The burned district is across the way from the mammoth city. hall and around the corner from the Pennsylvania railway station. The bleze had not been under way a halt hour before the thousands of emplcyes of the destroyed business houses began flocking to the scene to begin their dally work. Many of the larger establish- ments, including Wanamaker's, employed a larze majority of women and girls, and had the disaster come during business hours a pantie with its corsequent loss of iife would have been Inevitable. The streets were roped off for two blocks round, and traffic on the busiest streets of the city was at a standstill for hours. The Losses. The heaviest losers are Hirsh Brothers, who suffer to the extent of about $400,000. They had an immense stock on hand pre- paring for summer trade. Walter Hirsh, a meniher of the firm, said that the stock was fully covered by insurance. This firm employed 450 hands. Hirsh Brothers oc- cupled the tap floors of the building, which extended from 1309 to 1315 inclusive. The building was owned hy the estate of Henry ©. Gibson, the well-known distiller, and was valued at about $500,000, Blum Brothers, who occupied 1319, will lose about $150,000 on stock; Hanseom Brothers, $125,000 on stock; Dennett's res- taurant, stock and fixtures, $75,000; Sterner & Ball, $0,000; Mizpah restaurant, $15,000: Hillman’s Drug Company, $75,000; Mar- shall’s restaurant, $25,000; George B.

Nearly all the sufferers from today's fire are fully protected by insurance. WATCHING THE FLAMES. Scenes and Incidents of Philadelphia Fire. From a Special Correspon PHILADELPHIA, Pa., January 26,—One entire block of business houses in the very heart of the city is a mass of ruins, and Yor a time the pride of Philadelphia, as embodied in the magnificent city hall, the United States mint, the Masonic Temple, the superb Betz building, the Pennsylvania depot, the Windsor and other hotels and John Wanamaker’s world-famous store were all more or less seriously threatened. Wanamaker’s was, indeed, burned partially. Opposite the ruins on Market street the block is occupied entirety by Wanamaker’s. At the corner of 13th and Market streets stood the Wanamaker clock tower, with its chime of bells. which musically ranz out the hours for the city. The tower is gone, and the chimes will probably not ring again. Shortly after 7 o'clock this morning, just as the workmen were assembling at their benches in the umbrella factory of Hirsch Bros., a five-story building in the middle of the block on Market street, fire was dis- covered in the building. The work people scampered down the fire escapes in the rear of the building. In «4 very f2w moments the flames had burst through the roof of the building. ‘There was an immense stcck of hard and fancy woods, used for making umbrellas and canes, and vast amounts of paints and varnishes and silks and other highly in- flammable stuffs. There was, fortunately, but little wind blowing, and so the flames shot straight up into the air. At one time e four outer walls of the building were as of one vast furnace, and the flames towered over them in a solid mass of fire to a height of from fifty to one hundred feet. Unfortunately, the attention of the fire department was directed toward subduing serious fires at Doktson’s great carpet house on Chestnut street, and another on Market street, and only a limited number of en- ines could be sent to the Hirsch Bros.’ fire. For a time it was thought that the fire auld be confined to the Hirsch building. here were not many dangerous sparks flying. But im about half an hour the brick walls of the Hirsch building began to erumble and fall upon and crush the lower buildi that surrounded them. The nse heat was warping, shriveling the Big j doors and windows and roofs in every di- rection. The windows in the city hall, nearly 300 feet distant, were blistered. The north end of Wanamaker’s was smok- spite the frantic efforts of the army ‘ks and salesmen to keep it cool. » surrounding buildings, one after an- ether, were ignited, and soon the entire block around the Hirsch building was ablaze. reet Car Lines Disabled. The street cars were all stopped several blocks away from the fire soon after it started. In an hour all the trolley wires were sundered, and as they are all of one | system nearly every car line In town was stopped. In the vicinity of the conflagra- tion the streets were full of live, writhing, curling wires, spitting out their deadly cur- rents. The power houses were signaled to cut off their currents and the town came to a standstill. : ‘Thousands who were on their way to office, store and factory, assembled as closely as they could to the fire. The one object of concern was Wanamaker’s. Here 4,4 persons were employed. Upon them were dependent nearly 20,000 more persons: while, it 1s estimated, there are several thousand mote employed in making the goods sold at Wanamaker's. Watching the Big Store. So it was when the tall tewer of the great store was seen to ignite a groan of apprehension and commiseration went up from the assemlled multitudes, and the pertentous words “Wanamaker’s is burn- flew through the city. heroic efforts of the firemen and the store’s employes to fight back the reat nance and confine them to the towers were frequently cheered by the shivering spectators. Meanwhile the deadly cold atmosphere was playing its pert in the common de- The firemen fared the worst. water running through the hose thelr fingers so that it slipped through and fell from their nerveless grasp. They were ill-dressed for such cold business, and so with pinched faces, chat- tering