A BIG FIRE IN PHILADELPHIA.
In which Twenty Persons Lose Their
Lives.

Philadelphia, Oct. 27-Nineteen per-
sons were killed and property valued at
$500,0O0 destroyed as the result of fire
which occurred in the business section of
the city. The number of injured is not
known definitely, but fully score of vie
tins were located at various hospitals. Po-
lice and firemen are tonight delving into
the ruins in search OF bodies supposed to
be buried beneath the debris, as it is feared
that others besides the known dead may
have lost their lives in the flames.
The buildings destroyed were the eight
story structure, 1919 and 1921 Market
street, occupied by Hunt, Wilkinson &
Co., upholsterers and furniture dealers,
and three story building occupied by
small merchantmen. The big furniture
building extended back half block to
Henry Cleas. The list of known dead
follows:
Dorothy Kramer, Martha Baker, Mar
garet Hebden, Susan Gormley, Harry
House, ii. A. Sparrow, Charles T.. Spar
row, Fred Wilmington, Charles Landis one
unknown white woman, Walter Stearly,
j. +. Armstrong, Mrs. Martha Banks
(colored), Mrs. Mary Mitchell (colored) =,
Margaret Grady, four unknown white
men.
Blaze I'm the Basement.
At 1920 o'clock this morning the blaze
broke from the building occupied by
Hunt, Wilkinson & Co. 1t is said that an
a y nj nf h, To-,
basement was the cause, but this is de.
MED by Mr.. Wilkinson, who says there
never was sufficient quantity of either
explosive about the building to be re-
sponsble for today's disaster. Rumor has
it also that an elevator constructor at
work in the basement permitted the flame
of his lantern to communicate with some
Of the gaseous liquids stored in the base
ment. and this was the cause of the con.
flagration.
LATER.
Philadelphia, Oct 2S.-Amther body
was recovered from the ruins of Hunt.
Wilkinson & Co.'S building, which was
destroyed by fire, making the number OF
dead 20. The body recovered was so badly
eharred as to be unrecognizable.
1t will be some days before the number
Fof fatalities can be determined Up to
this time the firemen and police have the
names of Is people, including a number of
women, who are unaccounted for. In or
der to correctly determine the number of
missing, officials Of the department OF
public safety began systematic search
