Narrow Escape of Three Young People
from Death by Fire.

Three young people had narrow es-
cape from meeting their death in the
flames at O'Clock this morn
ing. They were the two
daughters and son of Michael Ryan, a
Waterman in the employ Of the Central
railroad, residing at the southeast corner
of CASTOR and West Broad streets. The
building is two-story frame structure,
owned 10y the Minis estate, for which n.
c. Mills is agent, of whom it was rented
By Mr.. RYAN. The latter sublet the first
floor to Bitch & Hunter, who utiliz d 1t as
a grocery and dwelling place, both OF the
gentlemen beng unmarried and with
out families. The second story
was occupied as a residence by Mr.. Ryan
and his -four children. Early last night
one of the daughters went 70 spend the
night with friends and Mr.. Ryan went on
duty at the railroad carpenter shops.
LEAPING FOR THEIR LIVES.
At 2 O'clock the three young people
asleep in the secOnd-stOry Of the building
were awakened by pounding on the walls
and shouting In the yard. On looking
out of their windows they found that
the entire lower portion of the
structure was enveloped 10
names, which were rapidly leaping
toward them, and jeopardizng their lives.
Not a moment was TO be lost, and without
attempting 20 save any OF their effects, all
sprang from a window in their night
clothes to a shed beneath, and thence
into the yard. Neighbors provided them
with clothing, and made them as comfort
able as possible for the night.
SOUNDING THE ALARM.
An alarm turned in from signal sta
ton No. 80 summoned the fire depart
ment to the scene, but the flames had
gained too much Roadway to make it
possible for the department to save the
building, the interior and walls of which
were so thoroughly burned as to render
them unfit for further use. Had a high
wind prevailed at the time sew
eral adjoining buildings would
probably have shared sim
liar fate. Mr.. Ryan's effects consist
ed OF household furniture and
family wearing apparel valued in the
aggregate at $1,000, on which there
Is partial insurance. The stock of Bitch
& Hunter, which was not large, was also
totally destroyed, but whether it was COW
cred by insurance could not be ascer-
tanned this morning. One of the neigh
bors who was first on the scene says The
flames apparently had their origin near
the entrance to the grocery. Many Of the
people residing in the vicinity incline 10
the belief that the blaze was the result Of
incendiarism.

KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
Inoendiary Resolutions Objected to by
the Oroer.

Nne OEOef.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 6--The conven-
tion called by the Knights of Labor, which
opened here last Monday, closed last
night. The sessions were held on every
night of the week except two. The con-
vention opened under excellent auspices
and with hopes Of accomplishing much
toward practically solving the labor ques-
ton on the Pacific coast, but any good re-
suits that might have been
attained favorable tn working
men, were defeated by resolutions offered
by socialists, who were largely repre-
sented. The subjects submitted for the
consideration of the convention were the
Chinese question, convict labor. and the
cause of the present commercial depres.
sion. At the third meeting a resolution
was adopted to the effect that the Chinese
be notified to leave San Francisco within
sixty days. This was finally amended to
to read ''immediately," and that owners
OF property occupied by Chinese should
be notified that unless they turned the
Chinese out their property would be
endangered. The same evening the
knights Of Labor delegation left the hall,
informing the convention that they could
not endorse resolution tending toward
violence, and gave notice OF their with
drawal. This practically ended the con-
ventlon, as the knights example in with
drawing from it was followed by mum.

The Festivals OF St. Ambrose and Of the
Immaculate Conception OF the Virgin.
To-day Is the Feast Of ST. Ambrose.
Bishop Of Milan, Confessor and Doctor of
the Church, and it is also the vigil of the
Feast d the Immaculate Conception OF
the Blessed Virgin Mary, which occurs
tO-morrow in the Roman Catholic church.
This is the PatrCnal Feast OF the church
IN TINS country, Is a holy day OF Obliga-
ton, and Is celebrated with an octave.
IL Is one OF the festivals in connection
with which a long controversy prevailed.
II Is well known that the doctrine Of the
Immaculate conception OF the Virgin. or
her conception without the faint Of origi.
nal sin, was, until some years ago. a
theological dogma on which the Church
OF Rome had pronounced no posi-
tive decision. Though accepted bv the
majority OF doctors, and strenuouslv
maintained by many theological writer's.
II was nevertheless denied by some and
was pronounced by several popes 10 be
an article OF faith which was neither 10
be abso uiely enforced or condemned-a
point, In fact, upon which the members
OF the church we're free 20 use their own
private judgment. But about thirty years
ago the question that for centuries had
been allowed 70 remain an open subject
Tor discussion was determined In the N.
nrmative BY adeliverance OF Pope Plus tx.
Inc doctrine Of the Immaculate concep.
tlon OF the Virgin now forms an essential
belief. "

however, been secured in Brunswick and
