Church. made fire in the boiler for the
first time this season. In the rear OF
the boiler is door to it that is used to
clean the boiler out. This is kept
closed all the time. but on this occasion
il was left open. The boiler is situated
in a room built between the main
church and the Sunday school room
and is enclosed. The door spoken of
above opens under the main church.
Under the church there We're some loose
boards and some shavngs that had ac-
cumulated there while some repairs
We're made. When the fire. was made
in the boiler the draft that came from
under the house drew the blaze under
the church through the open door
This set fire to the plank and shavinEs
from which CHE sleepers of the nooT
caught.
Mr. Henry Robbie and Mr. Emmett
Deans came in and saw the smoke
coming from under the church. They
made an investigation and found that
there was considerable fire under the
church. and when they raised the trap
door the blaze bnrstcd out in the
church. Several people who wore pres
ent lent a helping hand. and Ivy means
OF buckets of water the fire was cx-
tinguished without turning in an
alarm.
Several sieepers were badly charred.
and but for the timely discovery the
church would to-day have been in
ashes. The fire was making Roadway