teeth and shivering bodies they were one after another compelied to give up the struggle. ‘Thirty-Five Firemen Carried Of. Patrol wagons cvrried thirty-five of them away to hospitals, where their frozen ex- tremities could receive attention and heat and life be restored to their bodies. At a little after 9 o'clock the wind began to blow a little from the west. Then be- gan a fight all along the line to the east- ward. The heat was blown in that direc- tion until scores of roofs were ablaze. There is one consolation to be derived fro:n this disaster; that is the destruction of the little, mean buildings which have front- ed the city hall along Juniper street, They have been an eyesore since they were thrown into such contemptible contrast by the superb structures which have sprung up around them. DAMAGE BY FLAMES ELSEWHERE. struction. The Ice numbed Almost One Hundred Fires in Twenty- Four Hours in Chicago. CHICAGO, January 26.—Almost one hun- dred fires were reported up to midnight for the twenty-four hours of Monday. The record of last Fourth of July was beaten and a new high-water mark was establish- ed in the history of the Chicago fire de- partment for a winter day. On account of the extreme cold the firemen suffered severely, and many cases of men having their ears, noses and bands frozen were reported. Several were severely frozen and are In a serious condition. Outside of the burning of the Barnes residence the fires were small affairs, and in nearly every case was due to efforts to thaw out frozen water ptpes or to explo- sion engendered by the bursting of water- backs, The large grain elevator of the W.

The firemen were handicapped" by the scarcity of fire plugs and by the intense Cold. elevator was recently rebuilt; twoférmer structures hav- ing been heavily dathaged by fire. This, however, is the first time that the building was completely Sesthored. Vice President Joséph Gickenheimer esti- Mated the loss at absut £50,000, which is almost entirely covered by insurance. Th? origin Cf thestire is not definitely known, but it is supposed to be due to tramps, who have ‘been building fires In and around the freight cars near the eie- vator, In order to keep warm.” Fire broke out today in the basement of the one-story brick hullding at 246-248 Ran- dclph street, occupiéd by the Main Belting Company and A. M: is & Co., dealers in mill supplies, and totally destroyed the building and contents. The loss was be- tween $25,000 and $36,400, fully covered by insurance. Most ofthe loss was on the stock of tre Main Belting Company, a Phil- adelphia concern. NEW YORK, January 26.—Fire which started in the basement of the six-story building at 29 Pearl street today brought the whole fire fighting force in the lower section of the city to the scene. The basement was occupied by Walden & Company, wholesale liquor dealers. The floors abcve and the adjoining building. No. 27, are occupied by Percy Kent, dealer In cottons, packing and beling. The loss to the latter is $40,000, covered by insurance. Walden & Company's loss is said to be about $40,000, partially cov- ered by insurance. LINCOLN, Neb., January 28.—The Hall- Lansing block was destroyed by fire this morning. The block was given up to room- ers, and a number had narrow escapes. Less, $75,000. CHESTER, Pa.. January 26.—The com- mission house of J. D. Waiton & Co., at 2d and Edgmont avenue, was partly destroyed by fire this morning. About 3,500 baskets of sweet potatoes and a large quantity of other farm produce was burned. The origin of the fire is not known. The building was occupied by J. D. Walton, Harry Bloom and Wm. M. Graham. Their joint losses amount to about $20,000; partially covered by Insurance. JOLIET, Ill., January 24.—The Economy Light and Power Company's plant has been destroyed by fire, causing a loss of $150,000. As a result, the city was in darkness last night. OMAHA, Neb., January 26, 2:30 a.m.—A telephone message from Plattsmouth, Neb., Says that the whole of the business portion ef Pacific Junction, Iowa, has been de- stroyed by fire. The blaze started in a grocery. and altogether about twenty-two or twenty-three buildings were destroyed, including the Pactfie Hotel and the Odd Fellows’ Hall. Plattsmouth is at the Nebraska end of the Burlington bridge, and ts the nearest town of any size. So far as known no lives were lost. Pacific Junction is a small railroad town of 8 inhabitants. The Burlington depot and round house there were not injured. The total loss t= estimated at $30,000. AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN Suffering of the Poor Intense Across the Bridge. The Western Section Lit Up Brilliant- ly With Electric Lights—A Small Fire Thts Morning. Georgetown was more brilliantly illumin- ated last evening than ever before, and all along M and i320 streets there were two sets of electric lights burning brightly all night, and making the thoroughfares as light as day. The current of the Potomac Electric Light Company was turned on, and the new are lights gave a pretty and excellent illumination, ‘The current was to have been turned om sooner, but owing to some mishap the matier was delayed until last evening Everything worked ‘satisfac- , and the new lights will be used from now on until the close of the contract. Small Fire. Shortly after 10 g'clock this forenoon there was an alarm of fire for a blaze in an outhouse at 2ith and Q streets, adjoining the Rittenhouse estate. The place is own- ed by Mr. Gunnell, and occupied as a resi- dence by Harry Wilson. There was no one in the place at the ume, and the origin of the fire is unknown, though it is