City Without Orders?Miles of
Poles and Wires Lay in Tangled
Mass?Losses Heavy.
(By Associated rress.)
BALTIMORE. MI v. Marth ...
Practically isolated from the outside
world, sa\c by dickering wireless
cominunicatii n and belated trains.
Baltimore today made every effort
to bring order out o chaos.
The Storni that brought havoc in
its wake gave place tu clear skies
and cool, bracing air.
A multitude of telegraph and tele?
phone wires, not only iu the city, but
tor a long distance in mam direc?
tions, lay on the ground, trains ran
in and out of ihc city without < rdeiv
and city truffle was gem rail} im?
peded. x
Wires in Tangled Mass.
For .'tu to in miles in all directions,
poles ""d wires lay in a mass of
tangled wreckage. Miles of poles
and wires will have t > be rebuilt en?
tirely. *
Between Baltimore ond Havre De
Grace. Md.. over one thousand pt-'lea
with 14o wires went down and ap?
proximately the same condition.- exist.
??(1 between Haltimore and Washing?
ton.
No confirmation was received of
the report that five men were frozen
to death while travelling aft ot from
Patuxem river to Annapolis.
Latest estimates, based on informs,
tion obtained today and tonight, place
the damage by the storm to public
.service oorpoiaticns at from $700,000
to $1,000.000.
Harry Granger, a brother-in-law of
trt-orge R. Caliber, who at the last
election, was the Republican candi?
date for governor, was found dead
?today, a victim of the storm, beside
the tracks of the United Railway.
EXCITEMENT AT OLD POINT
WAS DUE TO DENSE SMOKE
Report That Catholic Church Was on
Fire Caused General Alarm to
be Turned In.
Considerable excitement was caus
cd on tne Fort Monroe reservation
yesterday afternoon by the announo
inent that the beautiful St. Mary s
Star of the Sea Catholic Church was
on fire inside the structure. Smoke
was seeu issuing from the main audi?
torium and through the windows and
a general hurried alarm was turned
in.
Investigation showed that tin
smoke was due to a congestion in
one of the chimneys in the church
and that there was no fire, but dense
smoke. The soldier fin men found
it unnecessary to resort to the use ot
water. The building is slightly
blackened by the smoke, but tint
actual damage will not reach $.">.
Rev. Father Wilson, the rector of j
the church, was soon on the stene
and naturally was highly elated upon
the discovery of the trivial cause of
the excitement.

He will take passag? on the

Mr. Roosevelt said also that he hud
received so many letters, telegrams

practically impossible for him to
answer die tenth o! them, and while
he appreciated the sentiment ex
pressed in the various communica?
tions, and would like to answer them,
it would be impossible to do so.
He added that he would have noth?
ing to say on any subject nor would
he attend any public functions before
departing on his hunting irip.
