Howard fc Harnden's Express Build ing in Ruins. Rockhill & Wilson' Clothing Store a f reck BILLIARD AND CONCERT SALOONS FLOODED OUT. A Large Number of Buildings Damaged and Burned. A GENERAL ALARM SOUNDED. Activity and Gallantly of the Firemen. A HARVEST FOR THE THIEVES. A SCORE OF THEM ARRESTED. Scenes of Thrilling and Curious Interest. But yesterday we printed the annual report of the Fire and Police Telegraph operators, and chronicled with satisfaction the gratifying fact that during the past year only two general alarms baa been rune. To-day we are called upon to record one of the moHt destructive con flagrations that has vtsitcd Philadelphia tor many years. Last evening was the fifteenth nnntveisary of the great fire when Hart's build ing and the Shakespeare building, and other contiguous property around Sixth and Chesnut streets, were reduced to ruins. On that occasion the weather was so extremely cold that the hand engines and the water iu the hose became frozen. Many ot the firemen were badly frost bitten, and several persons were killed. The recurring anniversary last night will honceforth be scarcely less memorable. About half-past 12 o'clock this morning, when Chesnut street was well-nigh deserted by the gay thrones of promenadcrs that had been out '"to see New Year's night," a curl of flame was seen issuing from a second story window of the immense tour-storied stone building No. C07 Chesnut 6treet. The first story was occupied as the office of the Howard & Harndcn Express Company. The second floor was tenanted by J. H. Simons, manufacturer of and dealer in photographers' chemicals and materials. The basement was occupied as a wine cellar by Richard Pcnistan. The entire building had passed into the possession of the Bulletin Asso ciation. It was about to be converted into a newspaper and printing office, and to that end extensive alterations had been projected. When the curl of flame was seen, the cry of "Fire! Fire I" rang out ou the still nteht air, and a dozen men, all breathless with excitement, ran to the Central Police Station, only a square dis tant. Scarce half a minute had elapsed ere the deep tones of the State House bell were booming the alarm throughout the length and breadth of the slumbering city. At the Central Station "there wa?, as there always Is at this unseasonable hour, a large force of the corps reportorial present, waiting for something to "turn up." The news that a clothing store was on lire of course awakened the liveliest feelings of solicitude in the bosoms of the fraternity, who, one and all, rushed to the rescue. Many of them, unmindful of their pro fessional duties in such an emergency, lent all Ahelr energies to the saving of the goods. Th police officers, too, a large force ot whom were immediately on hand, exerted themselves to ttfj utmost, amid, scorching flamt and stilling smoke, to rescue as pinch of the portable property as possible. A number of the most active autf efficient fire companies in the city are located In tMs vicinity, and three minutes had scarcely elapsed from the outbreak of the flames before hose-c.irriages and snorting engines came rattling and dashing to the scene of tumult. The stout doors were broken in with vigorous axes, and the thick black smoke poured out. Immediately that ingress to the burning build ing was obtained, great stacks of overcoats, armloads of doeskin and casHimere pants, vests of the latest cut and richest material, were seized, upon, and carried off violently to the police sta tion. A few soulless thieveB of course were pre sentthey never fail to see an opportunity and attempted to appropriate new suits to their pri vate uses. The police officers, however, araia all the confusion and excitement of bells ringing, and smoke rolling, and men shouting, and flames roaring and crackling, kept their eves and wit about them, and arrested three of the thievish individuals. In five minutes time Chesnut strcct.for several squares, was a Babel of steam engines and appa ratus ot every kind. Front and rear the firemen attacked the flames with axes, ladders, and most powerful streams of water. When the heavy windows had been broken In on Jayne street, the flames burnt forth in terrific tury. The lad ders of the Washington Hose Hook and Ladder ; Company took fire, and the men were forced to tall back for a moment, but speedily they had their ladders reset, and torrents of walcr were poured into the devoted building, but witn little effect An Immense storage of goods was on the ground and second floors of the building in which the fire broke out, and as the greater portion ot the packages were inclosed in pine boxes, and were of light and