If the plans of the members of the St. John's Lutheran church do not miscarry they will start work on their new $30,000 church next spring. They will take the first advantage of the good weather to start the work. The members of the congregation have already secured two fine building

lots at the corner of Seventh and South E streets and have the option on two more which they will secure within course of the next month. The option on these lots, was secured from Fred Von Pein and as the option expires on Dec. 20th, the congregation according to the statement of a prominent member last night, will buy the lots before that date. Almost enough money has been raised to buy them. The church which will be erected upon the site will be one of the most

beautiful In the city, and will seat nearly seven hundred and fifty people. Exclusively for Church Purposes. Owing to the fact that the congregation will not destroy or sell their old church property on South Fourth street, the new church will be devoted exclusively for church services, and no allowance will be made for more rooms than the large auditorium. The Sunday school will be held each Sunday in the old church. The younger members of the church have long wanted the officers of the

AUTO PLUNGES III FENCE; MANY KURT Big Haynes Apperson Machine Runs Wild in Races on Philadelphia Course.

MAY BE TWO FATALITIES

THE WINNING AUTO WAS GOINU AT RATE OF FIFTY MILES AN HOUR WHEN THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED.

Publishers' " Press. J Philadelphia, Nov. 1M. Eight men were injured; two ierhaps fatally when a big Apperson car running in the fifty mile open race at Point Ilreeze this afternoon crashed through the railing on the home stretch, plunged into a score of automobilists and mowed down a crowd of spectators. Two of the victims were Phil Kirk, the driver, and Eddie Parrett, the machinist. The latter is seriously injured and may die. Oau of the other vicitms may also succumb to his injuries. The accident created great excitement and for some time it was impossible to ascertain the full extent of the mishaps. Patrols and ambulances were quickly summoned and several doctors present rendered aid to the injured. Of those injured the following wero taken to the Methodist Hospital: Frank E. Hugo, double fracture of right leg, condition serious. James Smith, a boilermaker at tho Philadelphia driving park, contusions of right shoulder. David Budd, contusion of legs. J. F. Halman, foot badly mangled, taaken to St. Agnes hospital. Three victims whose names have not been ascertained are at the Philadelphia hospital. They are said to be seriously hurt. Prior to the accident the Apperson car had won two races and in the fifty' mile race was well iu the lead, going at the rate of fifty miles nn hour. The sixth -lap was covered when suddenlj- the front wheels skidded and the machine, getting beyond control of the driver, swerved to tho right, leeped over a ditch, plunged through a vailing, and fairly hurled itself upon a group of automobiles crowded wlfh spectators. Kirk and his machinist were hurled Into the air and the machinist' was unconscious when picked ip. Kirk, however, was only slightly injured. Despite the accident the race was continued. '

LANTERN STARTS A FIRE

STREET CAR CUTS HOSE

Motorman so Anxious to Keep on Fast Schedule Time Made by CityCars Ignores Rights of Department Protecting Property.

As IT. A. Ferris was about bis dut ies, connected with feeding two horses which were quartered in the barn in the rear of 217 Main street, he fell from the hay mow with a lighted lantern in his hands, and a brisk' fire was soon started in the barn. The lire department responded to the call sent

in from that place, and had the flames

well tinder control when a city street

car ran over a joi.nt or hose, severing water connections and greatly handicapping the firemen in their work.

The car was the first ones due inta

the city yesterday morning from tho car barns in West Richmond, and it is supposed that the moterman want

ed to make the top of the Main street hill and he did not stop when ho

reached the pipe, and had it not been for the strenuous objections of pine-

man Phil Riley, the motorman would

have run his car over another section rather than stop. The matter was turned over to City Attorney Study and he will go about collecting the damages done to the hose which Is estimated at about 43. The two horses in the barn were rescued from the flames. The total damage done amounted to about $150.

OBEYED BUT PARTIALLY

Street Car Company Did Not Lowef Its Track Full Leivjth of North Fifth Street.

Notwithstanding the fact that tli Board of Public Works ordered the Richmond street car company to lower its tracks on Fifth street from North D to Main street the street car company completed the work to North. A street several weeks ago and stopped it at that poinL The tracks between Main and North A streets, are higher and more troublesome than at any point on Fiftb street and It is probable hat the Board of Works will demand them lowered within the next week.
