Twenty-First Street

Streets of Camden, NJ
Page Contents

Twenty-First Street

Twenty-First Street begins in what was originally called the Pavonia section of what is now considered Cramer Hill and ends in East Camden at Federal Street. The street had already been laid out by the time the 1887–1888 Camden City Directory was published. The street begins at Harrison Avenue and runs south, across River Road to the Pavonia railroad switching yard, then from Howell Street to Federal Street.

30 Minutes Rail Delay At River Rd., 1223 North 21st Street

Camden Courier-Post —

Camden Courier-Post article about automobile-train accident killing Fannie May of 1223 North 21st Street, February 1956

30 Minutes Rail Delay At River Rd.

Mrs. Fannie May, 64, injured in a Camden automobile-train accident, died at 12.30 p. m. today in Cooper Hospital.

A Camden couple was injured today when their car collided with the front of a Pennsylvania Railroad passenger train on River ave. north of Federal st.

In critical condition in Cooper Hospital is Mrs. Fannie May, 72, of 1223 N. 21st st. Under observation at the hospital was her husband, John, 65.

A crossing watchman, Angelo Longo, of 45 Marlton pike, told police the May car, a 1937 Packard, skidded past him and crashed into the train as it moved through the crossing.

Patrolman Joseph Kane said the May car was heading north and after colliding with the engine was tossed along the railroad siding and landed near the watchman's shack.

Kane said he believed the couple might have been killed instantly were it not for the size and weight of the old car.

Mrs. May suffered a possible skull fracture, internal injuries and multiple cuts and bruises, the hospital said. Her husband was treated for head and face cuts and shock.

Railroad officials said the train, bound from Pemberton to Camden with its one passenger car and about 15 passengers, was held up about a half-hour after the accident happened at 8.38 a. m.

The engineer was Samuel F. Sypherd, 431 Unruh st., Philadelphia, and the conductor, Oran Rives, 2904 Stevens st., the railroad said.

Camden Courier-Post —

The funeral will be delayed several days because her husband, John L. B., is in Cooper Hospital under treatment for injuries suffered in the crash. Burial will be in Bethel Memorial Park.

Mrs. May was born in Philadelphia and was a resident of Camden 56 years. She was a member of Catherine Chalmers Chapter 272, OES. In addition to her husband, she is survived by a son, John Leroy, of Haddon Heights; a daughter, Mrs. Florence G. Kohlenberg, of Camden; two brothers, William Davidson, of Camden, and John E. Davidson, of Wilmington, Dela.; a sister, Mrs. Lydia Thompson, of Pennsauken, two grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

Suspect in Holdup Identified at Trial

Hotel Night Clerk Not Certain of 2 Others in Robbery

Positive identification was made of one of three bandit suspects who went on trial today in Criminal Court on charges of holding up and robbing the night clerk and elevator operator of the Hotel Camden on the morning of November 21.

The defendants, all of whom deny the charges, are Rollie Waterhouse, 19, of 422 Mechanic street; Joseph McKenna, 29, of 550 Lansdowne avenue; and Ralph Endt, 23, of 1161 Van Hook street. They are named in one joint indictment charging robbery.

They were arrested less than an hour after the holdup when they were crossing the Camden Bridge in a taxicab. Under the seat was $76.83, just 40 cents more than the bandits took from Harry A. Auman, the night clerk, and Jacob Davis, the elevator operator.

Auman, the first witness called by the state today, walked over to the defense table and dramatically identified Endt as the bandit who leaped over a desk and commanded him to throw up his hands. Endt nervously rubbed his lips but stared steadily at his accuser during the brief ordeal.

But when he was asked to identify Waterhouse and McKenna as the other bandits, Auman could not do so, although he testified that a second bandit had run behind the desk and poked something against his ribs. The lobby was dark, the clerk averred, and he couldn’t distinguish the features of the other two men. He further declared that Endt had no weapon in his hands, but had sharply commanded him to open the safe.

The trial opened before Judge Samuel M. Shay shortly after 10 a. m., and a panel of 24 veniremen was summoned. The prisoners were handcuffed together when they were escorted into the court room by Constable Vernon Lyons, William Gaskill and William Sawyer. However, Prosecutor Baldwin later ordered the handcuffs removed.

