building had been erected only some four or five
Tears. H was owned by Colonel William B. Thomas.
The furnace room was in the sunt Meant corner of the
cellar, and here the flames tirst caught ; sturtcd, it is
supposed, by a lire too large and hot.
Owing to the combustible nature of the contents
cf the place the lire spread with fearful rapidity,
and in a short tlmo the entire structure was in
flames. Tho heat from the burning building was
Intense, and ths firemen were, at dinerent times,
driven away some distance from the scone.
Messrs. Sibley A Ponnypacker, coopers and barrel
manufacturers, occupied certain portions of tlio
building. They hud several thousand finished bur
rels on hand, but both gentlemen being absent from
the city, neither tbelr loss nor their insurance can bo
ascertained with any deflultencss. The barrels were
an consumed.
Colonel Thomas, the owner of the building, used
TwrtioDs of It to store barrels of flour. At the time
if the tire he had there some lOiw barrels, which
were all destroyed, entailing a loss ol 8T000. In-

The dwelling No. 1210 Buttonwood street had the
tool burned 01V, and was damaged by water. Mr.
Burr owns It, and a widow lady named Mayer occu
pies it.
No. 1212, next dwelling to tho west, occupied by
Mr. Smith, was likewise unroofed by the lire, and
eiugeu wnn water.
No. 1211, opposite, owned by Alexander Sitae, and
occupied by Louisa SmiUi, was slightly damaged by
lire.
On Twelfth street, below Buttonwood, the three
SUiry buildings, occupied by Thomas M. K aus, awning-post
and frame manufacturer; C. H. Mellor,
machinist, and other firms, were slightly damaged
by fire, but the stock coutalned tilt-rein suffered only
by water.
On the west Bide of Twelfth street, directly oppo
site the manufactory, the cabinet establishment of
W. A J. Alleu was scorched, and only saved bv the
firemen constantly playing on the building, other
properties adjoining were also scorched by the tire.
while the Are was at its height, considerable con
Bternatiou prevailed among the residents of the
neighborhood, owing to the report being circulated
that in the Armory of Thomas' Keglmeut was stored
a quantity of powder. This report was untrue ; but,
notwithstanding, many believed it, and the stampeao
Of the citizens from their dwellings was great.
Colonel Thomas' building is a complete wreck,
nothing remaining but three walls. The southwest
wall fell in about 1 o'clock, but, fortunately, no one
was injured.
Only a short time since Messrs. Sibley & Penny
packer had their manufacturing establishment on
Willow street. They were burned out there, and
were forced to seek new quarters; consequently
the mill of Colonel Thomas was rented ; now thev
are again burned out.
in the rear of Thomas' building, and running out
of Hamilton street, is a row of Hiuall court houses
These were all slightly scorched. The threatening
appearance of the lire had caused the occupants to
remove their household effects. The only loss
mstained by them was in breakage, etc., incurred in
the hasty removal of goods.
The Extra AssEss.MENTs.-The sittings of the
assessors to-day, to-morrow, and .Monday, from 10

Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph,
Nortustown, Sept. 17. This place is filled
with people to-day, congregating here to witness
the dedication of a monument in memory of the
soldiers who died in defense of their country
during the late Rebellion. This day is also the
anniversary of tho battle of Antietam. The
event had long been anticipated, and luTitations
had been scattered, broadcast. A majority of them
hayc been accepted, and though we have lowering
clouds overhead, the ceremonies give promise of
great interest nnd success. Invitations were
sent to Governor Geary and stall, to the clergy,
and members of the press and bar ef the adjoin
ing counties, relatives and friends of deceased
soldiers, to the municipal ofliccrs of your city,
navnl oiilcers, tho military of Philadelphia. Posts
of the (i. A. K., Philadelphia Fire Department,
and all tho various orders nnd associations that
could be reached. As a matter of course, our
streets nre filled with strangers.
From your city have come a number of mili
tary organ i.ntions and firemen; aud if we judge
by tho organizations now scattered about, the
procession will be a very large and brilliant one.
Of the monument to be dedicated, the follow
ing is a faithful description:
The base consists of four parts. The three blue
marble bases are from Messrs. Adams .t Derr's
ouarrles, near the Kinit-of-Prussia, the lirst of which
in si.e and perfection has few rivals, its dimensions

panels are beautifully carved representations of the
four arms of tne service, viz: Cavalry, Artillery,

The crowning feature is a base to receive the ball
on which the liagle perches, whose extended wings
measure nve reet irom tip to tip.
When the procession has completed its route,
and the organizations assemble about the me
morial shaft, the ceremonies of dedication will
