CALL BOYS NARROW ESCAPE.
From Being Crushed to Death in an
Elevator Shaft.

George Davis, employed as a call boy
at the Hotel Jermyn, had a narrow es-
cape from death yesterday.
He was talking to the elevator run
ner, when he received a call from an
upper floor. He started to enter the
elevator shaft, through the door he had
opened, when he fell, striking on his
face. He was quickly removed to DIR.
O'Malley's office, where it was learned
that three teeth had been knocked out,
and he sustained other bruises.

Peckvllle early yesterday morning
suffered one of the most disastrous
fires that ever visited that part of the
valley. Altogether thirty-four buildings
We're entirely destroyed and five badly
damaged. The loss aggregates $13l,77o,
which is about half covered by insur-
ance. All of the buildings were wooden
structures. The arrival of Scranton
companies alone saved the town from
greater loss.
The fire was in the heart of the town,
and almost all of the big buildings were
burned to the ground. 1t is the general
belief that the, fire was of incendiary
origin. Monroe Scott, a young man 20
years of age, was so badly burned in
the building on Depot street. in which
the fire originated, that he cannot re-
cover. Late last night it was said he
would die before morning.
Among the buildings destroyed We're
the Odd Fellows building, the finest in
the town; Ledyards hall, the Harrison
house, Clarke Bros. general store,
Roberts Bros general store, w. S.
Bloes' drug store, the old Peckville
hotel building, built nearly half a CEN
tury ago, and a large number of dwell
ings, rendering nineteen families home
less

and Ledyard's halls has been of meal

and nearly all have lost their records
and paraphernalia. A carefully COM
piled list of the losses is as follows:

START OF THE FIRE.

A little one-story frame building,
scarce more than band box, was the
scene of the origin of the fire. 1t was
occupied Jointly by Jay Barrett and
II. ID. Dunn. Wednesday, Barrett went
TO Binghamton, and the place was
closed up that night about 10 O'Clock by
Dunn, who said that he left everything
in good shape. There was fire in a
stove In the rear of the store, but it
was low and in no way likely to prove
dangerous during the rest of the night.
Last Saturday Barrett placed Si00 in
surance ON his stock.
Monroe Scott, young man 20 years
of age, was a friend of Barrett's and
spent a good deal of time at his place.
Wednesday night he slept at I3arrett's
house, two blocks from the store, to
protect 1t during the absence of the

night:

guage at the Wilson hose house showed

hose were attached the pressure ranged

RETURN FROM TORONTO
STUDENT VOLUNTEERS
The Attendance From Minnesota
Was Large and Delegates Were
a-- Is Royalty Entertained. ~

E.. w. Peck, state secretary of the Y.
NJ c.. A., who went to Toronto at. the
head Of the Minnesota delegation to the
Student Volunteers convention at Toron-
to-, returned this morning. He has at
tended conventions for fifteen years, and
pronounces this to have been the most
pleasant and profitable affair that he ever
attended. E. .,es-
In the Minnesota party were sixty-one
persons-twenty-fo represented the uni
versity, ten Hamline, and ten Carleton.
Every church board was represented. by
one or more leading members. These
quadriennial conventions are most inspir-
ing and result-producing. The Toronto
Daily Star says Of 1t:
Frankly, this student volunteer business
has moro bottom and brains and body to it
than any university Greek letter society or
political club or lodge or order; that claims
the time and attention of our clever young
men. The platform in Massey hall these days
commands farther skyline of life and serv-
ice than any place in legislature or parlia-
ment. The real statesmen are here. 1t is
they who deal with big affairs and put their
hands to vast enterprises. What are our poor
parish politics compared with this world wide
sweep? What is our trade policy compared
with the evangelization OF the world in this
generation? Is it any wonder that such a
movement has drawn to it the brightest and
hrainiest?
Mr.. Kitchener, the statistician, report
ed that twenty-five countries and forty
five institutions were represented and
that 2,9h5 delegates were registered. Col
leges to the number OF S37 were repre-
sented by 1868 regular delegates and 121
from faculties: 81 medical colleges with
$50 student and 26 faculty delegates; 81
theological seminaries with AIS student
and IS faculty delegates; professors, ZIP;
members and secretaries of 8. v. M, ~;
