and unite with them in the building OF
the proposed new church.
In the event Of such an amalgama-
ton. both pastors, Rev. S. f. Mathews
and Rev. Thomas de Gruchy, will have
to resign and either one reelected or
a new minister be chosen. 1t is under
stood that Rev. de Gruchy has received
an offer from church In New York,
and may accept it If any change oc-
ours.
The members Of the First church held
a meeting last evening and decided not
to accept the proposition made by the
jackson street people, owing to the
fact that they have gone so far with
their building plans, and the church
secretary was instructed to notify the
members of Rev. de Gruchy's church to
that effect.
This practically settles the scheme
unless the Jackson street people unite
with the First church.

MADE GOOD TIME.

At 8 o'clock Tuesday afternoon an
alarm of fire was sounded from box
81 at the corner of Blakely and Drink
er streets. The fire proved to be in a
barn owned by John NJ. Coleman, on
Apple street, which originated in some
unknown manner in the hay on the
first floor. 1t was quickly subdued,
however, by neighbors, who threw the
hay into the street and turned the
hose upon it before any damage was
done. The Independent and John Il.
Smith Hose companies responded in
quick time.
The former made one of the quick
est runs since it organized, it requiring
but three minutes to reach the fire
This was remarkable when it is ex-
planned that it required time to un-
hitch from the lumber wagon, take off
the harness and then bring the team
in the building to hitch it to the ap'
paratus Permanent man John Var
Horn deserves, and is receiving many
compliments for his promptness in re-
spending to alarms.

A proposition has been made by the
members of the jackson Street Baptist
church to the members Of the First

Gently destroyed by fire, for the ANAL
gamation of the two bodies under one
head, to be known as "The First Bap-
tist Church of Scranton"
At a conference meeting held in the
jackson Street church after the morn
ing service last Sunday a communica-
tion was passed upon and submitted to
the members of the First church for
their approval, asking for the appoint
ment of a committee to confer with
them, but from what can be learned
the amalgamation will never be
brought about.
The members Of the Jackson street
church are heavily in debt for their
building and have outstanding mort
cages with a Philadelphia company for
about $4,000, which are liable to a
foreclosure at any time The First
church is in a position to raise about

If they consent to apply this sum on
the indebtedness of the Jackson street

ceive them with open arms and take
them into their spacious building, which
is sufficiently large enough to accom-.
modate both congregations.
But the First church people do not