When the panel was called, the prosecutor asked if any of the prospective jurors knew the defendants, and there was no response. Samuel P. Orlando, defense attorney, then asked the veniremen if they had read newspaper accounts of the holdup, if they knew the complainants or had any connection with the hotel, if they were clients of the prosecutor or his aides and if they had cases or friends who had cases in the prosecutor’s office. Again there was no response, and the selection of the jury began.

All three defendants were held as material witnesses in the murder of Angelo Solury, sailor killed in the “Little Club,” a Mt. Vernon street speakeasy, June 6. Later, Albert Saunders, who was tried for Solury’s murder, named Waterhouse as the actual slayer, as did two other defense witnesses. Saunders was acquitted. [sic] and Prosecutor Baldwin, when asked if Waterhouse would be charged with the murder, announced that the case was closed.

Waterhouse has, since his arrest in the hotel holdup, been identified as the “gunman” in the holdup of a Paulsboro gasoline filling station, which occurred about six hours before the hotel robbery.

The three were arrested, arraigned in police court and indicted on the same day of the holdup. They were to have gone on trial last Monday, but the case was postponed until today on Orlando’s request.

The jury was completed in one hour at 11.20 a. m. Eight women and four men were chosen from a total of 48 veniremen. The state used 10 of its 12 preemptory challenges, while the defense used 18 of its 20 challenges. The first juror drawn, as is customary, was named forelady.

The jury follows:

Mrs. Mary L. Klein, housewife, 127 North Thirty-second street; Mrs. Mary J. Sayre, housewife, Brooklawn; John Quirk, clerk, 859 North Thirty-second street; Cecilia Cahill, saleslady, 116 North Sussex street, Gloucester; Mrs. Minnie Hines, housewife, 2729 Lincoln avenue; Mrs. Elizabeth S. Sharp, housewife, Blackwood; Russell Kleaman, mechanic, 228 Hampshire avenue, Audubon; Mrs. Nellie Powell, housewife, 613 Market street, Gloucester; George James, retired, 428 Middlesex street, Gloucester; Mrs. Ida M. Palme, housewife, 13 West Wayne terrace, Collingswood; Mrs. Mary Cantwell, housewife, 1030 North Twenty-first street; and Thomas Haggerty, mechanic, Stratford.

Boy, 3, Saved During Blaze By Baby Sitter, 928 North 21st Street

Camden Courier-Post —

An 18-year-old baby sitter ran with her three-year-old charge Monday afternoon from a blazing residence at 1145 DuPont Street in the Cramer Hill section.

Bertha Reed, 928 North 21st Street, was watching Michael Moran, while the child's mother, Mrs. Mary Moran, was out. At 3:55 PM, Miss Reed saw smoke curling up from the living room floor. She quickly put Michael's outdoor clothing on him and ran with him to the street.

Engines 9 and 11 and Truck 3 responded to a box alarm pulled by a neighbor. The firemen found flames had eaten through a partition in the house to the second floor. They donned gas masks before entering the blazing structure.

The fire spread to the basement and first floor of 1143 DuPont Street occupied by Mrs. Moran's mother, Mrs. Anna Abel, who was not at home at the time.

Main damage was to the dining room of the Moran residence. District Fire Chief John Graham said wood piled near a coal stove in the basement had ignited and had fired the partition of the two-story twin, frame dwelling.

Two “Pals,” Too, Accused of Crime

Harry Duffield. Fred. Coursey. Linnans Staley.

Trio Accused of Murder, Coursey Firing the Shots.

Collapsing when arraigned in Police Court this morning before Recorder Stackhouse on the charge of killing Karl Kellmann, aged 18 years, of 2919 High street, at Twenty-seventh and Sherman streets, shortly before midnight Saturday, Fred Coursey, alias “Mexican Pete,” alias “Cowboy Pete,” aged 20 years, of 121 North Twenty-first street, who admits firing the fatal shots while committing robbery, and Harry Duffield, aged 21 years, of 407 North Forty-first street, who acknowledged masking his face with a handkerchief and being with Coursey, sobbed piteously, resting their heads on the railing of the dock, while John Painter, the veteran detective, was briefly reciting the story.

