The most serious conflagration known in Phil.
adciphia for a long Lima neetirred this morning,
and at the hour of writing this,though the spread
of the rain is checked, the firemen are still at
work endeavoring to extinguish the flames.
The block of three marble stores at the South
west corner of Ninth;and Chestnut atreets, run
ning through , to Sanitati street, was the hand
somest of its kind in the city, and among the
costliest. The ccirner "store was occupied by
Messrs. Howell (1‘ Brothers, manufacturers and
dealers In, paper-hangings. The second, or mid
dle one,cwae occupied by James E. Caldwell &
Co., ,jewellers. The third ono was oc -
envied by Messrs. J. F. & E. B. Orne
dealers in carpets. The Chestnut street
frbiats were of pure white marble,
and: of Washita architecture. The Ninth street
and Saloom area fronts were of pressed brick,
with trimmings , of white marble and granite. Tao
stores: were erected about eight years ago, by the
Waco' Edmund Bard, on the site of the former
zianeton , of the Bud family. Howell & Bro. and
the Messrs,. Orne have occupied these stores elver
since. The ',middle store, formerly occupied by
J..M. Raleigh, was leased by Messrs. J. E. Cald
well & Co. in 1867, and altered to suit their pur
poses. They moved into it a little less than a
year ago, having opened there on the second of
March, 1868
• ORIGIN OF THE FIRM
A little -before one o'clock this morning fire
was discovered coming from the rear of Oald-
WOrti store, ou Sanitom street, and it is said that
an explosion was heard about the same time.
In an amazingly short time the flames spread
through the interior of the beautiful establish
ment, Invading the art gallery in the second story
and filling all the space with dense volumes of
smoke.
BLx men, clerks of the store, slept in it. These
were Frederick A. Davis, cashier, J. Gedney
King James F. Andrews, James F. Polk, Ed
ward Hagan, and Charles Hardy. Two of these,
it is feared, perished,and the rest are more or less
Injured. In another paragraph them Will be in
formation eoncgrning all.
SPREAD OFTHE FIRE.
The firemen were early on the ground, but
there was difficulty in getting water into the in
terior. The wind was blowing from the south
west, and Howell's store WAS soon on fire, while
volumes of smoke and quantities of burning tim
ber were carried over to the Continental Hotel,
Giratd House and other establlsbmunts on Chest
nuristreet, creating great consternation. Orne'e
carpet store was also soon ignited, and in a
couple of hens all three of the large establish
ments appeared to be doomed.
SCENES IF THE CHEAT HOTELS.
The coneternation in the Continental and Gi
rard became general, all the boarders, servants
and others being aroused and prepared for hasty
departute. Madame Parepa Rosa, who had
rooms on Ninth street, in the Continental, and
the other : members of her troupe, removed to
other quarters, and boarders and servants with:
trunks and bundles were ready to leave also.'
Fortunately there was no real occasion for this,
smite fire has been kept within the limits of the
Third block of stores.
The heat of the blazing interior soon told upon
the beautiful ,white marble front of Caldwell's
store, and tt.‘e cornice and upptt stories cracked,
crumbled and fell in with heavy crashes. The
fronts of the others are not so much hart, and
the outer walls on Ninth and Salmom streets and
to the westward,which were very thick and solid,
appear to be as sound as ever.
CALDWELL'S STORE.
The store of J. E. Caldwell & Co. is completely
destroyed. The value of their stock is estimated
at about $850,000. Of this, about one half, con
sisting of diamonds, watches, etc., was deposited
every evening in tire-proof safes, and it is hoped
that these will all be found in good order, or at
least not materially damaged..
DESCDILPT/01 4 1 OF CALDWELL'S STORE.
On Monday, March 2, 1868, when the new
store of J. E. Caldwell & Co. was opened to the
ptiblic, a description of its interior appeared in
the BULLhTIN, from which we take the fol
lowing
"The.style of the fixtures and ornaments is
that which prevailed in the days of Loa's XIV.,
aed everything has been brought into keeping
with this antique design. The edifice is four
stories in height, with a front of thirty-three feet
and a festal depth of two hundred and thirty-five
feet.. .On entering, the visitor finds himself within
anelegantly-ew bellishe.d department, to be devoted
to the sale of general jewelry. This has a depth
of one hundred and ten feet, being separated
from the next departruent by what is technically
termed a 'screen,' consisting of a heavily-cor
niced arch, supported by pilasters and columns,
in imitation of the beautiful Sienna marble, and
resting upon pedestals of delicately blue-veined
white' marble. These latter are relieved by
genuine 'Sienna Marble panels, which are in tine
contrail, with the general surroundings.
"Ranged on either side of this department are
finely polished, black walnut jewelry cases, which
atheism the beauty 01 the room by their contrast
With the elegantly frescoed walls and ceiling.
