ont Alarm Being Sounded.

Despite the fact that the First liap-
fist Church. on East BROAD street. be
tween Eleventh and Twelfth Streets.
was threatened 10y fire last night for
Il few minutes. and tho blaze would
have caused serious consequences but
for the timely work Of Johu J. Traylor.
night clerk of the Detective bureau:
Detective Sergeant Wiltshire and Sig
nal Operator Frank Gentry. Rev.
George w MrDanicrs sermon was not
interrupted and II" ono in tho church
had the slightest idea Of the impending
danger.
The blaze was discovered shortly be-
fore $50 o'clock under the steps at tho
side entrance OF the church by a man
walking past the building. Night
Clerk Traylor had just walked out upon
the rear porch on the second floor of
Police Headquarters which adjoins
the church. to listen to the singing OF
the choir. Tho man rushed into head
quarters and up the stairway TO the
second floor. meeting Traylor aud cN-
claiming that III" church was afro.
1raylor looked over the lattice work
OH the porch aud saw the flames leap
ing up the side Of tho church for fully
ten feet.
CONGREGATIONS Is NOT
NOTIFIED 0F DANGER
Both men then ran tn the side on
tranc" OF the church. Trayl"r calling
for Wiltshire and Gentry. Another
man had stopped on BROAD Street a,
that moment and suggested that an
alarm he sounded. but tho officers pro-
vented him from carrying ont his Suc-
ccstion. Traylor found that the blaze
had originated in quantity OF paints.
oil and clothing stored under the stair
way. and Immediately set to work
pulling the cans OF blazing paint away.
Within few moments he had cX-
tnGuished the blaze with tho assistance
of Wiltshir" aud Gentry. and no ono
in the church had heard tho commo-
ton. Just after the blaze had been
cNiinSuished however. prominent
member Of the church came out, say
ing that he had smelled something like
clothing burning. hut there was no
other excitement. officer Tray!or was
slightly burned on his hands in pulling
the cans Of paint from under tho stair
case, which IL constructed Of iron and
prevented the fire spreading.
The police thought that the tire had
been caused by spontaneous comhus-
ton. painters having left their oil
soaked ovcralls wrapped up and pilcd
under the steps with the cans OF paint
and oil
