A TERRIBLE FIRE.
The Burning or Mr. F. A. Sehntte's
large Fornlture Establishment-
Entire Destruction of the Build
ins and Contents-About 10,000
Cone Up.
The destruction of Mr. F. A.Schuttes
furniture establishment last night was
the most serious conflagration "we have bad
here in many months. The alarm was
first given a little after 1 1 o'clock. At
that hour officer G. W. W. Davis, of the
police force, had just passed down Front
street and around en Dock to Water and
found everything secure. The light in
the Front street portion of Mr; Sehntte's
store near the street was burning and
everything seemed right. He passed on
around by Walter to Front streets when
he heard the alarm given. He ran to the
spot and locating the fire saw that the
gas light had been extinguished since he
had last passed there. Some parties were
at the door then endeavoring to force it
open, but they were restrained, and officer
Davis then ran around to the Dock street
entrance where several sailors had broken
in the doors. This caused a rush of I air
into the building and the flames began to
rage very fiercely. As soon as j possible
all of the various arms of the fire depart
ment had reached the spot, the credit of
throwing the first stream of water being
fiue to toe uape rear icoiorem oteam
Fire Engine Company. They all worked
very manfully, but it was impossible to
control or check the flames, the fire having
spread rapidly through the entire establish
ment gathering in its fiery embrace tbe im
mense stock of goods stored on the three
floors of the large building. By 12 o'clock
the destruction was complete, and it was
onlywhen the flames were becoming ex"
haiisted through . the want of fresh fuel,
that the immense volumes of water poured
into the burniug buildings pro luce 1 any
perceptible effect.
The surrounding buildings were all in
great danger at one time, but through the
almost superhuman exertions of the fire
men, they were all saved with some slight
damages, j
The fire originated in the workshop of
the establishment which was on the first
floor of the building on Dock street and
where there was a considerable amount of
very combustible upholstering material.
Opinion is divided as to whether it was
accidental or incendiary. The Front
street building communicated in tin rear
with an alley way running back of Mr.
J. II. Neff's saloon and it is possible that
some villain may have found his way into
the building through this rear door and
then fired the building. Mr. Schutte's
loss is very heavy. Ho states that he had
in store between $23,000 and. $29,000
worth of goods and on this there was in
surance for; less than one half. Id all he
had $13,000 insurance apportioned
among the following agencies:
With Jno.'W. Gordon & Bro., in Lycom
ing Insurance Company, ofMuncy, Pa., for
$l,000j; with DeRosset & Northrop, la
Niagara, of New York, for $1,500 ; with
Norwood Giles1, $3,000, in Orient, of Hart
ford ; $2,000, in Phojix, of Hartford ; and
$2,500 in Howard, of New York ; with
Atkinson & Manning, $2,000 in Phcexix,
of Brooklyn ; and $1,000 in Fire Associa
tion , of Philadelphia. Mr. Schutte lost
very nearly! his entire stock, only a few
articles of light value having been saved in
a damaged condition.
The two buildings were owned by Mr
Lulir Vollars and their value could hardly
have been less, than $8,000 He was in
sured for $4, 000 with! Norwood Giles, in
the Franklin, of Philadelphia.
The building on the corner of Front and
Dock streets, next adjoining the Front
street entrance of Mr. Schutte's store, bt
longing to H. YonGlahn, was very sl'ghtly
injured. It is occupied by Mr. J. H. Mo
Garrityj but Mr. McG. would not remove
and therefore sustained no loss.
The building next nortn ot tne nre, on
Front street, took fire through one of the
windows, but the flames were soon put
out. Da-mages about $300. The build
ing belongs to the estate of the late C.
Tienken and was insured for $4000 with
Norwood Giles in the Phoenix, of Hartford.
On the first floor of this building is loca
ted next to Sehntte's, Mr. Charles Klein
cabinet maker. His losses by water and
removal will probably amount to j $400
and he had but $200 insurance in the
Orient, of Harttord, Norwood j Giles
Agent. Mr. J. F. Stolter, who has a
grocery floor in this building, next north
of Mr. Klein's, was damaged about $250.
by removal. Ho is insured for $1,250
with DeRosset & Northrop, in the
Underwriters, of New York.
On Dock street Mr. W. P. Oldham was
the only sufferer to any appreciable ex
tent. He occupied a part of a building
next to tne nre, used by him as a store
room, and his loss by damages form the
water will probably reach $300. He
ha3 insurance with DeRosset & Northrop
for $800 in the London Assurance Corpo
ration, of England.
The building on South Water . street,
immediately in rear of the fire and ad-
joinmng tne burning building,
occupied by Mr. Joseph H.
Neff as the "Verandah Saloon and
owned by Mr. A. II. Neff, was at one
time in imminent danger, but by strenu
ous exertions' the names were driven back.
The damages on this building will prob
ably amount to only $200 or $300 and it
is insured with Atkinson Jc Manning, in
the Queen of Liverpool, for $2,000. Mr.
J. H. Neff a stock and fixtures in the bil
liard room were injured to an extent
which will hardly exceed $200. He is
insured with Atkinson & Manning in the
Hartford of Hartford, for $2,000. j
Mr Schutte recovered his safe this morn
ing and from it his books and papers, as
well as about $100 in money. The books
were but slightly scorched. It was at
the opening of his safe that Mr. Vollers,
the owner of the store, remarked on a fact
which had but then occurred to him, and
that was that-while in Mr. Schutte's store
at 6 o'clock last evening he remembers to
have smelled ah odor as of something
burning but paid no attention to it think
ing that it was merely caused by the
burning of a piece of paper which had
been purposely lighted. In this fact may
be found a possible solution of the cause
of the fire. It is not unlikely that a
spark may have been communicated
from a -pipe or a cigar or a lighted match
carelessly thrown aside which communi
cated to the combustibles amons which
the fire was discovered. This, we
the most plausible theory of the
advanced.
By order of His Honor, Mayor
blate, the walls of the building on

Death of Mr. Bullard.
MrJ Thomas Bullard the gentleman who
was strickien with paralysis, J while on
his way to this city oa the Steamer D.
Mutchison last Tuesday night, which was
mentioned in the Review on Wednesday,
breathed his last at the Rockspring Hotel
on Chestnut street last night, about ten
i
o'clock. All that medical aid could do
aas done by his physician, Dr. Wood,
but all to no purpose; It was evident
A A
from the first that the attack would pro
bablv nrove fatal.! One of Mr. Bullard 's
sons arrived on the morning train yes-.
terday and was with him when he died,
another son and his brother Mr. G. W
Bullard arrived by the Steamer Murchison
last night, but too late to see their father
and brother as the boat did not reach
here until several hours after he had
died. Mr. Bullard was a man of high
standing in Sampson county where he
lived, and has been a consistent member
of the Methodist Church for many years.
He leaves a large number of friends and
relatives to mourn his sudden death.
The remains' will be taken by the
Steamer t). Murdiison, the same on which
the deceased was travelling, when first
attacked, to his home near Cedar Creek at
2 o'clock this aftcrnoou. .
