DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
A Third Street nnlnrn House Destroyed
Loan, 9 50,00 0.
Shortly after 4 o'clock this morning an alarm of
fire was sounded from Third and Knee street, and
on being given to the tlreinen the various com
panies were quickly on the ground and In service.
Although their services proved of no avail, as far as
the building Itself was concerned, they succeeded
In saving a vast amount of valuable property In the
neighborhood. When first discovered, smoke was
Been Issuing from the tipper stories of a building
Pltuated In the rear of No. 219 North Third street.
Being difficult of access, the entrance to It being a
narrow paBsnge-way, the firemen could not readily
net at It. The contents being of an Inflammable
nature, the flames spread rapidly upwards and
downwards, and in a remarkably short time tho
whole structure was wrapped In flames.
There being many valuable properties adjoining,
the Uremen turned their attention to them, and not
withstanding that they fought the flames des
perately, the building In front took lire, and the con
tents being of the same combustible charauter as
that of the back structure the whole upper portion
t It was destroyed. The lire burned stubbornly for
three hours, and as a matter of course, Immense
quantities of water were required, and in this neces
sary Hooding the contents of adjoining stores were
more or Icbs damaged. Of the front building the
third and fourth Hoors were burned out, and the
material on thellrstand fourth floors was so seriously
Injured that it will bring little or no value. The rear
Btrnclnre was entirely destroyed and nothing re
mains this morning but a remnant of the walls.
The building on Third street was occupied on the
first and second floors bv II. N. 1'ratt, leather
dealer, and on the third and fourth iloors by F.
Shoettle, paper box manufacturer. The rear build
ing was likewise occupied by theso parties, Mr.
Pratt using the basement, first, second, ami fifth
tloors, and Mr. Shoettle the third and fourth floors.
Their stock will nrove a total Iors. Mr. Fratt's In
surance Is for f'20,000, and Is divided among the
People's Company, Of Worcester, Massachusetts,
Home, of New Haven, Yonkers, of New York, and
the Spring Garden and Reliance of this city. This
will cover the loss. Mr. Schoettle'a Insurance Is
110,000, and will cover his loss. The buildings be
longed to Bernard l''.llulsemann, and are insured,
but not fully, In the Fire Association.
So rapidly did the names communicate from the
rear to the front structure, that Thomas lilair, a
workman, who slept lu the Third street building,
was compelled to make his exit by means of the
water-spout,
Nos. '215 and 21T Third strent were occupied on the
lower tloors by Wanner, Kline A Co., dealers In
glassware. This firm sustains some loss by water.
A small structure in the rear took lire and was con
sumed. The Insurance of this Urm is ?;i'.,ooo, and is
In the Delaware Mutual, Reliance. North America,
Anthracite, and Fame companies. The upper stories
were used as a boot and shoe establishment by John
I. Slate, who suil'ers considerably lrom wafer. Ills
loss, however, Is fully covered In tho Hide and
leather, Royal, North British, North America of
Hartford, and City of New York Companies. The
building belonged to John C. Wanner and is insured
In the Fire Association.
No. 2'ilwns occupied by Ilorshcy A fichwenk,
grocers. Heie the Insurance l'atrol rendered great
service, but still some loss was sustained by the
the packages resting on the floor. The loss Is cov
ered In the Niagara and Spring Garden Companies.
The building was insured In the Flro Association.
on the north of the building in which the lire
originated Is a thoroughfare known as Danneker's
avenue. In the rear of the burning building were
four dwellings, the roofs and front walls of which
were completely demolished by the falling walls.
No. 9 was occupied by Caspar Prentzcll; No. 11 by
John Pellarr; No. 13 by William Blalch; and No.
in by Samuel King.
The origin of the fire Is at present Involved in
mystery; and Is being Investigated by Fire Marshal
Blackburn.

