FIvo alarms wero sent In from tho

A strong wind from the southeast got
behind the flames and In a few minutes
tho heat was so Intense firemen could
not get the horses back to tho engine
to draw It away. Members of tho com

paratus out of danger had to give . up
tho attempt and stagger through the
smoke to safety. Fow cases of broken

All traffic on several trolley lines and on

tination. Bows of houses In 20th street and in
Olenwood avenue were Ignited In Bplte of
the efforts of 26 engine companies to pro
tect them. Householders began to move
their goods Into tho streots, but this
hampered the firemen and the police stop
ped It.
Tho large number of men overcome at
the blaze was duo to the Intense heat and
smoke, tho slightest shifting of the breeze
resulting in several firemen toppling over.
In each Instance other firemen went back
and carried their fellows to safety. Ambu
lances with physicians from a dozen hos
pitals ranged themselves at various points
around the burning lumber yard and
nearly all the Injured or overcome were
treated on the scene.
Daring rescues of horses featurod tho
blaze. John Walz, night watchman at
tho lumber yard, and Henry Heine, tho
stable boss, who live together In a house
in the yard, heard 12 horses In the stable
near their ' dwelling whinnying. They
blindfolded tho animals and got 11 of them
Into the street and away from tho flames.
Another ran to the fence surrounding the
yard.
Policemen Crowe and Greenwood risked
their lives to chop a. hole In the fence
through which the animal passed to
safety.
Elmer Fishor, of 2500 North 20th street,
rescued his 4-year-old granddaughter,
Eleanor Fisher, from the second-story
rear room of lila home. By tho time he
got to tho room the bed was In flames.
Tho child was sleeping peacefully and
she did not wake up when Fisher car
ried her Into the street.
Householders in the section whose
homos were threatened by tho (lamen
made large pots of hot coffee for the
firemen and some of the women had to
be warned against getting too close to
the fire. The water thrown on somo of
tho houses froze and the streets In the
neighborhood nearly all were flooded and
then turned Into miniature frozen lakes
by the tons of water thrown into the
blaze.
The big furniture manufacturing plant
of Hale & Kllburn was threatened for
a time. The flro ate to within 25 or 3D
yards of It, but firemen, by desperate
massing of heavy water lines almost In
a solid row between the building and the
approaching flames, managed to prevent
the Ignition of tho plant.

Ills willingness to allow Johnson, a pro

plans for tho $8,000,000 reconstruction of

from administration adherents.
Thoy object to Johnson because ho has
been the perpctunl architect of the De

a contract executed with tho city under

when the Assistant Director was asked by

to stay on tho Job.
Wilson incurred Councils' displeasure
when ho officiated as Acting Director of
tho department during tho Illness of for

Tho first thing Sunday said was:

I want you to understand that I come

there's a lot of you rich people who

REVIVALS AND CIRCUSES.
"If Rlngllng Brothers circus camo to
town It would take more money out of
Philadelphia In a single day than the
cost of this entire campaign. And not a
person would raise a complaint. Itve
never been ablo to understand why a few
weeks' religious revival meotlngs aren't
as gooa ror a town any time as a circus.
"There Is positively nothing thnt I do or
nothing about my methods that I want
to hide. Everything I do Is entirely
above board."
The big cake pans were heavily loaded
with bills and coin after the ushers had
carried them through the audience. "When
they wero emptied Into dish pans, the
Finance Committee, headed by "William R.
Nicholson, had a Job counting It Thero
was more than $6000 In the collections
of the morning and afternoon meetings,
and In the evening the gifts wore In
creased to more than 7500.
TEN IN HOSPITAL.
The hospital had plenty to do during the
services yesterday. Dr. W. H. Shane, the
superintendent, treated 10 persons who
had fainted In the audlenco. One of these,
in mo evening, was a man wno had gone
to the tabernaclo 'with a half-Jag. "When
Doctor Shane brought him to his senses
ho said: '
"Boss, I'm through with that stuff
After wha,t I've heard about It tonight,
and being knocked out and letting It make
a fool of mo before this throng, I don't
ever intend to hit It again."