When Recorder Stackhouse asked what became of the young man who was shot and Painter replied that he died, Coursey and Duffield sobbed afresh, and when Recorder Stackhouse committed them without bail Policemen Frost and Kay had to help them.

Linnans Staley, aged 21 years, of 1819 Federal street, who confessed that he was in the robbery plot but later got scared and hid in the bushes, was scarcely able to stand, and when his mother broke down as he was committed as a principal he staggered and would have fallen but for Sergeant McClong.

Prosecutor Boyle announced this morning that the Grand Jury will be recalled for Thursday of this week and the case will be made the special order of the day.

Without the slightest clue to start with in the most brutal murder committed in recent years in Camden county, police and detectives under the personal direction of Chief Gravenor in two hours arrested two of the three prisoners and obtained their signatures to confessions and before sunrise the other was lodged behind the bars at the City Hall.

According to their statements to the police the prisoners while drinking on a lot near Twenty-first and Federal streets on Saturday night planned to go to a lone spot near Twenty-seventh and Sherman streets to hold someone up to get money and jewelry to buy more drink. Coursey had a 38-calibre cowboy pistol and Duffield used Coursey’s bandanna as a mask. Staley weakened before the spot selected was reached and at the time of the murder was hiding in a clump of weeds a short distance away.

The murdered boy was the son of Karl and Lulu D. Kellmann. He was a member of the Bible class of Grace Presbyterian Church, East Side, and active in church work.

Saturday night was the closing of a carnival given on High street between Twenty-seventh and Thirtieth streets. Karl was there and made several purchases. At one booth he bought a necktie, from another some ice cream and a box of candy and spent some time conversing with the young ladies connected with the church.

When it grew rather late he noticed that Misses Bertha and Bessie Skillen, of 815 North Thirty-fourth street, the latter a teacher in Grace Church Sunday-school, were without an escort and he volunteered to see them home. They accepted his invitation to be their escort. He saw them safely home and he was on his way back and had reached a point on the east side of Twenty-seventh street south of Sherman street and near the foot of the bridge that spans the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks when two men jumped out from behind a tree and as one commanded him to hold up his hands the other began to shoot.

The first shot struck him in the breast and turned him partially around. The next ploughed a hole through his neck, knocking him down, and the third went wide.

Screaming for help he tried to rise to his feet and was on his knees when Night Yardmaster Albert Ludlow and Brakeman Joseph Wittick, who were on the opposite side of the bridge, ran to his assistance. By the light of their lanterns they saw that he was seriously hurt and they took him to ’Squire Sasse’s house nearby to await the arrival of the ambulance. As the railroaders sped across the bridge Ludlow saw a man run down the tracks in the direction of Seventeenth street.

In the signal tower at Pavonia station known as C. B. the operator, Thomas Sink, heard the shots and cries for help and ’phoned to Captain James at Police Headquarters that a murder had been committed. Sink also saw a man run down through the weeds and bushes on the east side of the bridge toward the railroad tracks.

Policeman Hurlock and Schmid, ’Squire and Mrs. Sasse and several others were out on the street before the railroad men reached the Sasse home and all hurried to ’phones to notify police headquarters.

In less than five minutes by use of the red light system Captain James had every officer on duty on the East Side hurrying to the scene, officers stationed at every bridge, ferry house and railroad terminal, and the downtown auto with Detectives Schregler, Painter, Brothers and Moffett on its way to East Camden.

On information from the railroad men Sergeant Horner took all the East Side officers and the four detectives and they worked westward among the cars while Captain James started Policemen Colsey and Kelly to walk eastward from Fifteenth street until they met the main body.

The search proved fruitless and as they returned to the bridge one of the men picked up a green bandanna with yellow spots and sheep burrs embeded [sic] on it on the incline near the signal tower. Later he recalled that the man who went down the slope wore a Khaki shirt and cap.

The handkerchief was recognized as the kind used by “Indian Bill” May, and Detectives Brothers and Policeman Abbott were sent to arrest him. They found May and Eugene Cafferty asleep in a moving van in Marlton avenue. “Indian Bill” soon established an alibi.

