Those symptoms of weakness that I

and am nblo to do my work."
From Mrs. Mollik E. llEnitEi,, Pow

"For threeyears I suffered with such a
weakness of the back, I could not
perforin my household duties. I also

That the locent fair of St. John's
chuich congregation was an unquali
fied success and without a precedent
on this side, nnd perhaps In tho city is
certain when It Is considered that over
$11,000 ns a net result was realized.
The fair lasted for live weeks, and
enme to a close Saturday night, F
I. The following morning Rev, E. J.
Mclley, the untiring pastor of St. John's
congregation, addressed his parishion
ers at the three masses on that day,
upon the event Just concluded. Father
Molloy was greatly pleased, and ex
tended his congratulations to his flock.
He told them that he could not then
give even a rough, estimate of the
amount leullzed, but promised that
yesterday ho would be able to glvo tho
figures.
The feellns of unbounded pleasure
was mutual with lector and congrega
tion when Father Molley Infouned his
congregation yesterday of the resuli
of tho fair.
The gross amount was $11976 27, and
tlie expenditures will amount to about
$700. The closely estimated amounts
taken at the soveial booths Is as follows-
Ladles' uuxlllaiy to Division 17,
Ancient Order of Hibernians, $2,100:
Blessed Virgin Sodality, $2,000: St.
Rene's Ladles' Total Abstinence and
Benevolent society, $l,7!s. Ladles'

the fund, and Misses Julia Dnnnelly
and Tlllle Magee, competitors for a
diamond ring, turned In over $1,C00
Fiom the souices noted over $i:!,000
we ie received. Minor contests for dolls
and tho hundieds of ai tides chanced
off foi in tho remainder of the total
amount realized
Father Melley again assuied his par
ishioners that the erection ot their
pioposed and much needed new church
edifice will be commenced as soon as
plans for tho building are made and the
weather permits of cccivatlon. The
new church of St John's will be built
on the spacious piece of ground nt
PlttKlon avenue and Fig stieet. and
extending along the avenue with a
frontage of two hundred feet. Nothing
definite with lefmence to tho cost and
style of building to be elected can hi
given at piesent.
AFTER A MISCREA-NT.
The alaini or flio sounded ut 1
o'clock esterday afternoon, was
caused by the Indiscreet nctlon of
some unknown peison. Smoke was
seen Issuing from tho apartments of
Isaac Goitsman, who occupied a por
tion of the dwelling at 417 South
Washington avenue and the alarm
was sent In. When the companies le
sponded after a hard pull, no one
knew whoie the (He was.
Goitsman came out and stated that
a lamp had exploded In his kitchen
but that there was not the slightest
need of calling the firemen to assist In
putting out the blaze His wife had
placed a lighted lamp in the refrigera
tor for tho purpose of thawing some
frozen meat. The lamp fell over, and
exploded, but the flames were quickly
extinguished, causing no damage.
As tho companies weio about to 10
turn to quarters a second alarm was
cent In, which brought the Hook and
Ladder truck and the contial city
companies to the scene. The auival
of the latter companies evoked mote
confusion and comment. Chief Hick
cy offoicd a good reward for tho ap
piehenslon of tho person who gave the
second alarm. Tho central city com
panies had considerable dlfllculty In
leturnlng up tlie steep hill near thu
D., Iv. & W. shops. Permanent man
Knell.ir, ot the Ceiuuiy company,
hitched to the Hook and Lidder tiuck,
and and the latter to the Nay Aug
chemical wagon to help them up. The
lun to the box on first tup was so
heav for the team of the Neptune
steamoi, that the nnimaVi weie bleed
ing piofusely from their nostrils when
they leached It.
CASH STORE FIRE.

oil tank In the basement to thoetote
loom. Tho floor Is well saturated
by tho diopipng of oil when
cans aie being filled. Fox got his
plumber's stove too near the floor,
and the oil was Ignited. He shouted
for assistance nnd West Bleseeker
manuger of tho meat department,
came to his aid, while Mr. Megargel
oent In the alaim from box SI.
Tho flrmes gained much headway
beforo the firemen came.
A stream fiom tho Phoenix chem
ical nppaiatus did effective woik, and
tho flames were extinguished Tho
damagu to tho building and stock was
comparatively small, and Is covered
by Insuianco. Mr. Fox was badly
burned about tho face and hands. Ills
woundd weio dressed by a nearby
phjslclan. Fortunately tho assistance
of the hose companies was not needed
en" they would have been handicap
ped. Every flio plug In the vicinity
was tound to bo frozen.
