Suc ceeds in Becovering the Cross— Ceremony Witnessed by Bulgarian Consul General, of Washington Fully 1,000 people were attracted to the banks of the Susquehanna river this morning to witness the services held by the Bulgarians. Macedonians Rni Armenians of the borough in com memoration of the baptism of Christ in the river Jordan, which had for its feature the throwing of a gilded cross far out into the channel and its recov ery by a strong son of the Balkans. A strong northwest wind made the river choppy and at the same time drove the chill air through the specta tors, some of whom were not attired sufficiently warm for the occasion. A small covered steamer was anchored near the boat landing at tbe foot of Francis street, and in this covered, boat were the contestants who had volun teered to swim the icy waters in the at tempt to recover the cross. too Stand Bareheaded Along Biver Standing near the boat, but on shore, with their shoes almost at the water's edge, were about 100 young Bulgarian and Macedonian men. each active, alert and bareheaded. In the center of this living wall stood the Rev. Nickolo Pavaloff. arrayed iu priestly robes, and close by his side stood Step hen Panaretoff. the Bulgarian Consul General, located at Washington, who and our Governor;" "Home Folks, and take part in the exercises. Along the outside of the group stood four standard bearers, one with the Stars and Stripes, another held aloft the red, white and blue striped flag of Bulgaria while the other two men sup ported small standards of the local Bul garian and Macedonian societies. The services at the bank of the riv er. which commenced at 10.30 o'clock, consumed about 25 minutes and consist ed of songs, chants and an address by the Rev. Mr. Pavaloff, after which the latter was taken into a row boat and poled about 50 years from shore when be tossed the gilded cross farther out into the channed. The flinging of the cross was the signal for the swimmers, and like porpoises they dashed into the water each making herculean efforts to outdistance the other in nearing the coveted prize. Harry Amphiegian, a sturdy Armenian, finally distanced the other men and siezing the cross, held it aloft, which was the signal for furious hand clapping by the hundreds on shore. The other contestants were Peter Jali neff. Stefan Sioanoff and Kostantin Iv Standoff. Biver Shore Crowded With Spectators Prior to the exercises at. the river, the Bulgarian church. North Front street, was crowded, when the Rev. Nickolo Pavallof held mass, whicn was attended by Stephen Panaretoff and his secretary, George Poulieff. A repre sentative of Bulgaria, named Mr. Shop off, whose business it is to travel over the United States and other eountries to locate and number the Bulgarians in those countries liable to military serv ice in the event Bulgaria decides to abandon her neutral position in the present European conflict, was also present. Consul General Stephen Panaretoff and his secretary, George Poulieff. ar rived in the borough last evening and were guests of honor at a big recep tion held by the Bulgarians and Mace donians in the Franklin street hall later in the evening. In a short address to his felloe coun trymen he complimented them on the evidence of progress whicjj he beheld in airiving in this section, and admon ished them to lead lives which would be a credit to their adopted country as becomes all true sons of the Balkans.

INTERESTING ADDRESS BY WILLIAM SMEDLEY OF PBIIA. Successful Organizer of Business In terests Entertained Local Mer chants in G. A. B. Hall Last Even The local G. A. R. hall was well fill ed last evening with representative business men of the borough to hear an adress by William Smedley, of Phil adelphia, organizer of the Retail Mer chants' Association of Pennsylvania, which now numbers about 150 affiliated branches and conducts one of the best mutual lire insurance companies in the State. The visitor confined his remarks to the relations of a business men's or ganization to its community and pre sented many original ideas for operat ing the association. W. H. Whitebread, secretary of the local association, ad vocated the erection of houses to rent for $lO aud sl2 per month for the use of the average workman, claiming that the borough had enough houses at the present renting for S2O and $25 fer month, which amounts are out of the reach of the unskilled workmen to pay. In commenting on this feature, 'Mr. Smedley related an Incident in this State where a business men's associa tion was instrumental in booming its town through the erection of goijd dwelling houses at reasonable rents. Other out-of-town visitors at last night's meeting were H. R. Harris and a (Mr. Marsh, the latter a representa tive of the Franklin Sugar Refining Company.

JANUARY 19, 1915. FfliL LOSS IS $100,000: NINE MEN HURT CMtlaaed Prw Ftrat !'»«*. Patrolman Seymour who turned in an ; alarm from Bos No. 212, Second and | Market. Botimiller than ran to a tele phone and called up David Kaufman, proprietor of the store, telling him he had discovered fire in the cellar near the elevator shaft. At 11.05 o'clock Fire Chief Kindler sent irt "two-twos" bringing two en gine companies, in addition to the ap paratus responding to the first alarm, and when the flames broke through the windows and shot out into the square, the chief sent "three-threes," a gen eral alarm, bringing out the entire de partment. When the first firemen got to the building san&ke could be seen at all of the windows but there was no glare of fire. However, before an improvised water tower, on the Mt. Vernon ladder truck, could be brought into play at the third floor windows of the ' centraJ building, a four-strocture, the flames came so close to the tower that it had to be moved back further from the building. Attacked From Many Sides The Hope Company, with its »te.im | er in front of the Bolton hotel, sent i a stream into the front windows of the second flaor. Other engine streams were i played on the flames both from the front and back. Streams also were play ed from the roof of Cross' drt»» store, Market street, and through fhe Cen tral Democratic Club's window which opens on a court at the north side of the Kaufman building, through an al leyway at the rear of the Kuhn Car pot Company building ami from the roof of the building of A. S. MeCreath & Son, 011 Market street. Streams also were played from the roofs of build ings to the south pi the fiercely burn ing structure. The group of Kaufman stores con sisted of a four-storv centra! Building with a three-story "building on each side. The central building was of brick with metal and glass, for dis play windows, in front. For an hour the tire seemed to be confined to the central Kaufman build ing, but then it spread to the one to the north. A wall between tbe north ern Kaufman building and the building of Solomon Kuhn, Market street and the square, halted the flames. It was 2 o'clock when it .was seen that the fire had spread to the cellar of the Pomeroy store to the south. A Stubborn Blaze This was the most stubborn Maze to fight. A partition runs down the cen ter of the basement. The firemen at tempted to flood the cellar, but that proved too slow a process and floor nozzles, which are operated from above the floor and spray the joints, were used both front and back with telling effect. When the fire was finally de clared ''under control,'' about 4 o'clock this-morning, the Pomerov cel lar was three-fourths full of water. The tire, though checked, was far from conquered at that hour. It was a hazardous fire to fight-and there were numerous irtjuries. Art&ur Patton, of the Reily Hose Company, was caught in the doorway of the Kaufman building as the glass started falling from the upper doors. He kept his position in the doorway, escaping serious injury, but received several small lacerations from living glass. Two members of the Good WiU Com pany,, William Smith and Harry Me- Intvre, were dragged over River street, when a branch pipe got away from them and received cuts and lacerations. Mclntyre was hurt about the shoulder. He was not seriously injured but Smith was taken to the Harrisburg hospital for treatment. Rescued Two Firemen P. Ellis and Robert Wilson, both of the Citizens Company, ventured into the front door of the Kaufman store at 3.30 o'clo k and fell through a bnrned space. Both were rescued by members of their company. Wilsou, who resides at 1113 Wallace street, was overcome by smoke before his compan ions got him to safety and he was taken to the Harrisburg hospital, where he was revived. Ellis slight!v hurt. Samuel Diener. 2010 North Sixth street, trod on a skvllflit ?n the root of the Kaufman store at 2 o'clock and was unconscious from inhaling smoke when members of his coinnanv rescued him. He was in such a serious condi tion that he was admitted to a ward in the Harrisburg hospital, nis condi tion was said to be much improved this morning aud it is expected lie will be sent to his home late to-day. Fireman Shoemaker Hurt in Fall George Shoemaker, 121 North street, a member of the Hope Company, slipped from a laddersnd fell twelve feet, re ceiving a severe bruise of the left side of his chest. Physicians in the Har risburg hospital strapped his chest to protect any possible fractured rios. He is a member-of the Governor's Troop and was prevented from taking part in the inaugural parade to-dav. Harry Corkle. 