THE NEW YEAR. Eighteen Hundred and Sixty-Nine comes in dismally enough, with rain and wind and storm. A dull, ugly, gloomy day, a very hanguiva's Friday of bad weather. The Old Year went out with the leaden clouss all ablaze with the wand ulow from the conill vntion on Broad street, and, but for the clang of the fire-bells and the rush of fire men tkiough the streets, there would have been no found to mark the death of the Old, and the birth of the New Year, save the rude dirge of the driving storm. • But to-day's storm, like all life's storms, will pass away; and as we stand on the threshold of the New Year, we look forward into the uncertain Future, with those bright anticipations which, even if they be never realized, are the best preparation for the duties and responsibilities of For the American people the new Year comes in full of hope. The dreary disap pointments of Andrew Johnson's misrule are at last drawing to , their close, and the worst ruler with which a free people ever cursed themselves, will ; go to his own place. The President, chosen by the spontaneous will of the nation, enters upon his office, and the Government, so long clogged, impeded, dis tracted by the factious obstinacy of one bad man, will. start forward once more, in har monious action and the year upon which we enter to-day will inaugurate a new era in the history of American Progress. The land will have peace, under the wise, firm, honest administration of General Grant. And with peace, will come prosperity. The vast industrial interests of the country will wake into new life. The public service will be purged of the army of corrupt camp followers who have sold themselves to John sonism, and who have been robbing the people in these past years, and destroying the public credit. Retrenchment, economy and fidelity to duty will take the place of the extravagance and dishonesty which charac terize so many of the bad appointments of a bad Executive. The United States, pros perous and peaceful at home, will be more highly honored than ever, abroad; and the world will gain, in this New Year, new realizations of the glorious destinies that await the Great Republic of this Western world. And while Hope offers so much to us as a nation, the opening of a New Year pre sents something of encouragement to all with whom the Old Year has gone out in de spondency and sadness. However dark and rough the trodden path of the Past looks to the traveler,as he halts for a moment upon the boundary that separates it from the Future, the path that lies before is at least unknOwn; and weary and foot-sore as he may be, he takes fresh courage, and goes forward to fight life's battle, and bear life's burdens, and do life's work, in the strength of the hope and faith that the New Year will bring him better days and brighter fortunes. And so we move` forward into the New Year- May it bring to our country the peace and 'prosperity for which we have waited in the past years. May it bring to all our friends happiness and substantial success in all the buil,nesti and domestic relations of their lives. Milk make dark things * brighter, and heavy things, more 'tolerable, and hard things easier, rind Surrowfulthings more glad, and so prove itself to to •all,, in deed and in truth, a Happy New'Year. We leave the Old Year behind : "Close up hie eyes; tie up his chin Step from the corpse, and let him in That standeth there alone, - And waiteth at the door: , There's a new foot on the floor. my friend, And a now face at the door, my friend, A new face at, the door." THE MAYORALTY To-day at noon, for the first time in eleven years, the Mayoralty of Philadelphia passes into the hands of the Democrats. Of the new incumbent, there is little to be said. Whether Mr. Fox manages to retain his office, or whether General Tyndale, who m we,believe to have been honestly elected, is awarded his seat, the new Mayor's official record, long or abort, is all before him to be made. Frankly, we have no confidence in the ability of a Democratic administration to be honest or efficient. It must needs repre sent a party which stands before the whole country stamped with corruption, fraud, violence and ignorance, aa the means and appliancei upon which it relies for power. While Mr. Fox ia probably no worse than other Democratic politicians, he has yet to prove that he is better. ale career is before him. If he disappoints us, it will be a very agreeable dissppomtment, and we shall be glad- to acknowledge it. If he shows any - superior capacity for city go vern _ meat; - any boldness in coping with the endea vors of his party to thrust bad men into pub lic office, and greedy fingers into the public p_uree; any of that cultivated dignity which the chief magistrate of the second city of he Union must necessarily possess, if . he would properly- grace his,office any capabilities for improvement and reform in any branch of the government which-he contrqls; ail -good and respectable citizens, hoWevei they may condemn his past record, and" however they may abhor the political principles which' he endorsee, will be ready to give him his full due. It still lies in the future to" determine what that due shall be. We are well satis fied that Mr. Fox has no moral or legal right to the seat he takes to-day, but if he shall show himself worthy to have such a seat, we shall not be-so ungenerous as to deny to him whatever of merit is his own. Of the out-going Mayor we can speak freely. 