New York, July 6.-Panic
ragged IS feet under ground to-
day when fire broke out on an
uptown Lexington Avenue sub
way express near 59th street.
Deadly gas filed the ten cars
when guards attacked the small
blaze with fire extingushers and
about $50 men, women and chill
dren were affected by the fumes
before they crawled through the
darkened tube to outlets and
climbed or were lifted to the
street, two levels above the ex-
press tracks. n...
Three persons were SO badly
attacked by the gas that fear is
felt for their lives. About fifty
were sent to hospitals and the
others received medical atten-
tion. The train carried about
500 passengers.
It was two hours before traf-
fic could be resumed on the sub
way which was jammed with
stalled trains for many miles.

Church FURNACE
YIELDS MUCH HEAT

An overheated furnace in the base
ment Of the First Methodist church
yesterday at 1910 caused Rev. D..
VI. Litaker, presiding elder, to cut
short his sermon and the congregation
FASTENED out in good order. A pillar
was scorched, but no damage was
done. Services were held last night as
usual. ..
In" furnace was unusually hot dur
ing the Sunday school hour and the
annex was warm to the point OF dis
comfort. The heat was cut off, how
ever, and nobody apparently thought
of any danger until the wooden pillar
began smoking. 1t did not catch on
;iro.
Mr.. L;takcr had begun preaching
:,bout ''the lower world" and he voiced
his orthodox in no uncertain terms.
He had no idea that he was getting
reinforcement from the fiery furnace
of the church, but he was, and he
stopped his discourse and the congre-
CATION filed out. The fire department
responded quickly, but there was no
damage.

Plans for the erection Of $4,000
armory and club building on Thir-
t~~.sst, III street by the headquarters COM
pany es.i,; the Hickory cavalry were
announoe:! today by Major Wade V.
Bowman, who has obtained from May
or NJ. H. 1ount All option on a lot
SO by 100 feet north Of Dr.. W. B.
Ran,say's residence Major Bowman
has been given ample time to meet the
conditions of the option.
The proposition just now IS to raise
$4,000 to pay for the lot. That ac-
conplished, members OF the headauar-
ters and cavalry will finance the build
ing of the arnlory with their drill pay,
with what assistance they may be able
to obtain from local people. The hors-
es would be kept somewhere else and
the armory, equipped with modern
features, would be open to Hickory
people generally.
This would give Hickory a first
class club house and another place for
holding meetings. The national guard
is a fixture in North Carolina, Major
Bowman has been informed by the
adjutant generals department, and it
will be his effort to enlist more fine
young men in the service.
Hickory business men have assured