Detective Schregler and a couple of officers who were sure that the description of the man with the khaki shirt tallied with Duffield started for his brother’s house, but failed to find him there. About this time the downtown auto turned into Twenty-seventh street to get Karl’s father, mother and sister and take them to the hospital. Councilman Finkeldey and a friend shouted to the crew that a woman was down and out on a step nearby, but the crew yelled back that they were on an emergency run and the woman would keep until they returned. Fireman J. H. Vickers walked across the street to investigate and found that the supposed woman was Duffield and that he seemed to be asleep.

Vickers shook him and as he got up he said something about the shooting that aroused Vickers’ curiosity and he ’phoned to Police Headquarters. Captain James immediately notified Chief Gravenor, who was on the scene and the latter sent Detective Moffett to investigate. When Moffett arrived he learned that Duffield had taken a Westfield avenue car. Moffett returned to the bridge and he and Detective Painter and Chief Gravenor took the down-town auto for Duffield’s home.

Painter went to the front door and saw Duffield in the act of taking off his shoes. Moffett in going around to the back door to prevent his escape that way passed by the window at which Duffield was sitting.

Grasping Duffield by the collar Moffett pulled him through the window to the ground. As soon as he landed on his feet, according to the Chief and detectives, Duffield said that Coursey did the shooting.

Placing him in the auto they next drove close to Coursey’s home and with Policeman Potter who knew the man wanted, the detectives entered the house with drawn revolvers while other officers guarded all avenues of escape.

Coursey was found akwake [sic] on a cot and while he was covered with revolvers Detective Painter searched his trunk and found the weapon that he later admitted using. It was empty. The detectives late yesterday afternoon found three used shells adjoining the house near a spot where Coursey said he had thrown them.

In order to keep the men apart they were taken to the City Hall separately and questioned and after they decided to tell all Sergeant E. B. McClong reduced their statements to writing and they signed them. It was on the strength of these statements that Staley was arrested.

Young Kellmann was taken into the hospital at 12.20 a. m. Chief Surgeon Schellenger saw at a glance that there was no hope for him and so notified Captain James, and Sergeant McClong was sent to the hospital to get all information possible.

The unfortunate youth could only speak a few words at a time because of the hemorrhages. All Sergeant McClong was able to get from him was that he was told to hold up his hands and that the shooting instantly began. The only description he could give was that they were small men and that the attack was so sudden that he could not tell whether they were black or white.

The injured young man kept asking the doctors if he was going to die, but they did not answer. He was conscious when his father and mother arrived and then sank rapidly until the end, dying at 1.50 o’clock, 90 minutes after he was admitted. Mother and father were prostrated and were taken home by the up-town auto.

County Physician Jones conducted the autopsy yesterday morning. He said that either wound would have caused death. The bullet in the breast pierced the right lung at the top and lodged in the cavity. It is now in the doctor’s possession. The other bullet went clear through the neck.

Coursey and Duffield have been working in the Pavonia car yard. The former was born in El Paso, Texas, but has lived East nearly all his life. He is an expert shot and was a member of the vaudeville team of Coursey & Cook, according to their letter heads presenting a fifteen-minute thriller.

Duffield was only recently paroled for robbing Gallagher’s saloon, Nineteenth and Federal streets of a lot of drinkables. Staley has been arrested several times on petty charges but was never convicted of crime. When Duffield’s coat was examined at the City Hall, it was found to contain sheep burrs.

To a reporter Coursey said that whenever he was drinking he had to get his gun and shoot something or somebody. He insisted that all were in on the job and that they let the man who preceded Kellman go over the bridge without molestation because he didn’t look as if he had any too much money.

Yesterday morning Assistant Prosecutor Wolverton and Stenographer Cleary called at the City Hall. The prisoners were examined by Mr. Wolverton and their statements taken by Mr. Cleary, but there was little or nothing new elicited.

