| Ford automobile turned turtle with them
on the main highway near Orange Center

serious injury, although pinned beneath
the car. Mrs. Mason jenkins, an elderly
woman residing in Barre Town, was the
most hurt, but she is thought to have
| escaped with long cut over the bridge
of the nose in spite OF the fact that she
raised some blood that might indicate in
ternal injury. Mr.. Jenkins, Mrs. Jenkins
and George Golden of Graniteville, who
was driving the car, were bruised and
considerably shaken up.
The car, which is numbered II, ,793 and
is registered in Mr.. Goldens name, was
descending a hill just west of Orange
village and was rounding a curve, when
it veered TO the right and into the ditch
It ran but a few feet with the right
wheels on the bank, when it struck
pile of large rocks and was thrown bot
tomside up so that it rested crosswise
of the road. The force of the' collision
was such that large rock was moved
frsn its base. Mr.. Golden was able to
crawl out from beneath the machine, as
one end rested on the slightly raised en-
baakment, and eventually the others
We're removed from their Imprisonment.
Mrs Jenkins lost considerable blood
from the cut on her nose. and all of them

urday afternoon for their annual outing.

suburban train leaving at 1885 o'clock,
while others made the trip to the grounds
in autos and teams. There was an abun-
dance of refreshments, and much merri-
ment prevailed from the time the crowd
arrived until a special train leaving the
park at 7:l5 o'clock brought most of
them back to the city. A resourceful
committee-in-c charge saw to it that
amusement was provided for old and
young alike, and it is easy to say that
no one wanted for excitement or recrea-
tion. An orchestra from this city played
for dancing in the pavilion
Interest naturally centered around a
baseball game with benedicts captained
by Richard Attridge and bachelors by
Paul Bianchi as the contenders. In five
innings of red-hot baseball, the plum
went to the single men by the score of
Z to 6. Attridge and McKane did the
battery work for the defeated team, and
Nicora and Mcdonald were in the points
for the winners. Boxes of candy and
crackerjack were awarded the children in
their impromptu races, and more sub
stantial favors were distributed to win

between heads Of all departments here
said:
"Thirteen brick storage warehouses out
of the - owned and operated by the Ma
tional Storage company and six piers

to the Lehigh Valley road were de-
stroyed. Several others of the brick
warehouses were badly damaged and
some minor damage was done TO the Le-
high Valley grain elevators. In addition,
as far as is known, So loaded cars were
destroyed.
According 10 the evidence obtained by
officials OF the railroad company the fire
started at laos this Sunday morning in
a barge belonging 20 an independent tow
ing company which had been moored
alongside the railroad company's dock ex-
pressly against orders.
M. +. Hanley, night general yardmas-
ter for the New York division of the Le-
high Valley railroad, was on the pier
when the fire started. He said the ex-
plosion, which occurred at 2:0s. was in
the barge where the fire started"
Mr. Hanley's first thought was TO re.
move the loaded cars on the pier from
the danger zone, 1e said that when he
reached the end of the pier the barge was
burning fercely all over and the fire was
beginning TO communicate itself TO some
of the cars nearest the barge.

at has not as yet been definitely de-
termined Just what the money loss will
be. Some 10000 tons of raw sugar val
ued at approximately s3.400,o00, is
known to be lost II is believed that the
other contents of the warehouses de-
stroyed will greatly increase this amount.
There were no explosives stored in the
warehouses and in only two of the cars
destroyed. These were loaded with |
shrapnel, which would not have been a
source of danger but for outside fire. The
,ther cars destroyed were loaded prin-
'ipally with salt and pork.
The scene of the exf !osion and fire is
n no way adjacent to the main passen-
,er and freight terminals of the Lehigh
Valley railroad at either New York or
