George Thomas, n young man who lives
over Eleventh street bridge and who is EN-
ployed at the Edge Moor iron works as a
blacksmiths helper, attempted suicide
Eleventh street bridge into the Brandywine.
When he entered the water the desire to die
was dispelled and, graspinga rope attached
to the draw Of the bridge, he held on to 1t
until he was rescued by by-stander named
George McCullom. Despite tho protests OF
Thomas he was dueked several times and
then sent home. Thomas was drunk and
attempted suicide, It Is said, because he
was refused a drink at q saloon In the
neighborhood. He had been on protracted

NEW FRsreHr STATION.



Workmen are now engaged in demolish-
ing the well-known HupzberRer Building,
at the southwest corner of Water and
Market streets, preparatory to the erection
thereon OF a freight station for the Balti-
more Il Philadelphia Railroad Company.
The latter company now owns the building
and also all the property on line with it,
extending TO the Christiana river.
The Hunzberger building is one of the
landmarks OF Wilmington and was erected
by the late Enos Hunzberger about 1858 or
1859. 1t originally had frontage of about
10 feet on Market street, but a slice Of IS
feet was taken away when Water street was
widened. Mr.. Hunzberger was leading
carriage manufacturer when he erected the
building, which Is FIVE stories high. Dur
ing the war 1t was used for awhile as hos
pital, and subsequently, was occupied by
William Bush, morocco manufacturer. 1t
was afterwards devoted to its original pur-
poses, and has also been used for various
business enterprises. 1t was purchased by
the b. d p. Railroad Company over u year
ago.
The work Of demolition was started this
morning, and also the cleaning up of the
adjoining premises in the rear. The old
office aud sheds of the Tatnall lumber
yard on the south will also be torn down.
On the ground thus vacated will be erected
q local freight station for the railroad COM

on the new structure will commence as
soon rs the old buildings are removed and
the ground prepared.
Work on the main line of the Baltimore

favorably. To-day track-laying will be
completed to the Philadelphia line, and 1t
is expected that the Susquehanna bridge
will be finished in about six weeks. Plans
for stations are being prepared, and ar
rangements will be made to complete them
promptly when the time arrives to start

a DEsPERArE SITUATION.
The Victims OF the Stry Fire Fight-
ing for FOOd-6S Charred bodies.


Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
VIENNA, April 21.-The condition of affairs
at Stry among the people who lost their
homes by the great fire is most pitiable.
Most of the victims are without food or
means and are rendered desperate by the
thought OF starvation. The farmers In the
vicinity have been visited by mobs OF men
who first demanded food and then, II re-
fused, stole 1t.
Owners of farms are now compelled to
barricade their houses as the only way to
guard them from being plundered OF food
by the mob which on account of hunger is
becoming uncomfortable. Numerous strug-
giles for food resulting in bloodshed have
taken place.
All the public archives and registers of
Stry were lost In the fire. 1t will be neces-
sary to ask grants Of money from the
Lemberg diet and reichsrath to relieve
the distress OF the thousands of destitute
people.
The search for remains OF persons who
lost their lives during the confiagration has
been proceeding as rapidly as the circum-
stances will allow. frhus far 6S bodies,
charred go as to make recognition difficult,
have been taken from the ruins. There
have been 20 deaths In the fields since Sum
| day of invalids, young and old, who were
| taken out of the town to escape the fiemes
