Phelan. pastor of the chapel, who spoke
of Mrs. Purinton's rare personality and
how she carried sunlight and help to
every place He said we can well sym
pathize with those who miss her in the
home circle, but her influence reached
beyond the home. For l2 or 10 years her
presence was joy In our Sunday home.
Her influence here was only good and
helpful. She had the rare power as q
teacher of youth to find the best side
of the pupil and develop it. Her influ-
ence on her class was remarkable as
was her fidelity.

happiness Of others, a virtue possessed In

accord the highest praise in the giving of
this memorial greeting. The tides of her
life ebbed and flowed In waves of good
influence that will never lose their pow
er.
Miss Nellie Phelan read a memorial
poem and Rev. j. Carroll Perkins, pas
tor of the First Parish church, spoke of
Mrs. Purinton's great fidelity in her home
which in so many ways was an unusual
one and of her ministry to mother and
sister and of the effect of such life to those
about her. he said that many of the
pupils in future years would feel and
recognize that influence OH their own
lives He closed by reciting George ELI

West End Residents Turn Out To Figh'
sparks-Narrow Escape from death
nj. Pleasantdalc Fire.
At four O'Clock Saturday afternoon the
barn at the corner of Ellsworth and Con
sress streets, owned by the heirs of Mrs
Davis and occupied by Mr.. Charles K,
Libby, the expressman, caught fire
from some unknown cause and for u
time threatened to destroy some of the
dwelling houses on the north side Of
Congress street Assistant Superinten
dent Herbert Huntoon OF the Portland
Street Railroad was bound to Union
station on car and saw the smoke
issuing from the caves of the barn. He
jumped of the car and ran to the box at
the corner Of Congress and Vaughan
streets and pulled In an alarm. The de-
partment on reaching the spot found the
old wooden binding oil ablaze and the
George Pickett, Mr.. Elwell and some
other men who happened to be In the
vicinity forced the door of the stable and
succeeded in getting out two hcrses,
some harnesses and several puDgs which
belonged to MIR. Libby When the de-
partment finally got stream of water on
the burning building the wind was car
rying the blazing shingles cross the street
on to the roofs of the houses. A blazing
cinder landed upon the roof Of the double
house occupied ny Leonard II. Gerrish
and S. Coleman Allen and set fire to the
roof in one or two places. There were
some young men on this roof who at
tempted to stamp out the fire but their
efforts were not wholly successful. Chief
Eldridge sent pony chemical to the roof
of this house and put the fire out very
easily. The roof OF the house next fellow
this one caught fire and stream of water
which was turned upon it soon extin-
guished this blaze. just at n most criti-
cal moment the hose which the chief
engineer was relying on to keep these
roofs drenched burst near the hydr9nt
and it was SOME minutes before the sec.
ton could be replaced by a new one and
the hose got back into service.
In the meantime several streams of
water were being used with effect upon
tire burning stable and the fire was
quickly under control. The building
which is very old one was badly
damaged, but the loss cannot be great.
The loss to MIR. Libby will be only from
the amount of grain and hay which was
stored in the loft of the stable.
The cause of the fire is unknown but
1t is supposed to have caught from some
boys who were playing in the loft Of the
stable.
While this fire was In progress an alarm
came In from box II at the corner OF
Portland and Weymouth streets not far
away. There was lively scramble of
iiremen and hitching up of apparatus
but when the box was reached it was
found to be closed with no fire to be
found in the vicinity.
This alarm was rung in from the Aims
House at the request OF Mr.. Hanson who
telephoned that house on Grant street
had caught fire from the sparks of the
Congress street fra. The Grant street
blaze was a very small one and was easily
extinguished.

Exciting Incident of an Early Morning
Fire at PIeasantdale.

There was fire at Pleasantdale early
Saturday morning which caused the de-
,truction of one dwelling house with Its
contents, badly scorched second hous
and some of the occupants barely escaped
with their lives.
1t WAS about $50 o'clock when Mrs
Burke, who lives next to the corner of
Elm on Summer street in Pleasantdale,
was awakened by the breaking of glass,
crackle of burning stuff, the light which
dared through her window. Looking
out, she saw the barn on the premises
wned by Charles Gardner, corner Elm
and Summer streets, all ablaZe and the
fire spreading to the ell Of the house.
she hurried down stairs and aroused the
leighbors who rushed to the burning
ouse. Their noiss aroused Mrs. GaIdi-

of the flames, and Mr.. Gardiner escaped

shape of furniture, was taken from the
house.
1t looked at one time as if the adjoining
houses would be destroyed. The ell OF
Mrs Burke's house caught fire and the
neighbors set to work to remove all the
furniture from hpr house. Other per
sons further from the scene of the fire
got alarmed ana there was general NOV
ing of furniture all along the line. In
the meantime the Pleasantdale Hose com
pany had reached the spot and soon got
to work. They worked hard and most
efficiently. Through their efforts the fire
was confined to the Gardiner house, save
the scorching which resulted to Mrs.
Burke's house, and it should he men,
