PERIL LURKS
 NEAR WORK OF WRECKINC CREW
Swinging. Between Two Cranes, Mass of Debris Ties Up Signal Wires. Flagmen Rushed Out to Protect Approaching Traffic Until Repairs Are Quickly Made.

While the two wrecking trains at work near the viaduct were in the midst of their operations yesterday, traffic on all tracks of the main line was imperilled for few moments suddenly when the signal wires eX- tending from the tower at the wreck were thrown temporarily out of kill ter.
 Two sections of wreckage that were difficult to handle by reason of their bUlkineSS were carried away to the big fire near Burr Road by suspend ing them from the cranes of the two wrecking derricks.
 To haul the wreckage away it was necessary to operate the engines of the two trains in almost perfect unison. To. drive the wreckers too close, or to separate them meant that the mass of debris would crash from the derricks on the tracks.
 The stuff swinging between the derricks dropped few feet when one of the chains slipped, and a corner of the mass, jutting out, caught the pipes encasing the signal wires.
 In an instant the wreckers realized the seriousness of the happening, and rushed flagmen out in both directions to guard all tracks until the repairs which took but a short time, were completed. Traffic was not delayed, for the tie up of the signal system proved to be short lived.

Banker CIephane Promises Checks
 For Brave Men

John w. Clephane, a banker of Chevy Chase, Md. whose wife and two children, Beatrice, aged 13, and John w, aged II months, were res cued from the wreck of the Federal Express on Tuesday, visited the City Hall this morning to see Mayor Buck ingham, and through him to thank the police and fire departments for the heroic work they completed at the wreck. Mrs. Clephane and her two children were sleeping at the time of the crash and were pulled from the wreckage by the rescuers. They were taken to the Bridgeport hospital sqf- fering from shock, but were uninjured MT. Clephane had accompanied his family as far as Philadelphia, but had gotton off at that city to go to At lantic City, his family continuing on to Boston. When MT. Clephane learn ed of the wreck he hurried to this city and was overjoyed to find that his family were among the living. He states that his wife speaks in glowing terms of the work of the police and firemen, especially of Patrolman Jack Barton. MT. Clephan stated that he intended to recognize the work of the police and firemen by sending a check to each association as soon he he re- turned to his home.
 As Mayor Buckingham was not in Bridgeport, MT. Clephane left a note expressing his most heartfelt grati- tude

She is Is, and with a robust constitution is rapidly recuper- ating. Internal injuries at first sus- pected have not materialized to any extent, and her recovery is confidently expected. . sstt5 Er4
 Little interest was manifested at the scene of the wreck today. This noon there were so few that there was no longer need for the squad of police. few railroad policemen remained to keep back curiosity seekers from the vicinity of the operations of the wrecking crew.
 Many shoes, hats and other articles bish strewing Railroad avenue, but nothing of value was unearthed.
 Except the locomotive the entire wreckage has been removed. Last night when the two wrecking crews ceased operations the wreck was thrown open to the scavengers who have been steadily depicting the piles of splintered timbers and sheathing, and junkmen who hauled away tons of shapeless metal pipes and fixtures. The heap of timberS tossed into a big fire by the wreckers near Burr Road yesterday continued to shoulder throughout the day.
 The, body of the locomotive is be- ing disjointed. and by night the pieces will have been hauled away for junk, on the flat cars of the wrecking train.
