Three tramps It Is enmcstly asserted
that they wore not "knights." of tho road"
were ditched from a tfatn nfar Santa
Margarita Tunnel, California, l&to on the
afternoon of September 16. They cooked
n ' Junslo dinner, abandoned camp In
haste to catch a freight train and ne
glected to extinguish tho fire. A, forty-
mllc-an-hour wind happened along, stop
ped long enough to fan tho ' embers
Into flames, carried the flames to the
tunnel and left them there.
The fire was discovered by Section
Foreman Dulgnan about 930 a. m. on
September 17, and had then spread over
tho hills between the Santa Margarita
tunnel, 1,370 feet long, and Tunnel No.
8, a short distance therefrom. Dulgnan
summoned all the help he could, and
climbing the hill over No. 8, attempted
to save tho telegraph lines. Engaged In
their task he and his men realized at
noon that they were hemmed In on all
sjdes by the flames. They ran for their
lives and finally reached tho portal ot
Tunnel 8, all scorched, some seriously
burned. At this time they know only
that tho flro threatened No, 8. They
started toward No. 7, the Santa Marga
rlta, and discovered the cast portal of that
boro was afire.
Dulgnan got Into telephonic communl
cation with Solcdad and called for water
cars, engines and more men. The flro
trains reached the tunnel at 5 o'clock.
But it was Impossible to fight the flames
because of the heat and cave-Ins.
Stcnm forced In.
It was decided to seal both ends of No.
7 and pump In steam to extinguish the
flames. Tho ends were sealed and steam
supplied by locomotives turned on and
forced into the tunnel at the rate ot
2,700 pounds per hour, for forty-eight
hours this was continued, 130,000 pounds
of steam being pumped into tho tunnel
But the steam, while somewhat effective,
didn t work according to expectations,
While it aided In smothering the flames
It also penetrated and 'dissolved" the
earth.
Cave-Ins popped hourly, the biggest
occurring just back of the artificial seals.
Then it was that Scott decided upon tho
use of tho carbon dioxide, or "soda-wa
ter" gas. With U containers to a bat
tery, and each container holding 400
cubic feet of tho gas, the fire again
was attacked.
The gas works peculiarly. "When lib
erated It drops at a ratio of fifty-five
to 1 and forces tho tomperaturo down
to Id degrees below zero, so when It
was finally shot into tho tunnel tho ell
mate ot tho interior was somewhere be
tween that of hades and that ot the
Arctic circle.
After twenty-four applications of diox
ide the seals were removed. It was con
sidered possible to send men Into the
tunnel with fire lines and with nir lines
to protect th,em. They wero to remove
some of the debris of tho cave-ins. Four
flat 'cars were pushed- into the- boret Ton
men began the removal of 200 yards of
cave-In muck. They worked in ten-hour
shifts, throwing tho muck to tho first
car, where another crew, picked It up
and passed it on to the second car, from
which another crew threw it on to the
third car and so on.
Pcrllona Work.
But the fire, back In tho tunnol, was
still burning. The piles of embers hadn't
been penetrated by the gas. The smoke

