Fire Wreaks 100000 Damage to
Maryland College, LutherVille,
Where She Was a Student

Miss Margaret Walls, daughter of
Senator and Mrs. Edward G. Walls,
of this town, was one of a hundred
or more students who had thrilling
experience at Maryland College for
Women at Lutherville. Md, shortly
after midnight Monday night when
the main building was completely
destroyed by fire, entailing loss of
about 100000. Miss Walls tele-
phoned home that she escaped and
latter took the afternoon train for
Smyrna accompanied by Miss Gladys
Freeman, of Erie, Pa, one of her
classmates. Miss Freeman s parents
are spending the winter in the West
Indies. Miss Walls as soon as the
alarm was given, had the presence
of mind to gather all she could of
her belongings, stuffed them care
lessIy in her trunk, threw the trunk
out of her window and then made her
escape. The force of the fall did
not hurt the trunk and she saved
most everything. Many of the
other girls lost everything. One
young lady. Miss Mabel Richardson,
lost more than $1,000 worth of dia-
monds and other jewelry. DR..
Charles W. Gallagher, the owner of
the school, who had his residence in
the building lost practically every
thing. Parr of his loss is covered
by insurance. The fire started al

used for class rooms and sleeping
quarters. There is no dormitory, the
students being quartered in private
rooms, in numbers ranging from ont
to several in a room. Leading from
the chemistry room to the upper foo
is a waste paper chute and up thi
wooden shaft the flames ate thei
way with remarkable$ rapidity. A
soon as the cracking of the flame
and the odor of smoke had awakene
one of the students, the alarm wa
sounded and all the girls made rus
for the stairway leading to the frs
floor. The 90 young women asleep i
their room directly over the fire ha
thrilling escapes from the flames
all of them making their exit frol
the building scantily clad in dressin
gowns and kimonas. Many of tn
students before making their das
for safety, threw their clothes fro
the windows and then when they hs
reached the outside of the buildir
gathered them up. In this We
they were able to save their wearir
apparel, valuables and other trinke
dear to the feminine hearts. Tt
college is undenominational and o.
of the most widely known instit
tions for young women in this pa
of the country. The college ow

which are harmonious in archite

DROP IN MUSKRAT HIDES
Owing to Lateness of Fur Season PeIts
Drop to 80 Cents Each.

Muskrats are still being trapped
as a big business in the eastern Sec
tion of this State,' but there are re-
ports that the business has fallen off
in rich yields. by reason of drop in
the offer for skins. 1t is believed
that because of the lateness of the
fur season the wholesale price has
dropped, but many of the trappers
are sun-drying the pelts and refus-
ing to accept the thirty cents now
offered by local dealers who were
paying sixty, seventy and eighty
cents rly in the year.
