Transportation-Rail and Water.


AS a city that enjoys excellent trans
portation facilities Baltimore has many ad
vantages over her sister cities along tn
Atlantic seaboard. Its railroad terminalf
its grain elevators and its warehouse facii
tiles are exceptionally good. and they ar
being improved each year.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad is per
haps more closely associated with the his
tory of Baltimore than any other railroad
in the borders of the city or state. III.

The Baltimore and Ohio railroad has pro-
vided Baltimore with most excellent and
extraordinary facilities for its great exI
port trade. Among the other many shingl
that tend to expedite BALTIMORE expo4
business are three large Baltimore and ON

Merchants Help Baltimore.
This is an age or organized effort, and
the wonderful strides in material progress
made by the American people are largely
due to the genius Of that people for or
ganization. The captains of industry and
finance who have achieved notable success
In this country, have taken hold Of some
idea that had merit or utility, and then by
combining capital, labor and skill in an
organized effort, have rushed TO the goal Of
success In an almost incredibly short time
In large city peopled with progressive
business men, each individual enterprise is
seeking primarily its own success, but there
quickly becomes apparent the necessity for
united effort to attain those general results
or conditions which pertain to the advance
ment of the community as a whole, and In
which all classes have a greater or less in
terest.
1t was In response to this demand of the
times that the Merchants and Manufacture
ers' Association came into existence in 1880
just quarter of a century ago
From time to time various special trade
organizations have been formed but the
scope of their operations has been more
or less circumscribed by the particular in
terests they were intended to serve. The
Merchants and Manufacturers Association
however, on its inception, became a factor

The figures Indicate to a great extent the
proportion in which Baltimore represents
the manufactures of the state. In reality,
Baltimore absorbs a larger proportion OF
the manufactures of Maryland than the
table indicates, because there are many
large industries located adjacent to the
city, but being outside the city limits, were

Baltimore as a Manufacturing City.
Baltimore being the metropolis OF Mary
land It is only natural that the manufac-
turing industries of the city and it's en-
virons should represent in many lines In
value and quantity nearly the whole prod
uct for the state. Governmental investi-
cation establishes this for a fact
The Industries OF the province of Mary
land were localized largely In and near the
city Of Baltimore. which was founded in
1729, and the same locaiixation Is shown at
the present census.

the hours of / and 3 O'Clock this aft.

after the fire broke out almost the en-.
tire building was filed and being
eaten by the flames The plant WAS
built at cost of about $500, 600
and was insured for 5000, 900.
The fire started in an unacconnt-
able manner between two rolls at
the elevator in the roll room. The
flames were discovered by Arthur Al.
drioh. the roll helper. He came
running out of the building and gave
the alarm to Louis Neff. LUX Shanks
and man named Gibson. The gen.
eral fire alarm was sounded and all
the workmen hurried from the mill.
Neff. shants and Gibson poured
water onto the flames which by this
time had gained rapid hesdway. No
sooner had the water been played onto
the fire than it lesped to the floor
above. No one seems to know how
the fire started and its origin may
never be known. There is no fire
kept in that particular department.
will Bowles aud Charles Robinson
were working on the top floor OF the
ioll room when the flames were first
discovered and they slid down to the
first floor on the steam pipes by their
hands, alightng on the hot boilers
on the first floor. They received bad
ly scalded hands.
The mill was built about six years
ago and operated nearly every day
since. 1t treated about 1876 or 100
tons of Cripple Greek ore per day.
The flames reached the tank room
on the opposite eide of the point
where the fire started in less than an
hour after the blaze started. The
flames went through the monstrous
structure like lightning and all the
different departments were filed with
fre and black. dense smoke.