410 South River street, a member of the Paxton Com pany, was treated in the Harrisourg hospital for bruises about the head. He jumped from a guide wire at the rear of Kaufman 's store. Falling glass in the Pomeroy store this morning at 10 45 o'clock badly lac erated the left hand of Charles Flamer. 330 Kelker street, a member of the Reily Hose Company. He, too, was treated in the Harrisburg hospirai. A score of others received slight in juries or were affected by smoke and were treated bv their comraSw. The smoke was particularly bad because of the humidity of the atmosphere, which kept the fumes low. The city was filled with visitors here to attend the inauguration and hun dreds watched the blaze, but were kept in hand well by the police, who early established fire lines. It was an easy proposition to rope off a sufficient space for the firemen to work in because standards for ropes for to-day's parade had been placed yesterday by the City Highway Department. * Rope* were strung through these poles. Chief of Police Hutchison was in personal charge of this work. Losses on Market Street The fire -ssumed immense propor tions almost from the start a<nd all of the persons in ihe block facing Market street from Second to River streets en gaged in carrying o.it valuables. The damage to these properties and to the contents was principally from water and .smoke and will reach several thou sands of dollars, it is believed. The business of E. Z. Gross, drug gist, 119 Market street, was crippled to-day because of water. A stream was run through the building, above the store room, and water leaked into the ■first floor. When this occurred the many valuables were carried out. Wa ter to the depth of almost three feet flooded the basement and the entire How to Cure Rheumatism Here Is a prescription for rheuma tism (to be mixed at home) used all over the U.

Until this water is pumped out DO estimate of the damage can be given. Next door, 121 Market stret. a 'building owned and occupied by An drew S. MiCreath & Son, chemists, was ' damaged to some extend by water. Val uable electrical machinery in the base ment of this building was submerged, but how badly it was damaged cannot be tolil until the water is pumped out, according to a statement made this morning by Lesley iMcl'reath. During the worst of the blaze valuable chem ical apparatus and records were re moved from the upper stories of the McCreath building to places of safety. Compton's dye works' branch in this building, suffered no lqss be cause the contents of the store room were carried out. Water in the cellar of the Sol Kuhn & Co., Market Square and Market street, damaged a stock of carpets and rugs. Edward B. Black, dealer in art ists' materials, at 117 Market, places his loss from water and smoke at S6OO, The only other building in the block, at River and Market streets, occupied by Robberts & Meek, wholesale sta tioners, suffered but little, thiff due to water in the cellar. Firemen Handicapped for Room The Kaufman store occupied two en tire buildings on the plots, 4 and 6 South Market Square, and the top floors of the building at 8 South Market Square, in the ffFS* floor of which is the S. S. Pomeroy store. The ,-ibove the Pomeroy store is leased from Pomeroy. while the other buildings are the property of Mr. Kaufman. At the rear facing River street, the Kaufman | buildings eover all three lots. The firemen in River street wer« handi- I capped by the narrow space in whieh i they had to work. A small alleyway and a douUe wall separates the Pomeroy builil&ng from that owned and occupied, at 10 South Market Square, by Ellis Rolyrts. A | store room at the front is occupied by ,George W. Park-i, sewing machine deal- I er. The principal damage to this prop erty was frcm smoke, but little water I getting into the basement. N'o damage 1 was done to the adjoining building, to j the south, which is occupied by the Harris-burg Railways Company for its I offices and waiting rooms. Ifcivid Kaufman, proprietor of the | Kaufman Underselling stores, this j morning opened teni|>oraj-y offices iu the store room of Joseph Claster, 6 1-2 North Market Square. He will seek [ a temporary location at once and begin planning a new store. Kaufman said: Kaufman Will Rebuild j "I ask the indulgence of the public i until my plans con be made. You can | say for me that I will rebuild and big ger and better than before. I wish to thank the many persons who have of : fered their services to me this morning and I also want to thank the firemen for their splendid work. "Insurance men have the lists on both building and contents but it will ; not cover the loss. 1 have not made an investigation as yet, but the store looks to me from the outside like a to ! tal loss."' Fire Chief Kindlor at noon to-day s aiti that he believed the total loss on the fire would i>e more than 155.000. The walls of the two buildings 'owned by Kaufman are standing but the-floors and roof have fallen into the basement. That part of the store, which was over the storeroom ofvS. SJ. Pomeroy, alone is standing but the contents are water soaked. That was the ladies' suit de partment. • Pomeroy Stock Ruined The Pomeroy store is water-soaked from top to bottom.