The Fork hill Meeting.
Arrangements for What is
Expected to be One of the
Greatest Revival Meetings
ever Held in Lancaster
County--Letter from Evan
gelist Montgomery.

Plans are now being made for
The big revival meeting to be
held at Fork Hill Baptist church,
beginning on Saturday before
the second Sunday in August,
that is to say, on the 10th day of
the month, and continuing for
ten days or two weeks. The pas
tor, the Rev. r. j. Blackmon,
and his faithful church workers
never do anything by halves
and it goes without saying that
everything will be in readiness
by the time of the opening of
m Getting.
AS previously announced, the
pastor will be assisted in the
meeting by that we'll known
and successful evangelist, the
Rev. ID. p. Montgomery, of Char
lesion, Missouri, who has a warm
place In the hearts of the peo-
pie of Lancaster, his native
county. In anticipationof the fact
that immense crowds will be at
tracted by Mr.. Montgomery's
preaching, arrangements are
being made to hold the services
outside the church, which is in
adequate to accommodate extra
ordinarily large congregations.
Comfortable seats and other con-
veniences will be provided.
1t has been suggested that those
living at distance who desire to
attend the services regularly will
find it pleasant and convenient
to come prepared to camp on the
grounds for a few days. The
officers of the church will co oper-
ate with all wishing to make such
arrangement to remain on the
grounds day and night, doing
everything in their power to con-
tribute to the comfort of the
camping parties.
Mr.. Blackmon, the pastor, has
received the following letter from
Evangelist Montgomery in rela
ton to the coming meeting, writ
ten from his Missouri home:

DOHERTY AND KING DRAW.
Another Clean and Fast Exhibition
 Big Crowd See Bout.

Htg Crowd See Bout.
 Jeff Doherty of this city and "Mosey'' King, formerly of New London, and now of this city also, boxed clean, fast go of twelve rounds at Music hall last night before an enthusiastic gath ering of $500 people, the largest crowd that has turned out for a boxing ex- hibition in New Haven in many day.
 Unusual interest was taken in the exhibition, as manifested by the as- sembly delegations attending from Springfield, Hartford, New London Waterbury and New York.
 Between thetwo men at the close of the fight it was hard to pick, but al- most everyone was satisfied that 1t was called draw, although among the wise ones at the ring side there were many that believed King had a shade the better of 1t. He showed all his old-time steam and cleverness, and many of Dohertys wicked blows that looked to the galleries as landing found no better resting place than Mosey's" init, which almost invariably he seemed able to keep between his body and head and his opponents glove, In three rounds he had Doher- ty seriously worried, and the Rtter re- sorted to his old trick of holding the Wirey whaler's glove.
 From the Doherty side something very good can also be said. He show ed marked improvement over the last time he met King in Music hall. He clearly bore out what his friends had said for the last two weeks-that he was training faithfully, and would l give King the fight of his life. He 1 showed better familiarity with King S tactics, and landed some pretty heavy swings. Twice he seemed to have King worried, but the latter always came back strong. Doherty seemed to have shade the advantage so far as the leading went, and for this the go can be fairly declared draw.
 The first preliminary was between Williams of Bridgeport and Murphy O New Haven, both of whom carry z "Kid" before their names. This als1 was a good, clean, fast draw of eigh rounds
 The second preliminary had to bt stopped in the third round owing to tn, ! foul tactics of Tommy Maher of thi! city. He wrestled young Lawson O Hartford all over the ring and twice threw him heavily te the floor. H. was cautioned without avail by W. L Crowley of Hartford, who showed goot judgment in stopping the bout. Mahei spoiled what night have been another pretty exhibition of his pig -headedness
 The bouts were under the auspices o the Edgewood club and aside from con fusion over seatf the whole affair wag well conducted.

retire to distance of at least 300 feet,
 It was during almosr the fiercest time of the fire that thrilling incident connected with it occurred-one which nearly cost the life of Jeremiah Keane, bookkeeper for Kearne and Keane. Lo- cated in this store was a large steel vault. From this Keane had already saved a number of books and papers, and had gone back for more. The fire was burning fiercely at the time, and someone else leaving the store and not knowing that Keane was in side the vault, slammed the door shut, and pushed against it small stove. Keane did not at first realize his predicament, but when he did began, to struggle with might and main against the door, and finally forced it just enough to allow him to squeeze through. The place, however, was then filled with dense smoke, and overcome by this Keane fell at the door of the vault, from whose re- cesses he had just fought his way He lay there for a short time, and until some firemen who had gone into the store trample1 on him, dieoyered him, and bore him outside to safety.
