THE FIRST BAPTIST
Church Suiting of Chattrnooea
was burned yesterday
FINEST IN THE SOUTH
A howling snow storm and froz

men Loss SIOO,OOO
Insurance 20)000
Chattanooga, Tenn., Dec. 31. —
Shortly after the benediction was
pronounced at the morning cer
vices of the First Baptist church
yestc rday flames burst with a roar
through the floor of the auditori
um and the whole interior w ae
church was soon ablaze.
A blinding snowstorm was thg
ing at the time and the fire depart
ment found it impossible to make
any speed over the slippery street.
Arrived at the church another dif
ficulty presented itself in a lack of
water from frozen pipes, with the
net result that thechurch was fin
ally ruined,
It was the handsomest structure
of any description in the city and
the finest Baptist church building
in the South, costing about SIOO,-
UOO. Only $20,000 insurance was
carried.
The building is warmed by heat
ed air, which is piped from the
top of the furnace in large pipes,
These pipes pass close to the ceil
ing, which was ignited by the heat,
else the heat melted the solder and
escaping gas, which smelled very
strong, causing the fire. The edi.
flee is of brown sandstone and was
perhaps the handsomest of its kind
in the Smith.
It was but recently completed
Six streams played on the firt
from different points, but the in
terior was doomed. The high walls
alone were left standing, a mere
skeleton. Several narrow escapes
wets witnessed from flying slate
and timbers.
The church was richly finished
in stucco work and rare frescoes all
of which were ruined. The three
large square towers, guarding the
entrant*? were armed once
a fireman scaled seventy feet up
the interior of a tower to extin
guish a burning window with a
small line of hose from the chemi
cal engine.
FELT RELIEVED.
When His Amputated Feet Were
Straightened Out.
Niagra Fails, N. Y., Dec. 31.
About a month ago Ernest Ward
was thown under a train and his
feet mangled so th**y were obliged
to be taken off.
The youngster, but 14 years of
age, stood the operation heroically
and lived. The feet were t«ken by
his father to Wilson, his old home,
and buried. After the burial the
boy complained of intense pain in
his feet, which were off, and said
that they were cramped and the
lacing of the shoe was cutting into
his foot.
On advice of neighbors, the fath
er went to Wilson and exhumed
the feet. He found one portion of
the leg attached badly crampe and
doubled at the ankle and the lacee
of the shoe cutting into the flesh.
The father straightened them,
and about the same time the boy,
who knew nothing whatever of his
father’s doings, felt no pain, and
>has not since.
