STATISTICS OF CLAY WORKING.

Some Interesting Figures Given Out by
tho Geological Survey.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-The statis-
tics of the clay working industries of
the United States are reviewed in the
report of the geological survey. 1t is
the first time that this subject has been
considered in an annual survey report.
A list of over ID, 900 has been procured
and information obtained from nearly
all Of them.
The total value of the clay products
of the United States in 1894, excluding
pottery, was over 500, 0OO, 900. The
only comparison hat can be made is
with the census Of 1890, which placed
the value at $67, 600, 600.
Ohio stands at the head of the states
in clay manufacture, it's products be-
ing valued at $40, 668, 5000, or over IL
per cent of the product of the whole
country. The other states follow
in this order: Illinois, IL per
cent; Pennsylvania, II per cent;
New York, 8 per cent; New Jersey, 6
per cent; Indiana, s per cent; Missouri
and Iowa, 4 per cent; Massachusetts
and Michigan, 81 per cent; Maryland,
Wisconsin and Minnesota. . per cent.
Discussing asphaltum, the review
says that the largest deposits are found
in California, Oklahoma, Texas and
Montana. 1t is also found in Ken.
lucky and Ohio. That from Okla
homa is the purest in the world, the
total product Of 1894 being valned at

PHILADELPHIA FIRE
Fanned by a Strong Breeze
Flames Leap From Build-
ing 70 Building.
OVERCOME BY HEAT
Loss in Two Hours Was
About Half a Million
Dollars.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 1S.-One of the
fiercest fires that has visited this city
for some time originated at $50 a. m.
in the rear of the paper box factory of
Brown, Bailey & Brown, at 412
Franklin street. The building was five
stories in height and extended through
to Eighth street. It is a complete loss.
The factory was completely surrounded
by small dwellings. The flames leaped
across Willow street to the dwellings
on the south side of that thoroughfare
and rapidly ate its way through to Cal
low Hill street, one bloch south. The
dwellings, 40, 414, 416, 418, 400, 422
and 424 Franklin street, were quickly
destroyed. A strong breeze from the
northwest is tanning the flames.
1t is reported that three employees
were burned to death in the box fac
tory, but this cannot be verified. In
the rear of Browns factory and facing
IN Eighth street, was Buck & Co.'s
big gas fixture and chandelier factory.
This firm carried a big stock and the
loss will be heavy. Yeager & Davis
big coal yard on the southeast corner
of Eighth and Willow streets is also
burning. Several firemen, who were
overcome by the heat, were removed to
the hospital. The loss at the end of
two hours was about $500, OO0.