supposed to have been due to an ‘The flames were extingu gines after a damage of $15 had been in- flicted upon the property. Poor Suffering. ‘The intense cold weather has had a bad effect up-n the poor of this seetion of the city, and all of this forenoon the office of the Associated Charities in this place was thronged with white and colored peo- ple, anxious to be relieved with fuel and groceries, Most all asked for fuel, showing that the cold is felt badiy, and while many cases were relieved, a good many were held up, pending a personal investigation of the same. While the rumber of appli- cents was limited yesterday, this morning there was a large crowd in the office most of the time. One fact brought out is that the office in this section is supported entirely out of the funds of the relfef society of Wash- ington. The total contributions of the Georgetown people to the fund of the As- sociated Charities in this section does not exceed $15 for the whole season, while the relief that has been gtyen out has averaged nearly $1) a day. It Is greater this year than ever before, owing to the fact that there {s no police fund, and all applications at the police station are referred to the Associated Charities. Mr. B. T Janney, who is in charge of the work in this end, reports the destitu- tion to be very great, and a large num- ber of farailies in distress, which would not crdinarily be the case, owing to the scar- city of work. There are many men willing and abe to work, who cannot obtain a po- sition, while in other caves there are en- tire households down with the grip and other diseases. The failure of the people to contribute to the fund is probably due to the fact that they are rot acquainted with the proper places. The office of the As- sociated Charities for this section is at 3041 O street, where cash, clothing, fuel and provisions will be recetved. Cash con- tributions will also be received by Mr. Janney, at his office in the Blount School, on O street between 30th and 3lst streets, and also at the office of the Fit tive Building Association, at 1825 32 all goods received being properly credited. Some of the liberal-minded residents of the place, recognizing the situation for the poor of this section, have made arrange- ments for holding a pound party, which will be open all day tomorrow. Goods will be 1eceived at the seventh precinct police station, and all donations properly credited in The Star. Donations of all kinds will be received, and also,what cash that may be subscribed, the entire sum to be imme- diately distributed’ among the poor to give fmmediate relief. Donations will be re- ceived all day tomorrow at the station, and the promotors of the pound party urgently ask all residents to egntribute to the occa- sion. ‘The publication in’ Fhe Star of the con- dition of the family of James Tucker, the unfortunate ‘lineman, has had an effect, and the responses haye been liberal. The family is now well,supplied with provis- fons to last for some: time, and also fuel and clothing, on i Nogen.

A number of measures that were favora- bly considered by (he committee on the District of Columbia last Friday, as stated in The Star, were reported to the Senate today: Mr. Wetmore reporied House bill 8010, “to authorize a survey for construction of a bridge across the Eastern branch of the Potomac river in line with Massachusetts avenue extended, eastward.” Also Senate bill 3307, declaring the Potomac flats a pub- lic park, under the name of the Potomac Park. The report accompanying the bill says: “In the opinion of the committee the en- tire area of the flats now under process of reclamation should be declared a public park, in order to prevent any encroach- tenis thereon by railroads. The reclaimed flats are an extension of the parking sys- tem of tke District and should have. the same protection that other public lands now have.” : Mr. Baker reported favorably Scnate bill 3498, to punish the {mpersonation of inspectors of the health and other depart- ments of the District of Columbia. Mr. Faulkner reported favorably House bill 4279, to quit claim the property of Capt. Geo. W. Watson at the corner of llth and [ streets southeast. The Grace! Cemetery Bill. In the Senate today Mr. McMillan intro- duced a bill to amend an act “to prohibit the interment of bodies in Graceland cem- etery, in the District of Columbia.” It em- Powers the board of officers of Graceland cemetery to mortgage sald property in order to secure money to be used for the purpese of carrying out the provisions of the act of August 3, 184. A letter from Seymour W. Tullock, president of the Graceland cemetery, accompanying the Dill explains that the board of officers have made preper provision for the removal of the bodies interred in Graceland cemetery and so far removed #07 bodies, at a total ex- perse of $5,092.57, hut were forced to stop by leck of necessary funds. The lettcr cortinues: “It has been found contrary to the best interests of the association to sell any por- tion of the real estate in question, as a betier price can be obtained for it as a whole. Neither has it been found advisable to tell the whole, with about 6,061 bodies still interred therein; and the leading title attorneys of the city have stated that in their opinion the provisions of the act do no: authorize the board of officers to mort- Gage the premises to secure the necessary funds to remove the bodtes therefrom. The object of thjs amendment is therefore to enable the said board of officers to procure such funés as may be necessary to carry out the provisions of the said act of Au- gust 3, 1894."