1_ For, three years, Mayor McMichael has administered the Chief Magistracy of Philadelphia, with rare grace, dignity and fidelity. Without instituting any invidious comparison, it is safe to say that no public man ' has ever filled the same 'office with more industrious and punctual attention to its duties, or with more general satisfaction to the community. As a working Mayor, Mr. McMichael has been a model of attention to the business of his office. His example of regularity and punctuality has impressed itself upon his subordinates everywhere, and be daily routine of affairs of this department of the municipal government has moved forward with a quiet, even order, that very few men can maintain in the presence of the constantly varying duties and engagements that press hourly upon the Mayor of Philadelphia. Mayor McMichael has striven hard to elevate the tone and in crease the efficiency of the police. If he has not accomplished all`that he has aimed at, it must be borne in mind that the powers of his office are much circumscribed, and that per fect success has been impossible. EN suc cessor goes into office, of course, under the same disadvantage, and will be entitled to' the same allowances. If he does nearly so well as Mayor McMichael has done, or car ries with him out of office anything like the same kindly feelings and good wishes which accompany the outgoing Mayor, he will be a man entitleffto many congratulations. A. SCIIERZER, Ea Arch etreet. It is currently reported that certain injudi cious persons of the aspiring sort, in Norris town, have discovered that the magnitude, enterprise and general importance of the borough are of 'such an amazing Character as to entitle it to hold high rank among the great cities of the earth. Actuated by an impulse born of thig idea, they have begun a movement by Which they hope to abolish the borough government, and obtain the rights, privileges, organization, and dignities of a municipality. Feeling, also, that a certain degree of humilifition—not to say untruth fulnesg—ls involved in the retention of the affix "town" to the name of the borough, it is proposed to slice off the degrading sylla ble; and give to the place the more imposing, magnificent and resonant name of "The City of Norris." The objections to this are several. Of course, it Norristown arrives at municipal importance, it deserves to be made a city, with all the honors thereto appertaining. Even if it obtains such stupendous greatness that Philadelphia shall be reduced to the position of a mere suburb, the heart of every Pennsyl vanian will be glad and sing with joy. But in the name of euphony, the map makers and common sense, we must protest against the proposed name. "The City of Norris" is a very uncouth and ugly title, with which we might bear patiently if it did not establish a bad precedent. But if we permit Norristown to do this thing we shall have all the small burgs, villas and towns in the vicinity of the city, following the example and attempting to force themselves into notice with high sound ng and swelling names, constructed upon the same principle. How absurd would be the effect if Jenkintown should should start afresh in the world as the City of Jenkin? Germantown as the City of German would be much less pleasant than it Is; and we cannot perceive that anything would be gained by calling Byberry the City of By. Wilmington is contented without being styled the City of Waffling, why then should Roxborough desire the title, City of Rex? Bridesburg,as the home of steady old married couples, has no claim to especial distinction as the City of Brides; any more than Coates ville has to be called the City of Coats, or Hatboro the City of Hats. No matter what degree of popularity may have been reached by the Grecian Band in Bustleton, it — would be outrageous to call it the City of Bustles; and we cannot perceive that the people -of DoylestoWn would be any happier if they lived in the City of Doyles, or the Phcenix villans if they had their local habitation with the name of the City of Phcenix. These are all bad enough ; but the future is full of even worse possibilities. If this change of nomenclature should assume the form of a re s ania, what guarantee have we that the people of Tulpehocken will not be seized with theNpadness, and in a moment of frenzy blast the hopes of their village with the name the Hocken of Tulpe ? If Norris town splits its name in half and resplices it, why may not Manayunk ? and think of the dreadful result of such a combination 1 Chel tenham, and Conshohocken', and Haverfqrd are all susceptible of absurd alteration ; and if they should attempt it nothing could re restrain Fox Chase from embodying the idea of its name in more elegant language ; and Rising Sun, from branching ont into a poeti cal phrase descriptive of the apparent ma tutinal motion of the great luminary. We think the ambitious people of Norris town had better be content with the name as it is. The results of a change, as we have shown, might be, extremely distressing. If it will comfort 'them, they can •reflect that }jos.: ton is not disturbed, even though its name plainly is a corruption of .13osstown; but this is better than the City of Mesas, however apt such a title might be. The Norristown agitators should remember; too, the awful fete of Pethingtell, which_npplied to Parlia ment to change its name to Great Pedling ton, but was so contemptuously treated as to have the prefix "Little" fastened to it. What if the Pennsylvania Legislature should refuse to confirm the name City of Norris, and call he borough, the village of Norris instead? This is a dreadful possiblility, and should be well considered.

