FIRST SURVIVOR
 TELLSHIS STORY
Sailor Said the Flames Spread Over Boat With
 Great Speed

Spring Lake, N. J.. Sept S-(U. P.)-A nexhausted sailor, first to land from a Morro Castle life boat, with seven other survivors from the blazing wreck, gave the first eyewitness account of the tragedy.
 He declined to give his name. but told hospital attendants how rapidly the flames struck through the body of the ship.
 "We were called out in the mid- dle of the night" he said. When we rushed upstairs to answer the general fire warning-like a gen. eral alarm on shore = the whole 'midships was blazing like fur mace. We couldn't get through the corridors because the whole ship was af1ame.
 I've ran along on the outside, smashing windows into the cabins. There would be a woman in this and a couple of passengers in the next, and we had to drag them out through the windows. It was a scene of confusion and excitement.
 "The lifeboats were on our side of the boat Apparently the main deck, where staterooms look out on the promenade). There were six of them. We got them off all right, but the men couldn't get the boats off on the other side. We carried 12 lifeboats altogether, and six of them were on our side."
 He couldn't say whether the spread. of the flames or the dan gerous list of the vessel made launching of the remaining life boats impossible.

 The real cause for the sharp break in the leading silver issue was an estimate on earnings far worse than had been anticipated. sThe latest estimate indicated earn ings for 1894 of around $7.50 a share, against earlier estimates of as much as $15 share. Recent moves: of the government to buy silver abroad have discouraged traders who had anticipated a steady rise in prices of silver shares with eventual government increase in it's domestic silver purchasing prices.
