ATLANTIC CITY FIRE
INTERESTED MANY HERE
Mrs. Henry aud Martha Grant, Mrs.
Job Il. Jackson and Mrs. kienle
Escaped

Atlantic City's blaze yesterday occa-
stoned more interest in Wilmington
than any event outside of this city for
years Thousands of people from
Wilmington visit tho resort every
year, and they were perfectly familiar
with the burned district.
The Evening Journal was tho first
paper to display a bulletin telling Of
the fire Crowds Immediately sur
rounded the bulletin boards and wait
ed anxiously for details. The Even
ing Journal received bulletins at FREE
uuent intervals, and they were posted
as soon as they reached the Office The
telephones were kept busy answering
calls from all parts of the city, as the
news quickly spread.
Hundreds of newsboys surrounded
the office waiting for the papers. When
these We're procured, the boys rushed
through the streets crying the news.
They had no trouble in disposing Of
the papers. and it was necessary 70
run extra editions to supply the de-
mand
Even after the papers we're out peo-
pie stood around the bulletin boards,
waiting for later reports Of the fire.
Many people were anxious. as they had
friends and relatives at the resort.
Mrs. Henry Grant and Mrs. Martha
Grant, OF No. 1104 Pennsylvania ave
nue., were guests in the Hotel Berkley,
which was destroyed by the fire. They
escaped in safety, with all their pos
sessions.

the sane. This rendered extra vigil
lance necessary on the part Of the
police. The members of the volunteer
fire department acted as special pO-
licemen, and Company l., National
Guard of New Jersey was called into
requisition to preserve order
Strenuous efforts were made by the
firemen to prevent the destruction Of
the Windsor Hotel, which was the last
to take fire. The wind had been IA
vorable to the fremen, but the wing
of the Windsor nearest the blazing
structures began to burn, and in the
course of half hour had been con-
sumed The flames, however, were
confined to this section of the build
ing. though the main portion Of the
hotel is badly damaged by smoke and
water.
Nothing is left of the boardwalk
from Illinois avenue to a point within
few feet of Young's Pier but the
iron supports. This is the portion of
the walk that is mostly used by prone
naders. The Dunlop hotel and the
Bleak House, massive brick structures
at Tennessee avenue and the beach,
were in grave danger when the con-
flagration was at its height. The en-
ployes of both houses played streams
of water upon the buildings from all
sides, and in this way doubtless pre-
vented the further spread Of the
flames.

in the Trenton tragedy. As a result
she attracted much attention. She
seemed to feel her position, and at
times was almost unable to control

Cause Of abandoning Project

The idea Of building a dam across
the Brandywine river at Washington
street has been abandoned. The last
freshot i'm that stream showed clearly
that It will be impraoticable. IL would
require a dam to be built twenty-four
feet high TO cope with the water, and
this would result in the flooding of
valuable property along the river The
old dam will be examined and may be
repaired.
According to calculations 1t would

thirteen feet high undor normal cir
cumstances. but the recent frcshe
showed a rise Of eleven feet above tha
