mysterious origin.
The tracks OF the Brandywine
Springs line OF the Wilmington and
Philadelphia Traction Company are in
IGreenhill avenue, directly in front Of
the plant, and during the fire II was
necessary TO re-route the cars on that
line. The cars were run over the
West Fourth street tracks, at Front
street and Greenhlll avenue, and from
there to dupont street, TO seventh,
and into this city by the regular
route.
The West Fourth street and Brandy
wine Springs trolley cars carried
thousands 10 the scene after the sec
Ond alarm had been sent in. The glare
OF the fire was witnessed by persons
within a radius OF fourteen TO twenty
miles. The telephones leading into
the police station were choked with
calls
The railroad bridges across the b.
and o railroad tracks at Front
street, Fourth street, Sixth and other
streets, were banked with spectators.
The falling electric light wires short
clrcuited the current along Lancaster
avenue As a result that section was
in darkness during the night. z
When word reached the police sta
ton indicating the seriousness OF the
blaze, Sergeant CrOzier and .uad
OF men were sent there at once 10
keep the crowds back so that the fire
men might not be hampered in their
work. They were relieved at 7.30
o'clock by Sergeant DOnohoe and a
squad, who remained on duty all
night.
owing TO the difficulty the flremen
met in breaking In the windows. Mo-
/ torcycle Oflcer Mcdaniel secured a
