could be heard. The Pullman conductor
was lying over one of my outstretched
arms crying out that his back was
broken. Practically all his ribs were
found to be broken. The colored porter
was lying face downward near my feet,
shrieking from pains in his legs
One of the wreck stories was that o1
a mother who held a six-months-old
baby in her arms. Both her ankles were
broken but the baby came through un-

When the rellet train reacned Atlantic

children who had been in the wreck but
escaped injury walked out of the train
and was smilingly greeted by relatives.
A huge crane was sent to Winslow
Junction to raise the pyranided railroad

ton on a concrete bridge over the Penn
sylvania tracks and the position was
such a precarious one coupled with the
tremendous weight of the steel cars. that

lieved in Ruins.
Underwood & Underwood.

swept the Locust Point river front of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad last night
caused damage estimated by the COM
pany at s4,s04.900 and seriously threat

Two elevators containing 1924, 900
bushels of grain, two warehouses and
piers loaded with merchandise, a power
house, drying shed. barges and other
structures crumbled within a furnace
that stretched along the waterfront over
an area of six city blocks. Two firemen
were severely injured by falling debris
While there was apparently no founda-
tion for 1t, rumor persisted this morn
ing that probably dozen or more negro
workmen were buried beneath the ruins
OF elevator B.
When 1t was seen that Fort McHenry
abled veterans of the World War there
were evacuated as fast as army and
police ambulances could remove them.
They were taken to a public school
nearby. Half a dozen ships were tied
up at the piers. All were. removed in
safety. but at considerable risk to the
rescuers.
To-day the Western Maryland Rail-
road Company offered to the Baltimore
& Ohio the use of its elevators until
those destroyed have been replaced.
Already plans are being formulated for
the proposed new structures
Discussing the companys loss to-day.
President Willard said: The facts are
that we have lost two elevators. the old
coffee warehouses and what was known
as Pier 2: all these were burned. The
loss has been published as 5000, 900, We
haven't any idea what it really was
SO let 1t go at that for the present. In
time this will be accurately ascertained
and the insurance will be adjusted"

French crepe are used as the foui,-
dation material and even the ordinary
cotton crepe Is worked up for this

the transparent French crepcs are eX-
