It Tim Pir an eanaa Morning In Phila delphia IVBlia rilled with Furnltate, l'lat and Other llumahetd Kneels. Ileaoeok'fl sterage wareheuse, said te hare been the largest establishment of IU kind in Philadelphia, was burned Sunday morning. It was a brick slruoture, six stories in height with a frentage of SC feet en Drewn street and extended baek te Atmere stroet, 134 feet. Jacob E. Itldg way built the wareheuse three years age at a cost of $3G,000 and rented it te Mr. 1 tea cook en a ten years' lease. The building contained about 100 rooms and was stocked from the basement te the reef with household furniture of all kinds, belonging te about COO different persons, all of whom had dopesitod goods there varying from a small trunk te twenty eart leads of furniture. On the first fleer there were sixty or seventy pianos and seme forty large mirrors. More than half the brick wall en the west side of the wareheuse fell with a crash about six o'clock in the morning, completely demolishing two three-story briek dwellings, Nes. 1331 and 1323 Drewn street, oecupiod respectively by the families of Mr. Werth and Samuel Denoy, and owned by the Dalrd estate. Three three-stery brick heuses, imme diately in the rear of these, fronting en Dalrd court, and oecupiod by the families of Jehn Hayes, Jeseph Dalrd and Michael Dlaek, were also demolished by tbe falling walls. These, tee, belonged te the Dalrd estate Three houses, fronting en Atmere street. Nes. 1322, 1324 and 1320, also owned by the Dalrd ostate, and tenanted by William Knappel, Frank O'Leng and Mis. Georgians Dunnat, wero badly damaged by the fall. Ten minutes later a large portieu of the wall en the east side gave way, carrying with it te destruction the two story dwel ling of H. Devan, Ne. 1315 Brown strce., cracking the walls of Jehn Whartman's house, Ne. 1313 Drewn, completely raising Daniel Donavan's house, Ne. 1311 Atmore street, and damaging the dwelllng of Police Oftlcer Matthew Sheridan, adjoining it en tue cast. Fortunately the occupants of all these houses had anticipated the danger and re moved te a safe distance, though in raauy cases considerable housoheld furniture was destroyed. That no lives were lest, net any person injured worth speaking' of, is little less than a miracle. While there are many reperts curreut as te the origin of the tire noueof them could be oentlrmod. Mr. Heaccck stated that the watehman, whose duty it also is te keep the establishment clean, had in formed him that he had made a tour of the building just befere the fire was dis covered, and found everything all right. Some think that the tire was caused by spontaneous combustion. The building owned by Mr. Hldgway, was insured iu several companies for $20, 000. Mr. Heacock ostimated the less en the contents at $ 100,000, and thinks they are insured ter net less than CIOU.UW. Many of the owners had placed the insur ance themselves en the goods. A number. hewever had the insurance elfected through air. ueacoefc, wne had about 830,000 in surcilen these goods, divided pre rata among the following companies : Western of New l erk ; Uermania, Sun, Londen, Lancaster and Greenwich, of Londen ; Pba'nix, of Droeklyu ; Queeu and lteyal, of Montreal : Springfield, of Springfield, Mass., and Lumbermen's, Reliance and Merchants' of Philadelphia.

It is stated that only about one-third of the persons owning furniture stored in the wareheuse had their property Insured. Thn less en snrrenudiug buildings demolished or damaged by falling walls is estimated at ? 15, 000 ; partially in surcd. Eight persons were employed in the warehouse, The principal less sustained by Mr. Heacock Is in the shape of uncel- lected rent en tha goods destroyed. ameuntiug te $10,000 or $15,000.

The family were natives of Ilohensbad, Dayern, Germany, and ou their way te friends Iu this country. When ene day out from Dremen the husband and father went ou deck at noeu, and in the pr"seace of many passengers, deliber. ately jumped overboard. Every effort was made te save the man, but without avail, and the ship kept en with the widow and erphaued children. Fellow passengers say that the ceuple had many quarrels, always about money, the woman rcfusiug te give te her husband any of the coin In her possession. Mrs. Fridel showed Superintendent Jacksen a purse containing $500 in German money. which she had kept concealed during the passage, She is a comparatively young woman, being 37 years of age, while her husband was 40. While the mother was telllug her story the children gathered around her aud looked up eagerly iu the face of the reporter, and as the words dropped from their pareut's lip they shorted sigus of omotien, which aflected all within hearing.

