The depot had a frontage on Market
street Of about 100 ieet and extended
back on Third street to Arch street,
distance of 400 feet. Tho shed was
used 10 store cars. At the time the
fire broke out there were ~ pullmans
in the shed, eight of them being de
stroyed. Twenty five passenger coaches
were also consumed.
The fire originated about the centre
of the structure, and swept so rapidly
toward Market street that the old
brick station was Quilted almost before
the tremen had gotten to work.
While tho fire was burning most

were standing beneath the himsy por-
tico part Of the brick wall above them
fell, crashing down and through the
structure above the men and burying
them under a heavy mass Of brick and
mota work. Tho men were badly in.
lured and were sent to the hospital.
Scarcely had tho excitement due to
this accident subsidized when the second

tiromen had been ordered to go inside
the building. Tho walls standing were
shaky. Scarcely had the men gotten
inside when the tottering front wall
fell, carrying tons of debris down upon
the tircmen. Staigort was SO com
pletelv covered that only his foot
could be seen. while McGranihan and
Preston were more fortunate.
Within 30 minutes after the fire was
discovered the sheds were seething

Cling 10 keep tho conaagration from
reaching the depot, but the firemen
were powerless Only the brick walls
of tho old depot remain.
The depot proper was used as the
main telegraph otllce Of tho Pennsyl-

baltimore and Washington branch OF
that line were delayed. Many old and
valuable records of the company were
destroyed.
