New York, Dec. 21-The famous
"Two nines' fire alarm summon1ng
more fire apparatus than any other
alarm. provided for by New York's fire
department, was sounded, tonight, for a
terrific lire which destroyed the six

Works at 1882 Mott street and the
four-story varnish factory of the firm,
run under the name of the II. Herr
mann Lumber Co. About s250O00 dam
age was done. Battalion Chief Coleman
persisted in the fall of two great walls
of the factory. There was a frignt1ul
panic among the Italian inmates OF the
swarming front and rear tenements
opposite and in the rear OF the burning
buildings, and the firemen ana ponce
reserves from three precincts mad the
utmost difficulty in getting the people
out to the street.
The fire started on the third floor and
when the firemen arrived, the hrst,
second and third floors were in blaze.
Third, fourth and fifth alarms were sent
in in rapid succession and about an
hour after the fire started Chief Kruger

Cumberland County Rescript.

Harry n. Twombly VS.. The CONSOLE
dated Electric Light Co. Rescript,
Savage, j.
IA 40-foot extension ladder used
in the business of an electric light
company is held not to be a common
tool or appliance within the meaning
of the rules that there is no duty rest
ing on a master to inspect. during their
use those common tools and appliances
with which everyone is conversant, and
that if they wear out and become de-
fective, the employer may rely upon
the presumption that the servant using
them will first detect the defect, and
that the matter is not to be held for
negligence when the tool is common
one, of the fitness of which the servant
is as competent to judge as the mas
ter.
Nor is the replacing of a doZy or
rotten round in such a ladder to be
held as such Ordinary repairs" as a
workman is usually expected to make,
in the absence of proof that the de-
fective condition of the round was
known to the servant.
SIT is the duty of the master to
exercise reasonable care in providing
suitable appliances for his servants to
use. and in inspecting them afterWard,
50 as to ascertain their condition and,
when necessary. to put them into a
proper state of repair. And while there
are some duties respecting the repair
of appliances which the master may
so delegate to a servant as to escape
responsibility for the negligence of the
in,
others which the master may not thus
delegate.
4-While the master may delegate to
n servant such ordinary repairs as
arise incidentally from the use of
properly constructed appliances, and
such as they must naturally require
from time to time by reason of their
use. and be relieved from responsibility
therefor. the court is of opinion that
the replacing of Il rotten round in the
ladder in this case was not such an
ordinary repair
5--A MASTER using ladders in his
business, cannot escape the conse-
quences of the breaking of a rotten
round in a ladder. by merely showing
that he had a foreman. and that tina,
foreman had the general oversight OF
all appliances with the general duty
among others, of seeing that repair:
We're made, when necessary. The neg.
ligence of such a foreman, in the mat
ter of inspecting or repairing such
ladder. is the negligence of the mas
ter, and not the negligence of a fellow
servant of the one injured by it's break
ing.
1.-THE court is unable to say tina
the verdict was clearly wrong either a.
to liability or amount of damages.
Motion for new trial overruled.

the professor said:
The mind reaches forth beyond it's nat

DUTY TO CHILDREN
In Line Of Religious Education Made
Text by Dr.. lorimer.

New York, Dec. 21.-In a sermon on
The Neglect of Religious Education ~
the Rev. DR.. George c. Lorimer of the
Madison Avenue Baptist church, has
declared that if every church in New
York were held accountable for its
DUTY to children the consequences
would be~fearful.
Up to within recent period great
efforts have been made to secure re-
hgious education for our children" he
said, "but this has declined in the last
few years. Perhaps this indisposition
may in measure be accountable for
our decline in religion. The people
nave lost particular interest in the
Bible. If the church of Jesus Christ
is to meet the emergencies of the day
she must educate.
You may have the most beautiful en-
vironments and still be as foul and base
as you could possibly be in the slums.
when we talk of religious education
We mean more than the mere charging of
a nature with religious facts. We want
that nature to breathe and live it's re-
ligiouS education.
The wholly religious problem is sim
ply that the community has no taste for
religious culture.
Il hold that if Protestant churches were
as interested in the education of their
children as the Roman Catholic church
Is there would be no religious problem in
our country l don't see why all the
sects cannot come together and teach rev.
eerencc to God and that there is one great
judge and one great religion. The church
IS the natural guardian of the home and
It is the hope of the home. In higher
life the family is lax. You find men and
women who come together are married.
have few days honeymoon and then
there is divorce. Perhaps the divorce is
hardly put away in the safe when one or
both marry again. This heinous blot on
our age and country is being repeated ev-
cry day in our so-called higher circles
and is contributing greatly toward de-
st rQyinn home life in A m rica >,