TIMITEICYTit DAT% TROCERDINGB Ores AND Tenures—Judges Brewster and .Ludlow.—The case of George B. Twitchell, Jr., charged with the murder of Mrs. E. Mil, was re sumed this morning. For the first time since the telelieoletelenwl, Iherewereiempty benches Melte Court-roero, the day and the weather probably keeping people away. Mr. &Byrne resumed his argument, taking up the question .of the assets of Me prisoner at the time of the murder. The utmost of the money due by this man was $1,260, and there is no evi dence that he was being pressed for the payment; and against this the prisoner has shown in mate rials and labor that he had 66,600. There was therefore no motive for this crime. There were others who had an interest in the life estate of Mrs. Hill, but this prisoner had none. He knew that with Mrs. Hill's death , ceased the income which she derived from that estate. No argument against him could be drawn from the fact that he was in the house, as it was his residence, and be had the right to be there. Remember that at nine o'clock Mr. Altgelt, a re spectable and reputable man, saw two men leave that house. He has not been attacked, and no one has been brought here to say that he is not to be believed. He told the story to people the next day, and the Commonwealth had an op portunity to show that this was untrue, if they dared. Altgelt did not know the prisoner, and therefore his presence here is sot in his interest. The story is corroborated by the internal evi dence in the case. The woman was carried carefully from the sofa to the' window. Who could do it? Altgelt brings to you the strong aid muscular man who could raise thin woman in his arms and carry her over the chair to the window. That man went in, while his confederate stood in the yard and received the body as it came from the window. The robbery had been com mitted, and Dr. Zantzire!vr says that the bosom of the dress of Mrs. Hill Was partially open. The Commonwealth believed that there was a rob bery, for they searched the well for the proceeds. We show yen the men leaving the house rod handed. Do you think it this prisoner committed this murder, he would remain there with all the evidences of guilt, about him? Did he attempt to hide, this poker or wash these clothes P To be lieve that this man committed the murder is to believe the man an idiot. In addition to the pre sumption of this man's innocence, there is the additional element of this man's good distracter. Coming here with such an unblemished reputa tion raises the presumption of his innocence. 0! gentlemen of the jury, remember,you stand almost in the relation of God to the poor pris oner at the , bar; with power to make or unmake, to let live or destroy. And 0 gentlemen, be like unto Him in tempering your judgments with mercy, glorifying yourselves so far as it is allowable to your trail humanity to do so with His benignity and mercy. Remember that the day will come when the Arch angel's trump will call yip before another bar, where God himself will stens Judge, where you will be imploring mercy from the Great Judge. As you expect mercy upon that day of wrath and dread, when the heavens and the earth shall be rolled together as a scroll. The mercy you now show willlead for you before that Gracious Judge. Bu t, 0 remember, that if any considera tion but that of an inflexible' determination to give the prisoner at the bar the benefit of every doubt should enter your judgment: if you should be swayed one hairs breadth from giving him all the mercy his case demands. then that Gracious Judge will turn into , an in flexible Judge, and in the appalling voice which met the ear of. Cain, he will thunder out, Where is thy brother Abel? and not answering, -tie will say "depart from me," and in your sight the sen tinel at Heaven's portal will close its ponderoue gates upon you for. God's eternity. Wm. B. Mann followed:—After the lapse of many days ,he now had an opportunity to ad dress this jury who held the prisoner's life in their keeping. Counsel are responsible for the manner in which the facts of tee defence have beengiven to the jury and they believed they had done the best. He felt, however, that he might be addressing men, some of whom had made up their minds before they had heard all the evidence. Let me ask you to give this case a fair and honest examitiation, and give to every truth its honest weight, and if this is done you will open the prltion door and let this young man go free. lam not here to denounce circumstantial evidence, but to condemn a per version of circumstantial evidence. The inference drawn from circumstances must be Of a positive character and exclude, every hypothesis but the one. Mr, Mann cited a nut:Ober of instances of cir cumstantial evidence where the inference was not properly drawn, and where there had been im proper convictions. The jury must think of every fact, and whether there is any probability ' that the crime could be committed in no other way. If you convict a man upon testimony not satisfactory you do more to do away with courts and jury. The murder at Tenth and Pine, strange and foul as it was, would but be as strange and foul as the conviction of this man, for that would bo murder in this very court. Laws are made for the protection of society, and therefore it is said I' that it is better that nine guilty men should es cape than that one innocent man should be con victed.

