A Church's Narrow Escape.

Thomas Moses, young man residing
on Ridge street, discovered st. Mary's
Greek Catholic church on Fern street to
be on fire at twenty minutes to one
o'clock on Sunday morning. The fire
alarm was sounded and chimes of the
church were also started, bringing the
residents and firemen from their warm
beds in very short order.
Those who went first to the scene of
the fire found it to be located in the
northwest corner of the building, and
smouldering along the entire distance
from the ground to the cornce, having
been caused by defective flue. The
bucket brigade went to work with plenty
of spirit but poor facilities, and no effec-
tive check could be put on the spread of
the flames.
The small hose carriage was the first
OF the apparatus to arrive on the ground.
Connection was made at Ridge and
Walnut streets, and the water turned on
just in time to extinguish the blaze
which had broken out then at three diff
ferent places.
The second carriage came few mi m
utes later and connected its hose at
Ridge and Front streets. Being unable
to haul the hook and ladder truck two
of the ladders were carried to the scene
and with the aid of axes the firemen
were enabled to get at the fire much
better.
AT no time after the arrival of the wa
ter was the church in any great danger,
but the manner in which the fire worked
itself around under the woodwork was
surprising, and kept the fremen guess
ing where it would next brake out. BY
tearing out the covering from either
inside or outside of the church it could
have been eXtinguished earlier, but the
men preferred to wait and fight it with
out making any unnecessary destruction
of rhe church to find it.
At half-past four o'clock no further
trace of fire could be found and the hose
and trucks were taken back to their
house.
he loss is estimated by Chas. Dus-
heck, one of the trustees, at 5000.
The pastor, Rev. Grill Guloyich, is
extremely grateful to the borough Off
cials for allowing the fire apparatus to
leave the borough, and also to the mem
bers of the fire company and all who
assisted in saving the church.
This building was erected in 1887 and
is considered one of the finest churches
in the town. The interior decorations
are not surpassed by any in the county
and is filled with costly paintings. 1t is
valued at $4,000.

more disastrous fires. The question of

it will soon be known from what quar-
