was destroyed by fire this morning.
The loss is estimated at $500, 600. Mr..
Wananaker and his family were at
their Philadelphia home at the time.
The fire broke out during a heavy
storm, and is supposed to have been
caused by bolt of lightning. A
woman care tnker and her child aud q
man servant, who were sleeping In the
house, narrowly escaped being burned
to death. The fire was discovered at
5.20 o'clock, and SO rapidly did vt
spread that in less than half an hour
the mansion was destroyed. Mrs.
Seibert, the care.taker, was awakened
by a sharp thunder olap. She arr SCI

she found the hall filed with smoke.

town, Pa. was sent for, but it arrive
\ too late to be- of any use The house
was filled with valuable furniture,

most part from Italy.
At 8 O'Clock this morning a message
was received by MIR. Wanamakei to the
effect that the mansion was total

the fire.

SECURITIES TO REMAIN.

State Treasurer Not Required to Deliver

On tho suit OF Otto Kelsey, receiver

Judge Bradford decided yesterday
that the State treasurer could DOT be
compelled to deliver the securities. In
his decision Judge Bradford says that

and IL any one, hound by the decree
appointing the receivers, should take

an officer OF the corporation, like action
would be taken. But the State treasurer
is not a party to the cause, or an Off !
Ger of the col poratiop, nor did he take
this property from the custody Of the
receivers. Before any action was taken
the association transferred these securi-
ties to the State treasurer, and by law
he was required to hold them for
certain purposes. 1t nowhere appears
from the record that the association
has been dissolved, 1t is not shown
that the concern does not intend to do
business In Delaware In the future. BY
law 1t can only withdraw these seouri-
ties by substituting others equally as
good. and the case is therefore dis
missed.
1t IS hardly thought that the real
value Of the securities Is sufficient to
cover the 10000, which the Delaware

Bradstreet's Saturday: 1.-THE hard,

active, and some varieties Of goods,
notably barb wire, are scarce. Despite
the talk OF rate cutting and OF en-
pectations OF smaller movement Of
goods as the spring advances, railway
earnings continue exceptionally favor
able. Probably the best reports as to
new demands come from the leather
and allied trades, while the poorest, as
heretofore, are received from the textile
industries. Prices evinoe considerable
steadiness, despite slightly lower quo
tations, for cotton, corn, cheese and
petroleum. Cotton goods are In fair
demand from interior and Eastern job
bers, and retail business is apparently
proceeding at good rate. In first
hands, however, business Is decidedly
dull. The print cloths situation is
seem to have accomplished it's purpose,
and the Fal! River manufacturers are
expected to take some action shortly,
one feature of which may be re-
duction in wages. The demand for
mems clothing woolens has not come
up to expectations, while, on the other
hand, dress fabrics have sold quite
well. Wool Is slow of sale at the East,
but quite active at the West, where
quotations are said to be relatively
below those of the East. Raw cotton
IS lower, partly on better crop advioes.

January LIST shipments exceeded last

May corn have been closed at phe-
nomenal prices, owing to clever
manipulation at Chicago, and next