combustible material, the flames spread rapidly. The firemen had no op portunity whatever to extinguish the flames until they had acquired such headway that it was a matter of impossibility. At one o'clock the scene became one of impos ing grandeur. The burning building was very i. '; high, and the flames towered lar above, showing cinders and fiery flakes for squares around. The State House bell at this time rane a general , Alarm, and straightway all the engines and hose carriages in the city were speeding to the spot. The carrying out of the clothing and other goods still continued. All the offices in the "'Bow" were thrown open for their storage, and even Independence Hall became a depot of reception temporarily. By a quarter to 'J o'clock the building No. C07 . Chesnut treet had been completely gutted, i Then the cornice and tne upper portion of the front wall fell outward with a terrible crash, and a cry of alarm ran through the crowd, in apprehension that a loss of lite was Involved in the unexpected accident. So far ai we have heard, however, the apprehension was un founded. .,,. Tho buildings on the south sine of Chesnut street now became much heated, and heavy and continuous streams ot water were poured upon them with eood etTect. Thprp would seem to be scarcelv a doubt that the fire originated in the second story ol No. 6i)7 Chesnut street, occupied bv Mr. Simons. A lrm nniintitv of chemicals were stored in this Mare, and shortly after the fire was discovered a number of explosion were heard, which is Bum oaiid to have nroceeded from these chemi cals, and to have scattered the fire in all dim ions. The establishment of Linlord t& Lukens, Co., at the corner a of Sixth and Chesnut streets, is a total wreck, the doors aud windows being entirely demolinhed. The fire did not ex- lend to this ftore, and consequently their loss ' arUes principally from Kteuluge and the damage done to the goods bv removal. The lleht eoods appropriate to a gentleman's furnishing store THE DAILY EVENING TELEGItAril. rillLADELPITiA, TUESDAY, JANUARY 2, 186G. were very easily carricl away, and a larje amount have not yot been (Uncovered. Thore is no doubt that rnanv articles of value were taken by the horde of thieves that were upon the ground. The police were vieilant, and made a largo number of arrests of suspicious persons, some of whom were in firemen's equipments, but no crution or cure could prevent tue loss ot much property. This morning the store was a scene of ruin; brokon glass was scattered over the floor, and the debris covered tho apartment. Whatever was saved was taken to the Sheriffs Office, In the row, and the Central Police Station, but in such a damaged condition as to be almost worthless. Tho loss here cannot be less than $10,000. and is not insured. The upper portions of this building were not materially damaged, except from water. Glenn's saloon, in the base ment, was not dbturbed, but suffered some from water. The clothing establishment of Rockhill A Wilcon, Nos. (103 and fi().r, suffered greatly. The upper portions of the lino building are entirely binned, the whole roof having been consumed. This firm had been but recently refitted in tine style, and largely increased their business. There was an immense stock of ready-made clothing of all kinds on haitd, a considerable portion of which was removed in a damaged condition. The whole establishment was flooded with water, and presented this morning a most desolate appearance. They had a large quan tity of goods stolen during the course of re moval, and much of the uncut cloths were mined by water. It Is estimated that the loss in this single store will reach $70,000, though at S resent it is impossible to state tho actual amage. The publio who have long known the firm can readily imagine the destruction which occurred. The large clothing store of Perry A Co., next door to the building in which the fire broke out, was also greatly damaged by water, although the fire was subdued before it made any head way there. The injury here is altogether from water, and will amount to about $25,000. Nearly the whole of their stock of clothing is drenched with water and practically rained. There was but little if anything stolen here, the thieves having too much to do at other places. Messrs. Perry A Co., No. COO Chesnut street, whose store was considerably damagod by fire and water last night, will herealter conduct their business at No. 303 Chesnut street, until they can find an establishment which will suit their immense business patronage. The damage done to the buildlnes is princi pally confined to that of Rockhill A Wilson, the Commonwealth, and the one in which tho