Have you any clew yet?"
Mr. Mayr at first thought he was being joked with but wheu he was shown a paper stating that he hai lost about S3,000 by the burgiary of his store, the boys had to pour water on his head and fan him with the cover of a hat box.

PHILADELPHIA, Ja:i. L'7.—A tiny spiral of smoke curled out of the collar window of a big building on Alarkot street yesterday and in a few hours one of the most valuable blocks of real estate in the city had been consumed in raging flame. It was the block bounded byMarket, Thirteenth, Filbert and Juniper streets, in the very heart of the city. A few steps to the right looms the massive city hall, aronnd the corner stands the Pennsylvania railroad terminal and directly across the way John Wanamakcr's great store stretches from street to street. So fierce was tho flaino and so strong the wind which aided its destructive work that even this building, distant the width of Market street, was saved almost by a miracle from total destruction, and Mr. Wanainaker places his loss at 8100,000.
The total loss is variously estimated at from §1,000,000 to §2,500,000. but in the chaos and confusion now existing it is all but impossible to secure accurate liguros. Tho losses are very generally covered by insurance.
Thirty ftuildiu^s Consumed. The fire originated in tho basement of tho 0-story building extending from ISO!) to 1317 Market street, occupied in the lower floors by Hanscom Bros., grocers, and above by the umbrella factory of Hirsh Hros. The smoke was discovered by a policeman, who promptly turned in an alarm, but the fire made such headway that before the engines could be put to work the building was a mass of flames. With uncontrollable rapidity it then spread in all directions, destroying about 30 buildings before ithad been finally controlled. The lire reached the big tower of Wan maker's store about, an hour after it started, and the energies of the department were then concentrated upon saving thaf building. Tuo tower was entirely destroyed, together with the valnablo clock and chimes, the roof ail along the Market street front, being badly damaged and a great deal of the stock in the front of the store suffered from smoke and water.
The buildings wholly or partially destroyed and the estimated losses wero: Potter & Co., photographers, and John Hilleni, druggist, §30,000 O. K. Sterner, cigar §7,000 Ii. L. Roberts & Co., photographers, §70,000 Hirsh & Bros., umbrellas Haiiseoinb Bros., grocers, and A. W. Dennett, restaurant-) $400,000 Blum Bros., cloaks ami suits,"§00,000: A. Marshall, restaurant. j,!)00 C. P. Wells, hats. §38,000 John Dickson, heaters, §40,000 Showell & Freyer, grocers, §110,000.
Thrilling incidents were not wanting. While the fi:o was at its bight an employe of the carpr-t firiu of Tvins, Dietz & Ma gee whose building in the block below that devastated by the tlames on Market street, was overcome by excitement and suddenly dropped dead.
James Furlong, proprietor of the saloon at the corner of Jnniper and Filbert streets was critically ill of pneumonia. When the flames began to eat their way to his piaffe, a squad of firenien carried him from his sick bed into the bleak streets and he was hurriedly taken to a nearby hotel. The excitement and shock may cost him his life.
Shortly after a fireman was injured. He is William Gorman, aged 32 years. He was struck by falling bricks and timbers and badly hurt about, the head and neck.
Had the fire occurred an hour or two later the results would have been appalling. The burned district is in the very heart of the business center of the city. 'vs:
