FLAMES DESTROY FERRY

ISO Firemen Injured—Negro Por

Philadelphia. Jan. 4.—Two of the
moat spectacular fires ever seen in this
so.tion of the country swept away more
| than a million dollars' worth of prop
erty in t'iiis city and Camden yester
day.
The big ferry terminal of tiio Read
ng railway at Kaighn's Point, Cam

phiuns have passed oq their way to the
seashore, was burned to the ground by
flames which are sup, osed to have
■>eeu started by a carelessly rti vai'de I
■igar butt. Adjoining the ferry house
the immense woodworking miii of 3.
Cole's Sons was also destroyed, while
• b./.ens ef passenger coaches in the tor
n nal sheds werr burned to their trucks.
The other tire leveled the large lum
ber yard of < barles Kste Company, on
Glen wood avenue, between Nineteenth
and Tnonty-first streets, this city, also
burning out the fronts of a row of
house- a-ross the street ami scorching
dwellings for squares. The tire engine
o'" Company No. 45. which ventured too
near -.he 'bia.'.e. o«< also consumed iu
• .ie flames and left a tangleil mass of
I machinery.
Nearly ]OO firemen were overcome
! ii.v smoke or singed by the flames at
j the Kste fire. A do en ambnlam-es were
in the s(>ot and ilie .io-tors and nurses
were kept busy for hours treating tho
• injured, none of w.iom, however, was
seriously hurt.
> xty firemen were also treatei at the
t ir.ndeii tire, and it r» believed that one
man, John '. Brown, of Lawnaide, X.
■!.. may have met bis ileath in the
•'laze, as no trace of him could be
found after the tire. Brown was a negro
, orter at the ferry house.
Both blades were fanned bv high

rouble, burning for manv hours. The

WORK OF CITY'S ABIE AND
Wlffl BSUCT IS OUTLINED
Th« Organisation'* Object Is Nit Char
ity But ta FmMi Wotk For
the Naedy and B«Ueva the War
Victims
Wr«* Christmas and Now Ttw's
! jrait. renewed activities were begun to
day br tie Heme and War Belief com
mittee. Although the committee a
j hetdquartera, at 7 South Front street.
were closed for several days around
s the holidays, they have been a busy
place since the opening oif the rooms
OP December 19. A large nu-mlber ot
! women have made application for work
i dr-riaj the lav! two we?ks, and the eom
i mittee has been libla to supply regular
! aj»d et«udy work to all who were de
i serving *ad who needed it.
Sp maay inquiries have been made
i at be»d()Uarteia and from members ot
' the committee as to just what is the
; object of the committee's work, its
i scope, character and kind of relief to
be afforded, that the executive board
fcts decided »f;ain to outline the relief
work which has beea undertaken here
eo th»; the public may be fully infroin
ed about it.
The Home and War Relief commit
tee of Harrisburg is only one of hun
dred's of similar organisations now be
iug formed thrw the United
States. There is now hardhr a city of
any site which has not some such relief
organization, whatever the local name
may be. Uarrisburg % committee is
composed of men turd women from all
parts «f the eitv who are interested in
and are working for, the relief of those
who are in need at home, and those who
are suffering from the effects of the
war abroad. The committee desires to
emphasize the relative importance of
the i rork which it has undertaken. and
it believes that its title best typifies
this importance. Most important of
is home relief; therefore, that is
the first pari of the committee's name
and work. The next important work
j is foreign relief, and the committee is,
; therefore, known as the Home and War
i Relief committee.
Thus its object, a twofold one, is re
lief work, not charity. There are just
now many people here at home who are
in need, and do not seek charity, but
seek work, and are willing to wori. It
is to assist such and to provide work
for the women, when it is not to be
had by men. that the committee hopes,
j to tide deserving families now iu need
! over the crisis and thus afford tem-1
] porarv roliett". The work knows neither j
i creed nor ctecs. It is neutral anil non
l sectarian. It aims to help a'.'i who arc
I in need of temporary relief and to in
| jure none.
' The work of the committee is car
; ried on by four divisions: (1) Owieral!
I Sppply Division: (21 Home Relief Divi
■ sion; (3) Red Cross Division; (4) For
! eign Division.
The supply division purchases mer-
I chandise and raw materials from the k>-
| cal merchants and factories, and
| through the courtesy of the B'ouis;ii
| Manui'ueturing Company, has all oi the
garments cut and rcidy for distribution
| by the home department. It acts as a
I kind of general store for ail the divi
; sions, and it aims to keep all merehan-
I dise which is necessary to this work,
j The home division receives a; plica
, tions far work from women whose hus
bands, fathers and sons are out of em
ployment. and whose families are in
! temporary need. It gives out work to
I all who ask for it and are found de
serving, and it pays fair living wages
for the sewing which is given out.
i More than one hundred a.ad fifty women
I have applied for and received work
j in the ten days the rooms have been
| open, and the great eagerness to do
, this work shows the need for it to be
great. Just as many people will bo
I supplied with work and just as many
j will be £iven relief as circumstances
will permit.
The Red Cross division follows the
I work of the Red Cross Society through
out the world, collecting funds for sur
gical and medical aid and *u; ; iie«.
The foreign division will give such
relief to the sufferers abroad as is pos
sible, though the relief work here at
| home is considered of first importance.
To supylv work and clothing to the
' nee ly in Harris burg, to furnish Red
> Cross necessities, pml to help to relieve
; the wounded and suffering in European
: hospitals, one thing is need. a:vd that
j is money. The committee's labors will
j be greatly restricted ac 1 limited unless
tiit people of Harrisburg help by giv
iflij iu generously as they eai> to this
j deserving work. The committee, there-
I fore, asks every citizen to do what he
| or she can, to give what each can, and
to help as each can. The committee
. believes that Harrisburg will do its
part to relieve the unfortunates a\
I home aad the sufferers abroad. But to
accomplish this the co-operation of
every man, woman, child and eonpora
, tion is needed. Money will be- directly
| applied to relief. The house in which
j the headquarters of the committee are
held has been donated by the owner,
Mrs. Herbert L. Clark. There are prae
j tieaily no running expenses, and as lit
tle red tape as is possible.
The committee hopes for generous
I contributions, which should be sent at
j once to John F. Sweeney, treasurer,
| care Mechanics Trust Company. *
