A- Destructive Fire
An Extensive Laboratory Partly Burned
toss AJSI> INaUBAIfCES.
This morning, about a-quarter past seven
o’clock, a fire broke out in the extensive labora
tory of Messrs. Powers <fc Wcightman, at the
corner, of Ninth and Parrish streets, in the Thir
teenth Ward. The establishment is very large,
extending from Parrish, to Brown streets, nmi
along the latter street ncarij to lenth
comprises several substantial buck buildings
used for various purposes connected with the
manufacture of drugs. - _ ,
The fire originatea m the building on Brown
street, which extended froth Kessler to Palm
streets, 100 feet, and was lour stories in height.
This structure was used principally for the manu
facture of quinine and alcohol. In the south
western part of the building, on the first floor,
was a large tank of alcohol. This exploded.
The head was blown out and the vapor scattered
throughput the entire room, setting it
in a Saxe ia a moment. The explosion did
not make a loud report, but resembled somewhat
the dumping of a cartload of coal on the side
walk. There was great force in the explosion,
however, as a portion of the wall on Palm street
was blown out. There were several workmen
in the room at the time. They were somewhat
scalded about the head, face and body, but none
were seriously injured. They all succeeded in
escaping from the building.
’ Owing to the combustible nature of the contents
of the building, the fire Spread with fearful
rapidily, and in about five minutes the building
at Palm and Brown streets was all in flames.
The powerful steam pumps and other
apparatus, always kept|reaay in case of fire, were
immediately pm in operation by the workmen in
the establishment, and the alarm was given by
telegraph. The Fire Department was soon on
the ground and got to work energetically to sub
due the flames.
For upwards of two honrsthe fire raged furi
ously, threatening the destruction of the entire
establishment. A fresh, breeze was blowing from
the southwest, and cinders and an immense vol
ume of dense black smoke were carried in a north
easterly direction for several squares, causing
much tear and apprehension among the resi
dents in that section.
The building on Brown street was entirely
burned out, and its contents were consumed.
There was no machinary beyond ordinary chemi
cal apparatus used for manufacturing purposes,
but there was considerable stock in process of
manufacture.
A range of buildings on Palm street, three
stories in height and 150 feet in length, was like
wise destroyed. This structure was also used for
manufacturing'purposes.
North of this was a largo fire-proof building,
and the heat was so intense that the iron doors
soon became red hot, but they successfully
resisted the flames, and thus the progress of the
fire was stopped.'As before stated, about two
hours elapsed before the firemenjhad succeeded in
sufficiently mastering the fire to make it sure that
the entire establishment would not be destroyed,
but the ruins continued to burn for several hours
after that, and many of the fire companies were
kept in service.
At the N.W. comer of Palm and Brown streets
stands a double three-storied brick building, be
longing to the same firm, and used as a carpen
ter shop. Thie escaped the flames in consequence
of the wind being in an opposite direction, but
was pretty well flooded with water. In the rear
of (his structure was a pile of lumber
whioh took fire and was almost entirely con
sumed. Beyond the lumber pile is a row of small
houses which escaped destruction, but were con
siderably acorcheo. ! The furniture of the occu
pants was removed and was somewhat damaged.
The cornices of some of the houses on the
south side of Brown street were scorched by the
intense beat.
There is an insurance of $lOO,OOO upon the es
tablishment, divided among the following com
panies':
Pennsylvania $15,000
Spring Garden......................... 10,000
State of Penn5y1vania;................ 5,000
Reliance....... 10,000
Delaware 10,000
.Franklin 10,000
American 10,000
Fire Association 5,000
North American 5,000
Fame
Ph0tnix.............
Etna of Hartford.
Niagara of New York
Narragansett of Providence,R. I.
Total $lOO,OOO
It is thought that this insurance will be suffi
cient to cover the loss.
As this is about the commencement of the
quinine season the fire will somewhat interfere
with the operation of the firm, but their estab
lishment is so extensive that they will’be able to
fill all orders with bnt little delay.
No person will be thrown- out of employment
in consequence of the fire, as those employed in
rthc buildings destroyed will bo set to work in
.other portions of the laboratory.
A portion of the wall of the building on Brown
street, near the corner of Palm, fell while the
fire was at its height, having been forced from its
position when the explosion of the alcohol tank
occurred. A fireman with a hose pipe in his hand
wsß struck on the head by one of the foiling
bricks and was felled to the ground, bnt was not
seriously injured.
