About ten minutes to nine tonight fire broke out
in the part Of the Third Presbyterian
Church. situated on Warren street. which in
few minutes famed into
terrible blaze. The fire department was
quickly on the scene. The apparatus was soon ad-
justed and water was poured upon the burning edi-
hce. The flames in the meantime spread rapidly
and thereatened surrounding buildings. including
St. Mchaels Episcopal Church. half q bio k
distant. and directly opposite st. Mary's
Catholic Church, the American Hotel livery stables
and other public structures. Twenty minutes after
the flames burst forth the hremen had them par
TALLY under control. and directed their efforts
ing adjacent buildings At this time there was only
small blazing spot IN the middle OF the steeple
but the flames r-ad with terrific fury and the
whole edihce from top to bottom was ablaze-the
illuminated steeple presenting terribly sublime
looking spectacle. The spire remained ablaze until
il completely demolished and the burning
embcrs fell on the roof ard in the street. About
half hour after the fire started rain began pour

surrounding buildings. Had the rain not fallen
there would surely have been terrible conhagra-
ton. the fire was dense that it would have
been impossible for the Aremen to prevent it from

reigned.
THE CHURCH EDIFICE.
The church WAS = stone building. The roof and
spire covered with shingles, and this
gave full vent to the fury of the flames.
1t was one hour before the fire got under
control. and for hours afterward the hremen
kept pouring water to prevent further destruc-
ton. Only the bare walls remained standing the
bell tower, however, not being destroyed up to
the present writing. The inside of the
church Is mass of burning debris

Three four hremen were inside the church when
the roof fell down with terrific crash.
They saved themselves by getting under
the seats, and rescued. None
