D. 4, Harris burg, were badly burned nd had to be taken to the Harrlsbfrg hos pital for treatment. The next disastrous conflagration was at the City garage, wklch ex tends along River street, opposite the Public Library, from Walnut to Strawberry street, early In the morn ing of March 25. Seventy-five thou sand dollars damage was caused. C. K. Wolfe is proprietor of the gar age, and his loss was heavy. Fif teen new Bulck machines, owned by- George B. Zech, the local Bulck dealer, were destroyed besides sixty other machines stored in the build ing. The oiflce of the Remington Typewriter Company, In tho first floor, also sustained heavy damage. Paul Guyer, a fireman, belonging to the Royal Fire Company, was in jured .while fighting the flames. The building belonged to the Valley- Traction Company and is rebuilt. More tfian $3,500 was lost In a blaze which started in an oil stor age tank, m which is stored the oil feeding thff open hearths, at the Central Iron ftnd Steel Company. A spark from a passing locomotive fell into a shallow reservoir under the tank, igniting the oil that had drip ped there, and the heat caused the 35,000 gallons of oil in the tank to flame with a sudden blast, which brought hundreds to the scene. Brakcman Is Killed When a draft of two freight cars, about 1:30 o'clock in the morning of August 3, were switched into three oil cars on the SK hump in the Maclay street yards of the Penn sylvania railroad, the plugs from the oil cars were knocked loose, and the i naphtha which spurted out was ig- j nited from the lantern carried by- Albert Burkholder, 270 Peffer street, j the brakeman, who was riding the; draft of freight cars. The flames spread to other freight cars stand ing by, and the loss was consider able. Burkholder's clothes were saturated with the blazing naphtha and he died a few days later in the Harrisburg Hospital. The next person who fell a vic tim to fire in Harrisburg during 1918 lost her life in tho fire wjiich broke out in the rear of the cellar of Hor ace M. Witman's home at 2101 North Second street September 10, spread up the back stairs and de stroyed the rear of the house. Mrs. ! Laura Loekhart, the maid, who was sleeping in the tear room on the ! the third floor, was smothered to I death as she wakened from her j sleep. The remaining four occu- j pants of the house, Mr. W.itman and his three children, were saved only j through the heroic efforts of Leo, j Ralph and Frank Harris, who were ! staying with their mother next door, j and who brought a ladder in the i nick of time and rescued the im periled family from their precarious predicament. Thirty-five hundred dollars was the property loss. Oil Reservoir Blazes Tlie Harrisburg Pipe and Pipe : Bending Company was the scene of j another expensive fire September 15, I when the oil in a reservoir was ig- I nited, and 40,000 gallons of quench- | Ing oil, valued at $lO,OOO, went up; In flames. The fire was started when workmen giving hot steel the j quenching oir treatment to cool and j draw it, fed the steel too fast. The last fire of considerable pro portions occurred at the confection cry and tobacoo warehouse of Smith and Keffer, at 411 South Cameron street, December 21. where a fire of inexplicable origin swept the rear of the first floor and caused $B,OOO dam age to the stock and building. A sec ond fire was caused three days later, when a fuse blew out in the eleva tor mechanism, but little damage re- r i suited. With the exception of the small i Keffer blaze, the last three months j have been featured by an epidemic of false alarms and Insignificant | blazes which caused little damage, * j but kept the fire companies busy.
