Beam Protects Them From
Being Crushed by
the Bricks.

Two men of the Engineer Corps, Unit

yesterday while dynamiting a buildi &
at Turk street, near Taylor. The walls
of the Mccormick Hotel crashed in
while Sergeant C. f. Roboins and Pri-
vate ]. Litherland were attempting %
place a second charge inside the ruined
building. An avalanche Of bricks ard
iron beams fell upon the two men.
Fortunately one of the beams fell in
such a manner as to partly protect the
men from the mass OF debris. Their
comrades Immediately set to work dig
ging them out. Robbins was injured in
ternally and terribly bruised. He may
die. Litherland was cut and bruised
from head to foot. but not fatally hurt
The men were removed to the General
Hospital at the Preside.
The dynamiting operations along
Turk street were being conducted un-
der the direction of Captain Walker Of
the Engineer Corps. A light charge
was exploded under the tottering wall
Of the Mccormick building. The sx-
plosion failed to level 1t and another
charge was ordered.
Robbins and Litherland went into the
ruins and began to set the charge in
place. Suddenly there was a cry.
Look out, there she goes!" and the
wall moved inward.
The two men scrambled toward ths
doorway. But the mass of iron ard
/ brick dropped upon them with a ter
rife crash and the pair were buried
under the avalanche. Before the dust
had been scattered the rest Of the en-
gineers We're at work tearing at the
bricks with their hands and shoveling
the debris away with feverish haste.
Somewhere under the pile they could
hear Litherland shouting, and the
sound caused them to redouble their ef-
forts. They shouted back encourage
ment and worked the harder. The
ranks of the rescuers were increased
every minute by volunteers.
IN about quarter of all hour the en-
tombed men We're reached. They were
in little cave formed by beam which
had fallen diagonally, protecting them
from the mass OF bricks.
Robbins was unconscious, but revive
slightly when carried into the air. He

In the field of railroad building there
is nothing more daring and inspiring
than this undertaking of Henry NJ.
F1agler, as reported by Frederic b.
Warren in The Technical World for
Nav. If successful it will mark the

More than five miles of tremendous

Henry NJ. Flagler, muitimilllona1re,
sometimes called the liking of Flo
rida,' dreamed of it one January aft
ernoon. as he sat under the palms that
grow about his sub-tropical home. Be
come true, he woke up, and set mul-
titude of men to work. Already the
road is fast being constructed. Within
three years you may board sleeping
car in Chicago and never leave it until
the engine whistles for Havana, Cuba.
The average cost of extending Mr..
FIagler's East Coast railroad system
over the southern keys and islands to
the city of Key West, will be $685.

its originator hopes in the near future
to enable passengers to ride from Amer
lean cities to the pretty, palm-shaded

Recognizing the Importance and vol

future freight-carrying outlook, Mr.
Flagler has long been planning the
extension of his railroad from Miami
to some point where a deep, roomy
harbor would accommodate ships draw
ing more water than is afforded at
Miami. From this latter port it is l65
miles by boat to Key West and 24o

Key West to the Cuban capital.
