A fire that will probablj lnrolve the death of at least a dozen persons occurred last night at; tho dress goods and knit goods factory of Charles ILLandenberger, a five-story brick structure, 60x100 feet, fronting on Randolph street, above Columbia avenue, Philadelphia. Owing to advance orders thcinilt has beenmnning full time, and at seven o'clock last evening, when the night shift went on, it was composed of forl about fifteen of 7 whonr were women or young girls. Shortly after ten o'clock a patrolman who wan tn thf teener of a saloon at the corner remarked, Look at that elec-iricllght, how it flickers." In another instant, to uso the policeman's own words, "there was a lash and the whole upper -portion-of-the structure was-fiUed with smoke and flames." There was no "fire escape, the only means of egress being by two wooden stairways, both of which were on fire, and a bridge connecting the structure with Pearce and Landenberg's mill in front. Some of the employes made a rush for this bridge, but the door on the other aide 'being securely locked, scape by that means was impossible. Like 'frightened sheephey returned to the Jburning mill, and the fire crowding upon them, one of the girls leaped from a 'fifth-story window, Almost instantly most of the other employes followed her xample, and the yard below was soon strewn with the maimed, whose cries for This, That, and the Other Thlnr, from Here, There, and Everywhere.

G. Holland, Editor, Norellst and Poet. Josiah Gilbert Holland, a writer long familiar to the American public under his pseudonym of Timothy Titcomb, and one of the founders and the editors of Str finer' Magazine, now the Century Magazine, died suddenly at his home in New York early yesterday morning. For the last five years he had sufiered more or less from angina pectoris, though he had been comparatively well during the past twelve months, and was at his office as usual on Tuesday, so that his death, while readily accounted for, was no less a shock to his friend. He leaves a wife and two daughters and a who is a student at Yale.

Dr. Holland was in his sixty-third year, having been born at Bel-chertown, Hampshire county, Massachusetts, July 24, 1819. Coroner' Work and Fees. The following, in relation to the Coroners of this county and the fees received Jjy them in the year ending in May, 1S81, is gleaned from the annual report of County Collector Ezra Stokes There have been 280injuoirts and views held by Coroners Iszard, Jefieris and Bennett, County Physician Morgan and Jus tices Jewett and Fowler. The inquests numbered 44, of which Iszard held 22, Jefieris, 18; Bennett, 3, and Fowler, 1.

The views held were 236, of which Iszard held 24 Jefieris, 88 Morgan, 121 Ben nett, and Jewett, 1. The fees paid were a follows: -Iszard, Jefieris, Morgan, Bennett, Fowler, Jewett, $6.30. It thus appears that the average cost of ascertaining the causes of sudden deaths was with Coroner Iszard $24.92 Jefferis, $10.36 Bennett, $24.38 County Physician Morgan, $6.10 Justice Fowler, 39 Jewett, $6.30. General average, $11 13. The small average of the County Phy sician is explained by the fact that he holds no inquests, the cost of which is greater than the holding of views.

The Cattle Disease. Dr.T.B. Rogers, of Westville, the In spector of the State Board of Health for the lower counties of South Jersey, has again visited the farm of Michael Hogan, among whose herd of cattle ajaystenous disease has prevailed for some time past, and has decided that the disease is what is known as "Anthrax," a modification of typhus fever, and is communicable to al lower animals and to man. He ordered the herd to be quarantined, and the Town ship Committee is taking the necessary steps to erect new sheds and disinfect the premises. As a precautionary measure he also advises farmers in the vicinity to avoid bringing in new stock until after heavy frosts.

Seven of Mr. Hogan's cows have died within a short time and another is reported dying. Personal. Scovel. Col.

A Jersey Shark Hunt. The fishermen and truckers in the neighborhood of Red Bank, New Jersey, have been thrown into a state of excitement by the appearance of a man-eating shark which, for the past fewdays, has been disporting in the Delaware in that vicinity. Several parties of yachtmen sallied out in quest of the monster, but the man-eater showed so little concern at their approach that they gave up the chase. -Finally six Jerseymen concluded to end the antics of the shark by bringing his carcass to the shore.

To an iron hook they attached a strong rope, which they baited with meat. The object of their search was overtaken after an hour's manoeuvring." 'Two brawny truckers stood in-thetern of the boat with the line, which they had conveniently fastened to a clamp, so that it could not be jerked away. The expected tug came, but to their dismay they found that his shark-ship had swallowed the bait, bit the rope in twain and swam off. To Be Opened. The new Philadelphia, Marlton and Medford Railroad, between Haddonfield, on the Camden and Atlantic Railroad, and Medford, in Burlington county, has now been completed, and will be opened for regular business on Monday, the 17th inst.

was sent to jail from a Justice's court in this city to-day on ix different complaints, three being for highway robbery, two for indecent assault, and pne for grand larceny. Mullen is positively identified as a man who has been hanging around th: outskirts of Plainfield all summer, and who has, day after day, committed daring assaults upon ladies and girls passing along the streets away from the centre of the citv, -Ud to Monday last the fellow had defied all attempts of the publicand of private detectives to capture him. ux spite of a reward of $1 00 oflered by the city authorities. One of the complaints to-day was made by a lady from whom Mullen had snatched a chatelaine bag containing $150 in money and a quantity of jewelry. Another was by a young lady whom he had seized and by indecent threats forced to give him all the money she had.

A third was by a lady whom he had choked, struck, and at tempted to outrage, but was frightened off before enecting his purpose. One other complaint of assault was made by a servant girl whom he had seized. The crime which finally led to his detection and arrest was the stealing of $170 a whole summer's wages from John Harding, a coachman, who had befriended him and given him a sleeping-place in his barn; Mullen took the money from Harding's clothes Friday and disappeared earlv in the morning. Captain of Police Dodd, of this city, obtained a trace of Mullen at Yonkers, N. and on Monday captured him in that city and brought him here.

Ninety dollars of the stolen money were recovered from him. Upon being arraigned to-day, he admitted stealing the money from Harding, but refused. to make any statement as to the other complaints. He was committed in default of $1,000 bail in each of the six complaints. In addition to the above crimes, Mullen is believed to be the man who assaulted two girls on Putnam avenue one night several "weeks ago.

and, failing to effect his purpose, stabbed one of them and fled. Mount Hotly Talr.

The police, firemen and neighbors went to work with a will, and every vehicle in the vicinity was pressed into service as ambulances.

These conveyed the wounded to the various hospitals, and tho least injured to their homes. Those who were unable to tell where they lived, and who appeared to be simply atunned, were taken to the saloons in the neighberhood and medical attendance summoned.