East Camden Family Flees from Fire in Night Clothes, 117 North 21st Street

Camden Post-Telegram article about the Cox family fleeing a chimney fire at 117 North 21st Street, January 1923

EAST CAMDEN FAMILY FLEES FROM FIRE IN NIGHT CLOTHES

Sparks From Chimney Cause Much Smoke But Little Damage at Home of Richard Cox

Day's Happenings 'Cross the Creek

The family of Richard Cox, 113 North Twenty-first street, were awakened shortly after five o'clock yesterday morning by the smell of smoke, and investigation showed the rooms filled with smoke. (Note: Correct address was 117 North 21st Street.)

All the members of the family were hastily roused and without taking time to don their street clothes rushed from the house. One of the male members of the house rushed to Federal street and asked a motorman of a trolley car to notify the firemen, not knowing that there was a fire alarm box nearby.

In the meantime, someone also phoned into the East Camden Fire House, at Twenty-seventh and Federal streets, and the firemen were soon on the scene.

The firemen on their arrival found that the roof was aflame and had to use a ladder to reach the flames. They soon had the fire under control, and it is not thought the damage will exceed $50.

It is thought sparks from the chimney on the house occupied by Thomas Newton, at 115 North Twenty-first street, caused the roof of No. 113 to catch fire, as sparks were seen flying in all directions from the chimney.

Police Seek Writer of Note Found on Suicide, 27 North 21st Street

Camden Post-Telegram —

Camden Post-Telegram article about the suicide of William Cooper of 27 North 21st Street, July 1906

POLICE SEEK WRITER OF NOTE FOUND ON SUICIDE

William Cooper, Who Sat in Stupor From Poison for Hours, Died in Cooper Hospital Early To-day Without Offering an Explanation.

MISSIVE IN POCKET MAY BE THE CAUSE

The attempt of William Cooper, of 27 North Twenty-first street, East Side, to end his life had successful culmination at Cooper Hospital shortly before 7 o'clock this morning. County Physician Dr. William S. Jones made a post-mortem examination of the body this morning at the hospital mortuary and found that death resulted from laudanum poisoning. The body was removed to his late home in East Camden this noon by Funeral Director John Crawford.

The following note, in a woman's hand, and partially explanatory of the man's suicide, was found in his inside coat pocket:

“Dear Will:—If you can let me have 50 or 75 cents do so. I would not ask it but when I got home he flew all over me, so you see I want to show him I got paid.

“I can't wait until Clara gets her money because it will be so late on Saturday he might take a tumble to it, and you know it would not do for me to leave home because he may make trouble for me with my mother.

“You are not prepared to give me a home, nor could I go to mother, so for peace sake let me have it. If not send it, then let me know if you could send it by Saturday morning.

“I can say the man will send it down with me. I think he suspects something.

“With love to you double fold.

“You said to me last night that you would have to draw more money, so if you love me help me out of this scrape.”

There was no signature appended to the missive, but the police are endeavoring to locate Clara.

Yesterday afternoon Cooper purchased a vial of laudanum in a drug store under the pretense that he wished to make a poultice for a face ache, and swallowed its entire contents a short distance away, as the empty bottle was found in a coat pocket when he was searched at Cooper Hospital.

About 3 o'clock he walked into Coles' saloon, on Federal street near Twenty-fourth, and took a seat in a back room where for a few minutes he watched a pinochle game. Presently he fell into a deep slumber, but outside of his stentorious breathing which the card players thought was heavy snoring, but was really one of the deadly accompaniments of laudanum poisoning, no notice was taken of him until about 10 o'clock when the saloonkeeper attempted to wake him up. Not being able to arouse him from his stupor, however, Coles called in a policeman who had him sent to Cooper Hospital.

The patient's trouble was at once diagnosed by the experienced hospital physician, Dr. Underwood, and every appliance was brought into action, such as the administering of emetics, flaggelation to stir the sluggish blood and lethargic senses and walking up and down in the open air to prevent him from falling into the sleep that knows no wakening, but all to no avail.

The man was beyond human recall and he lingered in a comatose condition until ten minutes of 7 o'clock this morning, when he died.

William Pedder was lodging at 27 North 21st as early as 1905. He stayed on after William Cooper's suicide, and married Louise Cooper shortly after the compilation of the city Directory. He appears to have died in the late 1920s. Louise Cooper Pedder died in 1941.

