Discover Fire and Escape
From Flames.

An automobile belon ging to G.. NJ
Rich caught fire yesterday afternoon
and burned about $3.50 o'clock. on the
Main street road this side Of the
first turn to Montrose. The body OF
the car was destroyed, but the fire
did not seem to seriously damage the
tires and wheels. The car was a
Deering Magnetic with a specially
built body, and cost six or seven
thousand dollars.
The only occupants were Edward
Rich and Charles Owens, the Rich
chauffeur. They were driving along
the road, when they noticed some
thing was causing the car to run
less smoothly than usual, and they
investigated. Before they could get
out, the smoke and flames burst
through the floor OF the auto.
A woman who lived along the road
told them later that as they drove
past her place she could see fire
underneath the car and that she
called to them. They failed to hear
her because the curtains were down.
They had driven only short dis
lance when they noticed the trouble
! with the car and found that they
had barely time to escape from the
burning pile.
1t is believed that the car caught

pertaining to the music are talked
over in friendly way. This feature
was introduced by Mrs r. II. Boil
ster, who presides at one of the
pianos every night. Miss Emma
Frank is the other pianist whose
work has added much to the attrac-
tiveness Of the song service.
