A NARROW ESCAPE
From Serious Fire on the South Side Yes
terday Morning.

terday Morning.
A serious conlagration, and possibly
cremation of several persons, was
narrowly prevented early yesterday
morning by an almost prudential inter
ference.
Between one and two o'clock Edward
Albinger the South Chapline street sa-
loonist. entered the family residence at
No. 1910 Chapline street, and found the
house full of smoke. At first he was
not much alarmed. thinking that prob
ably his mother had left some damp
wood in the kitchen stove to dry and 1t
had started to smoke. He went to the
kitchen and found that the smoke came
from some other source. He immedl-
ately jumped to the conclusion that
the house was on fire, and so called to
his mother. who was-sleeping next to
the front room on the lower floor. He
noticed that the smoke was rolling out
of the front room, and bursting open
the door saw that the whole mantel-
piece was ablaZe. His brothers wife
and child were in the room fast asleep
and unconscious of impending danger
The mantel had caught fire from a
coal fire in the CRATE and was gaining
considerable Roadway. It required a
half dozen buckets full of water to ex-
tinguish it. The inmates Of the house
had good cause to congratulate them
selves upon their deliyerance by the
timely arrival Of Mr.. Albinger. for they
were certainly in the midst of danger
Of suffocation and probably death by
the flames.

A NEW CHURCH EDIFICE
Decided Upon by the Local Catholic
Authorities.
It will be Located at Edgington
Lane, on Ground Owned by
Bishop Donahue-A Fund for the
Building Already Established.
A new Catholic Church is to be built

A new Catholic Church is to be built
in this vicinity.
This was decided upon few days ago
by Bishop Donahue and his council.
Ii will be located at Edgington's
Lane. on ground owned by the bishop
of the diocese. This ground was pur-
chased for a burial place by the st.
Alphonsus congregation about 1872 or
70. Ii was never used and has been
living unoccupied ever since. Bishop
Whelan afterwards relieved the st.
Alphonsus congregation of the ground,
which includes eight or ten acres and
took it off their hands. The new
church will be built by the Mt de
Chantal congregation, and sufficient
ground for the church, parish school
and residence has been donated by
Bishop Donahue. Rev. Father kluser,
of Mt. de Chantal, IS already raising
money among the members of the Cath
olic denomination and has quite
handsome sum secured for this pur-
nose. A fund for a new church was
established some time ago. as the mat
ter has been under consideration for
several years.
The necessity for another church has
been recognized for long time, but
il has only been until very recently
that those interested decided that they
we're sufficiently prepared. About forty
families have been worshipping at the
Mount. and with those who come TO the
city churches. a respectable sized con-
greeation can be formed. The loca-
ton of the church is a most desirable
one. being situated in the suburban dis
trict of Wheeling, which is broadening
out and is growing remarkably. No
plans have been prepared for the
church and other adjacent buildings
which will be erected, but the church
is eXnected to cost about $4,000.

May Smith Robbins appeared in the
title role of Little TriXie" at the Grand
Opera House last night, and was well
received by a large audience. The play
is as good as ever, and with the eX-
ception of a number of new songs and
specialties. which have been introduc-
ed. the comedy is about the same as
last season. The company is an ele-
CANT one and contains some excellent
talent. Fred Robbins is an excellent
comedian and impersonates the char
acter of Socrates" in fine style. Miss
De Haven. Miss Lorene Jansen. Maude
Hazlett. George Dorsey, Hugo Cannon
and Nat Franklin are all good in their