Jehn Prederlek Btelnman, who has llved i,t menlty for almost a century, and through every day of the time enjoy. inglUhbiheetoeMlderatlon, died yester. day afternoon about one o'elook at his farm residence, In Drumore township, whero for twenty years past he has been usejl te lire during the warm season. Ue had been gradually falling lu atrength for seme yeara, though the apparent ohange In his 1 condition for the past year had been slight and the end was nnoxpeeted when It eame, though anxiety was felt because of his frequent refusal te take nenrishment. The death was se ealm and peaceful that the time of Its oeourrenoo is net known te theso of the family who sat by his bodside watehlng for the evi dently coming dissolution. Jehn F. Stelnaan was born en the 10th day of December 1769, and was conse quently within two months and two weeks of ninety-Are years of age. lie was born in Lancaster, in the heuse in whleh M new Hubley'a drug store, adjacent te the one in which he oarried en the hardware business all his ilfe. Ills father Jehn Fredoriek, had the business before him, but was net mueh of a business man, being of a aoelal, iudo iude lent turn, dlsposed te go nut in business hours te soe his friends aud visit the Swan hotel, in Centre Sqaare, where the gentle men in these daya gathered te drink Ma Ma delra wlne from the cask. The truth Is that his wlfe was the business manager ; and se when Jehn Fredoriek, jr., came te man's estate, he was speedily ushcred latu the full responsibility of the baslness and took it into his awn name wheu he was but a little piit his majority. It was a small business then ; originally it had been smaller, having oemo te Jehn F. Steinman, the tlrst, through Christepher Ilayne, who married his wldowed mether, after her tlrst husband.Chrlstlan Steinraau, had died lu 1700 at Lltitz, Jwliore he wan engaged in building a mill ler the congre gation, lie was the fifth person buried iu the graveyard. IIe had oemo te this country seme years bafore, tlrst residing In Bethle horn. Tha flrst born seu was left in Eu rope and afterwards became .a missionary, leavinir no descendants. The soeond seu, Jehn Froderiok, waaberu inBethlohem iu 1752 and weh tbe only ether child of the marriage. Ills son, Jehu Frederick, jr.. as he was long Htyled, was like wise the only 0110 of two sous te live aud loave descendants, his elder I brother, Geerge Miebael, dying iu tbe wesi tuuies or youew lever, whither he had geno with his undo Jitoeb Mayer, as a clerk iu his shipping business. Jehn F. Steinman was tbe yeuugest of a family of soven, his live sisters changing their names In marrlage te Bryan, Ernst, Dlnekle, Cottrell and Ernst, Ills mother was Sybilla Margaretha Mayer, daughter et Geerge Ludwig Mayer, of this eity. He inherited the bttsiness ouergy of his mother in a heightened degice. He never knew an idle moment until he retlred with what he deemed corapo cerapo corape tenoy at the age of fit), uulesi It may have been when he volunteered In the war of 1812 and went ou a short eampaigu with Captain Humes' company, which camped at Elkton, Md., but saw no service. Ills inclination was te straight forwardness and frankness irresistibly. Ue may eften have boeu unjust, but he was nevar intentionally se ; aud It was uet In his nature te be unjust in that acceptation of the tgrtn, which makes it synonemens wIthdlsbouest. He never bad, in his ninety-tire years of life, a dishonest Impulse, and nu ene Uvea te-day who can say that they evor knew or ever heard of a dishonest act of Jehn F. Steinman. It Is a noble record.te leave behind him. Who would have a neblei? Men are famous who are uet just 5 but tbe just man Is the model work of Ged. Minding his own business with intelligence, hen esty aud zeal, and giving te the public interests such service as was demauded from him, with the same slugloness of do de do vetion that he gave te his own affairs. Jehn F. Steinman was lu bis active life a model eitizen. He built up his own busi ness from small te great things and gave it au impetus that helped it te still grew after he surrendered it ou January 1st, 1849, te bis eldest son, his second seu Charles Fahnestoek, who was about te join the firm en coming of age, having died of typhoid fever in the previous August. With a bolf-ceutrol few men manifest, Mr. Steiumau gave up money acquisition when he thought he had enough for his wants, and while he wa but flfty-nlne years old took te himself the remainder of his years. Ne oue'evcr enjoyed mere fully thoeonll decce of his fellow eitizen. He took 11 very aetlre part in the affairs of the city, and for many years acted iu its councils and soheol beard, being the president et tbe latter from its formation until he with drew from publle affairs. He was also the president of the Oonestega Steam MilM company when organized and continued te be until he resigned after they wero built and fairly established. These publle duties he discharged se long and zsaleiuly notwithstanding the deafness whieh always troubled him and whieh induced him te withdraw from these intuitions when it seemed te him that he oeuld be spared He-, was always stugularly modest and free from pretousien. while maietaliiliiL' a just self appreciatieu and oeuceptiou or .bis abilities. He was free from' every preteme of vanity and uffoeta- tten ; and wborever lie was Btruek there came forth the ring that cmilrmed the guinea's stamp. Ue was a Democrat of the btralchteat seet, dyed deep. We de net knew that he ever voted any ether tloket : though ha held his ballet te bj sacred and subjeet te no man's scrutiny. Oae efthe earliest aud strongest impressions of ene of his sons is the reply be made te him, en one oceisiou when the child asked him. as he steed at his shaving stand, who he was going te rote for that day: "none of your business." Ue was married twlea first te Maria Gill, of Lancaster, seoend te Mary Smith Fahnestoek. daughter of - Charles Fahnestoek of "TheWarree," Chester oeunty. lie had been wifeless for ever thirty years. Twe of the three children of the tlrst marriage aud live of that uf the second lived te care for him te the last days et his leug life. He was fend el agriculture and au out dear Ufa. He had Uu aers of laud wlthlu the elty HmlU, that hai bjeu lu ttie family Ut a huudred yaars or mere, the oultlvatleu et which greatly auuued his laisura Leurs. He bought soma iaruii wheu hi rutlreJ from bujluessaud ia various ways et labor kept hU euergles from rusting lu bis lat. ter years, At eighty-five he wai still an aotive man, riding un herse bask, of whleh art he was a master, and -easily held the dtstluotleu of balng the bast rider in the oeunty, It was only after he passed four soero aud ten that ha became markedly invalid ; he was able te walk until within a year, and bis mind was dear after his body beoame weak. The men who knew him well have all gene befere him. There are a few In tbe commu nity who served as young men with him lu his publle labors of two score years age; these have a vivid fcoeception of his recti tude and vigor. Te ethers It ia a tradition handed down te them by their elders. Bnt no one who has heard old men talk of the industry, economy aud intelligence that onea characterized the administration of pnblie affairs in Lancaster has failed te hear the uame c.t Jehn F.
