ROCHESTER Sunday morning July p.
81 Pauls Church is heap OF ruins Flames
were discovered issuing from the tower OF this edhoe
this morning at o'clock and, In lees than an hour
nothing but the bare walls were left stsndng Nothing
was saved but the library snd furniture OF The Vesy
room. In the basement The fine orgsn, Wmeh cost
originally $1,000 is totally destroyed ana the new pen,
hung in The tower about year since Ia now mass oi
molten metal
st Pauls was the most costly and imposing church
edhce ia the city and the largest in size except one
was substantially built OF stone ia l29, and cost StOUVV
The tower 100 feet In hight and the oitest IN the
city The congregation worshipng there had suffered
greatly from Peeunisy emoarrsssmentS sno u was ony
February last that they were able 10 announce tnsn
selves out OF debt This calamity islls heavily upon
them yet As learn from the Rector kev Dr. Van 10
gen, they will Immediately commence rebuilding Inc
Insurance money, $1,000 will be sufficient sum 70 De
gln with and funds will doubtless be raised In addition
10 rebuild in style credtsbe to the congregation ana
the city
The origin OF the IRE is mystery, The danes were
hrs issuing from tho belfry windows IN the tower
about hundred feet from the ground Ihey spread
with incredible rapidly to the top OF the tower ana also
In downward direction through the inside nmoers 70
the roof and ia few minutes the whole edi1ce stood
vast sheet OF usme lighting up from It's commanding po
ston, The country Tor miles around. No person had
been IN The tower but the young who rang the bell
a, nine the evening previous aud he only sseendcd 10
the second door Inc isct that the bell rope burned
OF high IN the vicinity OF the bell shows that the tire
first originated there. sfnA door, IN another portion
Of the tower was usually left open that tha wachnsn
might reach the tolhug rope strke for tire alarms
From this place, Though there were no stairs boy
might climb into the 5eTy The inference therefore
is ihs, the ire set by an incendiary who found