Several Firemen Hurt; Oil Plant and Homes Are Menaced

BLAZE WORST IN 18 MONTHS

Fire swept the wholesale store of Antrim Hardware Company, 1514 and 1516 Federal street last night, damaged the stock to the extent of $100,000, injured several firemen, menaced homes and the plant of the Standard Oil Company opposite. It was the first three-alarm fire in Camden since January, 1937.

One of the firemen, Ralph Bingaman, of Truck Company No. 1, was cut severely on the right hand and foot by falling glass and went to the Cooper Hospital. Another hoseman, Ray Smith, of headquarters, also was cut on the right hand but stuck to his fire fighting after his wounds were dressed.

Huge choking billows of smoke that rolled over the fighters balked them several times in their efforts to check the fire, but they remained at their posts and finally subdued the blaze after a battle of several hours.

Spread Rapidly

Chief John H. Lennox declared the fire started midway on the first floor from some unknown cause and spread so rapidly before its discovery efforts of the firemen were greatly hindered. Louis Gold, proprietor of the Federal Automobile Company, which adjoins the Antrim place, discovered the blaze and sent in an alarm at 7 p. m.

He then telephoned to Councilman E. Hulings Antrim, of Merchantville, treasurer of the concern, who raced to the fire, together with his mother, Mrs. Elwood Antrim, widow of the founder of the firm. Later B. Frank Antrim, president of the firm, arrived. The members of the family conferred and decided to reopen today their other store at Twenty-sixth and Federal streets, and to secure if possible an unoccupied floor of a chain store building to carry on the business. The stock, according to Antrim, was fully insured.

The firm was created on December 1, 1889, and had made arrangements to celebrate its golden anniversary. Mrs. Antrim, mother of the treasurer, stated she had half the anniversary number ready for publication “but the first fire we ever had has ruined all that now.”

Smashes Windows

When Gold, accompanied by his son, Marvin, discovered the fire, the latter smashed in two front windows on the first floor to permit the smoke to roll and and [sic] to prevent an explosion inside, he said. Meanwhile, Leroy Garrison, who lives at 50 South Twenty-fourth street, was driving past in his automobile.

He saw smoke rolling upward from the first floor and ran to the rear of the structure and threw open the door to permit the smoke to roll free at the rear.

Eight minutes after the first alarm was sounded Chief Lennox ordered a second, then a third at 7.33 p. m. Eight engines and two hook and ladder trucks responded and the fight began to keep the flames from spreading in the neighborhood. With the wind blowing north, the tanks of the oil company across the street seemed threatened, but the interior of the structure was bulked with two firewalls which held and gave the firemen a chance to get into action and beat down the flames.

Paint, chemicals and tar paper stored on the second floor made a dense, choking smoke that completely concelead [sic] the neighborhood and the hundreds of spectators that thronged the vicinity to watch the fire. Two tenants in nearby houses, Miss Agnes Mitchell and Mrs. Roy Dilks, 72, living in 1510 and 1508, respectively, were unaware of the fire right next door until the police sent them to safety.

Miss Mitchell said she was in the shed in the rear of her home and the first she heard of the fire was when a policeman ordered her to get out.

Refused to Leave

Mrs. Dilks, alone in the house at the time, refused to leave. She told the police she didn’t want to go, because the family had lived there but a month and her relatives were away. Finally she was urged to depart and did, finding refuge with Mrs. Albert Bowne, whose husband runs a printing shop a few doors below.

When Councilman Antrim arrived on the scene he attempted to rescue records of the firm which he said could never be replaced. Five times he entered the smoking building and five times he was turned back by the firemen.

Finally two firemen, Andrew Ballantine, who drives Chief Lennox, and Ladderman John Strauss, of Truck Company No. 4, forged their way through the dense smoke and retrieved the records.

Antrim fixed his damages from smoke and water at $100,000 which he said was the amount of stock in the building. Mrs. Antrim, his mother, stood under an umbrella near the burning building, and refused to go back.

“We’ll open tomorrow,” said the energetic woman, “and not let this bother us. This firm was created in 1889 when Hulings, my son, was four, and B. Frank Antrim, now president, and myself ran the businees [sic] and we’re not going to let this get us down, you bet.”

