EnqIand's Greatest Mine Fire

The most serious colliery fire ever known in Britain was undoubtedly that which broke out at the Tawd val. ley mine. near Preston. in 1872. Thou. sands of pounds were spent in trying tC get the flames under control. but they overeame everything and consumed some millions of tons of coal. A wall ten feet in thickness was built round the affected parts. but the heat cracked the masonry and brought it down as fast as it was rebuilt However. in 1897 the river Tawd overhowed it's banks and went pouring down into the mine. No fire could withstand such an immense volume of water hurled upon it. and. although the flames extended for J0O yards. they were quenched after having ragged for quarter of a century Tit-Bits.

 Work on the enlargement of the plant of the Copper Queen smelteE is progressing well. It is not in the "showy' stage but might rather be termed in the concrete.

MAY MOVE CHURCH
TO THE WEST END
GRACE STREET PREsaYTERIANs
LIKELY TO BUILD ON
COLLEGE SITE.

Although the officers Of the church
of $4,000 for Grace street Presby-
terrain church and site at the north
east corner OF Grace and Fourth
streets, there Is talk that some of
the members are rather disposed to
sell out and move to the West End.
This talk is to the effect that the
church might buy lot on the east side
OF the Richmond College property
fronting on Grace street and thus the
edifce could still be known as Grace
Street church
Such a lot, 1t il understood, could
be had at the rata Of $3.50 = front foot
in anticipation OF the colleges removal
to Northampton within the next year
or two, aud the expenditure OF $4,000
for 100 feet would hardly be regarded
a. q reckless investment.
In that event, the First Church which
has been talking Of merging with Grace
Street might remain at Grace and
Madison. leaving the Second Church
on North Fifth near Main to look after
the work farther down town. As 1t 10,
these three churches are now located
with a radius OF q few blocks OF each
other
II is an undissuissd fact that the
Kaufman Company at Fourth and
Broad streets is DESTROYS of acquiring
the GrncA strees church property and
realty agents would not be surprised
II an offer in excess Of $4,000 is made
for the church sooner or later.

DOLLARS DAMAGE.

NEW YORK, May s.--A succession
OF fires beginning at o'clock this
morning and lasting until after 10,
caused a property loss in Manhatta n
Of nearly half q million and probably
two lives. William Brennan, four.

crisp In the apartment Of his parents
at 1873 Greenwich street, and his five-
year-old sister, Irene, saved at the
risk Of his life by Fireman Robert
Boyle, of Truck 10. but so badly burn
ed she is expected to die.
The parents OF the children left
them alone in the house Boyle
crawled along the door and got Irene
out. He went back for William, but
was cut off, and had to jump to
the roof OF an adjoining structure
to save his own life.
One thousand inmates of the Co.
loniai hotel and st. Nicholas apart
ment house were driven into the
street In their night clothing when
the Metropolitan Tobacco Company's
warehouse and the Guardian Storage
Company's plant at s21 West 126th

quarter of a million dollars. Another
tire was I'm big loft building at s