been decided that judgments and mortgages of no

The Thirteenth Annnnl Hronlon of the North
1'hllndclphlrt Ilnptlat Anaoclatlon The Open.
In Sermon Interesting Proceeding.
The thirteenth annual session of tho North Phila
delphia Association of i '.split-1 churches was com
menced this morning at half-past in o'clock, In the
Nlcetown Baptist Church, Nlcetown. There was a
large attendance of both ladles and gentlemen
present.
The proceedings were opened with the announce
ment of the hymn,
"Jesus, and shall it ever bo,
A. mortal man ashamed of Thee?"
which was sung by the congregation. The Becond
chapter of tho Epistle to tho Hebrews was read;
after which prayer was offered by Dr. Howard Mil
com. After the singing of anotner hymn the Hev.
O. P. Each es, alternate, In the absence of lie v. J. C.
Wynn, delivered the opening sermon.
The reverend gentleman took as hH text parts of
tho 8th and 9lh verses of the second chapter ot
Hebrews, beginning, "Thou haHt, put all things Into
subjection under his feet." The following Is an
abstractor the sermon:
Thescversis cive us three leading thoughts, the
first of which is the pointing out of the original
destination of the race, the eentnal putting under.
The second point shown Is the fact that this putting
under is future. We do not now llnd all thiugs put
under his feet, but we shall hereafter.
The curse Is on manhood, on womanhood, on na
ture. We witnessed a few days ago the uncrowning
of a man, when a nution as by one volco was sub
servient to tho dethronement of a man high in
authority, but this Is only the shadow of the de
thronement of sin. In Boston last year one man In
every fifteen or twenty saw the Inside of a (lunge. in.
Is not this a proof of tho depravity of man? The
prophet's gaze Is needed to show us that all thiugs
are cot put under man. Our own disquiet feelings
will show us that.
In the third place tho man of Ood looks op and
sees the divine man Jesus crowned with glory and
honor. All things are put under His feet. The crown
Is put upon His head and ou the head of all humanity
through mm. ah tnings in nature amrin tnis iact,
that all things are put nnder linn. The brute
creation were subiec to His mastership. Tne prince
of this would was himself cast out by His power.
And in modern times sadowa and sedan will go to
prove His sovereignty. The chassepot and the
needle-gun will only prove His glory.
Another tiling is tne ract that tne human nature
of Chi 1st Is raised. We know by experience how
low the nature of man can sink, but we can only
know through Htm how high it can be raised. He
took part in human nature, lie is a brother in
Jesus still. The (J-odhead came down to humanity
In order that humanity, through Him, might, be
taken up to the Godhead. This thought Is insisted
upon all through the epistle, lie brings all thiugs
near to urai inrougn ii is person.
it is in Jesus tnat all things whicn were originally
promised toman are fulfilled. We are no longer
outside of Christ but In Christ. We realize the ex
pression which Pnul used over and over attain, "in
Christ Jesus." We should not forget what Jesus
himself never forgot, that we are one In Him. He
enters into a diviue oneness witti;evory one of His
ennarcn.
1 he Idea Is carried out all through the Scriptures.
We are said to be buried not like Christ but with
Chtlst. The Scottish woman In tho reign of one of
the Enelish kings, when persecuted, and asked
what she thought of Jesus now, got hold of this
idea. She said, "I think I see 11 lm suiTerlng shrough
one oi niB memoers.
He was made in the flesh; Ho was made a little
lower than the angels, but He has now been raised
mg ner tnan any angei. vv e dare not, inereiore, sin
"1 want to be an aiipel." We want to be saints of
Ood. The saints of 0 3d shall judge the angels. Tiie
key-note of the Christian song should be "1 want to
be to desus."
This hone of being in Jesus Is tho only hope to
uphold us in many trials of lire. It takes away our
burdens, raises us to His level, and makes us nope
again. Only through it can we say, "O death, where
Is thy sting? O grave, where Is thy victory?"
Tins union is lormea only by raitn. it is not ny
churchly or priestly manufacture that this union can
Deformed, womesay it is Dy nantismai regenera
tion, by forms and ceremonies. But tho Scripture
is simple and does away with all these, it is by
latin oniy.
it is iy it oniy tnat we are raised. Tne jewisn
Rabbis In Cincinnati lately enunciated this doctrine,
tnnt men snouid he elevated togetner by means of
science. This cannot be. We can only bo raised
through the light that is In Christ Jesus.
The limixcai, tne organ or tne free thinkers, said
recently we must get rid of Jesus, we must get rid
or all tnef e religious superstitions oeiore we can no
better. But If Jesus were thus gotten rid of would
we be better? We all know what the eil'ect
would be.
We need, brethren, to look at the ascending
Saviour before we can do anything, and then It is
ours to go out and declare to our lellow-men that it
is only in Him tnat tney can be raised.
if there is one soul nere to-day wno is out or jesus.
I would hold Jesus up to lilm as his only hope. There
Is a beautiful hope held out to us that when Ho
shall appear we shall be like Him. We know not
how it shall be, but we know that It shall be, and la
that hope we live.

