the buildings every hour. The Waterman

MOURNING THE DEAD.
Survivors Pay Tribute to Companions
Gone Before.

Early this morning the flags on the engine
and truck houses were placed at half-mast
as a mark of respect to the dead liremen,
and the sad ending of three brave and ambi-
tiCus members of the department was dis
CT ssed among the men. They all wondered
how it was with So many walls falling, that
others escaped with theif lives. The fatal
fire cast a gloom over the members OF No.
Engine Company, of which the deceased
firemen were members. Generally when an
accident Of any kind happens to iirerncn It
catches members of this company.
At No. l engine house this morning many
citizens called to inquire about the dead
men. and TO offer any assistance tnat might
be needed all expressing sorrow for the sad
accident.
Foreman Boss was on duty. and two men
had been sent from one of The truck COM
panies to do duty in the places CT the dead
men. Speaking of the three victims of the
fire. Foreman Boss said: They were as
good as any men who ever did service In any
fire department. Never during the service
had they given any trouble. and they were
as brave and ambitious as any men ever
In the business
And" he added. that was the reason
they were killed.
Speaking of fatalities at fires. Foreman
Boss said that this city has as few of them
as any city in the world, and he said the
wide streets. giving the firamen plenty Of
room. is the cause Of 1t. Had this fire been
in some cities where the streets a-e mar

MR.. kNOx's ESTIMATE.
The Loss in the Neigh bOrhoOd Of Half
Million.

Mr. John o. Knox. one Of the chief own
ers OF the weIl-known express company.
was at the scene OF the fire soon after the
general alarm was sounded. and, seeing
there was no hope OF saving the building.
he was soon making arrangements for the
transaction of business today. and his ef-
forts in this direction were successful. He
worked hard ali night, and after getting
his business affairs as straight as possible
he met with a painful and perhaps serious
accident. The exact extent OF Mr.. knox's
injuries cannot be stated, but DIR. Cham
berlin. his attending physician, says he will
be confined to his room for several days at
least.
1t was about 8 o'clock this morning when
Mr.. Knox met with the accident. He had
been leaned a horse and buggy by friend,
as his own team had persisted in the
flames, and he went to the Baltimore and
Potomac depot to transact some business
relative to the removal of the fast freight
goods. and there IL was the accident hap
pered. He had stopped his horse and was
getting out of the buggy. wnen the animal
started, ard threw him over the front
wheel The animal did not stop, and, after
getting one leg twisted in the wheels. the
vehicle passed over both his legs and SO
painfully injured bin that he had to be
sent to the National Hotei, where he lives,
in a carriage.
DIR. Chamberlin was soon a. his bedside.
and he found that no bones had been
broken. The muscles OF the legs had beaa
injured. and Mr.. Kroy being a neavy Eian,
the fall had otherwise injured him. DR.
Chamberin said that his patient was OK
tremely anxious TO get OUT and attend TO
business, but he said he thought IL would
be several days before he could get out of
bed.
The Owners Estimate.
4 Star reporter saw the patient soon
after the doctor left him this morning and
he seemed to be suffering intense pain in
addition to being extremely anxious about
his business affairs. and worried over the
loss of life at the fire.
Mr. Knox described the accident es above
stated. and in relation 20 the affairs Cf the
express company he said: I'VE are trans
acting our express business and The fire
will cause no interruption whatever. Be
tween 3 and O'Clock this morning 1 made
all arrangements for the transportation
of freight. The storage business Is Of
course, wiped out for the present"
Are you able to give any idea OF the
amount of damage done?" the reporter
asked him.
The personal loss" he replied, is about
100000. l should judge. and the loss in the
storage department will amount to fully
100000. On the storage department the
company carried no insurance, .he owners
of the goods looking after their own in
surance."
Mr.. Knox said he could not give the exact
amount OF insurance carried by the COM
pany. but he thought 1t was somethinG
like $4,000. which would make q loss Of
$325.OOO to the company.
The goods on storage, he said, consisted Of
every imaginable article of household fur

The big bay widow at the corner of I'd and
B streets stood intact and looked like a

fire burned steadily all day. but the great
damage has been done, and ii conteuted
itself with eating away at the debris, which
was piled about high in the air. Chief Par
riS decided to keep several streams at work
for the smoldering fire underneath was
liable to br eak out at any time. He sent all
of his men home shortly after noon. They
were all thoroughly tired and their pinched
faces told plainly the severe strain they had
been under for this past ten hours