Powers & Wcightman’s Laboratory Is one of
the oldest,(ifnot the oldest) establishments in the
United States. Its founder was Mr. John Farr,
an English chemist of great skill, who, in con
junction with Mr. Abraham Kunzi, a Prussian,
began to manufacture chemicals in a building at
Fourth aud Coates streets, more than fifty years
ago. The key to their success was the dis
covery by Mr. Farr, ot the secret of tho manu
facture of quinine. This drug hod hitherto been
produced by French chemists only, and as they
refused to divulge the secret, * and as other
chemists had striven in vain to discover it, the
manufacturers enjoyed an entire monopoly of
the market of the would, and commanded an ex
travagant price for their production.
Half a century ago Mr. Farr applied himself
persistently to an effort to acquire the art of
making the quinine, and bis efforts were finally
crowned wiin that complete success which so
" often atteuds the. application of great learning
and keen intelligence to an investigation. Air.
Farr at first kept his secret to himself, but manu
factured the article while in partnership with Mr.
Kunzi. The quinine produced by him was
actually superior In quality to the French article,
but the popular prejudice was in, favor of tho
latter, and although the former commanded a
ready sale, it did not bring as great a price as the
imported article. Gradnally, however, it drove
the latter out of the market, and for many years
Mr. Farr supplied the whole continent of Ame
rica.
The secret was faithfully kept for a long pe
riod. bnt it was finally entrusted to workmon
whom he was compelled to employ to assist
him, and through their treachery It was disposed
of to other parties. When the extent of the busi
ness authorized it, Messrs. Farr & Kunzi moved
to the comer of Ninth and Brown streets, aud as
the demand upon their productive capacity in
creased. new buildings were constantly added.
About' tbirty-6lx years ago Mr. Kunzi with
drew. and within a period ’of one or two yoars
afterwards. Mr. Farr associated with him in his
business Mr. William Weightman, his nephew,
and Mr. Thomas H. Powers, both of them then
very young men.
The business increased rapidly, and in a few
■years an extensive establishment designed for the
-' manufacture of certain coarse drugs which were
to be made in large quantities, was built at the
Falls of the Schuylkill, and this branch is still in
active operation. On the Ist of March, 1817,
twenty-one veart ago to-morrow, Mr. Farr died.
Messrs. Powers and Weightman then assumed
entire control of the busiuess which lie had es
tablished upon so firm a basis, and in their
bauds it baa become of absolutely
tremendous proportions. The establishment
is the largest in the United States,
and the high character of its productions —is
" Tcooghised-and known actually the "wtfrtd ’OVBrr
They manufacture all kinds of drugs, but their
specialty has ever been a superior article of
quinine. The other delicate and finer chemicals
did not receive as much attention as the coarser
tkluds which were produced in enormous quanti
ties..
Tho buildings contained large quantities of in- 1
flammable material, and every precaution was
used against fire. There was a complete system
of hose, engines and plugs In . the establishment
rcad.v for any emergency, and the works were
patrolled at all hours by a large force of private
watchmen., The boilers had been carefully ex
amined by experts only last week, and no danger
whatever was apprehended from them.
Kari.e's Sale ok Bk-tukes.— There was a large
assemblage of lovers of art In the Foyer of the
Academy last evening, when Mr. B. Scott. Jr.,
commenced a nubile sale of pictures recently col
lected by James S. Earle & Sons. The bidding

House Robbery.— The dwelling of Dr. Lewis
Hunter, No. 150 C Walnut street, was robbed yes
terday of diamonds valued at $BOO and $27 in
money. The back part of the house Is undergo
ing repairs, and several workmen are engaged
upon it. yesterday afternoon a young man
who represented himself as a workman, entered
the house and passed up stairs., He soon after
wards came down, and politely [bidding the ser
vant “good-bye,” departed. It was subsequently
ascertained that a trunk in one of the upper
rooms had been broken open, and the diamonds
and money abstracted. The residence of Chaa.
F. Koons, No. 1508, adjoining, was robbed of
some jewelry about the same time.
' Religious.— The Special Union Services now
being held in Concert Hall, on Sunday evenings,
under the auspices of the Young Hen’s Christian
Association, are very successful.. Interesting,
prayer meetings are held in the Rooms of the
Association alter the service in the Hall. The
attendance was- bo. large last Sunday, that two
meetings were held in the building. The interest
of these services is to be increased by the addi
tion of a fine choir, under the direction of Prof. •
Bower. Rev. Wm. P. Breed, D. D., will preach
to-morrow night Subject—“Theatres.”
