were instructed to sign the contract
with the American LaFrance COM
pany for its building.
Alderman Mowery thought it would
be a fine plan for the town to join the
League Of American Municipalities at

town send a delegation of three to the
convention of the league to be held in
Montreal in August and that tile town
pay the actual expenses of the dele

penses, asked Alderman Conkling z
{. Well, nothing to drink retorted
Alderman Mowery. His motion was
lost.
The contract made by the shade

serymen for spraying the trees in the

McALL AUXILIARY MEETING

Three Morristown Delegates Attend
session at Plainfieid.
The twenty-sixth annual meeting Of
the American McAll association was
held in Plainfeld, May 5th and 9th.
The Morristown McAll Auxiliary sent
three delegates Mrs. F. B. Dwight,
president; Miss Kate Stevenson, treas
urer, and Mrs. L. o Stiles, secretary,
the three making the trip in Mrs.
Dwight's limousine.
The exercises at the convention
were of unusual interest and all re-
ports Indicated progress. The treas
urer reported total receipts SAG, 1859,
being $758.60 more than last year.
There are now sixty-four auxiliaries.
Our own auxiliary's work in Nantes
has had new life infused into it by our
evangelist, M. Chastand, and Miss
Florence st. j.. Baldwin, our former
president, was asked by the associa-
tion to present the special need OF
5000 to complete payment for new
mission hall in Nantes. which she did
with such convincing eloquence that
trifie over that amount was pledged
within ten minutes.
The speaker at the last session on
Thursday was the Rev. Chas. Merle
d. Aubigne, who had just arrived
from France. He is thoroughly fam
iliar with the conditions and needs Of
his people, and spoke of the great
changes in moral conditions within
the past few years. The masses live
entirely outside of religious influences
and are taught to hate and distrust
the church. The result is widespread
infidelity. Free thinking societies
abound, and their literature sown
broadcast, exhorts the people to dis
card all religious connections. One
writer, especially blasphemous. is cir
culating book entitled ''The Crimes
of God." We have no conception of
the power of this infdel propaganda.
Immoral literature has always been
an evil in France, poisoning the mind
and morals of all classes, and this is
an added peril which christians must
fight.
The deadly absinthe is another peril
that is steadily undermining the moral
and physical strength of the French
people. In general there is saloon
for every twenty males, and the Gov
ernment is aroused to the gravity OF
the situation and has appropriated a
considerable sum toward temper
ance movement. n.
Mr.. d'Aubigne declared that the
McAll is the very vanguard Of all mis-
sion work in France and is very
great incentive in France to do more
faithful work.
About one hundred and fifty dele
gates were present at the convention.
Mrs. Dwight was reelected a vice
president Of the association.

VICTOR FUEL COMPANY USING
EVERY EFFORT TO ExTsRt
GUisH FlAMES.
MINERS FEAR DANGER
MANAGER HOPES TO STOP FIRE
AND BEGIN WORK AGAIN
VERY SOON.

Denver.-A Trinidad special to the
News Sunday night says: The fire in
the Hastings mine of the Victor Fuel
Company is still raging unchecked.
Several small explosions occurred dur
ing the day and 1t is now feared that
the blaze has spread to remote drifts
in the big mine. At intervals during
the day miners were carried to the
surface in an unconscious condition,
having been overcome by smoke and
gases.
The company surgeons were kept
busy caring for the exhausted men,
who had gone down to try and locate
the blaze. 1t is now admitted by COM
pany officials that the situation is ex-
tremely serious. Nearly all OF the
fire and pit bosses have quit their po-
sitions rather than enter the mine.
The blaze is believed to be located
nearly mile from the entrance. and
there is no means of getting behind
the fire until a crosscut mas been driv-
en- across the burning drift. This will
enable the miners to bulkhead the en-
try from the rear. after which 1t is
believed that the fire can be smoth-
mine. Much difficulty is being expert
encei in getting the men to enter the
mine.
Frequently small explosion spreads
terror among the foreign miners, who
realize that terrific blast may oc-
cur at any moment Yesterday num-
ber of miners were brought to Has
tings from Bowen. They entered the
mine. but refused to go back after the
first shift.
Upon Frank McDermott, the super
intendent of the mine, the hopes of
the company are now resting. McDer-
mott. who was badly burned by the ex-
plosion that started the nre, alone
knows the exact location of the blaze
and is relied upon to lead the men to
the sc at Of the conflagration. Although
badly injured, he was able today to di-
rect the work OF starting the crosscut,
which 1t is hoped will intersect the
burning drift behind the blaze and en-
able measures to be taken to keep the
fire from spreading farther into tbssG
workings. ~ -
AS soon as this work is keted
the drift will be bulkhs I'D
sealed and the dangerocB work OF
working the fire back will be started.
McDermott tomorrow expects to lead a
shift of twenty volunteers in the realI
attack on the blaze. Two shifts VIII
be kept at the entrance of the mipe,
ready for immediate duty in relief
work.
At the offices Of the Victor Fuel
Company at Hastings tonight it was
maintained that the fire is now under
control and that the resumption of op-
erations is but matter of a few
hours. General Manager w. H. MUIR
ray Of Denver is on the ground and
