A SURPRISE PARTY.

On last Thursday night Level
Fields, the beautiful home of Mr.. w.
ii. HENS, was the scene of great mer-
riment, as number of young people
from both Lancaster and Northumber-
land assembled there about eight
o'clock, giving the family and their
friends from Baltimore a complete sur
prise. Some of the party came in wag-
ons while others preferred vehicles built
for the accommodation of two. Though
thus taken by surprise the host and
hostess received their guests most cor
daily and surrendered to the .'intru-
ders" the house and yard. The young
ladies' seemed to vie with one another
IN their rendition of solos and instru.
mental selections until II 30, when re-
freshments were served in most elegant
style, after which one of the older MEM
bers of the party, who having SEEM
ingly renewed his youth, was induced
to dance an old fashioned jig, which
created much fun and laughter among
the young people. More than once did
the party decide that it was time to
dIsband and return to their homes, but
so 10th were they to leave that it was
two O'Clock when they bid their adieus,
unanimously agreeing that it was the
most delightful event of the season
Though feeling the weight of years.
the writer whose good fortune it was
to be present, sincerely wishes that in
the near future it may be his pleasure
to attend another such surprise party
and enjoy with the young people of
Lancaster and Northumberland the
sweet music and games, which so WV
idly brought TO mind the days of his
youth. OLD LAND MARK

BLAZING CHURCH ALTAR
STARTS A BAD PANIC.

PHOENIX, Pa. Nov. 28.-The Slavish
Catholic congregation Of the Sacred
Heart was thrown into a panic yester-
day morning when the decorations on
a side altar in the church caught fire
and blazed to the ceiling. The big
congregation Immediately arose in its
pews and with a cry of terror started
for the exits.
The Rev. Joseph Hello, the pastor,
who was putting on his priestly robes
in the sacristy of the church prepara-
tory to commencing the services, heard
the cry and rushed to the main altar.
He called upon the congregation to
stop and declared the danger over.
Through the efforts of the priest and
half a dozen men Of the congregation
the panic subsidized before anyone
was injured. When the excitement was
diminised Father Hello extinguished
the fire. The fire did considerable DAM

the public at - time. The public
will soon know all the facts that We
can lay bare in the case, however.
The prosecutor had some of his men
making photographs and taking dia-
grams that would be valuable to the
investigators.
William P. O'Rourke. superintendent
of buildings, whose department will
probably figure in the investigation,
said that he would have a report to
on the disaster. He did not wish
to anticipate the official investigation
by giving any off-hand opinion as to
responsibility for the fatality. =
Were existing city ordinances
obeyed?" Mr.. O'Rourke was asked.
He replied that he believed that they
were. He pointed u that a new build

results IN building inspection would

Mr.. O'Rourks could not say offhand

a fire might be fought.
The last of the twenty-one bodies at
Mullins morgue to be identified and
claimed vas thai of Theresa Tortorelll,
rs years old, of 507 Market street. She
was identified by her father, Joseph
Tortorelli, a shoemaker at the Market
street address. The body was taken to
her ate home.
At first the identification of the body
could not be made owing to its multi
ated condition, and it was after a long
and careful examination that the father
could with n degree of certainty say
that 1t was his daughter. The woman
had on only n shoe and the father
recognized 1t by an arch support which
he had put in it last week. Mr. Tor
tore,li could not realize that his dauga-
ter was dead. What will become of
her children" he asked. The dead
woman was the mother of three chill
dren and had been separated from her
husband, whose name is Peresina, for
some time. The children were entirely
dependent upon her for support. What

GIRLS LEAP FROM
HIGH WINDOW AND
ESCAPE FLAMES
Young Women Brave Death in
Jump from Dizzy
Height.

Two young women who went through
Saturdays disaster in High street
almost unscathed owe their lives
strangely enough to the very fact that
they jumped from windows. They are
Miss Hattie Cox, 16. of 1874 James street,
and Miss Grace Mickens, of 139 James
street, and they say the reason they
survived is because they came to earth
upon their feet, instead of falling head
long, as did the victims.
"Grace and I were hard at work in
the Newark Paper Company's factory
on the second floor" said Miss Cox at
her home today. Foreman August

Girls Leap from window.

ledge and jumped just as straight as

"Grace came after me, and since we
Ieaped before the crush and weren't
flung out headlong, but had time to
look and think, we got through that
terrible experience with only a few
bruises and slightly sprained ankles,
my little brother Robert was hurt
almost as badly as l." said Miss Mick
ems, though he wasn't in the fire at
all.
HE thought I must surely have per-
ished in the ruins, n he kept running
frantically about looking for my body.
His small pet dog, made panic-strlcken
by all the excitement around about,
followed just as f~ranticaliy. and he
kept swapping at my brothers knees
until they were pretty badly bitten.
Robert was taken to st. Michaefs Hos
pital, where his wounds were dressed
