The pence nml iiilttii(le of .Sunday morn ing was disturbed by two llrcs ene or which was as destructive as any that I,an caster has had In seme time, entailing a very heavy less. This lire was In the large building or A. C. Kepler, at Ne. 40 ntid 12 North Queen street, which has been occupied since the llrst or last September by Itellly Brethers A- Itaub, w heare among the heaviest hardware dealers In the city. The building extends from' Neith Queen te Market streets, and its entire length Is 251 feet while in width It Is 28 lect. It hcciiis te Ik) an iinrnrtunate building as this is the second large llre that has oo eo oe I'lirred In IU On the evening or the 8th el March 18(C), when Mr. Kepler occupied the building, and carried en the hardware business, a flrobreko out In the rear build ing and burned ferociously for several hours until North Queen street was reached. The less at tlinttime was mero than 20,X). The Jlre last night was much mere disastrous, as u stock of $10,000 was rendered pi Helically worthless. It was about (i o'clock en Sunday morn ing when this llre was discovered and sev eral inutles claim te have seen It llrst. The llrst kuuuludge the people had of It was when they saw smeke issuing inim the north side or the building about ene third or tiie distance In from Market street. A tire alarm was Hounded from box 12 at the t.ity hall, in Contre Square, by Henry 11. Fralley, who lives en Market street, clese te the Kepler building. The firemen, who had Just irtiirncd fiem the Martin lire, were en hand promptly and the engine? wcre stationed as follews: Ne. 1, at Mar ket and Onutge streets; Ne. 'J, at Oninge mid Neith Queen; Ne. 3, at Contre Square iindNoilh.Quecii, and Ne. I, at Slander's hat store en North Queeu. It is net known exactly whoie the liie started ; whether it. was in the cellar' or en the Hist fleer, where stoves, tipile ware, Ac, arokept. In the cellar thoie wcie great iuantltins of paints, varnishes, oils, Ac, mil. luiniM.ui'iy uiese were laiiuer trout than the point whero the lire biokeout. and they did net ignite. Theie is a beaid imitltleii which divides the cellar, near wheie the tire started, and tills was burned almost completely away. Through the clovnter the tlaines maile their way with great lapidlty tothe second and tlilnl lloers nud hIse te the loot, which had a hole burned through it and the tin melted. Almest the whele icar pait of the building was wrecked by the llames. The four lloers were cither completely burned away or milled se as te require new ones After the Hist fleer had been burned par ti illy it gave away, under its weight el stoves, heaters and otlier heavy goods, r.ud it went crushing through te the cellar, lining a great deal of damage. The weed work of nearly nil oflhe windows behind were burned out. The firemen put streams en the building through the front deer as well as from the tear. The entire store was filled with smeke and the heat was se In tense in the front that thn plate glass in the large show windows, as well as the deer, ciacked. The flre was koptcenuuod te the lear or the building, whero the greater dmuagewas done, though the less by the water in tiie front was nearly total. The firemen worked liardnud well for about three heuis, but they had the llames under control In ene hour. At ene time it was leared that the oils had caught and there was some oxclteuiont. Fortunately that was net the case, although the inslde or the building is almost mined In the rear. The greatest damage te the stock is by water, which flooded the greater init of the store room, as w ell as the diflcreut lloers behind.