-Pomeroy could not estimate his lo«s to-day as it was im j possible to make any sort of inventory, but it iwill he almost a total loss as 1 firemen who were engage I iu lighting the blaze say that about the only thing | saved is the canned goods. Fir? Chief Kindler at 12.30 o'clock this afternoon, ordered the Susquehan l na and Citizens engines back to quar j tors. Both were on the north side of Market street, the former at Front and Market, in front of the Harrisburg j Club, and the Citizens engine in front lof the Senate. This made possible the 1 removal of the last hose lines from ; across Market street and left the way j open for the inaugural parade. The fire apparatus that remained after 12.30 o'clock was out of the tine of march. |THOUSANDS OF PHONE CALLS TO LEAKN OF FIRE The following was issued to-day by S. B. Watts, local manager of the Bell Telephone Company: "I have heard from some-of our sulbscribers that they were delayed in their calls to the exchange last night when they sought to ascertain the lo i cation of the fire. Unfortunately, one j of those subscribers who was delayed was David Kaufman, owner of the j building that burned. ".If we could only convince our sub- I scribers that it is physically impossible | for us promptly to answer aM the fire j calls that are received after a general i alarm is sent in, the people who have! real need for telephone service at that | time would get the service that they I should have. I>ast night, for instance, j when the alarm sounded our regular night force of six operators win on duty i Under ordinary circumstances we do j not need six operators ail night, but in order partly to provide for emergencies we have that number of operators on duty. Properly to take care of the thou sands of calls that came in last night, after the general alarm was sounded, and to give all the service that they are accustomed to receive during the day would have required a force of six ty or seventy-five operators. Of course, any one after a moment's thought will understand that it would be impossible for us to maintain, after night, a force sufficiently large t6 meet such emergencies as arose last night and which might arise once or twice a year. "What we regret more than any thing else is that people who do have £ legitimate need for telephone service at such times are delayed. It sometimes eomes to our notice that people are call ing for their physicians at such times, and, of coarse, it is impossible for the operators to distinguish between such calls and what we term 'curiosity calls.' The result is a delav in getting •the call through to the doctor. "If the subscribers will only use the telephone on such occasions when they have a real need for them we would be able promptly to handle their calls and everybody would be happy."

BRUMBAUGH BECOMES GOVERNOR TO-DAY Caadnuril From First Pace inaugural ceremony at the Capitol cloned the crowds of thousands swarm ed down into the business section just like bees. There was a mad dash for a good pla.'e from which to see the parade it was but a matter of a few min utes until the river front was literally flooded with humanity. The best of order was maintained by the police prior to and during the pa rade. The streets were roped off at an early hour. The fire at the Kaufman store, on Market Square, was an added attraction, and the southwestern sec tion o>f the Square at all times was crowded. Traffic was handicapped slightly due principally to the throbbing hose lines, and not to the crowd. Before the parade started the cars of the Valley Traction Company ran to Second and Walnut street but while the parade format'on was in progress the intersection of Front and Walnut streets was made the terminal point. Visiting bands here for the parade were on the streets from early morning until the time of the parade formation. Many spent the time serenading of ficials, including the new Governor at the, Mansion; Judges Kunkel and Mc- Carrell and Mayor Royal. The Citizens band, of Elizahethvilie, marshaled bv •lames E.