consclous and were hurriedly taken out,
others rushing to their places. Fireman
Lahey volunteered with four men to at
tack tho embers with flro extinguishers.
Shortly after their departure for the
Inner regions tho top of tho portal be
gan to cave in. The dirt removers were
hurried out and signals passed to Lahey
and his crew. Tho latter tried, but
couldn't reach the entrance They
dropped unconscious. More volunteers
went to their nld and dragged them out
Lahey, after being resuscitated, reported
that he got into tho tunnel for a dis
tance ot 375 feet, where ho found debris
and burned Umber four feet high. The
posts wero burning and 100 feet ahead
he could see the tunnel pillars a seeth
ing mass of flames.
After Lahey's experience, no more men
were allowed within. The tunnels were
reseated and steam again resorted to until
another supply of the gas could do
obtained. But more cave-Ins followed the
steam injections and tho use of steam
was abandoned.
An Idea ot the heat within may bo
obtained from the thermometer readings
made at each end ot the tunnel before
the dioxide was again put Into use. The
first test at tho west end of the tunnel
showed 1SS degrees Fahrenheit, the sec
ond 191. One test was made- at tho cast
end. It showed 303 degrees Fahrenheit.
Men Overcome.
A couplo of days later on the morning
of the twenty-fifth to be exact tho west
end seal was broken. A thermometer
placed fifteen feet In from tho seal
showed a registration ot 1S5 degrees to
ward the roof of tho bore. Four men
were ovcrcomo trying to regain the ther
mometer. Three moro suffered llkewtso
in attempting to construct a bulkhead
twenty feet in. This attempt was aban
doned when it was found necessary to
send two of the workmen to Santa Mar
garlta in a special that their lives might
bo saved,
Tho officials, then up against it for
a scheme to force out tho heat and
ordinary gas without sufficient draught
to rekindle the fire, decided upon a hugo
wooden chimney. This was crocted at
an elevation above the roof of tho tunnol,
making a stove out ot the mountain.
Bteam was now turned into the tunnel
again, a small port hole on the cast end
portal being opened, and the steam pas
sing through the chimney pulled great
quantities of gas and smoko from the
floor of the tunnel. The atmosphere in
tho Interior cleared somewhat, and it was
possible to see for a distance of sixty
feet within. Then It was that tiny,
bluish flames were discovered on the
floor and the men found themselves con
fronting charcoal fumes.
On September 27 the seal of the west
portal was pulled down and the carpenter
gangs engaged in replacing bioken tlm
bers at the entrance and supporting slip
ping ground, but so dense was the smoke
that the men could work in shifts of
thirty minutes' only. Chief Murphy ot
the San Francisco department, dispatched
two of his men with oxygen helmets to
the scene on the 28th. The ulght f the
27th, however, the gases and foul air
were so dense that scores of men were
again overcome and It was discovered
that a cave-In In the center of tho tunnol
Influenced the effectiveness of the chlm
noy draught. Tho heat became Intense.
A tarpaulin ot.rtnln was hung vcr the
portal, but It caught fire Immediately and
was destroyed. A lumber curtn'n was
constructed with better success, but tho
carpenters were badly burned by h hot
stones with which they had to come In
contact.
llnrnril Too t.rrnt.
Fireman Shubort of the Son Francisco
department, went into the tunnel on his
arrival. Ho wore an oxygen helmet and
crawled on his hands and knees, It being
Impossible- to stand upright nn nccount ot
the heat. He carried a small hand lino.
and the dlslnnco ho traveled was deter
mined by tho amount of rope ho carried.
He got XX feet Into tho tuniwl and, alter
reporting conditions, a small push cor
with a small forco of men advanced to
remove tho debris five nnd st feet high
on tho track. Water lines were rlaywl
on tho debr'i and smouldering embers,
and the men wero enabled to work st a
dlstanco of 380 feet In tho tunnel, but
only In flve-mlnuto stretches. The first
hour ten men wero overcome.
Tho work was as hazardous as diffi
cult. At a point 3S0 feet In flames spurted
out without any warning; lebrls and tim
ber.! fell.
The men beat a hasty and iierllous re
treat, seventeen being dragged to the
fresh air by their comrades, eleven over
come by smoko and charcoal fumes, the
remainder injured by falling timbers nnd
hot stones. Hope was then abandoned. A
few hours later the west portal crumbled
away and tho boro was closed, tavo for
a small hole through which cteam end
gases escaped.
The officials decided to let tho tiro burn
Itself out. On the cast end an effort was
made to cool tho temperature of the tun
nel by pouring In a constant flow ot
water.
Tho fire goes Into the railroad's his
iury as mo worst, it lias war encoun
tered. The damage, the difficulty with
which the men worked, the ureat tarards
surrounding fire-fighting efforts, the con
struction of the trail, the detourlng, the
automobile service and the traffic oolay
comblno to make It also '.he costliest.

"Don't bellovo that the pelt of the

Tho event stirred the whol civilized
world, and when a few months later the
Toxans under Sam Houston destroyed the
Mexican' army at Kan Jaolnto, "Remem
ber tho Alamo!" was their battle cry.
The old buldlng, of course, has suffered
from decay, ana some years ago the
state made nn appropriation for its
restoration. Dut the money gave out.
and now the upper story has bten torn
away and much of tho restored material
has been sold for commercial purposes.
It is said that in spite of the efforts of
Governor Colquitt of Texas the whole
building Is In danger of being destroyed
very soon.
ThlB vandalism teems Incredible, but
it Is a fact, and the public cannot learn
of it too soon. The Alamo belongs not
alone to San Antonio nor alone to Texas,
but to the whole nation. Now York
World,
We frequently read of the wealth of
Alaska, which has produced elnce wo pur
chased it, in 1867, J1,000,X worth of
furs, fish and gold up to the present day,
and of tho unlimited resources in coal'
awaiting railroads to encourage mining.
Wo know that year after year tho world' ,
wealth hus been enhanced by Hiobo great
values, but we seldom think back upon
the chance wo might have lost to Eng
land, but for Secretary Seward's deter
mination to acquire that vast territory
known as Russian America, with the
chain of tho Aleutian islands; with their
wealth in sealsall for 17,200,000 In gold,
or a value of about )10,000,000 of our cur
rency at that time. But for Mr, Sew
ard's dominating will and our country's
sentiment of gratitude toward Russia for
the sending of its great naval armaments
to New York and San Francisco during
our civil war, when England and Franco
seemed on the point of declaring for the
southern confederacy and breaking up
our union, and Russia gavo us this prac
tical proof of its sympathy and willing
ness to ally ltsolf with the north, we
would nover have acquired Alaska and
thoso islands certainly not at that time,
for the reason that our Immense debt
seemed prohibitive of such an enterprise
of acquisition.
While the senate promptly concurred,
there was much doubt as to tho action
of the house upon the appropriation. It
was not generally known that Mr. Sew
ard, exercising his powers with an iron
will, had so arranged that we should bo
obliged to take the purchase, for the Rus
sian flag had given placo to ours, be
foro the house bad fairly entered upon
discussion of the appropriation.
Some of thoso who opposed it said the
rocks and Ice of thoso C70.O0O squaro
miles wero worth nothing, and If we
wanted to show our gratitude to Russia,
which Just then needed some cash, tho
better plan would be to give It the gift
in the gold and let It keep tho territory,
On the other side, thero were soma wise
heads from the' Pacific and other states
who said we were getting a good bar
gain, and that tho future would justify
the purchase. Leonard Meyers declared In
the house that if we did not take It
England surely would, if it could get it,
and Mr. Spalding of Ohio believed that
there would be found capitalists who
would take it off our hands and give us
a bonus of 2,000,000, General Ranks led
for the treaty, urging gratitude and val
ues, and C. C. Washburn led the upo
slllon. General Butler was facetious and
derisive, declaring that In ten yeurs the
Whole product of Alaska had not
amounted to more than 13,000,000, Mr
Peters of Maine said that the fact that
the land was Intrinsically valueless was
shown by Russia's desire to noil. General
Bob" Schenk of Ohio took tho same
vlow, but was for tho measure out of
gratitude, Mr. Stevens was fuvorablo be

