here and rushed to the scene of the
wreck with DR.. George e. Kunkel in
charge, but it was not really needed.
Wreckage Over Four Tracks
When the Limited hit the draft,
four cars were thrown against an
other train eastbound, wrecking a
dozen freight cars and spreading the
wreckage over four tracks. Train No.
Is due in Harrisburg at 11.05 last
night was close to the wreck but was
stopped by ''the red" which flashed
when wreckage broke the signal wires
and set the danger signal. This east
bound train was made up of IS cars
including mail, express cars and empty
coaches.
Fireman Crusher
When the big locomotive plouehed
into the freight cars. it turned over
and rolled down the embankment.
Fireman Shope was crushed under
one Of the driving wheels. The enei-
ncer was also pinned fast under the
wreckage, but was rescued by MEM
bers of the freight and passenger
crews and sent to the Lewistown hos
pital
None of the steel cars turned over.
Every car was off the rails and bump
ed over the ties a distance of 100
yards. The passengers were helped to
a place of safety. and as soon as pos
sible their baggage was recovered and
placed on car and sent to Miffin.
Some OF the passengers were thrown
from their berths and received bruises
and others were cut by flying glass.
Going 5O-NIiIe Clip
Manhattan Limited known as train
No. 20. left Harrisburg last night at
9.39. The train was made up of ten
cars, including nine Pullman sleep
ers and one combination smoking and
baggage car. A Harrisburg train crew
was in charge of the coaches. The
crew included Fred c. Smith, 1914
North Sixth street, conductor: Norman
G. Stoner, 100 South Seventeenth
street, brakeman, and W. A. Kulp,
1926 North Sixth street, flagman.
The Limited was running at a speed
of so miles an hour. No flagman was
back to signal the fast express, ac-
cording to reports. The officials will
not state whether the signal was clear
at q tower 800 feet east of Mexico.
The engineer of the flyer is in an un-
conscious condition. and until he is
able to make a statement the blame
for the wreck cannot be placed, it is
believed by officials.
The wreck blocked traffic east and
west until 8 o'clock this morning.
The passengers on the Limited were
sent TO Mifflin where another train
was provided, and they went west
over the Lewistown and Sunbury
branch. All eastbound trains came
over the Lewistown branch to Sun
bury. and thence to Harrisburg over
the Northern Central line.

John c. Kinder sent in a second
alarm.
That the fire started in room No.
311, Fire Chief Kinder is positive,
but how and when it started is a ques-
tion which will probably remain un-
solved. j. f. Maher, of Reading, who
occupied the room during the night,
left the hotel at 4.30 o'clock this
morning, and said that he wanted to
catch an early train.
Athens George, proprietor of the
restaurant, slept in room No. 312 on
the fourth floor directly opposite the
one on which the fire started and
when called, aided in an effort to eX-
tinguish the flames.
The fire, however, had eaten its
way through the partitions of the
rooms on the west side of the fourth
floor and before it was eXtnguished
had gutted that section of the build
ing.
Much OF the damage on the sec
ond floor was done by smoke and
water and on the third floor. by fire
smoke and water. The damage to the
restaurant on the first floor, according
to Fire Chief Kinder will not reach
$1,000.
Cigaret Cause?
n lLenaWel, proprietor oil the motel
end of the firm, said that he believes
the fire started from a lighted cigaret
which had been thrown on the bed
accidentally. Fire Chief Kinder after
an investigation said he could not de-
termine the cause. as everything in the
room, except the brass bed and a steel
telephone had been destroyed.
Overcome by Smoke
Harry Stantoss, employed in the
restaurant, was overcome by smoke
while carrying out furniture from the
burning hotel, but was revived at the
hospital. He was dragged from the
building by Police Chauffeur Demma.
The property is owned by william
Jennings, and was leased by George
and Hemawei. George lost practic-
ally all of the clothing he had in his
room. but saved valuable diamond
stickpin, and a gold watch. Little of
any value was lost by any of the per-
sons in the room.
Traffic Held Up

ban lines of the Harrisburg Railways

company, was delayed for snort time
until officials arrived and relieved the
congestion. All of the cars running to
Oberlin on Allison Hill, and to Pax
tang and Hummelstown, stopped at
the subway and returned. Steelton
and Middletown cars were sent to
Market Square by way of Race street,
and special cars sent from Cameron
and Market streets to Cameron and
Hemlock streets, because of the number
of working men going to various
plants in the South Harrisburg and
Steelton. Many businessmen in the
city were late because of the changes
necessitated on the lines. Progress
Linglestown and Fourth street cars
stopped at Fourth and Market streets
Shortly after o'clock, the tracks
were cleared and all of the cars went
back on schedule time.
Covered by Insurance
The loss on both the hotel and res
taurant, is practically covered by
insurance, but the proprietors. are not
positive whether they will remodel the
place and start up again.
Mr.. George said this morning. that
he will in all probability continue his
business, but Mr.. HemaWei was not
positive what he will do. All of the
damage done in the restaurant with
the exception of a big plate glass win
dow which was smashed, was caused
by water, as the flames were kept
from reaching the second floor.

French Liner Is Sunk
by Raiding Submarine

Paris. March 10. A Havas dis
patch from Havre says that the
French Line steamship Louisiana sank
last night at II o'clock. All the crew
were saved. No passengers were
aboard. 1t is presumed that the vessel
was sunk by the same submarine that
has been operating along the coast be-
tween Boulogne and Havre and which
torpedoed the Hermatrice.
The Louisiana had arrived from New
Orleans, which port she left on Feb
ruary II, entering Newport News on
February II and leaving on the fol-
lowing day. The vessel was owned by
the Compagnie Generate Transatlan-
tique. She had for many years been
engaged in transatlantic passenger
service, mostly to ports in the Gulf of
Mexico.
The allusion in the above dispatch
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-03-10

to a submarine operating along the
English Channel between Boulogne
and Havre is the first word that has
been received here regarding the pres
ence of a hostile craft on that part OF
the French coast.
