TWENTY TAKE THE OATH
Additional Policemen Assigned to Duty by
Major Moore.
Transfers Recently Made Cause Dis
safisfac tiOn-Lfst of the New Men
and of Those Promoted.

There was a scene of activity in police
headquarters this morning. when the TWEEN
ty new policeman appeared to be sworn in.
and when some of the men who had re-
ceived merited promotions called to show
their appreciation of what had been done
for them. 1t had been thought by some of
the officers that there would be a great
number of changes made today, but it is
generally believed that nothing in this di-
rection will be done until after the adjourn
ment of Congress.
The men who were most disappointed
We're several of those who had been trans
ferred. as published in Tuesdays Star.
Especially disappointed of these were the
men transferred from the sixth precinct
Officers Creagn and kimmell. The for
mer's retention In the precinct was asked
Tor by delegation of business men.
The twenty men added today brought the
totai number on the force up to 545, in
Guiding 300 privates of class one and 200 of
class two. This is more than double the
membership when Major Moore was placed
i'll command.

DESTROYED BY FIRE.
Largest Confiagration Since the
Wanamaker Fire.
ESTIMATED LOSS $5OO.OOo
Carpet Warehouse of John and
James DObsOn Dcstroyed---
Sharpless and HOskins
Damaged.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1.-THE larges
conf1gration in this city since the biz
Wanamaker fire OF last winter, occurred
tonight, involving an estimate loss o
S5OO,OOO.
The buildings destroyed or damaged
were the six-story carpet warehouse o
John Il James Dobson, in which the fire
originated the Commonwealth Title
and Trust Company, sharpless Brothers
and Hosking big stationary store. Fou1
fire alarms were turned in and almost
all the entire fire service of the city were
called out.
On account of the enormous crowd the
fiemen were slow in getting to work,
however, and it was nearly half all hour
after the fire broke out beform a stream
of water was turned on.
About $50 O'Clock, while thousands OF
pedestrians were vending their way
along Chestnut street, near Ninth street,
they were startled by the sound
of tremendous explosion in
the neighborhood Of the Postofiice.
1t was severely felt near the Girard
House, several OF the buildings being
badly shaken.
In Il few moments great masses Of
flames were seen to shoot from the
upper windows of the great carpet house
Of John and James Dobson> The
lircmen were quickly on the spot,
but before they arrived the streets were
packed with people who smarmcd by
thousands from the various stores and
and shops i'll the vicinity.
Every effort was made to combat the
fire but in spite Of the work of the iiremen,
it gained hcadway fer over half an hour.
1t was feared that the Girard and
Continental Hotels would be reached by
the flames but fortunately the wind was
in the other direction and they escaped
with 4 good scorchng The fire COM
pany of the Continental Hotel did good
work by keeping Il constant stream on
the Gilurd House and the surrounding
buildings.
After Il stubborn fight for an hour and
II half, the fire which was kept confined
to the DobSon building, was gotten I'M
der control. Sllarpiess Il Bros big dry
goods stores on the east and lIoskins |
stationery store on the west were SoMic-
what damaged by water and smoke.
TT turned out that what vas thought |
to be the explosion from which the fire
started, was the crash Of Il falling wall
and seems by that, that the fire must
have been raging within for some time
prior to the fall. No tremcn were i'll
urcd.
