FIRE
Famed by Strong Breeze
Flames Leap From Build
ing to Building.
FlREMEN OVERCOME BY HEAT
Loss in Two Hours Was
About Half a Million
Dollars.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 13.-One Of the
fierc EST 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 q Brown, at 412
Franklin street. The building was five
stories in height and extended through
to Eighth street. 1t is 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 it's way through to Cal
low Hill street, one bloch south. The
dwellings, 4lO, Ala, 4l6, 4lS. 42o, 422
and IA Franklin street, were quickly
destroyed. A strong breeze from the
northwest is tanning the flames.
1t is reported that three employees
We're burned to death in the box fac
tory, but this cannot be verified. In
the rear of Browns factory and facing
on Eighth street, was Buck q Co. S
big gas fixture and chandelier factory.
This firm carried 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, 900.
