HOME MISSION WEEK
TO BE OBSERVED.

1t is proposed that the week of No
vember 18th to oath, be observed as
"Home Mission week in all the evan
gelical churches of this nation.
1t is nation-w wide campaign in the
interest of the Kingdom of God IN
America. 1t had its origin in an earn
est desire to inform the people in
regards to great social and moral
problems. 1t has been demonstrated
by some of our wisest statesmen that
the nations greatest problems are
fundamentally moral questions, and
therefore whatever promotes civic
Righteousness and goodness among
a people, goes far in solving all prob
lens whether economic OF morals.
Home Missions as an agency spends
annually millions of dollars for the
Development of great moral ideals
and has a noble band of workers to
apply them to human life and need.
When the Home Missions council,
representing twenty-seven denomlna'
tional boards and nine womens
boards, began this movement about
one year ago they committed them
selves TO a tremendous work. Rev
Charles Stelzle was made executive
secretary and he has been in cores
rondence with $500 chairmen scatter
ed all over the United States, send
ing literature and giving general di-
rections. These special articles arc
full of stirring facts on present socla
and religious problems of America
They treat of immigrants, American
Indians, Africans and Asiatlcs. They
also discuss social and moral prob
lens in rural region and cities. The pas
tors of the various churches will pre-
sent Home Missions in an lntelllgen
and inspiring manner. 1t is well tna
our CITY vii lobserve Home Mission
Week"
The local chairman, Rev. DR.. JONI
Lee Allison, has planned that the 10
cal pastors of all the evanselica
churches preach on the moral and re
ligious needs and per.ils Of our countr.

A SAD "REMINISCENCES.
Fifty-Seventh Anniversary OF Fire III
Which Seven Alexandrians
Persisted. :.

On the night of the 18th of Novem-
Der 1855, a fire occurred in this city
during the progress Of which seven
of our good citizens were hurled from
life unto death by the falling of a
wall The fire occurred in what was
known as James P Smiths china
store, though the business at that
time was being conducted By Mossrs.
Turner & Dowell.
The store stood on the north side
of King street, between Fairfax ana
Lee streets-the premises now occu-
pied by Henry Baaders' Sons. Is was
about midnight and two of the town
watchmen, Bartholomew Delphcy and
John N. Thompson were turning into
Kin gstreet from Lee when they in
hailed the smell of burning straw. anG
later discovered the smoke issuing
from the loft of the china store. They
sounded the alarm and soon had the
old town hand engines at work
The fremen worked faithfully for
several hours and succeeded in getting
the fire under control, and were pass
ing in and out of the building, which
was steaming and smoking when,
without the slightest premonition the
west wall tumbled down and buried
eight men in the debriS-MeSsrs. Geo.
Plain, Robert Taylor, J.Carson Greene,
John Roach, David Appich, William
Evans, James Keene and John Do
gan, the last named colored man.
The first floor was carried away by
the heavy weight, and bricks. mortar
splinters and the human unfortunate
beings were hurled in a mass into the
cellar, which having previously been
half full of water, sent up clouds OF
stea mand smoke. Six of the ili-fated
men were killed outright and one
died after having been taken to his
home. The only one out of the eight
who escaped with his life was Dogan,
the colored man, though he was a
cripple from the accident to tha day
of his death.
The sad event cast sable gloom
over the entire city, and every CT
fort, public and private, was made to
assist the sorrowing ones who had
been rendered widows and father!esS
by the terrible accident.
The catastrophe occurred early or
a Saturday morning, and on the fol
lowing Sunday afternoon the bodies
| Of five Of the victims headed the !arg-
est funeral procession ever seen II
| Alexandria wound its way to the
cemetery. The entire city turned
out and joined the procession.
Bells were tol!ed. minute guns wert
fired and other evidences of sorrow
shown.
Subsequently 2 handsome n,onu
ment was erectc dto their memory il
Ivy Hill Cemetery. upon which tht
names of the saIlent men who diet
in the discharge of their duty wer
inscribed.

1907, and that she was appointed a
committee of her husbands estate
giving bond of $4,000. The estate
of her husband consisted of about
$4,000 cash in bank,a 3OO-acre farm
in ALTERNATE county, Virginia, with
summer residence, and a yearly
income averaging $4,000 during the
lifetime of her husband from the trus-
tees undsr the will of his father,
Charles Moran.
Mrs. Moran claims her husband left
will appointing her executrix OF
his estate, the sole heirs consisting OF
herself and her daughters. 1t was
mutually agreed October 81, 1904, be-
tween the plaintiff and her two
daughters, according to Mr.. Moran
that on the death of plaintiffs hus-
band his wife would claim one-thlrd
of his estate and turn over the resi-
due of the property in equal shares
to her two daughters. In consldera-
ton of this her daughters agreed to
give their mother one-third of their
income derived from their portion Of
the estate of their grandfather, Char
les Moran, from the time they came IN
it's possession until the death of their
mother.
It is averred by Mrs. Moran, that at
the death of her husband her dauEh-
tiers received from the trustees OF The
estate, property valued at S3Oo,0oO,
Welding a revenue of about $4,000
year. She says she has requested Ter
daughters to carry out their agree
ment of October 81, 1904, and while
Mrs. Hudgins has complied, Mrs. Nc
Conihe has refused.
Justice Barnard issued a rule on
the defendants to show cause Move n
Der % why trustees should not be ;.p-
pointed to take possession of the real
estate in dispute and manage sane
during lifetime of the plaintiff. and
why a receiver should not be ap-
pointed.
Mrs. Moran is connected with tAe
most prominent families in Virginia.
She is directly descended from Colo lei
Richard Scott Blackburn, mcm:'er
of General Washington's staff. l.er
father was Dr.. Richard S. Blackburn,
of Clarke county, Virginia. On Ter