TIIE UNIVERSITY.
The Pinna tor the New Buildings.
The friends of this institution, who have waited
with no small Impatience for information concern
ing its new building, will be glad to learn that at
last the most important ami uimcuit step preparatory
sity act slowly soinetimes,perhaps, with unnecessary
to tne worn nas ocen taKen. i ue trustees oi our uui ver
delay but In a matter Involving the expenditure of
three or four hundred thousand dollars a proper cir
cumspection canuot be condemned, and legislation
that is to settle the educational s:atus of our city
for several generations may well be guarded. Tho
gentlemen in charge of the matter nave by no means
been Idle, meetings of the committee having been
held at Intervals all through the late summer. A
report was rendered to the board at its meeting last
week, In accordance with which the premiums
ottered ior plans were awarded, an architect
elected, and the main features of a plan lor the
new building determined. The arcnitect will be
Mr. T. W. Klcharis, Instructor in Drawing in the
I'nlverslty, a young man, but favorably known as
the designer of several elegant public buildings. The
plan contemplates a massive building with wings,
the whole nearly three hundred feet long. Tne
main portion will contain, among other rooms, a
library, a cnanei or itvo stories in neignr,
and accommodations for museums, etc. One
wing will lie allotted to the Depart
ment of Arts, and will be divided Into rooms of seve
ral sizes to suit both large clashes for lectures and
smaller sections for recitations. The other wing
will be occupied by the Scientific School, the nucleus
of which now exists in the "scientlilo sections" of
the regular college classes. Thts wing will provide
for a laboratory, a cabinet, rooms for practice by
students of chemistry, etc. The architecture !
(ioth)o, but not strict ; the materials will be serpen
tine stone, witn racings in oars nrown and yellow:
and light, heat, and ventilation will be specially pro
vided ror. in many omer particulars aiso arrange
ments will be made for the health, comfort, an l
convenience of students quite equal to any in our
country, lr not iar surpassing mem.
The work of maturing the minor details of the
plan will be rapidly pushed forward, every possible
preparation be made during the coming winter, and
gronnd tie broken in the early Bprtng. If this be
ginning be successfully made, there can be no doubt
that the session of 1872-73 will be held in West Phila
delphia an event most devoutly to be wished for, if
only because of the narrow, cramped accommoda
tions wnicn tne present uuiming anorus. Tne roa
of the classes this year counts very close to two
hundred students, and nearly every room la uncom
fortably full when the whole number of any one
class are in it. iiiuaneipaians wno appreciate ana
support tne University now will have a double
reason for so doing when the University otTvn to
them its future manifold increased advantages.

COMMUNICATED.
AVUIInin M. ltunn.
To the Editor of The Eoenitvj Ttlryraph : Yoar well
known independence, and the fact that the columns
of your journal are at all times open to an expres
sion of "voices from the people," justify and en
courage me in venturing to say a few words in favor
of a gentleman who has many times offered the
shield of his body for the protection or our Govern
ment, when It was so ruthlessly assailed by the trai
tors who sought Its destruction. Appreciating that
Tub Evening Telegrai'h Is an Independent Journal,
I do not, of course, lose sight of tie fact that you
have no candidates to whose interest you are bound ;
but as I have ever found you, personally and as an
editor, ready to espouse the cause of any one who is
persecuted, I feel assured you will admit this hastily-
written communication into your columns.
Enemies, political aud personal, have raised a
"hue and cry'' against William M. Bunn, the Re
publican candidate for Register of Wills. What for?
On what account? What has he d,ne to merit
the crusade that has been instituted against him?
Can any one tell? Ho far as I am Informed, and I
have watched the matter closely, there is absolutely
no basis for a charge against either the integrity,
the moral character, or the political fidelity of Mr.
Bunn. It was charged against him that he obtained
his nomination by fraud, and that the convention
was "packed." I was a member of that convention,
Mr. Editor, and although not elected to it in the
interest of any particular person, I was the friend
of Mr. Morau; but I mu3t say, if yo.i will allow me,
that I was never in a convention wiiere the choice
of the members was more fairly and deliberately
made known.
Now, who Is this Mr. Bunn? A niodest and rather
unassuming gentleman, who served the ordinary
time of apprenticeship to the business of a carver.
His employer sent him out into the world as a good
workman and an honest man, and immediately
thereafter the Government called for troops to sus
tain it against the Rebels who sought its destruction.
Mr. Bunn, as did thousands of other young men,
responded to this call, and ror three years roughthis
way under the flag or the Union, until, wounded
and in an almobt dying condition, he came to a halt
in that pest house of the South known as Libby
Prison. On his return home, or sho'tly afterwards
he was elected as a member of the Legislature, and
I challenge any man to produce a better record as a
member than his.
Mr. Bunn 6eeks an offlce ror which ho is alto
gether capable. Brave lu the araiy, he is in civil
life prudent aud discreet, and will till the otllce to
which he aspires with credit to himself and satis
faction to the public. "A True Republican."