Or, that being alarnled bytberingging he,took off Portion clips clothing, replaced tt,and then went to the door. , -• ' • • • The ComMonwealth may have another theory' that this was'a quarrel between the prisonerand Mrs. Hill, and that the' poker was used in the heat of passion. That wontd-not be a contrived murder. If this had been a premeditated murder by this prisoner, were there not a thousand ways to get rid of her instead of beating her, head -and throwing her out the , window, against:. a white surface, whore it would be seen as it passed down. Again, if this was continued, why should he wait until 9 o'clock, when the servant would be coming beano, when he could have done it at 6or 7 o'clock? All this proves that Twitcheli had nothing to do with it. When the people were aroused by the ringing of the bell, the prisoner naturally waited, expecting it to be answered by. Mrs. Hill. He then dressed himself partially, and went down; ' but 'Mrs. Twichell was aroused by the scream of her hus band, and she comes down in her night-elothes, and, excited, gives the directims to go for the doctors, and following the girl to the door, di reeled her to pull the-bell hard. Is that calm ? The Commonwealth 'alleges ;a motive. He did it, they say, tei get this house. The evidence Ls that he had it, and had as much use of it as he wanted. The title was in Camilla, and if she wished to wrong her mother, she could have en cumbered the property. , Where as the convey ancer who says there , was an application for a loan upon a mortgage? And yet If they wanted to do so,they could have raised 410,000, and Mrs. Hill would never know it. The. killing of Mrs. Hill does not change the title. Oa the contrary, it is the case of a man doin_ g something that des troyed all his prospects. Mrs. Hill went to Mr. Gilbert and Mr; Henderson;:hat - whaushe said is not before this jilt"; Hit had been propertor the jury to hear 'it, the• testimony would have been admitted. As it is, not before the jury, no man in the box km the right to dispose of. a man's life by imagining what Mrs. Hill said to Mr: , Gilbert or Mx. Henderson. Something has been said about Twitchell want ing this deed made in his name. Mrs. Hill said she bought It for her "chil dren," and naturally it would be concluded that it should be In the man's name ; but when, it was ascertained that it could be in the wife's name,' then he returned and gave that, direction. The trouble there was betweett these people grew out of Mrs. Twitchell's 'will. Mr. Gilbert thowed it to Mrs. Hill, and then for the first time she realized that her daughter had made provision for her husband and not for her mother, and therefore she was uneasy lest her daughter died first and the husband would secure the property.' This was the only trouble, but it was settled, and there would have been none whatever if meddlesome people had not stepped in. It is said this was "a fast young man;" that he kept horses and a carriage. Bat he kept the-car riage for his mother-in-law, and she paid for it. Mr. Twitchell had no expenses, for Mrs. Hill provided all the funds, and DeargeTwitchell had no occasion. to expend anything. Does he go s bout carousing—no! •No ! He rides about with that staid old gentleman, Joseph Gilbert, and when ho got tired of riding, with him be rode with his wife, and was at home at nights. That's the fast - man The CoMmonwealth is utterly unable to trade any extravagance to this prisoner. If he had rneded money, be could have sold the machinery in Camden and gone to live at Mrs. 11111's,-with out expense. There were no suits against him. Besides, he is a young man, and would a young man sell his soul to the devil for the sake of a boom? Bo much for motive. When the people first entered they saw.what was• evidence against him. They say he was cold. But it was a cold night, and he was only partially dressed. His explanation 'for that night is important. He heard her about, and, knowing her habit of moving about at night, he gave no heed. It was one of the peculiarities of the old lady that she was afraid of gas bill& and she put deli - Pees on it. He sass that it is his Impression that he heard_Mrs. Hill pass his door for her room - and In doing so she must have closed the darn leaving the dogs behind . tie says that after she passed his door he went to bed and was aroused by the violent rigging of the bell. and they wondered what was the reason Mrs. Hill did not answer the ring. Mrs. Twitched wanted to go, but Mr. Twitchell went, putting on his boots without otockinge, and. he said to Sarah, "Where is mother r"—and he started op stairs to look for her, the last place he saw her: when the