Mr. Shollabarger was In tho opposition.
Mr. Hlgby of California wao on tho side

MAN OF WONDERFUL MEMORY
Power, Alilllty nnd Achievements of
nistlnaulaliert Now York
I.nivyer.
Hie late William C. Da Witt had an
extraordinary, memory, ny writing out
an address ho committed It perfectly
without reading It. It was stereotyped
on tho tablots ot his mind by tlio mero
act of its composition. Nor did any dif
ference appsar In his power of recollec
tion when he dictated his thought to a
typewriter from when he wrote it out in
his own hand. His mind was a matrix,
tiomo men had tho same gift, but they
were few. Stewart I. Woodford had It.
Rev. Dr. Chamberlain of the Classon
Avenue Presbyterian church had It. Ros
coo Conkllng had It. These men
markedly differed In abilities and opin
ions, but the art of power of speaking
prepared discourse as If it were spon
taneous gave to their "delivery" the ap
pearance nnd effect 'of offhand utter
ance, except to expert listeners, such as
reporters, to whom the unbroken iluency
of the orators was in itself ''suspicious."
Not that these gentlemen could not
speak otherwise than memorltcr. Gen
erol Woodford and Dr. Chamberlain
learned how to do so, slowly, to be sure,
but finally with readiness. Tho experi
ence of Senator Conkllng, In both houses
of congress, taught him how to debute
offhand. Mr. De Witt exceeded them
all In disguising his mnemonic facility
and in Interspersing "asides," quips nnd
Jests with "prepared matter." Ills was
a nimbler mind than that of any of the
other phenomenally expert in their
power of recollection. Re-collectlon, In
the hyphenated sonse of the compound,
It was. General Woodford, an experi
enced Journalist, prepared his manuscript
for the printer, with subheads and
bracketed terms, such as "cheers," "ap
plause," "encore," "sensation," "loud
and long-continued applause," cries of
"wo will, wo will," etc. On his attention
being called to these "effects," the gen
eral would say: "Yes, sir, I will produce
every one of them, and I Just wish you
to follow copy faithfully." Produco them

William C, De Witt was an intellectual
prodigy. Ha was Just that, and ho was
extraordinarily that. And with that ho
was an able lawyer, as vol ns a "lift
ing'' orator. Ills knowledge of law was
to bo rated with tils knowledge of litera
ture. And in literature, poetry, elo
quence, history, tho fine arts, humor,
repartee, sarcasm and fancy alternately
sujtalned markedly unequal parts only
becauso the culls on them wero not uni
formly commanding. Very early in his
professional life ho reached tho pinnacle
ot recognition and lie abode thereon as
long att ho dcslrd. Nor wbh ho unaware
ot his own proficiency. Indeed, ho was
so suro of It as to bo indifferent to It,
Uo ullowed his partners or associates,
his assistants or his JunluVs to claim,
and really to bellovo, that degrcos of his
success wore chargeable to them, and
that ho was their beneficiary, Instead of
themselves being only his Instruments,
or understudies, or dim copyists at very
long range.
Mr, Do Wtt was Industrious only when
tho occasion for Industry was presented
by profesHlonal duty or publlo require
ments. Whon such duty or such require
ments wero presented he roso to them
with a power that placed him at the
front and left the rest nowhere. Men of
greatness at tho bar, such as Chonte.
Parsons, Leslie W, Russell, John Gra
ham, Henry A. Cram and James T,
Church, understood this and understood
him. Men of greatness on the benoh,
such an Folger, Allen, Rapailo and
Church, understod this and understood
him. Tho most commanding appeal
made to his uneven abilities was pre
sented by his participation In tho work
of forming a charter for the consolidated
city. His was a participation in chief.
His was an appointment to the duty in
the stage of its relegation to the guber
natorial charge of Lavl P. Morton. No
oxecutivo could have made a more ef
fective choice. No charter of a great
city ever received a more commanding
consideration. No such charter ever re
flected a more notablo oinlon or alterna
tion of municipal solidarity and borough
autonomy.
It was the climacteric publlo service ot
William C. De Witt. It has endured