fire bro&e out Much of it will have to be taken down and entirely rebuilt. Some of the walls look dangerous at present, but all proper pre cautions are being taken to render the lives of citizens secure. It is im possible to say at pre sent what the amount of loss is, but it will pro bably reach a quarter of a million. It was one of the finest business blocks in the city, and its blackened walls present a sad spectacle to-day. building no. C07. In consequence of the great confusion this morning it was impossible to obtain an accurate account of the losses and insurances of the dif lerent parties. As already stated tho fire origi nated in the Cowperthwait Buildine, Nos. G07 and C0!. The structure was a five-story one, with a Pictou stone front and extending back to Jayne street. No. 607 was owned by the "Bulle tin Association," and was valued at $60,000,upoa which there is an insurance of $15,000. The front basement of No. 607 was ononpied by R. Penistan's ale and liquor vaults, and the back portion was used lor storage purposes by the Harnden's, Howard's, Howard A Co.'s, an Wells, Fargo & Co.'s express companies. The flr-it floor was occupied by these different com panies for offices, tho back portion boing used as a freight depot. Nearly all the valuable books, papers, etc., were removed in safety. The money packages were all stored in the fire-proof in the front portion oi the first floor, and are 6afe. The greater part of the freight was also removed in safety. The fecond-story of No. C07 was occupied by John H. Simons, manufacturer of photograph materials. He had a large quantity of chemi cals on hand, all of which were destroyed. The third and fifth stories of the same building were occupied by Herbert, Oesterle A Bauer, manu facturers or trimmings. The fourth floor was occupied by Joseph A. Speel, book binder. The main portion of his establishment was on the fourth floor of No. 609, tho two rooms com municating by an iron door. The department in No. C07 was known as the sheet-room, and is a total wreck. The losses in No. 607 are all heavy, and are sovered principally by insurance distributed among diiferent companies. BUILDING NO. 609. Buildine No. 009. forming a portion of the Cowperthwait Building, belongs to Amos Hol liDgsworth, of New England. The upper por tion of this building sustained conbiderable damage, but was saved from total destruction by iron doors with which it communicated with No. 607. The basement of No, 609 was occupied .is a concert saloon. The second story of No. 609 was occupied by Messrs. Schrack & Bruce as a billiard si loon The tables were mined by water, and the apart ment otherwise damages, rue loss, nowever is fully covered by msuraace in the Royal and other companies. The principal loss of the firm consists in liquors and cigars, which were car- r ed otf by the thieves The front portion of the third story is occupied by Geo. Dabbs A Co, dealers in photograph ma terials. This firm suffered considerably by water, but their loss is fully covered by Insurance in the Reliance and other companies. The rear portion of this same floor is occupied by F. Moras' lithographic printing establishment. Mr. Moras was just moving in and had not as exten sive stock on hand as he otherwise would. The place was damaged seriously by water. The fourth floor, as already stated, was the main apartment ot James A. Sped, bookbinder. His loss by water to machinery, presses and sheets, is pretty well covered by insurance. The fifth story was occupied by John II. Harman, bookbinder, whose loss by water will not be serious. BUILDING NOS. 603 iKD 605. This buildine. occunied entire bv Messrs. Rockhill A Wilson, clothiers, sustained the greatest damage. It was a four-story structure, with brown-stone front, extending - back to JaMie street The upper part was completely burned out, and. tne wnoie Duuding deluged, with water. Tho loss of the firm on the build ine, which they own, and the stock, will, it is thought, reach fifty thousand dollars. The building is insured in tne fire Association. Hand-in-Hand, Pennsylvania, and other city companies The stock is also covered by Insur ance. The firm sustained considerable lorn in the removal of goods, large quantities boing stolen. Numerous parties detected in the act of stealing were arrested, and their names will be found below. THE COMMONWEALTH BCILDINU, owned by Dr. David Jayne, made a narrow ewape. It sustained some loss by water, ine structure is occupied bv numerous parties, the principal occupants being Gregory A Mum- lord, wno nave a commercial coueee in tue building. All the occupants suffered some by water, and their business win De eonwaerawy interrupted