girl discerned her, he was called. and naturally he was stunned, for the face was downward, and when he raised it and recognized ft, he d'opped it, exclaiming, - My God! will not somebody help me to carry her in"' He bent over her and raised her, carried her in bathed her head and flues hie arms about wildly. Bat he didn't search the house! No, he clung to her, and while there was hope of life, he bathed that. head. begging , for doctors. When he firet went down him coat was opened, but af terwards. getting cold. he buttoned It up; and after that it wee a dream from which he expected to wake. When asked about the blood noon his clothea he ally@ be supposed he got it on carrying in the body. "Oh nO. " Bap the o ffi cer, "'you did not have the shirt on!" Thep ho replica. "I don't know —there le a fatality about it— I can'ti understand it" lie refugee conned. "Gen counsel tell ye how I got the blood on my shirt; can conneel tall me how spy mother was n.urdered?" Next we have the poker. Disregarding the truth the Commonwealth lutist that this was instrumental. It it btu, been need It would be sprinkled Instead of this It le bloody at the end to the extent It lay in the pool in the yard. and by an examination of it you will see the marks near the knob of a bloody hand.and no doubt those who committed the murder Seined it la the kitchen and placed it beneath her head in the yard be• fore they escaped. The murderers took away their instrumento and put George Twi chell'e poker lb the blood. Would George Twitchell put it there himeelf ? It is impossible that this poker could have inflicted there wounds without showing some indications of it. Continued in the Fourth Edition. wATCIRES, JEWELRY, Ace.

Joseph Allison, President Judge of the Court of Common Pleas. Willtam S. Stokley ' President of Select Coun cil, then introduced Hon. Daniel M. Fox. who delivered the following IN AUG UZLAL ADDRESS. Gen tlemen of the Select and Common Council: Having taken the oath of office I deemit due to you and to my fellow-citizens that I should avail myself of this occasion to state some of the features which I intend shall mark my ad ministration. Being myself determined to devote , . all my ability and energy trythe faithful discharge of the duties of the Mayoralty, I shall expect from every person occupying official position un der me, a rigid and faithful discharge of the du ties of their respective' positions. Crime seems to be on the increase, and to be assuming fright-, fed proportions, the Citizen has a right to look to a well-organized and efficient police for the safety of his person and protection of his prop erty. To ensure this shall be tiny object in the selection and - government of the police force. Strict obedience to orders, rigid sobriety, a polite and courteous deportment and unremitting vigilance in the discharge of duty, shall be required by me from every one holding pollee appoint ment. If any officer fail in either of these requirements, he will immediately give place to a better man. The pertee of the city shall be pre served; and, as far as In me lies, every citizen shall be made to feel that he is living in a cons omit.) , where life and property are 'secure. The financial condition of'the city shall receive my careful consideration. Our debt is large,and with the public improvements already projected, it Is likely to be greatly increased. The interest on this debt,with the current expenditures of the city government, makes such an aggregate that Councils have been deterred on more than one occasion from levying a sufficient tax to meet the outlay. Deficiencies are of yearly occurrence, and the authorities have had recourse to the suicidal policy of funding these deficiencies. This state of things, so contrary to all our ideas of good government, ought not to continue. Our current yearly ex penditures of all kinds should be met by a suffi cient yearly income, and to do this the city government must be administered on the strictest principles of retrenchment and economy. To effect these objects shall be my coustant aim, and when the tax payer knows that the money collected from him is wisely and judiciously expended, and for, pur poses beneficial to our great city and conducive to its welfare, his contribution will be more cheerfully paid. As a matter of justice to those who hive ad ministered the municipal affairs, as well as to those elected to succeed them, I would suggest that a careful examination of the financial condi tion of the city should be at once directed by Councils. , Whatever measures will promote the various manufacturing, commercial and other interests of our city shall receive my cordial