EXTENSIVE CONFL&GRATION
Pennsylvania Steam Sugar Refinery
in Ruins.
OTHER PROPERTIES DAMAGED
THE LOSSES AND INSURANCES
Last evening, about a quarter before seven
o'ClOck,the extensive building - at - the - northeast
corner of Crowiland Race streets, Sixth Ward,
known as the Pennsylvania Steam Sugar Re
finery, and the property of Newhall, Rorie th
Co., was discovered to be on fire. The re
finery was purchased by the firm about 15
years ago,'after it had been used for thirty-five
years in the same business. The buildings
• have - lately . 'been •enlarged and- improved.
- They extended 150 feet on Race street and 190
feet on Crown street. The Race street front
was six stories in height, while the north
ern half of 'Crown street front was seven
stories, and ran back to the height of eight
stories. The walls were of brick, and towered
above all the other structures in the vicinity.
This large building was stored to iteTtillest
parity 'with raw sugar, and the refined article
ready for shipment. Operations were con
firmed night and day, one hundred and Sixty
men working throughout the day, and thirty
at •might. While: these thirty were in thy
building last eVettiggi - alid scattered inthe va
rious stories, the alarm was sounded that it
was on fire, and directly out of the southeast
ern windows, on the Race street front, dense
volumes of smoke burst. The excitement
at once became very great, and the firemen
were soon moved, but before they reached the
.ground, and _ere thehwerimaell Pm Upper_
stories bad gained the rower 'Mier, - the Itaee
.street front was all on flre,and the flames were
belching out of the windows with an appalling
ar _ an d_ ze s ski tearang_acroms the street
scorching the buildings opposite.
The fire originated in the boiler-room on the
ground floor, fronting on Race street, and,it is
stated by a workman, was caused by the flames
being forced out of the doors of the fire
.chamber by a sudden draftand communicating
with a lot of shavings. The fire spread to the
packing-room on the same floor, and darted
throughout the entire structure with great
rapidity, fed as the flames were by the stuck
of sugar, amounting to some two- thousand
_hogsheads,_ stored on the first floor, both ou
the Race and Crown street portions. The
third and fourth floors were used fur the
storage of the moulds necessary in the manu
facture of relined ,sugar, and the fifth
fiber for purifying purposes. In a
half hour after the first discovery
of the flames the entire structure was in
volved. The flames were in every part of it,
leaping through every window, the entire
seven stories up, and rising hundreds of feet
above the walls, throWinga lurid glare over
the squares of dwellings for a great distance
on every side. The heat was intense,
and it was almost imnossible to approach
within fifty feet of the burning building. The
- _ - firemen - drew their hose upon - the roofs of the -
buildings on the south side of Race street, and
from these elevated positions directed stream;
into the caldron of flame before. While they
ate to be - credited with -great --courage -and -
labor, the efforts of the firemen were all fun le
in attempting to extinguish the flames in the
refinery. Despite all the water thrown upon
it, the fire did not end until everything in
flammable was destroyed, the walls in ruins,
and the refinery a smoking mass of debris.
At hall-past eight o'clock, the Race street
wall, which had been warped two feet out of
plumb by the intense heat, felt with a terrible
crash. A large number of firemen were hurl
by falling bricks, but fortunately the precau
tion having been taken to keep the street clear,
no one was buried beneath the ruins. Semi
after, the northern half of. the Crown street
wall, (seven stories iu height,) fell outward,
and as there were a number of men in this
vicinity, a rumor fast spread that they had been
buried beneath the crushed wall, but an in
vestigation proved this report without founda
tion. Thou the partition walls successively went
down, with a dull, thundering noise, forcing
into the - air clouds of sparks, which forcing
tell in
showers on neighboring roofs, startling the
people beneath with the horrifying thought
that they were to be burned out. A portion of
the northern wall fell out upon the roots of a
number of small dwellings beneath. Upon the
top of a building about thirty feet from chi,
wall, were a number of the Philadelphia
Company's members. A number of them were
injured, while two of them are cot expect-
to live. The M ayor ordered the streets t
roped off, so that no one might he injure'' I

Doings of the Firemen.
We have received the following communi
cation;
PRILADELPHIA, Tuesday, July :Ai, 1870.—T0
Me Editor of the Evening Bulletin: DEAR SIR:
At the tire of the Sugar House, on Race and
Crown streets, this evening,.the , WashingyorA
fire engine equipped members cut up and
used for fuel, under their engine, some two
thousand feet of selected oak and other tim
ber I had placed in front of 166 North Fifth
street, for building uses.
- I have suffered a number of times to the ex
tent of SW at a time, and feel that awrong is
committed in this Way that bears heavily on
builders, that the attention of the officers of
the Fire Department should at least 'endeavor
toprevent.
Will you call attention to this in your arti
cles favoring a Paid Fire Department, and
much oblige yours, &c., JOHN CRUMP.
THE FIRE LAST Thoirr.—The obliteration
of large establishments like the Mill of John
Dearie and the sugar - refinery of - Newhall;
Bone & Co. is something to be set down not
only as a loss to the people by whom the vari
ous manufactures are carried on, but as an in
direct, loss to the entire community. The an
nihilation of any considerable_quantity of
merchandise; by height ening 'tie'l.Value of
what remains in market, increases its price to
every consumer. Operatives are deprived of
employment, while hundreds of stockholders
ininsurance companies are made to feel the
etlectS of the disaster in their diminished re
ceipts in the shape of dividends.
Within twelve hours more than a million
wortlirof iiropertyhas'been wiped 7 onr -
of existence by the demon fire. The ruins of
the sugar warehouse are being visited to-day,
vithstandin the extreme heat of the sun.

