CHURCH FREE FROM DEBT
Pastor and Congregation of St. An
drew's Celebrated Notable Event
on Sunday Morning.

Sunday, October 9Th, will long be
remembered by the faithful members
and friends of st. Andrews church
and their beloved pastor, Rev. A. d.
Mcclure, as on that date Sunday last
the entire Indebtedness on the church
amounting to $1,583 was entirely wiped
out with several dollars to spare.
Twenty years ago this church owed
about $500 and when the present
pastor, Rev A. D. Mcclure was call
ed to the church some sixteen years
ago, this indebteness was still on the
congregation and the interest owing.
Since that time the interest has not
only been paid, the debt gradually de-
creased until there was only the small
amount of 81 ,583 due
During these sixteen years, in addi-
tion to paying off the indebtedness
and interest the congregation through
the untiring energy of the pastor have
purchased a fine organ for the church
and also a lot for a manse.

RAN INTO TELEPHONE POLE
HOse Wagon No. z Horses in Ter
rifle Collision
One Animal So Badly Injured That
He Had to BE killed-Foreman
Canady Had His Knee Cap Broken
Accident Occurred at Corner OF
Fourth and Princess Streets.

4. serious accident occurred yesterday
afternoon at the corner of Fourth and
Princess streets, when the big gray
horses pulling hose wagon No. Z, re-
spending to the general alarm sent IL
from box IS, ran headlOng and With
terrific speed into a mammoth tele-
phone pole, standing on the northwest
corner, the resulting shock having
broken the wagon tongue into several
pieces, thrown both horses to the pave
ment with great violence, and tossed
all the firemen off the wagon, two OF
them having received quite painful
bruises.
AS a result of the catastrophe one
of the handsome grays, john con-
sidered one Of the finest horses in
the department, had to be shot and
killed, the animal having sustained 9
painful and terrible injury. The other
horse was also badly injured but it
will be impossible to tell until today
whether the injuries are permanent.
Foreman w. A. Canady, of the COM
pany. was thrown with considerable
force to the ground and he had his
right knee cap broken. He was taken
at once to the James Walker Memorial
hospital and it was stated last night
that his injuries are painful but not
serious and that he will probably en-
tireIy recover from the effects of the
fall although he may have a stiff!
Joint The other man injured was Mr..
Fritz Zellers, one of the fremen, he
having received a painful bruise on the
head He was given prompt attention
and sent to his home
1t is not possible to state exactly
what the cause of the accident was
but it is thought that the horses at
tempted TO turn into Princess street
and that when Driver Sellers tried &c
pul them back to Fourth, the team
headed directly into the pole. When
the collision occurred the corner of the
wagon struck one of the horses and
tore a great cash in his hip and this
caused his being killed.
A rigid investigation into the cause
Of the accident has been ordered by
Mayor Springer and it will be con
vened at the earliest opportunity by
Chairman French of the fire committee
of the board of aldermen.
