EDDY TRUSTEES ENJoINED.
Ordered Not to Make the Proposed
$1,000, 900 Gift.

BOSTON, Mass, December 3O-Disput.
ing the power of Mrs. Mary Baker Glove,
Eddy. head of the Christian Science
Church. to make disposition Of SO large a
part of her fortune, formal notices have
been served upon Trustees McLallan
Fernald and Baker, having in charge Mrs.
Eddy's estate, ordering them not to make
the S1.0O0.0O0 gift to found charitable
institution. recently announced, or any
other appropriation from Mrs. Eddy's es-
tate pending the outcome Of litigation
According to former Senator Chandler
this action is to be followed by new
lawsuit involving the Christian Science
head and trustees, brought by the next
friends" Mrs. Eddy's son. George w.
Glover; his daughter, Mary Baker Glover,
and Mrs. Eddy's adopted son, Dr. Ebene-
ger j. Foster Of Waterbury, VT.
The contention of Mr. Chandler is that
the proposed appropriation of a million
dollars is in direct violation of Mrs.
Eddy's deed Of trust of March g. 1907, by
which she turned over all her property
to the three trustees for life. reserving
only the right to use the income and
certain realty, which act marked the
partial termination Of litigation against
her and the trustees by the next friends"
a few months since.
The new action, 1t is declared, will be
entirely independent of another suit now
pending against F. s.. Streeter Mrs
Eddy's attorney in Concord, demanding
information concerning the deed of trust
for Sl25. 900 set aside by Mrs Eddy for
the benefit of her son, George W. Glover,
and his daughter.

FIRE PANIC IN PRISON.
1000 Men Locked in While Institu-
ton Was Threatened.

PITTSBURG, Pa. December 3O-The
chapel of the Allegheny county work
house. located at Claremont. along the AL
legheny river about twelve miles north
east of the city, was destroyed by a fire
yesterday, which was attended by sensa-
tional scenes. There are more than LOCO
prisoners in the institution. and most of
these had attended worship just a few
minutes before Christmas decorations ig-
nited from an open fireplace. and instant
ly the whole interior was a mass Of
flames.
The prisoners were on their way to the
messrooms. but were hurried to their cells
and locked up. Then began such a chorus
of cries and prayers and imprecations as
is seldom heard. Some of the prisoners
were terror-stricken. more were resentful
and the dominating sentiment of the walls
was that the flames might lick up the
entire institution.
At one time the authorities seriously
considered releasing the prisoners from
their cells and assembling them In tho
waIied-in yards to prevent a possible hoio-
caust, but old men at the institution coun-
seled against this. except in extreme ne
cessity. They recalled the fire in the early
seventies. when the first chapel was en-
tirely destroyed. Then the inmates were
assembled In the yard and they united in
a wholesale delivery. All who could scaled
the walls and many of them swan across
the Allegheny river. Some were never
recaptured.
The fire-fightng force of the institution
yesterday confined the flames to the
chapel, which was completely destroyed.
but several times the administration. build
ing and the east and west cell wings were
in imminent danger. The excitement con-
tinued long after the fire was contro Led.
and in a number of cases force had to b0
resorted to to restrain the obstreperous
inmates.
The actual loss is between 5000 and
$4,000.

Magnitude of Work on Locks.

The engineers on the Panama canal are
dealing in vast figures these days. and
the Canal Record. just received. CONVEYS
in a graphic manner an idea of the ma g-
nitude Of the work to be done upon the
locks Of the canal. 1t is stated. for in
stance. that the amount of concrete to be
used in building these locks would suffice
to construct eight--oom city houses OF
the generous size % thirty by thirty feet
with two. stories and basement. concrete
floors and concrete roof to the number Of
22.s42. Allowing each of these houses a
seventy-five-foot lot. they would make a
continuous street from New York to
Philadelphia. with enough houses left over
to make row one side of the street
from Phila delphia to Washington. The
houses would furnish suburban homes. for
100 900 peonle or. according to city stand
ards. would house a population equal to
that of the city of Minneapolis.