by a. rwiltitude of people. A glance_ at the
walls of this mammoth structure tells of the
destructiveness of the flames,
and of the diffi
culty when they once gain , headway of
cfr
eumscribingtheir natural Course. Througl.
the wall of the sugar refinery the falling of
one of the big drums used in the production or
sugar has punched a gaping hole as cleanly as
a stick would punch allele through a paper
kite. Sullenly and slowly, as if the element
were sated with its vengeance, trailing ban
ners of smoke are still rising above the ruin-.
Through the sashless windows appeark the
melancholy spectacle of balf-burned timber,.
great panS crusheq, shapeless es so many ha'
tered pots, great piles of brick. and elaborate
and costly machinery now mingled with other
debris in a state of chaos.
The condition of the interior of Altemus &-
Co.'s bindery and deposit room presents a-dis
couraging spectacle. The loss to stock is prin
cipally by water."- That instead of bang par
tial the loss isn't total,is because of the prompt
and sagaciously-directed'elforb; of Chief Mc-
Cusker and his insurance patrol. Tha mischief
attending such fires is the injury that they in
flict upon regular trade. Merchandise Smoked
or wetted, even though triflingly, finds its way
to the auction TOOll3. Precisely to the extent
of its quantity it inflicts injury upon regular
trade. In the pi esent case, ihe stock of Al
tenis & - Co:is more-oriess-wetted. It there
fore cannot be put into the market in the regu
lar way.
To restore to its former condition this cica
trix at Fourth and Race streets must necessa
rily consume considerable time. To procure
extensive machinery is the work of long la
bor—often a longer time than to erect a build
ing to receive it. The refinery , we presume,
e ill be re-erected as soon as possible. Candor
compels us to say that a hope is expressed by
everybody in the vicinity that it will be built
elsewhere, and that its present site will be de
voted to other purposes.
By few who saw the burning of last night,
we think, will the occasion be soon forgotten.
A more extensive or expensive piece of pyro
technics is not often seen. The only one ex
ceeding it in beauty, though not in size, was
the result of the burning of French & Rich
ards' drug house at Tenth and Market streets.
Übe burning of the sugar house, as a spectacle,
was fearfully beautiful. Against the back
ground of the sky it traced out in lines of
fiery gold, for squares around, every spire and
pinnacle within its reach. High above it,
through the smoke that lowered over all, like
so inati tropical fire flies danced a myriad of
sparks held upward in thej rarefied atmo
sphere until they paled and fell. The roof be
fore it sank in was a continuous array of
flaming pennons, and when the grand crash
came it seemed as if Polyphemus were present
in person, and was stirring up again the fiery
forges of tEtna. The police found eifficult,y
in keelfing back the crowds;
at this moment a
cordon of them is necessary to limit the ad
vance of the curious multitude.
Eleven hundred thousand dollars have been
wiprd out of existence within half a day, lik.•

Dow A 116ItilERY WASN'T- COMMITTED.—
Lart evening , Lieut. Leech; of the Sixteenth
District Police, was notified that Silver ware
valued at several' hundred,
.dollars, bad been
stolen from a house•at the southeast corner of.
Thirty-ninth and Chestnut streets. As an in
ventory of the atiden - articles - was being made,
the silver ware, nicely packed up, was found
concealed under a•bush in the yard. It was
supposed that the thieves would return during
the night for• the plunder, and a close - watch
was kept, but nobody turned up.
TAPPING A TILIT.-L-j Win Kidd, aged 16 years,
was arrested yesterday upon. the charge of
having stolen $2O from the money-drawer of
a trimming store on Haverford street, above
Forty-finst. Ho was taketi liefore Alderman
Randall, and was committed for a further
hearing.
ACCIDENT.—Frank Myers, driver of the
Assistance Fire Company, while pushing on
the back locker of the Company's hose car
riage last evening, was badly injured by the
tongue of the William Penn Hose carriage
striking him. He was taken to his home, at
Ninth and Brown streets.
CAUGHT IN TAN ACT.—G eo. Smith, colored,
was caught in the act of robbing the money
drawer of a tavern on Amber street, above
ork, yesterday afternoon. He only succeeded
in getting eight cents. Alderman 'Heins com
mitted him in default of $5OO bail.
ANOTHER AOHIEVEMENT.—The most hand
some private express wagon we have ever
seen has just been built for Abe; well-known
stationers, the Brothers Murphy,at the corner
of Fourth and Chestnut streets. Whatever is
undertaken by this enterprising young firm is
not only done, but done , in the best possible
manner. • The iron work of the vehicle has
been plated with nickel- . —a plating having all
the lustre of silver, with the, imperishability
of . hammered steel. This work was done at
the Star Nickel Plating Works, No. 425 Wal
nut street, in this city, under the superintend
ence of - Wm..F. Irwin,:Fsq. The task was a
ponderous one. It is compensated for by the
exceeding beauty of the work. The advan
tage' of a surface nickel is; that to destroy it
you must first destroy the metal behind it, and
that what would ruin the brilliance of silver
is without effect upon a surface washed in
nickel. Under the vigorous and intelligent

Hagan's Magnolia Balm upon your face,neck and hand,
and use Lyon's Rathairon upon your hair. The Balm

you can't tell what did it. It removes freckles, tarn
sallowness, ring-marks, moth-patches, etc. ; and in place
of a red, rustic face, you have the marble purity of a,.
exquisite belle. It gives to middle age the bloom 0!
perpetual youth. Add these effects to a splendid head ,c
hair produced by the liathalren, and a lady hue dim
her best in the way of adornment. Brothers will non