Antrim said he was the last person to leave the building at 5 p. m., and everything appeared to be all right then. The burglar alarm with which the building is equipped did not sound, so Antrim says no one could have entered the building after he departed.

Truck in Collision

Truck in Collision

After Engine Company No. 10 was sent home the apparatus was sideswiped by a traveling sandwich wagon, owned and driven by Emido Martelli, of 1315 Thurman street, at Eleventh street and Newton avenue.

Martelli’s wife and 25-months- old son were aboard the wagon at the time but none was injured. Police took Martelli to City Hall where he was asked for a statement as to the accident. According to the persons on the scene, Martelli was driving on Eleventh street when the engine came along Newton avenue, with its siren open.

The wagon driver did not seem to pay attention to the screams of the whistle and continued, the front of his car grazing the side of the apparatus.

When Engine Company No. 9, at Twenty-first and Federal streets, the first engine to respond to the alarm, reached the hydrant the firemen found an automobile parked there, and locked. They had to push the car out of the way, in order to get a hose to the hydrant.

Chief Lennox said the last time the department received a third alarm was when fire gutted the store of the McCrory Company at Broadway and Kaighn avenue.

Camden’s Spectacular Fire and Incidents Attending the Conflagration Which Licked Up Valuable Property

Conflagration in Paint and Varnish Works, in Camden, Resulted in Destruction of Much Valuable Property

Panoramic Scene of the Fire.

Moved Out as a Precaution.

Lowering Their Effects from Window.

More than five hundred thousand dollars-worth of property destroyed, three persons seriously injured and half a score of families forced to flee from their homes were a few of the effects of a disastrous fire which yesterday swept its way through the big plant of the N. Z. Graves Paint and Varnish Company, on Twelfth street, Camden, between Linden and Federal streets.

It was the explosion of a mixing tank that caused the blaze, but no reason has yet been assigned for the explosion, and the only workman who was near the vat at the time is now lying in a critical condition at the Cooper Hospital.

Explosion followed explosion with the same deafening roar as that made by opposing batteries in a battle, and during the three hours when the fire raged its fiercest more than two hundred tanks blew up.

Spectacular Blaze

From the spectacular viewpoint the blaze was one of the greatest in years, owing to the chemical nature of the varnishes and paints which were destroyed. Flames mounted as high as two hundred feet in the air and could be plainly seen from Twenty-first and Market streets in this city.

Often as a vat exploded a dense mass of black smoke would mount high towards the heavens and then suddenly burst open like a huge pyrotechnic and out would come a large ball of flame. Then suddenly the whole building would seem to send up a solid square of flame that, after becoming lost in the clouds of smoke which hid the sky, would suddenly veer to the east or west and set fire to some small building.

Not the least of the curious sights was the throwing by the sun of a beautiful rainbow whose arch was easily one hundred feet long across a background of smoke. The sun had caught the spray from a fire hose and reflected it across the smoke. Another time, from one of the small buildings which had caught fire, but from which no flames came, there issued a dense cloud of red smoke which gradually changed to purple, then became white and finally black.

Tanks Intact

While all these explosions occurred and while the heat of the flames was so great that it singed the hair of persons on the opposite side of the street, thirty large tanks containing from five to ten thousand gallons of gasoline and benzine and located almost directly in the rear of the blazing buildings, remained unharmed, although it was momentarily feared that they, too, would explode.

All but one of the eight buildings of the Graves Company were either totally destroyed or so badly damaged that they will have to be rebuilt. Three houses were badly damaged and half a score of other houses scorched.

The persons injured were Joseph Pease, of 941 Kimball street, this city; George Ward, foreman of Fire Company No. 2, and Peter Gray, a fireman.

Pease was the workman who was near the vat at the time the first explosion occurred, and he was thrown high in the air and had his face, arms and body burned by the flames.

Ward was injured while leading his men in an attack upon the flames. He was mounting a ladder leading to the room of a dwelling at 316 Twelfth street when the cornice of the roof came off, fell and struck him on the head and caused an ugly wound of the scalp. Ward kept his hold upon the ladder and managed to descend. He was immediately hurried to the hospital.

Fireman Peter Gray was burned by the flaming benzine from a small tank which exploded.

