BURNED TO THE GROUND.
Or, Tahnage’s Tabernacle at Ilrooklyo
In A»lie*.
Fire seems to bo the Nemesis of
Itev. T. DoWitt Talmage and the
members of his congregation. Their
beautiful new tabernacle at the corner
of Clinton and Greene avenues, Brook¬
lyn, was destroyed by lire Sunday af¬
ternoon. Flames broke out in the
church edilice just after those who at¬
tended the morning service had left
the building. Not only was the church
destroyed, but the near- by hotel and
a number of buildings wore also great¬
ly damaged. Had the tire broken out
otie hour earlier, while the building
was filled with worshipers, it is al¬
most certain that a dreadful panic and
loss of life would have resulted.
This is the third time that the Tal-
mage tabernacle has been destroyed
by a lire. By a singular coincidence
each lire occurred on a Sunday.
Everything in the tabernacle was
destroyed with the building. Per¬
haps the loss which will grieve Dr.
Talmage most is that of the memorable
stones which he had brought from the
east, and which were set iu the wall
kt the right of the organ, encased in
istero-rehef work. They were four
in number. The top block was from
Mount Calvary, and bore the word
•‘Sacrifice.” The stone below from
(Mount ••The Law.” Sinai, The bearing bottom on is it
stone
from Mars Hill and bears the inscrip¬
tion, “Gospel,” The front stone was
unmarked.
A more unique collection of stones
was never gatheied in one place.
The lire was discovered shortly after
12 o’clock, just after the congregation
had been dismissed from the morning
service. Dr. Talmage was in tho
church shaking hands with a number
of people when flames burst from the
oesritn.
Ex Supervisor Reed, who was in the
Summ\rii«ld Methodist Episcopal
church, directly opposite from the tab¬
ernacle, ivul also seen tho smoke com¬
ing from !he tabernacle window and
had sent in an alarm of fire By the
time the firemen arrived, the flames
were bursting from all the church
windows. The extra alarms, and
dually a special call were sent in,
bringing all of the engines in Brook¬
lyn and Williamsburg to the fire. The
flames spread with lightning-like
rapidity and the sparks flow in all di¬
factions. Tho greatest excitemout
prevailed. of the church
The interior was a
seething, roaring mass o£ flames in¬
side of thirty minutes after the fire
was discovered, and by 1 o’clock the
roof and the handsome steeple had
fallen in.
The fire spread to the adjoining
dwellings and several more were de¬
stroyed, including the Regent, a fam¬
ily hotel, which had about eighty-five
guests. No lives lost.
aiTATK OF TENNESSEE LOSSES
Tho Supreme C'nu’t Decides That It Can
Not Tux tlio Mobile atitf Ohio,
The Tennessee law, which the effi
tials of of that stale contend author¬
izes them to tax the property of the
Mobile and Ohio railroad company
for the years 1885 to 1889, inclusive,
was declared by ihc supreme court of
the United States Monday, in an
opinion read by Justice Jackson, to be
•invalid as far as that company is con¬
cerned.
The company was chartered by the
state of Tennessee in 1848, with a
provision exempting its capital stock
fiom taxation, and its property for a
period of twenty- five years from its
completion, and that, no tax should be
levied which would reduce the divi¬
dend oelow eight per cent per annum.
The supreme court decided that the
taxes for 1835 and 1886 could not be
collected because they were within the
period of 25 years subsequent to the
completion of (he road, but that for
subsequent years the taxes were prop¬
erly levied und should be collected,
Pecs liar Cane of Lore.
At Findley, Pa., three school boys
about 15 years of age, becoming des¬
perately enamored of three girl school
mates, were forbidden by the parents
of the latter to call on them, and the
girls cautioned not to meet the boys
clandestinely. Whereupon the love¬
sick youths, confiding to each otner
their mutual woes, resolved to end
their agonies and pierce the hearts of
the cruel parents by committing sui¬
cide. After fixing an hour at which
each was to perform his part in the
contemplated tragedy, the infatuated
youths separated and proceeded to
provide themselves with the means of
self destruction. One of them, Paul
Ewing, a son of Dr. M. J. Ewing, at
the designated hour took 40 grains of
morphine, which soon put him beyond
“the pangs of despised love.” The two
other boys broke down before the
dual act and still live, perhaps to love
igain.