Support; Ive ill unite with Councils in all judielois measures for opening new thoroughfares, in grading and paving those already opened, and in securing for the inhabitants of the now dis tricts an abundant supply of gas and water. In this way the building interests of our city will be properly fostered and our rapidly increasing population have an ample supply of comfortable homes. The cleansing of the streets 'of our city is a matter of the deepest consideragen, fora upon it may depend the health of our citizens, and there is no object to 'which the taZ-payer more wil lingly contributes. The present akrangement, it Is obvious to every ono, falls far short of the public necessities; and to whatever cause this !allure may be owing, whether to defects of eye tem, or to the inefficiency of• those who have un &Tinker) the contract, it Is" necessary that a remedy shall be promptly applied, , aud that this work, so indispensable to thehealttOd comfort of our people, shall bo thoroughly Performed. With you, gentlemen of the &lee& and Com mon Councils, it Is my desire to cultivate the most,kindly relations. We are mutually charged with great and important duties, upon the per formance of which will materially depend the ICI-`p~ ~' SI.IPRIA-P vuhlic welfare., Let us,soWprk ,together m • reecilVe sphered :1104440 peopler PC'eutlidig" , phis may balreVo:odetutioll tniegrat,thOlri ffelcar dons, and so that when`vie retire . from our - re-' spectivo • , positions we..`" • May:: led, that ' have, ' .'beripele.ntiotully,', l .dlacharged our ' treats. , I,Haylpg„ ,adverted " to matters of paramount cousideratidn; I Shall , not _attempt, at this titne;to call your attention to `particular objects of , municipal legfidatiod. It is made the duty:of theldayOr to ; , communicate to Councils, from flute to time, Such matters' as he may deem of value , for: their consideration, and this duty I will, at all times,. cheerfully perform. And now, humbly looking to an All-wise Pro vidence tor Hir aid and fellow-citizens feeling deeply grateful to my fello-citizons for the high trust they have reposed in me, :I will only further add that I shall - faithfully devote myself, daring my term of office, to the public•service, with the hope that I will have the aid and , moral support. of every good citizen, irrespective of party differ epee, in making my administration beneficial to ,our beloved city. • At the conclusion the members'of Select and Common Council advanced and congratulated his Honor Mayor Fox. A DESTRUCTIVE 'FIRE Large Forwarding House Burned Great 1081 of Whhay, Graft' and Produce Last night, abont twenty minnteepaat eleven a fire broke out in the basement of the largo for warding house, located at the southeast cornerof Brood amd Cherry streets. - The flames intrned stubbornly , at first,. but •as there was a dense smoke caused by the burning of tar which was stored in that' portion of the premises, the firemen were not able to get pro perly to work. In the • meantime the rim was working - its way through the building, `arid within an hour the whole structure was involved in flames. The building belongs to the `Philwielphia, and ' Reading Railroad Company, and was erected originally for a depot. it was the first depot in . the city which the Company had after com mencing operations, end was occupied for that purpose for many• years. It was one of the moat substantial buildings in the country. It`was three, stories in height, and was built of brick, with granite tiinin3ings for the windows and doorway. The first story on Broad street was in Imitation of granite: The structure occupied a SpaCe , of 116 feet on Broad street and,l2B feet on Cherry street. It originally cost $O,OOO,- but at the present time,was valued at 150,000. The Read ing Railroad Company has an insurance fund, which course, will cover the loss. The - building was leased from the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company by JaMes R. Moorhead & Co., commission .mercbants; who occupied a portion, and sub-let the remainder to other parties. The tenants were Elting & Co., J. P. Perot & Bra; M. Gelsebnan, Jr., & Co., D. Shelmire & Co., Steen & Cookman. and A. J. Andrews. General Bodine, the Flour Inspector, also occupied an office in the structure. These parties occupied the Broad street portions of the first - and second — stories, and succeeded In saving nil their books and valuable papers. The structure was filled with flour, wheat, oats, apples, feed and, other produce. In the cellar there were 'oats, wheat, feed, and barrels and kegs of tar. The first floor was mainly tilled with flour and feed, the second floor with feed and hops, and