Philadelphia, Feb. 2S.-Fire which early
this morning destroyed the cigar factory

wool district. and for an hour or more
crippled the Keystone Telephone service

The flames were discovered on the
fourth floor Of the building about O'Clock
and within few minutes spread through
out the upper sections Of the factory.
The fire burned fiercely, and although
the firemen worked heroically, they were
unable to do more than save the sur
rounding property and that with diff
Guilty.
The factory Is an I-shaped building four
stories on Second street and six stories on
SAMSON street. Only the walls Of the big
building are left standing and the loss Will
amount to 100000, of which $4,000 is on

HARD WINTER ON
LOCAL FLORISTS
Many Extra Tons Of Coal
Required on Account of
Severe Weather

Owing TO the severe weather the win
ter now drawing to a close has been
an Improbable one to the florists OF
this city. owners Of hot houses say
they have used more coal this winter
than during any previous winter for
years, which has cut into the profits OF
the business.
In addition to having to buy more
coal than usual. there has been a small
demand for flowers and the prices
have not heen as high as last season.
Some OF the florists are fearing now
that the flowers they have in the ground
will be injured by the cold weather as
! II was a difiicult task to keep the hot
houses in the proper condition even by
burning more coal.
| II. p, Potter one of the largest for
lists in Wilmington, states that It has
been one of the hardest winters on his
business that he can remember. He
says that he has had to use a great
deal more coal than last winter and
that Il has been almost impossible TO
keep his hot houses at the proper tenn
lperature. He states that the prices
are only fair and the demand is not
VERY large. When asked what the
prospects were for Easter flowers Mr..
Potter said It was hard to tell az this
time. He said the florists had started
70 make preparations. but could not
tell what they win have as the flowers
are now under ground. when dug up
he said they may all be frozen.
John J. Kuratle says, II have burned
more coal this winter than during any
previous winter since / have been in
business. This has been due to the
high winds and severe cold weather
and consequently has cut into the pro-
/ fits to a large extent" Mr.. Kuratle
also states that flowers are not as good
as usual. During the severe weather
he says there was practically no de-
lmand. which left a large surplus Of
flowers that had to be sold very cheap.
George c. Boyd is another florist who
has found his profits cut into on ac-
count OF the cold weather. Mr.. Boyd
says: Il have burned considerable more
/ coal than ever before. There is only
fair demand and the price is about
the same as usual for this time OF the
year."
George Brinton & Son say they have
burned large quantity Of coal but do
not think 1t has been much more than
last year.
w. II. Vance is the exception. Her
Imam Wolff, Mr.. Vance's manager. states
they have had a most profitable year
and have burned no more coal than
last year. They shipped most Of their
flowers to Philadelphia. Mr.. Wolf says
1.-THE prices were not so good around the
holidays, but have picked up during the
past six weeks. They shipped 2,00l
lcarnations several days ago,
II. NJ. Paschall florist. Of Holly Oak
was also affected by the cold weather
Mr. Paschsll burned more coal thar
ever before and some Of the coldes
nights it required a ton OF coal to heai
his hot houses.
NJ. r, Hayden says; This has beer