Attacked Flames With Vim

Although one of the largest buildings resembled an enormous cauldron when they arrived upon the scene the Camden firemen, nothing discouraged, attacked the fire with vim, and while they could not confine it to the one building, they did splendid work in saving a number of small houses of workmen which surround the plant. They also saved one of the large buildings of the plant.

The police boats Ashbridge and Visitor, from this city, were sent to the fire, but were unable to get up Cooper Creek, which is in the rear of the plant, owing to the ice and mud. The Pennsylvania Railroad’s fire tug Jamestown, however, got to the plant and did effectual service.

Mayor Ellis was early upon the scene and had his hair singed while directing the firemen.

In Philadelphia great interest was taken in the fire, and at one time it looked as though all Camden were ablaze.

It was about half-past eleven yesterday morning that Pease, while working in what is known as building No. 1, at the Greaves plant, a large three-story brick structure, fifty by one hundred and twenty-five feet, was suddenly hurled from his feet by the explosion in a vat. Accounts differ as to what really occurred, but it is certain that there was an explosion. This building is used partly as an office building and partly to mix paints and varnishes.

General Alarm Sounded

For a minute the flames did not spread rapidly and a call was sent to the police headquarters for a chemical engine. By the time this apparatus arrived the whole building was on fire and a general alarm was sent in.

In the few moments elapsing between the call for the chemical engine and its arrival upon the scene several other explosions occurred and caused the employes to flee for their lives. There were only about fifty men, or one-third the regular force, working yesterday.

As soon as the firemen all arrived they tried to save building No. 3, which is of the same size and structure as the No. 1 building, but in which were stored one hundred and eight large vats of various kinds of varnish and paint, and all of them combustible.

Between the two buildings was a narrow archway, and over this the flames crept and defeated the efforts of the fire fighters. Then began the series of explosions that not only lit up the skies, but carried the fire to half a dozen dwelling houses.

These buildings are double houses and are two and one-half stories high. When the house at 306 Twelfth street caught fire all the other occupants of the row started to throw their household goods in the street, and in several cases the sparks set fire to bed clothing. Later in the day the residents, still fearful of their homes, secured wagons and carted their belongings away.

Thought of His Hens’ Eggs

One man, James Demsey, when he found his house afire, thought only for a dozen of Plymouth Rock hens’ eggs which he had secured for the purpose of raising some chickens. Regardless of his danger he dashed into the burning building, secured the eggs, and then made his escape.

Prompt work by the firemen soon put an end to the flames which had attacked the dwellings, but against the blaze which raged in the two buildings of the paint works the fire fighters were helpless. It seemed that the more water was poured upon the buildings the wickeder the flames arose. Not until all the floors had fallen and everything burnable had been consumed did the flames cease their work of destruction, and the walls had been so scorched that half of them fell crashing into the interior of the buildings.

Besides the two large buildings the stable of the works caught fire, but the employes of the plant were able to get all the horses and wagons out safely.

A. Graves, a son of the proprietor of the plant, stated that he did not know how great the loss would be nor could he tell exactly how the fire started. There is about $265,000 insurance upon the plant.

Bucket Brigade at Work

Later the residence at 1194 Linden street, where lives George Brown, was ignited. A bucket brigade did yeoman service there. To add to the excitement word reached the firemen that the plant of the R. F. South Lumber Company, Federal street and Cooper Creek, had been fired by sparks. An engine company was withdrawn and sent to the scene of the new blaze, which was extinguished with a trifling loss.

When the walls of No. 3 building fell, forcing the firemen to abandon their post, one of the recently purchased engines was left under the ruins. It wasn’t there long, however, a rope being attached and the steamer being pulled out by a hundred or so volunteers.

The first two dwellings to take fire were those of C. W. Sleighs, 306, and John Taylor, 304 North Twelfth street. The other houses in the row are tenanted as folows [sic]:

In 302 is Harry Smith; 300, vacant; 224, Frank Pullinger; 222, Mary Rass; 220, Joseph Eccles; 218, Charles Sibert; 216, Fred Exler; 214, Henry Palmer; 212, Charles Mills; 210, Samuel Ivins.
