IN RAIN OF FIRE
A Pastor Leads His Congregation in
Singing a Hymn.

Peoria, Ill, Dec. 2s.-During the
Christmas exercises in the German
Methodist Episcopal church at Pek1n,
Ill. the large tree loaded with gifts and
lighted by hundreds OF candles, caught
fire ard blazed up fercely. The church
was packed to the doors and women
screamed and several tainted, when the
pastor, Rev. William H Traeger. COM
nanded the audience to be seated He
said the emergency of fire had been
provided for and there was no danger
if everyone kept still.
Then he gave out familiar hymn. di-
rected the organist to play up good and
strong and ordered the choir to sing
loud. His cool attitude restored con-
fdence and the people began to sink
back into their seats.
Meanwhile, as the fire rOared and
cracked, the music grew louder. The
pastor fiic6ed burning embers from the
tree that alighted upon his hymn book
to the floor and stepped upon them, at
the same time singing at the top Of his
voice.
The fire brigade improvised for ser
vice in case a fire should break out.
threw a heavy wet tarpauIin over the
tree and the fire was stamped out.
Then. despite the fact that the church
was filed with smoke, the exercises pro-
ceeded, minus the gifts, but with plenty
of music

YULCANIZER BURST.
And Scattered Fourteen Teeth to the
Winds Besides Frightening People.

The vulcanizer in the office of DR.. 8.
W. Lyman at 7O5 Kansas avenue explod-
ed yesterday afternoon, wrecking the
whole working room.
The explosion was as loud as the report
of a cannon. and people in the neighbor-
hood thought that a building had been
blown to atoms.
The FIRE department headquarters is
nearly in the rear of the office and the
firemen came over the roofs to rescue the
perishing, but the only thing that really
persisted was set of false teeth. After
the explosion only two out of fourteen
have to live on milk for awhile:
There Is a dreSsmaking eSta blishment in
the. rear Of the dental office and two young
ladies, who were having dresses tried on
attempted to make their escape from the
building, which they supposed was wreck
ed, in different stages of dishabille-
In the shoe store below a young man
was trying a pair of high-laced shoes on
a young lady and had one about half
laced when the explosion came. The
young lady screa med and jumped TO the
top of the settee, but the young man, who
was cool, hung onto the foot and conttn-
ued lacing the shoe.
The vulcaniZ0T attains a temperature of
800 degrees TO vulcanize rubber and car
ries about 50 pounds of steam It had
probably reached 80 pounds pressure
when the explosion occurred No one was
in the room and no one was hurt, but the
shelving and work bench and the plaster
ing were total wrecks.

THREAD MAKERS UNITE.
Clark and Coates Product to Be Han
died Together.

New York Dec. 28.-Three great
thread manufa curing companies which
practically control the business of the
country, are about to combine. These
concerns are George Clark & Brother.
Newark, n. J.; the Clark Mile-End
Spool Cotton company, with factory in
Newark, and the Coates Thread com
pany with factory at Pawtucket, r. I.
In a circular to the trade. these three
firms announce that after Jan. 1, their
separate selling Offices in New York will
be abandoned and their business will
be handled by the Spool Cotton COM
pany, at 345 Broadway. The latter com
pany has just been incorporated under
the laws of New Jersey. All of these
concerns were originally English and
have still English connections, but their
American business, it is said, is larger
than that in the parent country. Their
factories here were established to avoid
the heavy tariff on their product.
It is stated that the American factor
les will be run Independently and that
the consolidation of selling agencies
does not imply that a trust has been
formed

SUED LAST NIGHTS SHOW
n. B. Leavitt Sought to Attach "a
Trip to Coontown.n

An attempt was made to attach the
scenery and baggage of "A Trip to
CoontoWn" company after the perform
ance at the Crawford theater last night
but it proved inefectual because the
sherin's officers were not supplied with
an indemnity bond.
Late yesterday afternoon there was
filed by DObbs & StOker in the district
court a suit for $1,000 damages brought
by NJ. B. Leavitt of San Francisco
against Cole and johnson of the A
Trip to CoOntown" company. The petit
tion recited that a contract entered into
by Cole and Johnson with NJ B.
LeaVitt, covering a period of IA weeks,
had been broken, and asked that at
in part the claim made for damages
by the seizure of the property of the
company.
The attachment papers were issued
and armed with these Under Sheriff
Hall Williams and Deputy Sheriff Stew
art went back on the stage after the
performance last night. They were &C
companied by Mr.. DObbS of the Topeka
firm of attorneys. A demand was made
on Manager Samuel Corker for all the
baggage and scenery of the company,
but in response to the demand he set
up a claim for all property with the ex-
ceptiOn of a single box of properties,
and other members of the company
claimed all the baggage. AS the suit
was brought against Cole and Johnson
instead of COrker, Under Sheriff Will
Hams refused to hold the baggage IN
less an indemnity bond was furnished
by Leavitt's attorneys. Mr.. Dobbs said
he was not in a position to furnish it,
and the officers left the theater.
Leavitt makes a business of playing
attractions at theaters through the
western states. taking a percentage of
the receipts and furnishing the COM
panies transportation. Manager Corker
claims that LeaVitt failed to furnish
the company transportation as agreed
in the contract, and he took advantage
of the violation to cut loose from
Leavitt's supervision.