by the mishap. THIS LOSS, when finally estimated, will reach nearly a quarter million of dollars, which is very nearly an covered by insurance. As stated, much dainiiRe was sustained in the removal of goods. Much of the clothing rescued has been more or lees soiled, and will have to be sold at a reduced figure, thus footing up the total loss to about the estimate given above. WHOLESALE STBALINO. Never, within our recollection, was so much pilfering carried on, and never before was there a better opportunity offered thieves than at this tire. The police were on the alert and made numbers of arrests, the Central Station being litterally filled with prisoners. All ol the thieves who were arrested were caught with clothing, etc., beloneing to Messrs. Rockhill A Wilson. The following are tho arresU made: James Parley, residing in S. Eleventh street, caught with clothing hi his possession. - George Miller, residing at Twenty-third and Callowhill streets, caught with clothing In his possesion. PaViick McMenamln, No. 917 Reed street, caught while in tho act of putting a pair of pants on. Patrick McGranigan, Sixth and Fitzwater, and Victor St. Clare, both arrested with clothing in their possession. John H. Coovey, residing at No. 619 Cherry street, was arrosted in tho upper portion of Rockhill A Wilson's buildine, with numerous boxes of buttons. He wai coming down stairs in custody with an officer when he threw his plunder away. Henry Allman, residing at No. 142 N. Second street, was arrested loaded down with small arti cles. He had even a bunch of keys in his pos session belonging to the firm. Thomas McKean, residing at Sixth and Chris tian street, was followed by an officer down Sixth street McKean had a lounge in his pos session belonging to Rockhill A Wilson. At Adelpbt street he was overhauled, and said he was taking the property to a place of safety. When he took the lounee he had a hat of the Movamensing Hose Company on his head. This he look otf, and put on an old slouch hat which be had in his pocket He evidently was pre pared for something of this kind. James Wallace, residing In Passyunk road, near Moyamensing Prison, had on a fire-coat, with no equipments, was detected bv Mr. John Hairington, a very respectable member of the Philadelphia Engine Company, In tho act of stealing. He was seized and handed into the custody of an officer. John McClcan, residine at Fifteenth and Shippen streets, was caught in the act of se creting a piece of cloth under his coat He bad on equipments of the Franklin Hose Company. The prisoner had been busily engaged in re moving goods from the burning building, and had rendered efficient service, but in the end was tempted to steal. Numerous other parties wore seen carrying off goods, but the police were so busy in attending to other duties that they had scarcely the time to arrest any others than those with whom they came in direct contact All those arrested had a hearing this morning before Alderman Bcltler, and were held in $1500 each for their appearance at the present term of the Quarter Sessions. Three professional thieves, who were also ar rested in the crowd, will have a hearing this afternoon. Resignation of an Accomplished Officer. George C. Franclscus, Esq., so long and favorably known to our citizens as the en terprising and urbane Superintendent of the Eastern IMvision of the Pennsylvania Central Raiiroad, resigned his office at the close of the year, much to the regret of all who had ever transacted business with this gentleman. Mr. Franclscus has been connected with the Penn sylvania Railroad Company from its organiza tion, and had filled the position named for many years past with marked ability, and to the entire satisfaction of the Company and the public. He is now recognized as one of the most accomplished. nndBucoessful railway managers of our State. We Win that Mr. Franclscus has been contem plating this stop for some time, the onerous duties and heavy responsibilities incident to a faithful discharge of the functions of the office having begun to make inroads upon his health. He has accepted the post of General Agent of the Pennsylvania Ceutral Railroad in this city, which gives him general supervision of the transportation department, a position for which he is no less qualified than the one he has just vacated. The vacancy caused by the resignation of" Mr. Franclscus has been filled by the appointment of 8. P. Darlington, Esq., wno haa had a long connection with the road, and has been selected on acciunt of his superior qualifications. Those having business to transact with him will find Mr. Darlington an affable and obliging officer. Licenses to Pawnbrokers.