The Counters are of blue-veined marble, and bear
upon their tops large show-cases. Besides these
receptacles for jewelry, there extends through
the.centre a series of finely polished tables, to be
used for the same purpose. This apartment is
brilliantly lighted by candelabra and brackets,
having an aggregate number of 114 jets. The
gas fixtures throughout are from the establish
ment of Cornelius"& Baker, and, as a matter of
course, they are elegant arid effective. -----
" The second apartment 18 the 'silver-room,'
which has a depth of sixty feet, and is furnished
in a style s . milar to that of the apartment above
mentioned, having, however, a double cornice;
and it is lighted by a large and elegantly-formed
chandelier, and brackets, consisting in all of 44
jets. In the rearof this is the ' btonze ' depart
ment, wherein will be constantly kept a valuable
array of bronze ornaments of every conceivable
kind. This room is thirty feet square, and it has
beyond it a space divided off into offices, count
ing and show-rooms, &c. The walls and ceilings
of all these apartments aro frescoed in the most
tasteful and beautiful manner of any we have ever
seen ; and the neutral tints and golden bands pre
fe-nt from the main door a charming prospect.
The floor, too, is entirely new, being of tesselated
marble. The gallery of the building, or, prdperly
epeaking, the second story, will be used for the
display of paietings."
The stock of goods in Caldwell's store, con
slating of jewelry, silver and plated ware, clocks,
broezes, pictures and fancy articles of every va
riety,wee one of the MOet beautiful ever collected
in America. Tie ir holiday sales bad reduced the
winter's stock very much, but the store still
seemed to the visitor to be filled with beautiful
things.,

ORIGIN OF THE FIRE.
The origin of the fire is involved in mystery,
but is being investigated. At about half-past
twelve o'clock the neighborhood was perfectly
quiet, and very few people were in the street.
Suddenly a loud hissing sound was heard, and in
a few momenta was followed by four or five
slight reports. Then there was a grand crash
and the explosion shook the sidewalks. The
force of the explosion was so great that the rear
door of Howell & Bros' store was blown off
and the ceiling . at the rear of the store
of the Messrs. Orne was ereaUy injured. The
last report was followed by the crashing of glass.
and then flames burst from the rear of the b.isti-
meat of Caldwell's building, where a Harrison
boiler of ten-horse power and the heating appir
rains were located. As the Harrison boiler is
considered the safest of all steam generators, and
wee, io this case run at very low pr‘asure, it is
difficult to explain bow the explosion could have
procuded from that source.
Lest night six men whose names are given
above, employed in the establishment, were
asleep in the stole of Messrs. Caldwell (is Um
All were on the first floor—some being front and
others‘huek. It has always been usual for some
of the clerks to remain In the building all night
to act as watchmen.
Boon after the explosions wore heard and the
flames broke out, four of the young men Messrs.
Davis, Hardy, King and Andrews made their
appearance at the front sicuud-story window,got
oat upon the ledge and worked their way along
to the front of Orne's store. They then called
for help, and the Washington Hose Comp Any,
which bad got upoa the ground, quickly put up
a ladder, and the men were taken down. All
wire more or less injured. Messrs. Davis
and Hardy were taken to the Continental
Hotel. Mr. King was taken to the Mark.or
House. Mr. Andrews Whs taken to the Girard
House, and after having his tniuriee attended to
by Dr. Morehouse, was removed to the Penusyl
vanla Hospital by Fire Marshal Blackburn and
others. Both feet are burned and be
has inhaled smoke. His injuries are
serious, but are not considered fatal. Messrs.
Hagan and Poulk have not been heard of. They
got separated from the others as they were mak
ing their way to the staircase leading to the
upper part of the building. Mr.
Andrews Bays that when he last saw
Hagan he bad fallen down near the front door.
Both men are supposed to have perished. Hagan
was from Providence, R. 1., and had been In the
employ of the firm between two and three years.
Mr. Poulk was from Winchester, Va., and had
been connected with the establishment about a
3 ear. Neither was married.
THE IetIiEMEN
Were upon the ground in large numbers, soon
after the alarm was given,and they went to work
in the most energetic manner to combat the
flames. All attention was directed to Caldwell's
store, and it was thought that the fire would be
confined tO that structure. The fbunes,however,
worked along the joists into the third story of
the store of Howell & Bros., and spread rapidly
among the paper. Ladders were at once
put up and efforts were made to ex
tinguish the flames. The fire burned fiercely and
burst out of the windows with great fury. It
was soon apparent that this building could not
be saved, and as it was found that the heavy
stock In the upper stories might fall through and
Injure the flremen,they were withdraWn by Chief-
Engineer Downey.
The fuel carried by the steam-engine comuaniee
was exhausted in the long service, and Messrs.
Turner & Bro., Earle & Son, J. W. Scott & Um,
Hcnier,.Colladay & Co , furnished wood until
their stock of that material gave out, and every
assistance possible was rendered by the mer
chants and others In the neighborhood. The tiro
was got pretty welt-u7 - - - ntrol soon after day
light, and many of the companies were dismissed.
In Howell's store, however, the paper continued
to burn, and several of the companies are still in
ECTVICO ti.)l , the present writing.