FROM WASHINGTON.
The Patent Ofllee.
Sprcial Despatch to the Evening Icleyraph.
Washington, Sjpt. 2T.
Judce Fisher. Commissioner of Patents, is
out in a card to-day, denying that he drew u
the blunderins bill reorganizing the Patent
(Juice. He says it was the work of the corntnia-
eiouers appointed to revise, simplify, arrange,
and consolidate the laws of tho United States.
Consic'erimr that these commissioners were sup
posed to be learned in law, the wonder Is how
the blunder occurred. Judge Fisher
savs : The report of the commissioners
was referred to the Committee on Revision of
Laws, who, in theory at least, were specially
charged with preparation of a repealing clause,
tince the whole matter ot the revision ana con-
tolidation was with them, the Commissioner of
Patents and Committee on Patents being
especially interested in amendments of tho law
rather than in codification of existing statutes.
The statement that the law abolishes the Patent
Ofliee is also an error. The act repeals former
acts treating of the Patent Ollice, but expressly
provides for continuation 01 the oiuco hereto
fore established and known as the Pateut OlUce,
declaring that officers and employes of said
ollice shall continue to, be one Commissioner of
Patents, etc.
Trouble In Soqth Carollnn.
Trivate advices from fcoutu Carolina repre

have been shot In Laurens county, ond a report
prevails tlitt lrom three hundred to live nun
dred men, fully armed, have appeared near
Clinton, and asserted their intention of driving
out the colored militia. Several wagon loads of
ammunition have been fouud coming from
Georgia into Edgefield county, and specimens
of cartridges have been shown to the Governor.
It is thought that Georgia desperadoes are to
be imported to assist iu carrying the election for
the Democracy, and that this is being done
under the auspices of the so-called reform lead
ers. It is also believed tnat tjovernor seott will
be forced to call out the militia to quell disorders

William Nixon, alias Fentz, charged with the mur
der of wunam i'nrney, wss resumed tnis morning.
The commonwealth called a numter of witnesses,
one of whom, Martha Illackston, testified that tho
prisoner llred the pistol over her shoulder; that she
heard John Ayres tell him to pull out his six-barrel
revolver and snoot, Mie was certain tnat tnat I'entn
was the man because she was acquainted with him
and they had ridden up town In a car together.
Anotner witness saw tne accused pun tne pistol
from his porset. The testimony In the mam was

Internal Revenue Bnnervlsora nod Their

The following points of a decision recently mada-
in the United States District Court for Mlslsslppl
(Scnthern District) will be read with much disgust
by all classes of the business community, and can
oe maoe me instrument oi mucn oppression in tho
hands of supervisors or their deputies in the Inter
nal revenue service. It arose In the case of St an-
food vs. Green, and tho points are: "A supervisor
of Internal revenue is entitled under the law to ex
amine tne t)ook8 and papers belonging to banks,
bankers, brokers, and banking associations, and is
not bound to Inform the owners of his purpose In
making such an examination.
" here a summons for the nroductlon of books
8nd papers has been Issued by a supervisor of Inter
nal revenue, and such summons has been duly exe
cuted, but not compiled with, a United States dis
trict judge may, upon anpiication and proof of these
incis, issue a writ oi atraenmcnt.
"Tho eleventh section of the act approved Jul
20, lscs, specifying the powers of supervisors, Is not
unconstitutional in civing tnem tne right to examine
such books and papers as show the operation of
onnKP, etc., wun me unone, and are connected witn
the internal revenue of the United States."