the third floor, with whisky. The stock in the building. comprised 1,000 bar rels of whisky, 1,500 barrels ofj flour, 500 tons of feed, 5,000 bushels of oats, 1,000-bushels of wheat, 250 bales of hops, and different lots of cloyerseed, fruit and other produce. This pro perty belonged to the occupants on their own account or was on consignment. The structure was completely gutted, and all the contents were destroyed. The losses and insurances are as follows: James R. Moorhead & Co., loss 115;000. In sured for 120.000. Ettlng A:: Co. estimate their loseat $BO,OOO, which is nearly covered by insurance. The loss of J. P. Perot & Bro. was not ascer tained. M. Geistlman, Jr.. & Co., estimate their loss at $12,000, upon which there is an insurance of $lO,OOO. D. Shelmire & Co. loss about $5,000, which is nearly covered by insurance. The loss of Steen & Cookman is estimated at $3,000; Insurance, $2,500 in the Home, of.. New York. The loss of A. J. Andrews is $B,OOO, and the in surance $6,000. . . _. The total loss on stock'is estimated at $200,000, to which is to be added the loss on building, $5O,- 000. The fire burned furiously for several hours and the entire city was illuminated. Miles from the scene of conflagration a newspaper could have been very easily read by any person stand ing in the streets. The burning whisky added to the intensity of the heat, and then the flames shot high up into the air and the peigbborhood was showered with millions of sparks. The scene was both grand and terrific. Robert Steel owned the whisky. The loss is about S35;000, and is fully insured. ~The Insurance Companies which have met with the heaviest losses are: Royal $20,000 Liverpool and London 15,000 North America, of Philadelphia 15.000 North British 15,000 The balance of the insurance is divided into small amounts among New York and New Eng land companies. Immediately in the rear of the building was a row of houses on a court. These wore in danger for some time, but fortunately the wind drove the flames westward. The occupants, however, moved their furniture and effects into the street. The_petml_g had generally retired for the night when the fire broke out, and the excitement and alarm at being roused by such a summons may be left to the imagination. Nos. 111 and 113 Broad street. A short distance south' of the destroyed building stands a large three-story brick structure, known as the Colum bia House, owned by John Hensler. This build ing woe in great danger for some time and the rear stingers were greatly blistered by the heat. The firemen, however, by the most strenuous exertions succeeded in saving the building. Some damage was done by water and the loss is insured in the Fire Association. The dwellings on Arch street were considered in imminent danger at one time, but they es caped injury, mainly through the exertions of the firemen In this connection we may state that the Washington Fire Company proceeded to the plug In Arch street,below Broad, when it was found that the plug was obstructed by an im mense slab of marble. After the firemen worked at it for half an hour, they so far removed it that their suction hose could be attached, but both lengths of the suction had to be used. One por tion lying across this slab was completely- cut through in about ten minutes by the friction of the working of the engine, making it necessary for the company to go out of service. This com pany Was ordered to this plug especially to pro tect the back part of the Arch street residences, and, through the negligence of somebody ob structing this plug, was compelled to go else where, and leave this valuable property unpro tected. The origin of the fire is a mystery, but up to the present time is attributed to design. The flames were first discovered at the eastern end of the basement on Cherry street, where a lot of tar was stored, and then the building is said to have been securely locked. The occupants generally left last evening between 4 and 6 o'clock, and the Superintendent, warehouseman and two , dray men were Set upon the premises, and they left about .7 o'clock. As stated above, the building destroyed was nerd for several 'ears by the Philadelphia and Reidlog Railroad. Company as a Depot. After wards it was used as &forwarding house, until at the outbreak of the war it was leased by the United States Government and, occupied as an army hospital. It had especial advantages for this service, being considered by many surgeons superior to some of the buildings erected pressly for that purpose. After serving its term of usefulness as an hospital it was again finned over to the merchant service. „ Thu litAvort's CLERIL-Mr. Charles L.
