FOX IN A KITCHEN.
Gave Hunters and Hounds Lively
Chase In an English Town.

Gave Hunters and Hounds Lively
Chase in an English Town.
Some exciting scenes were witnessed
at Stow recently at the meet OF the
Heythrop hounds, according to the Lon
don Globe.
A fox, on being discovered near Alb
botswood, proceeded to the town, where
1t darted through the open door Of
photographer studio. Being driven
out into the garden. the animal sprang
upon the roof OF some low buildings,
thence climbed tie roof OF house and,
sliding down the opposite slope, leaped
into Park street.
The fugitive then entered house at
the front door, but meeting little girl
half way up the stairs turned tall and
made his way to the kitchen, where
culinary operations were in progress.
The fox mounted the table and scat
tered the crockery with which 1t was
covered, many articles being smashed
as they fell with clatter on the floor.
Then, espying an open door, the animal
made quick exit into a garden. Hounds
meanwhile had tracked the fox to the
studio, and many went right through
the house and picked up the trail that
led eventually to the garden in which
the fugitive was hiding.
The animal did not give in without
brave struggle for existence, leading
hounds chase over successive garden
walls before he gave up his brush.

DISCOVERED IN TIME.
Central M. E. Church Has Close
Call by Fire.

Accidental discovery of a fire in
the Central NJ f. church late Satur
day night undoubtedly saved the
handsome stone edifice from serious
damage. Attendants at service dur
ing the evening noted perceptible
odor of burning pine throughout the
building. No smoke could be seen
but so noticeable did the odor become
by the time the service was concluded
that search was made for the cause
of the smell. A number of persons
engaged in the hunt, but nothing
could be found in any part of the
building, and many gave up, thinking
the smoke had come from outside
the building.
The furnace of the church had been
fired almost to it's capacity during
the afternoon and evening, as the
weather was unusually cold and the
fire was increased during the hour of
service. A party of three or four peo-
pie remained in the church and they
noted that the presence of smoke was
booming very apparent. There must
be fire in the basement and the
search was renewed, but again with.
out result. One young man assist
ing in the hunt leaned against the
wooden casing of the fan or ventilat
ing apparatus in the basement and to
his surprise the woodwork was almost
clustering hot. He summoned help
and an opening into the boxing was
made. Here was the fire, shoulder
ing and struggling for air Within a
few minutes the entire casing would
have been in flames and from its posi-.
ton in the basement the fire would
not have been discovered until it had
burned through into the audience
rooms above and much damage must
have been caused.
The boys pulled down a portion OF
the casing and water with which to
stop further progress of the flames
being at hand and the fire was soon
a thing of the past. No alarm was
turned in to the fire department.
The origin of the fire is mystery.
1t may have been caused by the ex.
cessive heat of the furnace pipes, but
how it could get to the enclosed cas-
ing of the ventilator is ineXplicable.
