HEALTH IMPROVING.
Little Sickness at Camp Meade Outside

Graham's Opinion.

Oh new YORK ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Graham's Opinion.
CAMP MEADE, MIDDLETowN, Pa.
Sept. d. Major General Graham
thinks the war department. will not be
in hurry to break up the Second army
corps. His troops are accustomed to the
colder weather OF the north and they
would probably withstand the rigors of
the climate at Camp Meade better than
the enervating atmosphere of the south.
The only southern regiments in the
corps are the Second West Virginia.
Second Maryland and Second Tennes-
see, all the others being from the north
General Graham says that the south
ern camps have not been as healthful
as those in the north and favors the re-
tentlon of the troops at Camp Meade
until 1t becomes necessary to send them
to the West Indies and Philippines.
The health conditions of the camp
are improving and outside of the New
York regiments there are very little
sickness. Chief Surgeon Girard at
tributes much of the sickness of the
New Workers to the unhealthy condi-
ton of Camp Black. Fifteen fever
cases were taken away yesterday after
NOON ny the OOOd samaritan hospital of
Lebanon and "A others were shipped to
Pennsylvania hospital at Eighth and
Spruce streets.
The Red Cross wards in the Second
division hospital have been enlarged
and the fever patients who are too weak
to be sent to city hospitals are being at
tended by trained female nurses.
Clarence E. Brayton, sergeant major
of the Third New York regiment, died
yesterday of spinal meningitis at Har-
risburg. DR.. H. S. Hoteling of SYRIA.
cuse, who attended Brayton, SAYS his
death was caused by neglect.
Private Edgar A. Elicit, Company G.
Fourth Missouri, died yesterday of ty-
phoid fever and his remains will be
shipped to ST. Joseph.
The Second West Virginia started
yesterday morning on march to Get
tysburg to attend the dedication Thurs

bnOuBht 20 be due TO spontaneous COM
bustion, occurred at the grain elevator
of Paddock, Hodge & Co. last night.
AS far as known last night eight men
were killed and probably eight fatally
injured.
Some Of those who were taken out
after the fire started were far enough
from deaths door to tell many of the
details.
William j. Parks, the superinten-
dent, after being blown through the
window of the lower story, was con-
scious for q moment, and said that
about $3.50 terrible explosion occurred
on the south side of the elevator, and
that he knew there were about 20 men
at work on the seven floors of the enor-
nous building None of those who are
now alive will survive the burns and
bruises with which they are covered.
Besides those regularly employed at the
elevator the three children of Superin-
tendent Parks were visiting him at the
time. One of these may recover from
his burns, but Grace, a 17-year-old girl,
is burned almost beyond recognition,
and Harold, the third chlld, has not
been found, being either blown to atoms
or cremated.
William Parks was found about 20
feet from the building, frightfully
burned and his clothing almost entirely
torn off. He had been hurled from his
place in the main room through a
window and his agonizing cries were
most pitiful. Another employee, JOHN
Carr, was hurled from the fifth floor of
"a hY,il
and burned, with many bones broken.
He did not long survive Fireman David
Kemp and Charles Keifer, the engineer,
were found at their places in the engine
rooms. They were wounded by falling
timbers and their faces were charred to
a crisp by the flames.
The little daughter of William Parks,
was sitting at the desk in the Office at
the time CT the explosion and she was
hurled out of the door. She walked
down the elevation on which the build
ing stands and dropped down, to be car
ried away unconscious, suffering from
wounds from which she cannot recover.
John Smith was fatally burned. He
was literally disembowled and was
taken to the hospital to die.
The missing men are doubtless all
dead
No trace can be found of any of them,
and, as they were employed at the top
of the elevator, their chances for escape
were but slight.
The names of the dead given were:
Samuel Alexander.
Bert Wainwright.
Fred Garrett.
Harold Parks.
John Smith.
Grace Parks.
Frank Van Housen.
John Carr.
The names of the injured given were:

The property and the grain is an en-
tire loss, and may probably reach be-
tween 100000 and $780, 900. The in
surance is $4,000 on the building and
the grain is covered with S25S, 700 in
