Tha memljeis uf the i.,adies' Au.xil- ' lary were greeted after they had been seated, and Mrs. Albert KuliJ, in a neat address reviewed the harmonious workings of the compahy and the auxiliary, noting the pride of both in the success and welfare of the other. 'The ladies, however, have regretted," she said, "'that whenever the company had been on parade with its impr"ssive numbers and powerful apparatus, that there has been no emblem to designate the com¬ pany and the town 11 so gallantly re¬ presents." She therefora, on behalf of the Ladles' Auxiliary; presented the company with a banner ¦ and holster.
Chief Hayden and. Wm. J. Devlna both expressed, ,on behalf of the eom¬ pany, their thanks and appreciation for the useful and be<autiful gift and assured the ladies of tha full reali¬ zation by the company of the very important work which the company is able to accomplish so successfully on¬ ly by the splendid cooperation and unselfish work of the auxiliary.
The banner is a very large one, being stoutly made, surmounted by a gilded eagle, and on the face is »orded     "Wissahickon     Fire   Co.,     of
business, with S. II. Kendig,. a mem b"r of the lirm, in charge. The as¬ signee will contintue the business, wages for labor guaranteed, until a sett'ement with the creditors is ef¬ fected. A sale of the place is in¬ evitable—i)rivate, if possible, public if necessary.

Lutheran church has succeeded in raising $500, which has been iJaid to¬ wards reducing the mortgage against the church, bringing the amount still due to $1000, which is to be paid in live yearly installments of $200, same being free of interest. The burden having been lightened has put neAv lifel into the work and the aim will be to reduce the remainder as soon as possible. The attendance iast Sunday evening was the largest for several years for a regular service and to say that our pastor. Rev. L. G. Shannon, was pleased is putting it mild, but it was worth while to see and hear the service last Sunday, the vigor and vim he put into his words and he meant every bit of It. The subject was "Sunday School." Xext Sunday evening he will illustrate his sermon with a chemical process, and he invites everybody to come. The package party and cake sale given last Saturday evening was a decided success, so much so „that everything was sold so (luickly that the next time a Larger stock will be on hand. A sauer kraut supper will be the next attraction, due notice of same will be given. More children are wanted to attend the Sunday school, which is increasing in number, but there is room for more. Pastor Shannon will begin next Sunday to arrange a Bible class for men and women and invites everybody who Is Interested to come  and  join.
Architect  Tourison   at  Work  on   Plans
While   Embers   of   Old   Building   Are
Smouldering—Excellent      Wor4c      of
Ambler  Fire  Company.
Henry P. McKean is in eon.suitaiion with A. S. Tourison, the Germantown architect, preparing plans for the erei-tioii of a "irain" Ijarn to replace itie ulie uestroyad by liro Saturday un his   large   Horsham    township   estate.
The Hames were discovered shortly after C.30 a. m. by some of the era- Iiloyas and seemed lo issue frum the mow just over the horses. The available employes at once organized an impromptu lire brigade and others rescued the 10 horses. In the cow stables were 79 head of cattle, which had" just been ^fed, and those were also driven frum their stalLs. Very little could be done to slay the pro¬ gress of the llames, and the efforts ofj the enipluyes were' dlrectad to saving the implements and harness, all of which were drawn to a safe distance Irom danger, and the apparatus in tha creamery was a'so dismantled lo save   whatever   was  movable.
In the meantime an alarm was tele¬ phoned to the Wissahickon Fire cum¬ pany, at Ambler, tind at 7.05 the alarm wa.s sounded. The chemical apiJaratus responded, making the run in remarkably quick time. On arriv¬ ing at the lire, offorts were at once dir.ecied towards saving the remaind¬ er of the cow stables, which were then ablaze. The ilames were checked before they had ,!;ain«d much headway on this building' aud the spread   thereon   subdued.
Just as soon as thero was no dan¬ ger to adjoining buildings tlie chemi¬ cal engine was taken .back tu Ain¬ bler and the Silsby fire engine hauled to the scene. 3600 feet of tire hose was run from Henry McK. IngersoU's lake and a stream was played on the smouldering ruins the rest of tha day, extinguishing the  blaze.
Several hundred tons of hay and much feed were lost in the blazo, and two large silos containing tha product of 66 acres were lost. Insurance cov¬ ers a portion of the loss, but will not replace the damage by several thous¬ and   dollars.
Mr. McKean took prompt steps to have plans prepared for another structure, which doubtless will be not only roomy, but complete in every detail.