The Marqnette Statue. It is understood today that the library committee of the House has done nothing with the resolution introduced in the House last week by Representative Fitzgerald of Massachusetts requesting the committee to report on the resolution in {ts posse: accepting the Marquette statue. What the committee will do is not known, but it is reported that it is within the range of p sibility that the legislature of Wisconsin wil recall the Marquette statue. It is asserted that the legislature of that state is strongly inclined to A. P. A. proclivities, and that many members of the legislature were elected on pledges that they would vote for the recall of the statue. It is asserted to- day that the members of the Wisconsin delegation in the House are somewhat s prised at the introluction of tion by Representative Fitzgerald, this sui prise being based on che fact that they e: pected to be allowed to handle the mat to suit themselves, It is said thar they ask the library committee to T™matter at what they consider is propitious time. They seem to think that Mr. Fitzgerald might have left the matter to them. To Secure a Loa Chairman Babewek has introduced in the House a bill to authorize the Graceland Cemetery Company to secure a loan for the development of ihe property. Not over 6 per cent interest may be paid on the property. To Tear Up Unused Tracks. The bill introduced in the Senate last week by Chairman McMillan requiring street railway companies to tear up aban- doned tracks has been introduced in the House by Chairman Babcock. Electric Light Testimony to Be Printed. Upon motion of Mr. McMillan the Senate today ordered that the testimony given be- fore the Senate comnittee on the District of Columbia in the electric light hearings lately held be printed as a Senate docu- ment. This testimony will make a pam- Phlet of about a hundred pages. Distriet Appropriation Bill. There were no hearings before the sub- committee of the House in charge of the appropriations for the District of Columbia when it met this afternoon. Lawrence Gardner and Mr. Schultiz were on hand to #ppear for St. Joseph's Asylum, in case there had been any talk on the subject of institutions of that kind. The subcommittee is quickly closing its work, and will report its bill to the fult committee on appropriaiions in a few days. MYSTERIOUS DEATH. Dead Body of Ernest Sethern Found on a Bridge. Last night about 7 o'clock the dead body of Ernest Sothern, a blacksmith, was found on the M street bridge over the James Creek canal, and it was at first thought that the cold weather had caused his death. but today’s investigation showed that the man's death resulted from poison. This was the result of an autopsy made by Deputy Coroner Glazebrook, and soon after the autopsy ended an undertaker was permitted to take the body from the morgue. When this was learned by Coroner Hammett he directed that the keeper of the morgue have the body returned. While it was cer- tain that the Irritant poison found in the dead man’s stomach had caused his death, Dr. Hammett was not certain whether of not the poison was self-administered. It may be that the man was given some “knock-out drops” and was murdered. This will be determined later, when the police of the fourth precinct have finished their investigation. Sothern was about thirty-six years old and lived at No. 332 I street southeast. He was employed at W. A. Richards’ brick yard. Yesterday morning, shortly after breakfast, he left home to go to work, as was supposed, but on his way he stopped at the house of a colored friend on M street and complained of being sick. It was learned by the police that Sothern hada small bottle which contained a dark fluid, and he offered his colored friend, Edward Johnson, a drink. The latter did not like the taste of the liquid, but Sothern drank the contents of it and left the house. Half an hour later the man’s dead body was found. The police could find no trace of the bottle from which Sothern had drank the liquid. While at Johnson’s house Soth- ern complained of being sick, but said nothing about taking his life.
