uncounted millions; the country rich with
treasure almost beyond calculation; but
business at a stand-still all ready for
panic; the Government credit In danger
OF collapse for want OF a hundred nib
Hon; and Uncle Sam borrowing money
to tide over an emergency as poor man
pawns his watch.
What was the trouble? There was
plenty Of gold, ten times more than was
needed. but where was 1t? Everywhere
except in the Treasury. the place that
needed It most. 1t couldn't help the
Government until IL was in the Treasury.
There was the weak spot: and nobody
was sure It could be mended In time.
Would the gold reach the Treasury be-
fore il collapsed? That was the question.
1t did reach the Treasury; Government
credit was saved; panic was averted: the
wheels Of business were set moving again

Fatal PHILADELPHIA FIRE.
The Old Pennsylvania X. X. Depot Burned.
Two Firemen Killed and Many Injured.

Two
PHILADELPHIA, PA, April 1s.-The
old Pennsylvania railroad depot at Thir-
ty-third and Market streets and the
train shed, together with eight Pullman
cars and about thirty passenger coaches.
were totally destroyed by fire tonight.
Two firemen were killed by falling walls
and over a dozen others were injured.
The loss is estimated at sS50.000 The
Pennsylvania Railroad Company carries
its own insurance.
The dead are:
William NJ. Saiger aged fifty-seven
years. assistant chief engineer OF the
Philadelphia Fire Department, skull frac-
tured, internal injuries, and frightfully
burned: died within ten minutes after
being removed TO the Presbyterian Hos
pital.
Hugh McGranigan, forty-eight years,
assistant foreman of Truck No. /, badly
crushed; died at his hospital half hour
after being admitted.
The fire started at 4:3O o'clock. presuma-
bly, from an explosion of gasoline in a coal
bin under the train shed, and It spread
rapidly. Three alarms were turned In,
and the firemen, aided by at least five
hundred employees of the Pennsylvania
railroad shops, near by. fought the flames,
but without effect. The workmen saved
a number of cars that were under the
train shed, by pushing them by main
strength 10 places OF safety. among them
being the private cars of President Rob-
orts and Vice-President Thompson. OF
the Pennsylvania railroad and President
Kmball, of the Norfolk and Western
railroad. The fire ragged for six hours,
and it was not extinguished until mid
night.
Shortly after o'clock an iron portico
in front of the building fell, and four
nremen were caught by the debris ana
badly injured. The most serious disas-
ter occurred two hours later when a
twO-st0ry wing of the building fell with
out warning, burying a half-dozen fremen
under the mass of hot bricks. The men
were rescued quickly, but Stalger ana
McGrenhan had sutained Internal INJURIES
and they died in the hospital. McEreiia-
han regaIned consciousness shortly be-
fore he bre9thed his last. ana ne asked
that a priest be summoned. The clergy
man arrived a few moments too late. lie
leaves a wife and three children. Stalger
had heen a fireman for at least thirty
wears. and he was one of the besthho"h
members Of the Fire Department Two
children survive him.
The building was occupied by seNerd'
officials OF the Pennsylvania railroad
and valuable plans and records were de-
stroved. The commissary department
of the Pullman Company was also To-
Gated AZ this place. The structure was
abandoned for passenger traffic in ISL
when the Broad-street station was com
pleted. after having been in use for ten
or twelve years. There were sixteen
tracks in the train-shed, and these were
filled with cars when the fire started.

offer was made to the club by MAJOR

handsome structure with all needed ac-

membership of the club, as stated above,
is almost one hundred. yet the field never

tributors IL has. therefore. been deemed
advisable TO make the change so as to
give them better opportunity to follow

advantage at the new building will be the
existence OF sufficient number Of stalls
