one Of the most horrible c2t2strOpheS IN
the history Of the county occurred between
8 and 10 O'Clock last Tuesday night in Sum
nit township, two miles north Of Meyers
dale. The house of Samuel Meyers, a prom
inent and wealthy farmer Of that neighbor-
hood, was consumed by fire, and two of his
daughters perished in the flames. The chill
dren burned were Clara and Missouri, aged
nine and twelve years respectively. The
ire originated in the kitchen and had gain
ed such headEay before It Was discovered
that the occupants of the house were almost
suaocaied with smoke before they were
aroused. Mr. and Ms Meyers escaped from
the house in their night clothes, and the
husband made frantic and heroic effort to
reach the room in which his children were
sleeping. This room was separated from the
one occupied by himself end wife by solid
wall
The agonizing shrieks Of the girls could be
heard calling for help form the bed chamber
in which they were imprisoned by the
flames, and the father made a bold dash
into the burning hallway and attempted 10
mount the stairs through q sheet Of flame, in
a mad effort to rescue his darlings, but it
was too late, and he was forced to retreat
from the building, after his face and hands
had been scorched and blistered. ladder
was procured and hoisted TO the room in
which the poor children were roasting. but
the heat was 50 intense that no one could
venture to ascend it, and the crowd which
had by this time assembled were compelled
to stand idly by and watch the progress Of
the FIRE, realizing that they were powerless
TO rescue the unfortune children from its
deadly clutches.
The house was occupied by Mr.. Liehty,
blind man, % years old Mrs. Elizabeth
Meyers, Paul Werner, Charles Butler, VIM.
Countryman, Of Jennertown, Amanda Boy
er, Mr. and Ms. Peter Meyers, and their
four daughiers-Lizzie. Emma, Clara and
Missouri Butler, Werner and Countryman

Mr. William NJ. irvine. representing tne
New York Tribune Fresh-Air Fund, the
sweetest Of all charities, visited our noun
tain town last week for the purpose Of in
te-esting our ministers and newspapers, and
through them the public generally, in that
behalf The object OF the Fresh-Air Fund,
as we understand il, Is for the purpose Of
giving the children of poor people in the
oyer-crowded tenement quarters Of the me-
tropolis an opportunity to escape from the
impure and fetid air Of their miserable
homes for a few weeks during the heated
season and enjoy the pure and invigorating
air Of the country. Last year over $4,000
was contributed for this purpose and Il, ,I95
children were sent to the country for two
weeks visit The managers Of the Fresh
Air Fund ask the hospitable people Of the
country to entertain the children, who are
selected as nearly as possible in accordance
with the wishes Of the hosts and viii be

homes at the expiration Of their visit by

his interest in the charity by conducting the
children to and from the country. The one
requisite that is strcna0usly insisted upon
is cleanliness, and the youngsters always
leave their homes thoroughly scrubbed and
clean. They are all subjected to q careful
examination by physician before leaving
their homes, to prevent carrying contagious
diseases with them. Children were enter
tained last year in ali Of the New England
states and in New York and New Jersey
and as far west in Pennsylvania as Fulton
county. The managers Of the fund hope to
extend thu work this season and would be
pleased TO receive applications for children
from some Of the hospitable people OF SOM
erset county.
In concluding his report for last year the
manager of the Fresh-Air Fund says: 'The
Tribune has nothing bat words Of praise for
the thousands Of kind, hospitable people in
the country who have entertained the chill
dren. They are the ones who are put to
the greatest trouble and inconvenience, for
it j. they who do the work Their gener-
osity strengthens the bond between country
and city Eternity alone will show the re
suits OF their patience and care and love"

NEl0HBORlNG CHURCHES.


The Rev. H. McHenry, who has
been laboring at Delhi for the past
eight months, was, on Tuesday even
ing, duly installed as minister of the
congregation. By appointment of the
Presbytery, Rev. VIM. Gardner, St.
Peter, preached the sermon; Rev.
John Sinclair, Redwood Falls, gave
the charge to the minister; and Rev.
J. G.. Riheldaffer, DID,, who presided,
gave the charge to the people. Though
snow made the roads heavy, and the
thermometer registered 10 degrees be-
low zero, there was a full church, and
great enthusiasm was displayed in
the hand-shaking with the pastor at
the close of the services. The church
has now a membership of more than
hundred, almost entirely Scotch, and
became self-supporting this year on
the attainment of it's fifth birthday.

Foot Crushed.

Tuesday morning Jas. E. Patterson,
baggageman for Conductor Hughes,
had his right foot crushed under the
driving wheel Of the engine, necessi-
tating amputation above the ankle.
Young Patterson was in the act of
stepping into the engineers cab as the
engine was moving slowly while switch
ing at the depot, and his foot slipped
with the above result. The unlucky
man was taken Immediately to DR..
Pease's Office, where Drs. Finn and
Pease successfully amputsted the in
jured member just above the ankle.
The father and mother of young Pat
terson-ex-C Conductor Robt. Patterson
and wife, who now live on their farm
in Three Lakes-were promptly sent
for, and are now giving their son the
best of care at the Commercial House.
We learn that Conductor Pa.terson's
oldest boy lost his life by railroad
accident but little more than a year
ago, in Oregon, just as he was about
to be promoted to the position of con-
ductor. Young Patterson will have the
poor consolation that his accident
might have been much worse.

A large crowd gathered at the Pres
byterian church, Delhi, last Friday
night for the annual supper. The Ia
dies of the congregation had made
ample provision in fish, fowl, pie and
coffee. A table was extempo.ised in
one side of the church, running it's
whole length. The people began to
assemble in groups soon after six
o'clock, supper going on all the time.
After the body had been regaled, the
mental man was taken into account.
Rev. H. McHenry, pastor, called the
meeting to order soon after nine, and
called on Mr.. Gillies to sing as solo,
"The Model Church." which was rem
dered most acceptably. Rev. John Sin
clair, of Redwood Falls, then gave
lively talk on "Presbyterianism in
Scotland" He was followed by the
Hon. o. B. Turrel and Mr.. Andrew
Stewart, Redwood, who spoke respect
lively on the subjects of "What
Scotch congregation on the prairie can
do;" and the making of character in
the formative period of life." The ad-
dresses were interspersed by recita-
tons from a class of children trained
by Miss Cumming, all Of whom &C.
quilted themselves admirably. Miss
Mcdonald presided at the organ, and
led the congregation in the singing of
several hymns during the evening.
The meeting was the most successful
the congregation had enjoyed in its
five years history, and was a good
testimony to the faithfulness and pop
ularity of the young minister.
