ell, at the corner of Bridge and Franklin

and In few minutes the flames were ex-
tinguished. The building, however, wae
total loss. Mr.. Mitchell's loss will reach

A business Jubilee.

On Thursday evening, April 10th, there
was happy gathering at the Manufac.
turers' Club, Philadelphia, when the
stock holders and creditors OF the we'll
known house of Queen & Co., 1910
Chestnut ST., dealers in optical and scien-
tific Instruments, rendered a testimonial TO
John G. Gray.
Two years ago, when depression In
business caused an assignment TO be
made by the firm, Mr.. Gray wac made It's
assignee so we'll did he handle the assets
of The company that he paid the creditors
In full with interest aud the estate was
reassigned 10 the company with hand.
some surplus exceeding $4,000 Mr..
Gray was presented with q set OF the En-
cyclopedia Britannica, the speech being
made by A. G.. Elliot. After addresses
by Mr.. Gray, William Ii. Rhawn, Pro.
fessor Houston, Hampton l.. Carson, and
Samuel l.. Fox, the guests were invited
to partake of collation..
The house of Queen & Co. was estab-
lished in 1858 by James w. Queen. Mr..
Queen was known to all the scientific
men of his day, host of whom delighted
to visit his establishment. Mr.. Queen
instituted the greatly reduced weight in
spectacles, as they are now made, and i'm
ported the fret forms for grinding spec
tacle glasses that were used In the United
States. He made the first kaleidoscope,
the first magic lantern, stereopiicon, ster-
eoscope, microscope and platina points
for lightning rods.
In 1858 Mr.. Queen was joined by Nj.
Samuel l.. Fox, as equal partner. The
firms name then became James w. Queen
Sc Co. The store was at 924 Chestnut
Street, and was eighteen feet wide aud
forty feet deep. The present store, 10lC
Chestnut ST., is twenty-four feet wide,
two hundred and thirty five feet deep and
four stories in height.
In 1870 Mr.. Queen retired from bust
ness, selling his interest to Mr.. Fox, who
continued the firm name OF Jamts W.
Queen 81 Co. until the year 1893, wher
the stock corporation Of Queen & Co. was
formed. The assignment which the com
pany was obliged to make in 1894 wal
due to the expansions made in the manu-
featuring and store plants to meet the 10
creasing demand for scientific instru
ments, and TO the awful business depres
sion of 1898. The appraised assets o
the company at the time Of the assign
ment were about $400, 900, and the obi
cations nearly $3.50, 900.
Mr.. Gray has been connected with thu
company since 1882, and In the reorgan
ization of the officers of the company, as
sumes the presidency.

Last Monday morning, the boiler at
tached to the Acme steam engine 10
Stockton's ice cream garden on Church
street, in this city, exploded with loud
noise, tearing out the end and side OF the
building 10 which II was located, and
breaking the engine and boiler to pieces.
Some parts OF the boiler were scattered
over the adjoining yard. Fortunately,
Mr.. Stockton and two others had left the
building minute before the explosion.
Mr.. Stockton thinks the accident occurred
owing to the freezing up of the boiler
during the winter, which cracked some Of
the tubes. He had had the boiler repair
ed before using it, but some defecta may
have been undiscovered. The boiler was
carrying so pounds of steam at the time.
Things were soon pat 10 working order
again, and the supply ofStockton's super
Tor ice cream is in no wise reduced by the
accident.
