Shocking Results of Fire In a Philadelphia Furniture and
 Upholstering House.
A WILD RUSH FOR FIRE ESCAPES.
The Flames Spread With Such Ter ribIe Rapidity that Many Were Overcome While Seeking Safety in Flight Or Buried Under Ruins of Fallen Walls.

Philadelphia, Oct. 26.-A fire in which the police say F persons lost their lives, many more were seriously and perhaps fatally injured, occurred in the heart of the business section in the city. The nine-story building at 1919 and 1921 Market street, oc- ,cupied by Hunt, Wilkinson & Co.,, upholsterers and furniture dealers, and two unoccupied buildings at 1923 and 1925 Market street, were de- stroyed. Many other buildings were damaged, and the loss is estimated to be upwards of $500,000.
 The Start of the Fire.
 The fire started at 10:30 o'clock. It is supposed to have been caused by an explosion of benzine or naptha, which, with other materials used in the manufacture of furniture, was stored in the cellar. The flames shot up the elevator shaft, and in less than five minutes every one of the nine floors of the structure was ablaze.
 Rush For the Fire Escapes.
 There were 320 employees, men and women, at work in the different de- partments at the time. Those on the second floor were the first to see the flames. Instantly there was a wild rush for the fire escapes, but owing to the higAly-infammable nature of the material used by the firm, the blaze spread with remarkable rapidl- ty dealing death to the llnfortunates as they made frantic but unsuccessful efforts to escape. One woman leaped from one of the top floors into Mar ket street, and was instantly killed. Another was roasted to death as she was descending the fire escape in the rear of the building. Two others eith- CT jumped or fell from the fire es- cape and were killed. Five others who leaped from windows were picked up living, but they died on the way to the hospital.
 Buried Under the Ruins.
 While the fire escape was filled with the panic-stricken men and women, the wall collapsed, and eight persons are known to have been buried in the ruins. A few minutes later the front wall fell inward, and it is not known whether any bodies are under it. If such is the case, the persons were probably burned to death before the wall collapsed. When the fremen reached the rear of the building which faces on Commerce street, small thoroughfare, they found the street literally piled up with victims who had been carried down by the falling wall. These were hastily con- veyed to the nearest hospitals.
 Prevented Spread of Flames.
 A new eight-story building at 1217 Market street, as yet unoccupied, pre- vented the spread of the flames to the eastward, in which direction they were blown by the wind

KANANl HAS A
CRUEL HUSBAND

Hattie Kanan4 (w.) has filed a libel
for divorce in the First Circuit Court
against her husband, Joseph Kaio. The
couple were married at Waianae IN
1889, and have since lived in Honolulu
as man and wife up 10 a month ago.
The wife complains that within a year
or their marriage the husband COM
menced course of unkind, harsh and
tyrannical conduct toward her, which
continued with very slight intermis-
sions until she fled from him about a
month ago for fear of her life. She
says he has been guilty of extreme
cruelty toward her, and has on many
occasions assaulted, beaten and struck
her, and at divers times threatened
to kill her.
Within the last two months, and at
three times at Waianae, and at Homo
lulu, while she was asleep in bed, Kaio
has assaulted and struck her ana 9TH

and she has not dared to return.
Since she left his house the husband
has refused to provide for her support
and maintenance, and she is now des-
titute and in great want, and is with
out the means to prosecute her suit.
Kaio has been in the employ of the
Waianae as assistant engineer, and as
such, receives $40 a month as wages.
She asks that the libelee be restrained
from coming near her person, as she
fears he will commit violence.

A TIMBER RAFT FOR THE ORIENT
The Robertson Raft. Co., of Portland,

future, construct q raft containing
nearly ten million feet Of logs and tow
it across the Pacific ocean, to oriental
ports. The company operates a plant
on the Columbia, at Westport, about
GO miles below Portland, and have
constructed and lowed many RATS OF
logs from that point TO San Francisco,
and have concluded that it is entirely
feasible to tow one successfully across
the ocean. The raft contemplated
will be dashed together by more than a
thousand tons of chain of the best

A RIVER OF FIRE.-A singular dis
aster happened to the little village OF
Glengarden, N. j., Sunday morning,
rendered possible by the site of the
town being in valley and the track
of the New Jersey Central running
along the side of mountain. A train
composed of coal cars and oil tanks
while passing along the elevated grade
parted on a descending grade. The
engineer pulled open the throttle and
tried to keep away from the rear Sec
ton which was steadily gaining
fearful, momentum from its weight
on steep grade. The two sections
finally came together, and the tanks
piled up on each other. The oil ignit.
ed and exploded and the heat caused
each succeeding car to blow up and
add its supply to the burning mass.
A stream OF liquid fire ran down the
principal street setting each building
successfully aflame, their occupants in
many instances being barely able to
escape with their lives. The loss is
estimated at $4,000.

after the English House of Lords, and
is based upon the assumption that a
" better" class would be chosen

than by the people themselves. In
other words, it was thought that the
power of position and wealth would
place in the upper branch of Congress
a conservative class of lawmakers who
could not be controlled directly by

Canned Butter.

And now they are putting butter
into cans for distant shipments and
a probable long time before it reaches
the consumer. An establishment for
canning butter has been established
at Portland, to fill the Alaskan de-
mand for fresh product which is not
always available under the ordinary
methods for preserving the sweetness
of the article as it leaves the dairy.
1t may be that the prediction of our
nelghbors across the Columbia for
canneries, AS exemplified in mainten-
ance OF a" horse beef' cannery, at
Linnton, a suburb, will rather initiate
against the success of the canned
butter enterprise, but it is only those
sensitive people whose imagination
runs beyond bounds who will see any
connection between horse-beef"
factory and cow-butter" cannery.
The process by which butter is
embalmed" so that it will keep for
any reasonable length OF time, is de.
scribcd by the Portland Tradesman, of
the 9th inst, substantially as follows:
In the first place good creamery but
ter is secured, but whether it is abso-
lutely essential that it. have the
creamery brand upon it or not, is not
stated. The rolls are, however, al.
lowed to remain i'll the original wrap
per, just as they come from the
creamery, but are placed in another
and heavier wrapper of vegetable
parchment which is sealed with para.
fine. excluding all air from contact
with the butter. The rolls are then
placed in key.opening cans, CORE.
spending in size every way but in
length. The cans are about half an
inch longer than the rolls. Before
the butter is placed in them, the cans
are lined with coating of parafine,
which with that substance on the
wrapper, excludes any chance Of ab-
sorption Of poisonous acids from the
tin or otherwise and serves as a lubri-
cant in removing the roll from the
can on opening. After the butter is
placed in the can, the top is soldered
on, and perforated with two small
holes, through which a quantity of
brine sufficient to fill the surplus
space is forced. The holes are then
soldered up and the can is ready for a
voyage to our most distant posses
sions, if necessary. The brine not
only excludes the air, but preserves
the sweetness of the contents al we'll.
The first butter sent to Alaska,
seems to have been lacking in
strength to stand the trip, but devel-
oped an unique flavor soon after ar.
irving at destination, which caused
the hardy miners noses to rise in dis.
gust and their stomachs to revolt to
the point Of retching.
The product of the Portland can.
merry has been in use about year and |
large shipments have been sent TO
Alaska and the Orient with complete
success.
