The front three-quarters of the building, where the most valuable goods are kept wa.s completely ruined a mass of debris crushed into the cellar and the outer walls thrown into the street The loss can hardly be less than $100,000, while the loss to the building is possibly $"20,000, as it was very old. The building was the property of William A. Hooper, banker and finan cier, and was 100 feet wide on Fourth street and extended back 150 feet to aa alley. Its Fourth street front was sev en stones high and its height on the alley was eight and a half stories. It also extended two stories deep under the ground. It was nearly new and cost $!00, 000 to put up, while Burkhardt added $90,000 in interior adornment within the last two years. Burkhardt said that he could only give a rough estimate of the value of the stock in the building and that was to the best of his belief between S000, 000 and 3700,000. The east frontage on Fourth street of the Hooper building was occupied by Henry Geicrshofer Sc Co., dealers in clothing and manufacturers. They es timated their stock at over $400,000. Probably $12.000 worth of this is un der tarpaulin on the north side of Fourth, near Race street thanks to the energy of the salvage company, the fire having started in Burkhardt' n es tablishment at the corner, which gave time to save soma oi tne gooux The rest went with the great Good man building. Gclcrsliofer's loss will not be less than &r0,000 and they have that amount of insurance that their loss will be fully covered. The loss of the building will not be less than S250.0O0, and if Mr. Burkhardt's estimate of his stock in correct, the loss by this fire will reach $1,500,000. HAMLIN S FUNERAL.

Jaly 11.--The aab- Ittee of the finance committee of the city council inquiring into the fall are of the Keystone national bank aad the affairs of ex-City Treasurer Bards ley. held a protracted session yesterday afternoon. The main witnesses were Robert Mc Wade, city editor of the Pub lic Ledger; William McKeae. editor la chief of the same paper, aad Postmaster-General Waaataaker. The tes timony of McWade and McKvan had reference to two statement obtained by the former from Bardsley on June 18 and 19 fourdar before the accused citr treasurer made hi public state ment in court when brought up for sentence. McWsde was the first witness. He said in aniwer to questions that he went to the countj prison on Thurvlaj, June 1 and interviewed the impris oned ex -city treasurer. Bardsley talked freely and understood that the inter view was for publication. He tId Bardsley at the beginning that in view of certain charges that had been made in the newspapers he thought it proper for him to make a full statement par ticularly as to what had become of tho $943,000 deposited and which had disap peared, the charge being made that it had been stolen. After Mr. McWade had written out the first statement he said a consult tation was held between Mr. McKean. himself and another member of tho ed itorial force of the ledger and after full deliberation and discussion it was decided not to publish It Ix-cause strongrofcrence, unsupported by facts, was made to certain people. Both interviews were submitted to the committee, and it was decided by a vote of five to two to at once listen to the public reading of the statement Mr. McWade. being familiar with tho manuscript was asked to read the pa pers, which he willingly consented to do. Much that Bardsley told McWade was afterward incorporated in the statement he read in court when called up for sentence June -3. and which lias already been published. In these Bardsley again went orer the t ry of the Keystone bank and stoutly main tained that ho put the $'..U).0O0 in tho bank, but did not know what became of it any more than he believed that iTCsIdent Marsh got it Bardsley said that Bank Examiner Drew had been a heavy borrower from the Keystone bank and was completely under Lucas' and Marsh's thumbs. In regard to John Wauamnker Itards ley said that Marsh told him that ho knowingly held over-issued shares of the bank stock and demanded MOO. (MX) for them and upset the plans for re organization of the bank. Bardsley ad vised Marsh to engage counsel and make a demand on Wnnnmalccr for the over-issued shares, as he was guilty of a crime in holding them. Marsh re tained Mayor Sulzberger and John O. Johnson as his counsel, and they made a demand on Wauaiuakcr, which he re fused. Wanatnaker's proposition was that pay and ycrs that the Lucas estate should him $50,000, Marsh t'J5,000 the bank $-J5.O00. Tho law then notified Wanatnaker if the fraudulent shares were not delivered to them nt a speci fied duto they would resort to legal measures to get them. The shares were then 'turned over without delay Mr. Wanamakcr had mado a threat that he would see Comptroller Lacoy in Washington and have the bank closed before they expected it "In March, 190," said Bardsley, "Marsh came to me and said Wana maker wanted $200,000 at once. Marsh told him that be did not' hare the amount on hand, and Wanamakcr told him where he could get it Two days later. Marsh came to me saying that Wanamakcr was persistent and must have the money. I loaned him the money and Wanamakcr got it" Bardsley also talked a great deal about his connection in the past with several prominent Philadclphians and blamed them for the stand they had taken against him. He is accredited by Mr. McWade with having spoken of CoL McClure, of the Times, in the fol lowing terms: "When I was a candi date for city treasurer I called on CoL McClure and told him everything in my past life and said that if he would say so I would withdraw. He said: to ahead; the Times will be for yon.' But he weakened afterwards. You remem ber the scheme to get the gasworks from the city? Well. McClure was in that McClure was to get a big block of the stock for his advocacy in his paper and was not to pay a cent for it McClure was also in a number of other schemes. "When I became city treasurer." Bardsley declared. "Colonel McClure called on Mayor Fitter and asked for the appointment of Magistrate Bob Smith a one of the magistrates to col lect delinquent mercantile taxes. Mr. Titler said to me: Bardsler, there is some money for the magistrates in the collection of those mercantile taxes, isn't there? I answered: 'Yes. I have heard so. 'WelL he continued. "CoL McClure has been to see me about hav ing Magistrate Bob Smith appointed as one oi the fellows.' 'Mr. Mayor.' I answered, I can not appoint him for Mr. McClure. I do not want to appoint that man. anyhow, but if you want me to do it I'll name him. Mayor Fitter wanted to oblige CoL McCane aad said so. Then I agreed to appoint Major Smith. Not long after that he seat for me and told me that Bill Siag erly wanted Richard J Lennoa. a democrat appoioed mercantile ap praiser, aad that be had promised to do what he could for hinv He asked se to make his promise good. I said I would vote for Lenooa He was; de lighted aad harried off to tell Siageriy, who came aad crawled all over me. After Siageriy left I learned that Matt Qaay was pnshiag Al Crawford for the place and that the auditor-general, who was Qaay "a man, would support Craw ford. "Strong pressure was broagnt to bear oa me by Qaay aad hb awe a Porter, Martia aad others bat I held to my promise.

The Iaqairer has been very wild and ridiealoaa in aeeae of the charges it has made. LT vcrsoa has no reason to attack me or to allow me to be attacked in this way by hk people.
