A BLAZE AT
ST. MICHAELS;
Decorations About the Altar
Take Fire But Are Ex-
tinguished.

But for tn goodness of Father Con-
atty and several members of the con-
gregation and in prompt action, St.
Michaels church would have been the
scene of cOnflagratiOn and posi-
BILE panic yesterday.
High mass was being solemnized
and the church was well filled with
Pensioners when the Christmas trim
mings of evergreen, which had not
been. removed from the altar, took fire
from candle and sheet of flames
shot upwards, threatening the build
ing and creating CONSERVATION among
many in the audience.
Father Conaty was in the midst of
his sermon when the accident occur
red and with rare GOODNESS and pres
ence of mind quieted the congregation,
advising them to stay in their seats
and calling upon the men to assist
in putting out the flames. Coats were
thrown over the burning mass of dec
CREATIONS and the flames were soon ex-
tinguished.
The congregation remained in the
church and despite the smoke and tenn
porary excitement incident to the ac-
cident, Father Conaty continued the
services. Considering the inflamma-
BILE condition of the decorations, the
escape from more serious results is
considered remarkable.

The election of a board of directors

there will be any great change in the
officers of the association, though
there may be some changes In the per-

The Building and Loan association

and is now completing the first half
of its twentieth year. During all of

in the erection of homes to the value
of $125,000, 1t has not on its books