Robbery in a Passenger Car —A one-armed
man, a conductor on the Spruce and Pine Street
Passenger Railway, laid upon the seat in his car,a
pocket-book containing SG7. The wallet was im
mediately seized by a man in the car, who got out
uud ran otf. Thu alarm was given, and luu tblet
was pursued and captured by Policeman Webb.
He gave his name as Charles Gallagher, and after
a hearing beforo Aid. Morrow was committed to
answer at Court.
Runaway and Accident.— A horse attached to
a sleigh ran away at Thirty-fourth and Bridge
streets last evening. The horse dashed into a
passenger train on the Pennsylvania Railroad
mid was killed, Tho sleigh was badly wrecked.
A Mr. Speakmnn, the occupant, was thrown out
aud was seriously injured.
A SMALL BOTTLE.
A little Paint, a bottle small,
Leads all to purchase more;
A taste at first creates the call,
Yea, opens wide the-door.
Five dollar bottles take the run
From small and tiny things,
The greatest good that Paint has done
Starts from these little springs.
Physicians may persuade you that medicines
n the stomach are Useful.; I know and can
X>rove that they always Injure the health, shorten
life, and are the greatest curse existing in the
nation. Common sense, natural law and instinct
alike condemn their use. What no beast will eat
or drink is'unflt for human. A brute knows
enough to wade into a pond of water and soak
its limbs or body when wounded, and assuage
heat and inflammation.
What causes bald heads? simply an unnatural
beat and constant inflammation of the head,
which dries up the scalp, depriving the hair of
nutrition'and moisture. It is of vital importance
that the head should be kept free of all unneces
sary heat. It can be done; headache never exist;
neuralgia unknown; the hair would not fall. If
yon cannot buy Pain Paint, apply cold
water freely to the head four or five
times each day, keep the feet warm at all
hazard; “An ounce of prevention is. worth
a pound of cure;” use Pain Paint' freely,
and not wait until a racking pain from a head full
of Inflammation seta you almost crazy; keep the
head constantly at its proper temperature, and if
your hair is thin or falling, it will grow and
thicken up. Heads that resemble bald eagles,
utterly destitute of hair, need not pick op any en
couragement, but they will be repaid by a hun
dred fold in general health, by keeping their
heads free from unnecessary heat and inflam
ation.
Directions.— Ppnr the paint in a dish, am}
with a large soft brush or sponge, or hand, or a
piece of cotton cloth, apply the paint freely over
the part or place where pain exists; soak and sop
the part affected with paint until pain is removed.
Iu obstinate cases, continue to soak the affected
part constantly for twenty minutes or an hour.
In cases of high fever, the head, and sometimes
the stomach too, should be persistently soaked
and kept wet until the fever is broken up. Pain
Paint will do it most effectually, and the large
bottles are absolutely necessary for the occasion.
1 ileers or sores Bhonld be well soaked, at Toast
twice a day, and several folds of cotton cloth
dipped in paint, kept wet over the part affected.
Sometimes it may be necessary to dilute the
paint with water and warm it, but cold applica
tions arc generally the best, except for very
young children or weakly infants. Wolcott's
Pain Paint leaves no smart; will not color or
stain. Price 25c.,'50c., $l, half pint $3, pint $5,
quart $B. Pain Paint reduces and subdues inflam
mation, heat and fever one hundred times
faster than ice. It is absolutely harmless. All
physical pain arises from inflammation, put out
tho fire and pain cannot exist, It is not only a
certain remedy for mankind, but for all the ani
mal creation. It is perfectly adapted, not only for
all pain, but it does permanently cure the worst
ulcers, piles, most malignant caucers, burns, fresh
.wounds, salt rheum, or breaking out onany part
of the body; removes pain in stemach, liver-,
lungs, kidneys, and all internal complaint& by a
thorough outward application of Pain Paint over
the part affected. Chronic aliments, rheu
matism, headache, neuralgia, stiff and enlarged
joints, fever sores, fits, etc., .require the largest
bottles, and the daily, and sometimes hourly, ap
plication of this Paint. Nature heals the most
inveterate ulcers if fever and heat are constantly
kept down. A little perseverance and patience
accomplish the most wonderful results. If you
suffer pain, use Pain Paint, or call at Dr. Wol
cott's Office, 170 Chatham square, and it will bo
removed without money or price; one gallon of
Paint is worth more than $l,OOO spent in drug
. hgi»g the system.
No drug stores in future will be supplied with
Pain Paint or Pain Annihilator except at retail
prices. Therefore, after druggists have disposed
of their present stock on hand, my connection
with tho trade virtually ends forever. Druggists
