YESTERDAY MORNING'S FIRE. Chief Ilickev IScllevcs Tlmt Trumps Aro ICcspoissiblo (or It. It Is the opinion of Chief HIckey, of tho fire department, that the lire early yesteiday morning, nt the coke cleaner of the Lackawanna Iron und Steel com pany, was caused by tramps. There was no lire in the building and so fat as is known no menus by which the fire could have started. It Is known that tramps were very partial to tho place, which lends plausablllty to the theory that tramps are responsible for the blaze. The loss amounted to about $1,000. Some difficulty wns experienced In lighting the lire, on account of the (lllllculty tho llremeii experienced In getting their apparatus near It and fioni nn Insufficient pressure of water. The hydrants are supplied from a three-Inch main, the chief says, and In the event of a fire In any of the big shops near tho coke cleaner It would be difficult to oppose the progress of the Humes. Yesterday morning's firo was the flfst ono In the central city since the now system of sending out alarms went Into effect. Although tho alarm was by l limine tho court hout-o bell only, twenty-four firemen wero quickly on tho fecene. MEETS SATURDAY TO ORGANIZE. Hoard of 1'nik Commissioners Called Together by the .llnyor.

Despite tho Inclement weather both meetings were largely attended. At the Kim Park church the meet ing was held In the lower lecture room. Tho npartmolit was most beautifully decorated with colored hunting and lings In which the red, white and blue predominated though the Hrltlsh "union Jack" and the coat of arms of Cnnnd.a wero conspicuously display ed in honor of the Host ot the great occasion. On the front of the pulpit nnd under a small Ameilcan flag which pattly hid the bible, one Hrltlsh ling had been placed nnd nestling lu the folds of two mammoth Old Glories was tho coat of arms. The decorations were pome of tho best ever shown at the church. The lecture room was well filled with nn audience composed In the main of young people. Attorney M. W. Curry presided.

Chairman Curry announced that owing to a slight cold, Arthur Van Gorder would be unable to give the tenor solo announced in the pro gramme. Miss Nellie Seward', another delegate, then read her Impressions of Toronto. She praised it as a good and great municipality. Miss Jennie Poyer afterward spoke on "The Spiritual Side of the Convention," extolling It ns an impressive school for the advance of Christian feeling. Mr. Pitts, of the orchestia, played a violin selection. The Inst paper read wns by Miss Lizzlo ltaub on "Tho Heneflts of the Conven tion," which she said were unquestion ably great. Itev. C. M. Glflln, pastor of the church, who attended tho convention, closed the convention with a few happy remarks. Chairman Curry. In the In troduction, said, "who will tell some stories." This created merriment, which was well accepted by tho popu lar pastor. He spoke humorously of the convention nt first and followed with somo serious reflections. The convention, he maintained, was the greatest of Its kind ever held on the face of the earth. There were 30,000 persons present nnd these wero all Mt thodlsts. It was a purely denomi national affair and testified to the grandeur of Methodism. A social time followed tho meeting. At the business session, which pre ceded tho meeting, tho resignation of Ml-s Jennie Hazlett as chairman of the Mercy nnd Help department was re ceived and Miss Jennie Andrews was elected In her place. Fifteen new mem bers were added to the society, CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR RALLY.

Another and an altogether new sug gestion in tho way ot a placo for a public market was made to Street Commissioner Dunning yesterday by WJlcox & Castles, who conduct a livery stable In part of tho old stove works on West Lackawanna nveuue. There Is a space of about, fifteen feet be twoen tho sldowalk nnd tho building, and on this Wilcox & Castles agree to allow tho hucksters to put their wagons. They will also glvo them room In their stable for tho horses up- on payment If a fee of twenty-five cents for both privileges. There Is Just about room enouch for a wagon to stnnd lengthwise between tho building nnd the Bldovvnlk and horses and wngon tonguo would have to be re moved ns soon as tho wngon wns placed In position. Another suggestion of tho firm was to allow tho wagons to stand In Dock ush plnce, nnd still a third, which seemed to stt'lko the street commis sioner more favorably thnn any of the others, was to utilize the interior of the building for the wagons. Tho building Is about seventy feet deep nnd Is wide enough for ,tvvo rows ot wagons with a passageway between. As MIfllln avenue will probably have to be abandoned, ns a market place on nccount of tho protests of property owners, Street Commissioner Dunning will tomorrow morning confer with tho hucksters nnd got their views about the West Lackawanna avenue site.
