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. Postmaster Jobe Eloned.
