A Prophecy Strangely Fulfilled.

The Rev. f. C. Longley, who dropped
dead while preaching in the pulpit OF
the Orchard NJ, +. Mission Church, at
Oakland Street and Nassau Avenue,
~Greenpoint, on Sunday, ssys the New
York San, was born in Bingham, Me-,
in 1918. He had lived in Canada before
going TO ~Greenpoint. His position in
the denomination was hat of local
preacher and class leader. The mission
is a branch Of the First Methodist Church
in Union Place. 1t had no regular
pastor, and the services OF a local preach
er were called to conduct the Sunday
services. Mr.. Longley had oniciatod
there for some time TO the satisfaction
OF the congregation.
Two years ago, Peter Longley, brother
OF the deceased preacher, died OF apo
plexy, and 3 year ago Samuel, another
brother, also died after a short illness.
On receiving news OF the latter's death,
the preacher asserted that it would be
his turn next year-a prophecy that was
strangely enough fulfilled on Sunday.
Mr.. Longley entered the pulpit in his
usual health, and after the service of
prayer and. song, took his text from
Isaiah: "Behold, l have given him for
a witness to the people," and the dis
course that followed was delivered with
more than his usual earnestness. Warm
ing in his preaching, he advanced to the
front of the platform, and raising his
right hand solemnly, he exclaimed:
"You a have salvation where you sit.
Salvation"
At this point q pallor spread over his
face. He staggered wildly backward,
stumbled on his seat, and fell heavily
to the floor. Many persons hurried to
his assistance. He was seen to gasp
once or twice, and then he ceased to
breathe. The most intense excitement
followed. Men, women and children
crowded around the altar, and word
was quickly passed without that the
clergyman was dead. DR.. Sherman az
rived shortly after, and gave it as his
opinion that death was the result of
heart disease; a complaint that it is
said vas first brought on by pecuniary
trouble, and which was afterward ag-
gravated by the excitement of preach
ing. Others who knew him well say
that his death vas FASTENED by business
troubles, and the ingratitude of an
adopted son. He is to be buried this
afternoon in Cypress Hills Cemetery,
from the Kosciusko Street Church.

A CURIOUS fact in the history of the

of the fire was carefully removed to the

mated that there were at least &C. coo persons
IN the immediate vicinity. The Trans sonti-
mental hotel caught FIRE on the roof four

from the fire that it scorched the paint on the