Mme or the Cuhim He Ceniliictisl. Cel. Win. 11. Ferdney, ene of the most preminent lawyers In tlie bbile, in his day, died at his resldenee, Ne. 4'J Hist Orange street, at 0:30 o'clock this mernlilg, In his 8.Jd year. 4n August, 188.S, he Ii.nl an attack of weakness, bIiice whicli time his health has gradually railed. He was cenllued te bed Ter the past two weeks, but rolalned his consciousness almost te the last. He sur feied no pain in his final Illness and slept quietly away. SKETCH OF HIS CAUKKIt. Cel. Fordney was born en Chestnut Hill, this county, April II, 1807. His ancestors came from the berder line or France and Switzerland, and borero tlie Involution they lived en North Queen street, en thn propeities ewned by the late William Millar and new possessed by Shaub .t Hums. When tliree years old Cel. Font Fent Font ney's ).irents moved te LaiuMsterand with the exception or four ycara he was at Allegheny collcge, he hasllved all his long llfe in Lancaster city. w Cel. Feiducy lead law w ith ex-Prcsldent llucliiinaii, In the building new occupied by tlie l.Ti:i.t.iei:.sn.it, and was admitted tothe practice of the law In tlie sevcral courts or I-mcaster county In June, 1820, shortly after President Jacksen entcred upon his first presidential term. Judge lyeng. who died a few months age, was ene year Cel. Fordney's senior. Cel. Ferdney received Ills military tltle from Oev. Wolf, ha having been appolnted ene or his aides. Capt. James. K. Find ley, also of Lancaster, w as the ether aid. Cel. Ferdney accompanied Oovernor Weir en Ids llrst rlde ever the newly finished Pennsylvania railroad. When Cel. Ferdney first practiced law, the Lancaster bar had among its members lawyers with a national reputation. The leading lawyers wcre ex-President Bu chanan, Win. Nerrls, James Hepkins', who commanded tlie largesl practice ever known In the comity; Moulten C. Itegers, who subsequently became a supreme judge; Ebcnorer Wright and Samuel Parke; Gen. Ocorge B. Porler, who bo be C.11110 govorner or Michigan; Ames Ell umker, father of Nathaniel ami Levi Ell maker, and a nomlnce for vlce president of the United States; Ooergo W. Jacobs and Benjamin Champueys, afterwards Judge and senator; Beaii Frazer and Jehn It. Montgomery. It was whlle riding home In company with Mr. Ferdney from an arbitration hi Maytown, that Mr. Montgomery was thrown from his lioise and his spluuse severely injured that he nover recovered from the lingering ellects of the accident. Barten was tlie famous orator at tlie bar when Cel. l-erdney was admitted, Mind when Gov. David It. Perter apKiiuted Bar Bar eon state's attorney ler Philadelphia, he accepted only en condition that Cel. Ferd ney be inade the district attorney of Lan caster county. The governor made the ap ap Itelutmciit and Cel. 'ordney assumed tlie duties or that olllce In IKi'J and held the Ksl(ieu for six years. One orthe early cases (hat he tried was that of the celebrated Cebler murder. He was charged with killinga Hebrew peddier named Zollerbarh. The body had hovcii hevcii hovcii teen wounds en it, and notwithstanding these wounds the coroner's physician was about making an autopsy of the head te ascertain ihe cause of death. Cel. Fordney protested against the mutilation of the Is.dy, when thu cause or death was 'se evi dent, a dispute followed between the doc tor and him, and it ended in the lawyer knocking Iho physician out. Tlie doctor sued Cel. Ferdney, but the attorney general had a net )m, l entered and heartily ap ap ap proved the d drict attorney's course. The trial resulted In the conviction of Cebler, and ids execution followed in due time. Anether celebrated case tried by him was ene of counterfeiting. Walten, an Englishman, lived near tlie (lap and flooded thoceuutiy with counterfeit notes. Walten lived in great style. He was an expert engraver, and se oxcellont in its line was Ills work that en the trial, when the ceuntuifeil and gcnuiiie notes of the Bank of Pennsylvania, produced in cvi cvi denee, get mixed before the Jury, the cashier el the bank could net tell which were the forged ones. That appealed te scttle the ease in the minds el the jury that Walten was tee dangerous te be out or jail, and he was promptly convicted and sen tenced te a long term el" impiisemiieut. It was hhorleued by his surrender te the authorities of all his plates and ether dan gereus novices In his )oscssIeii. With tlie exception of two terms as pros ecuting attorney, Cel. Fordney nover held or sought olllce. He was nominated for Congresi by the Dcmeciacy w hen a split In the opposition made such a candidacy he(Cful, but he promptly declined. He was engaged fei forty years in the attive practice of the law and he deveted hlmseir closely te his profession, and with the aptl aptl lude and rare talent he iiessessed he reached tlie front rank at the bar. Over 20 years age he concluded te retire from the practice of his chosen piofcssieu w liile yet In geed health, and he gave him sell up sluce then te the enjoyment of a quiet retired Hie. He purchased a farm near the city, en which lie leund the reel ca ca teon he desired. lle was ene of the appiaisers npiioliited by the government te value the land upon w hlch the United States public building in Harrisburg was erected. Te Cel. Ferdney mero than any ether gentleman are the citizens of Lancaster in debted fur Iho completion of the water works. Councils had authorized a Jean at 11 per cent, te iie made, but, after advertis ing for a considerable while, it could net be obtained at home. Finally Cel. Fordney negotiated for the mm or $.!0,noe from the late Nicholas Diddle, then pieshh nt oflhe I mled Stales bank. 'I his lean wasob waseb LiiiKit lei live per tent, and rait for thirty years.

