destructive fires in its history of
recent years.
A high wind was blowing and it ma
terially added to the fury of the flames,
while hindering the firemen in their
efforts to save property. Terrible sheets
of flame and clouds of hot smoke were
frequently whirled dangerously near
the struggling firemen, who met with
little or no success in their battle with
the fiery element. The large wholesale
fur mandatory of Revillon Frerea, ex-
tending from No. 1877 to 141 Queen Vic
toria street, was said to be doomed
shortly after the fire gained strong
Roadway.
Following this news was the informa-
ton that u large paper warehouse, a
number of fancy goods stores and the
Gulcher Electric Light and Power Com
pany's building were also complete
prey to the flames Immense crowds of
people gathered on the bridges over the
Thames and looked on at the confiagra-
ton.
As the fire progressed il spread TO the
headquarters of the Salvation Army,
illuminating that red painted "blood
and fire" building in most ominous
manner The Salvationists are working
like beavers in their efforts to place the
records and other property of the army
in a place of safety before it is too
late.
At this hour, A p. M, the fire is rapidly
spreading in all directions. Ali the
buildings from the corner Of Bennet's
Hill tc No. 1876 Queen Victoria street
are either blazing tiercely or else are
Quilted, smouldering red ruins, with
scorched, blackened shells around them,
and all this ruin has been done and
much more is being done to all appear
ances unchecked, in spite of the pres
ence of 20 steam fire engines, two fire
escapes and large number of old
manual" fire engines arc upon the
scene.
A rough estimate of the damage done
places the amount at f300,000 or
$1,500,000, but this estimate is thought
to be under the real amount. Two mil
lion dollars, it is said, may eventually
prove to be the cost of the fire.

4. R. FRIES ANorn Err DEF4 UTTER
He Skips the Town by Night, Leaving
Several Thousands of Dollars In Debts

He skips the Town by Night, Leaving
Several Thousands of Dollars In Debts
Behind.
A, X. Fries, toy dealer and general
merchant at No. 500 King street, has
absconded, leaving an amount Of debts
which may sum up to $4,000. The
larger part of the sum is, it is under
stood, due Philadelphia creditors. Sew
eral hundred dollars of debts are dis
tribnted among local creditors. Among
these it is stated are the unfortunate
clerks (who aided Fries in his Christ
mas holiday trade) profits, all of which
he has run off with.
The store and contents are in the
hands of the constable and a sale will
be held in fortnight or so. The story
told of Fries depredations shows de.
termined conspiracy on his part to cheat
every one right and left. This has all
month or SO. EARLY last spring Fries,
who 1t is now stated is Philadelphia
lawyer, bought farm property near
Chelsea, Delaware county. He made
a small payment on account,
and then obtained credits by
which he put up an expensive
puliulHB, MednIllne ne ODLalneu Ln6
agency representing large farm imple-
ment firm. He soon got behind in his
rent, and the owner of the property
finding that the back rent overlapped
the payment Fries had made, pressed
him. Then Fries had bankrupt sale
and neatly skipped over the State line
with all the proceeds of the implements
sale, leaving everyone in the lurch. This
was accomplished at night, and the
rascal appeared near Bethel Church with
fair share of unsold plumber in tow. He
next rented small farm from certain
Widow Pierce. He sold out there again
and came to Wilmington, establishing
himself in the toy business at No. 609
King street. Here he invited drummers
from New York and Philadelphia to
stock his store with goods on credit.
His FEASIBILITY was such that he got all
the goods he wanted. The store was
filled to excess. Other toy sellers of the
city were undersold 80 and rs per cent.
Indeed during the holidays Fries sold
articles for 20 cents that cost 81 whole
sale. This was kept up to the day before
Christmas. Then Fries, after scraping
together all he could, cleft for a day on
business" He has not been seen since.
On Christmas eve gentleman Of this
city saw Fries on one of the roads out
Of the city. He had a wagon piled up
high with store goods. The person who
saw the wagon load and the defaulter
has no doubts whatever about the mans
identity.
