JOHNSON SERIOUSLY ILL INMELPHIA of Burned Building Suffers From Nervous Collapse Prof. Amanitas Johnson, an usjktunt instructor of language* at the University of Pennxlyvania, Whose stores on the Boardwalk were des- , roved by fire early Friday morning, and for several days thereafter sulTeretl from nervous shock and exposure', was taken io West Philadelphia Monday. Soon after the fire had left only the smouldering ruins, Dr. condition became such that was taken~Io Thevcottagc of friends . on Fourth street. n*ar tide ocean front, where, until he was taken to Philadelphia Monday, he wus under the care -of Dr. John Whiticar, and it was thought advisable to send him to Philadelphia, where he was placed under treatment by Dr. Allyn, of Fortieth street and Poweltnn *veMis. Johnson was in Philadelphia when the fire occurred, and she too, trouble, due to their troubles in this - .' city. The fire, the alarm for which was ' telephoned to city hall at 3.20 o'clock . Friday morning, was one of thp- , most serious this city has- had In i years. It resulted in the destruction of the seven new stores uml restaurant and roof garden only recently "completed, by D f. and Mrs. Johnson. A half-dozen of the tenants barely ' escaped with their lives, losing all their stock, clothing anil other possessions. Their loss is complete, noi^ having insurance. | The stores, the esti mated cost of I which is about $ IK, 000, were insured , by Mousey A Edward* for $15,000. Dr. Johnson also had an insurance of j $2,000, plneed by Dayton Haines Rrick. on the contents of the storer. in the building conducted uniier the management of himself and wife. t The handsome trophy cup of the t Ocean City Fishing Club, which was , on exhibition in the store, window of , Lipschutz A Keardon, was destroyed, hut the cup was insured for $1500, and it is being replaced. The fire burned about 100 feet of . the city's Boardwalk. Mayor Champion and Director E. A. Corson, of ] the highway department, were at the scene of the fire early Friday morning, and the work of clearing away , the chared lumber and debris was at once begun, preparatory to rebuiM- [ ing the Boardwalk. / The work of re- | building jvas completed Tuesday. George Kreiger, wife and 12-year ■laughter Pearl, with Miss Marie Can- • aval, of Philadelphia, who was with them a* an assist ant in Mrs. Kreiger's beauty parlors, as wall as Dr. 8. H. Lipschutz and his partner, Mr. Keardon, narrowly escaped being burned to death. Kreiger claimed that he was awakened by the harking of his bulldog, and that, after getting his family oflt, he ran to the assistance of Lipschutz A Keardon. It is said that Special Policeman Ho'gsn had already broken into the Lipschutz store and carried Dr. Lipschutz, who was almost overcome by smoke, from the building. Reardon succeeded in escaping from the rear of the store. Others who had stores in the building were Mrs. F. Bingham, of Plcasantville, and Mrs. Annie E. Lacey, of Philadelphia. Dr. Johnson was conducting two stores In the buililing, a toy establishment and a library, and in the latter store vy locate) a sub post office. Just how much mail or parcel port packages were bii-ned is not definitely known. The sdh.jmst office was in charge of Miss Beatrice Welker. Robinson A Rapport had charge of the, roof garden and restaum rant. ' When the firemen received the telephone message at 3.20 Friday morning, they were told that grass was on fire. A combination chemical auto and two firemen were sent to Third street and the Boardwalk.' When they turned in on Third street. They saw the building on Are, and then sent in a general alarm. The underneath portion of the building was oil ablaze, and the firemen saw they could do nothing to stop the flames in the structure. They then bent all their efforts toward saving the buildings adjoining on the south. These were bath houses, the Park Theatre and the Jones eandy and ice cream parlors, owned byJoseph M. Rowfaid, of Philadelphia. In this work the"? were eminently successful. Part of the side of the bath houses was burned, but the loss ; was not heavy, according to reports. The firemen were helped considerably ; by the wind blowing from the south I or southeast. Had the wind been coaling from the north or northArt, there probably would have been more property destroyed, despite the remarkably fine work of the boys, all of whom were praised by those who watched their afforts. Wm. Chad, wick, who looks after Mr. Rowland's : property, was especially strong in his ^ words of praise. Sparks did some lit-

Cl'P LOSS MOURNED | Destruction of Trophy Won't InterI fere with Tournament s , There was much genuine sorrow among the members of both the r Ocean City Fishing Club ami the J 1 Anglers' Club of Ocean City on Friday when it was found that the famous Ocean Dty Trophy Cup. for which many surf casting teams an- - oually- compete, had been. d^Mroyeil e 1 • $ ; * rmm A lSw _Jt ■ Ocean City Fixating Club's hand- '• some trophy cup, valued at $1,001) T destroyed in the Boardwalk fire.

When it was s seen that the fire had destroyed the 1 stores, the officers of the club had ' '• the forlorn hope that perhaps the . '• cup had been saved by some mem- ' hers of the organization, but late in the morning- W. I. Raymond, active ' '" in fishing club Affairs here, found the ' melted remains of^lhe cup in the fire ' ie nuns. 1 ] The destruction of this cup, will not ' * interfere with the regular tournamcnt of the Association of Surf Anglers' Clubs in Ocean Dty Aug- •" ust 15.