The children's lessen nt 1:.10 taught by Itev. lteads was a seclaI feature of the Saturday afternoon's oxeretscH. The sub ject was te have been " The Itese and Lily," but the cloudy condition or the skies forming a ravorable circumstance Mr. lteads decided le substitute In its place a " Candle Sermon. " The labor laber labor naclewas madeas daik bs piacllcable and with JJghled candles the sornien was taught.

The reads hud boceiun quite muddy from Iho rahiel' the previous day and the outlook for a large alttmdaiice at the camp was net very premising. Hewever, from the time the first tialn arrived the people lieg.ni te gather te the grounds, and thn weeds took en an animated sccne. On toward neon Iho skies cleared soinewhat and the outlook became soinewhat belter, teams came pouring in from the surioiind surieiind Ing country, the trains were all heavily ladoned vvilh passengers, and thu grounds began te 1111 until at 3 o'clock therq must have been fully threo thousand people hore. The mernlilg services wcre held In the tabornaeie, but this was se crowded that it was decided te try le held the remaining serviccs lu the ejien air. Accordingly, when the hour for children's meellnir nrilved, that service was held in Iho audi torium en thn outside, but again the clouds began te gather and before the lessen was ever a shower of rain foil that dreve tlie audience te seek cover as best they could. These who had lents and letlages ran te them, andacottage or a tent wilhadnreu or mere people crowded Inte It was no un common sight. Others who had Just diepped In ler the day sought the sholter el' the public! tents or the tabernacle, where at 3 o'clock the sermon of the afternoon waspreached. Tlie usual dovellonal service was held at 0 11. 111. and at 8 a. in. yesterday. Mr. Geergo Brubaker, or Wllllamspert, led the prayer meeting, which was largely iitlended, but at 10 o'clock tlie llrst sermon olllie day was ilellvcicd. E. G. lteed, 1). D., president of Dickinsen college, preached Ihosermen. lle mid before begi lining te preach that he had net bccn.w till for some time past nud was net in a condition te preach that morning. Hewever he had been invited te preach hore and In tended te de tlie licst he could. He seiected as his text, Acts 20, 19: " WhoreitiKm eh I KlngAgrlppa, 1 wiih net disobedient le the heavenly vision," Paul's only fault was that heJiad persisted In persecuting the early Chiistlans after Christ had been crucilied. He was stricken when en his way te Damascus and tliore saw 11 vision which had converted htm. After Unit he went about preaching the gospel and doing go si until be was arrested nud hurled Inte prison. Ftistus, anxious te relieve himself Irein the resiHiiiHlbillly of ceiidemiilm: a Iteiiiau, had sent him le Agripjia, tlie gov gev gov oreor, te be tiled by him, lleru also Iio might have refused te open his lips te make u defense, for it was Iho privilege ei the Itemau te apjMial te Cuisar, but here was lhoeiK)rluiillyhohad sought te declare Christ. Iio declared his conver sion by the vision, that he had net been disobedient te the call of heaven, and wished that Agripp.i might be like him "extept these chains." He felt that Ged Inula weiklurhiiii te de mid he asked : "Lrd, what wilt thou hue me tode?" Thern is no better question any Chiistlaii inn ask. Ged Is In earnest. He never tillles. lle wants iiicu te work. Paul always winded te knew what thu line or duty was and he did It. Paul hewever was net the only man who had been changed by .1 vision. Many an other has had a revelation. Mauyspliils may net soe until Ged touches these spirits. President Garfield oike told a gentleman that he had a vision that changed him wheu he was llyeaiseld. The great President Iteliii, or Vishuell college, had a vision. Tlie prophet Jacob had a vision that changed Ills life and se also had Jehn Buiiyan. The premise of Gist is that young moil should hce visions and old men should dream dreams. Dr. Vernen read the morning lessen Irem the Mb chapter of Acts. An overflow meeting consisting of sing ing, praying and lecitlug fixperioiiLes, was conducted in thu auditeiium, during the mernlilg Kcrmen, by the Hevs. Heeds and Themas.
