ELEVATED ROAD TWISTED Up
SUPPORTS FOR TRACKS AND GIRDERS
BURNED IN THE wRECKAGE

For hundred feet north from warren-s+
the elevated railroad structure on the down
town side presents the appearance Of a huge
pile OF gigantic jackstraws The stairway. the
ticket Office and all the superstructlre upon the
platform are crushed fiat and mingled with the
debris Of the Tarrant Building. which is piled
on top OF the track. a jumbled heap Of bricks
and timber, In succession Of hiIIocks
The tracks and roadbed cannot he seen for
they are sandwiched in between the wreckage
above and below them. The girders and sun
porters 10 all appearances withstood the shocks
Of the explosions and the falling OF the building
The upright supports and the iron frames un-
derneath and on each side Of the tracks seem to
have remained firm and not to have been weak
ened TO any appreciabe extent At only one
point just beyond Warren and Greenwich sts
the superstructure was smashed in There one
end Of a broken section Of track dips down into
the street.
The chief damage at this point was in the
sweeping away of the rooted stairway and the
house containing the office and waiting rooms
the platform. These caught fire a moment
after the first explosion. and almost instantly
all the woodwork platform, shed and ties were
ablaze
The employees Of the road received warning
from the first explosion. and left the station.
BY great good fortune trains on both the uptown
and downtown tracks had left the Warren-st
station bound north and south a short time be
fore the first explosion BY that time the flames
were shooting across the street and the engi-
neers of trains bound in both directions stopped
long before they reached the danger zone
When the terrific detonation which preceded
the falling Of the building came the burning
house on the platform was blown into splinters
and the falling walls completed the destruction.
Everything wooden went down with the ava

GIRL BLOCKED THE LADDER.
HER MODESTY CAME NEAR COSTING A
NUMBER OF LIVES.

A modest factory girl blocked the fire escape of
the Tarrant building with such obstinacy just
before the first explosion that more than
a dozen boys and girls came within a hairs
breadth of losing their lives. The story is told
by clerk employed by the big tea and coffee
firm Of "Opens, Smith & Wiemann, whose stores
just opposite, in warren-st. The clerk
asked that his name be withheld, because he
fears that at some future time he may again
meet the modest maiden. In telling the story to
a Tribune reporter, the clerk said
When heard the fire alarm I rushed out
into Warren-st I then saw smoke slowly issu-
ing from the windows of the fifth floor of the
Tarrant building. The windows of the second
floor were filled with almost a score of boys and
girls screaming for help. They were employed
by the NJ. J. Breitenbach Company. Those who
were in the street yelled back. some one thing,
some another.
Get the ladder that goes on the fire escape
and throw it out.' I yelled. A man heard me
and yelled back: It's too heavy. Well have to
jump!
Don't jump" I yelled Throw out the lad
der. Then I saw a woman, of medium height
but of muscular build, run toward the hre
escape. STOPPING down. she lifted the ladder as
with superhuman strength. The boys and girls
came TO her aid. and they pushed the ladder out
into the alley in the rear The woman nave
often seen. and believe her TO be the fOrewornan
not come down first but mouoned to one OF the
girls. l holding the ladder at the bottom
as it would have slipped with no one to steady
it. The girls piled out on the ladder. and were
coming down rung after rung when the one low
est down cried out:
You wicked mani Go way from that lad
der You ought to be ashamed.
If l let go you will fall I cried, looking
straight down the street
No; but you go way
The roar of the flames now became so loud
that I could not hear what the girl was SAYING
I did not know what to do. The girl would not
come down unless I went away from the ladder,
and if I did the ladder would fall. Several deep
rumbling sounds were now heard, and the young
women and boys on the ladder shrieked with
terror. All were imploring the girl to go down,
but she stood stock still and only kept screaming
at
BY this time the first fire engine arrived, and
a fireman with big voice which could be heard
| high above the noise of tumult roared out;
Come down. young woman; the lives Of those
people are more important than your modesty.
Come down, or I'll come up and pull you down.
The girl gave little scream and came down
all the rest of the ladder with almost one drop.
The rest followed, and the last girl had just
left the ladder when the first explosion burst
forth. The great walls swayed like a child $
block house, and began 10 crumble We all
made our escape down Warren-st- TO the water

RorHscHILD AGREES WITH DURHAM,
ANOTHER BRITISH TURF. PATRON AGAINST
AMERICAN JOCKEYS.

London. Oct 30.-Leopold de Rothschild has a
long letter in The Times" this morning the
subject Of doping" horses. He gives an extract
from letter from an influential member Of the
American Jockey Club dealing with aspects Of
the question presented in the United States.
There is no positive proof" he says, that
doping has been practised in England, although
the extraordinary Improvement made by horses
which had been trained by Americans led 10 the
supposition that it had. It remains to be seen
whether it will be necessary for the Jockey Club
10 pass rule similar TO the one in force in
America.
I am not in a position TO say whether Lord
Durham has still further evidence in his pos
session. but I feel convinced that energetic
measures ought 20 be taken TO remedy the pres
ent unsatisfactory condition Of the turf.
so far as American jockeys are concerned
they may be quite honest as regards doing thelr
best 10 win, but they are certainly very lax III
other ways Hitherto the stewards have been
reluctant to deal harshly with foreign jockeys
as the latter might not be quite Conversant with
the ways and habits of the English turf; but
personally think that If one or two Of the Chlef
offenders were severely dealt with the others
would be arnenable to reason.
I do not venture opinion on Lord Dur
hams charges as to pulling horses, but the
matter ought to be investigated, so as 10 clear
the reputation of the Jockeys if they are inno-
cent. If they guilty no mercy should be
shown them"
