Many a tear was shed yesterday
morning when the people in the neigh
borhood Of Mt. Salem NJ X. church
about mile beyond the western limits
of the city and found that their beauti-
full church which had only been com
pleted and dedicated to the worship OF
God last November, had been entirely
consumed by FIRE, ana instead Of the
steeple pointing towards the sky and
the windows rejecting the bright Sab
bath sunlight, nought was left but a
pile of'blaekened ruins.
Mr.. John Laws, who lives short dis
tance from the church, was awakened
between two and three o'clock by the
bright glare Of the fire, which at 'that
time lit up the whole surrounding
country and penetrated his sleeping
room window. Mr.. Laws hurried to
the burning church, and soon other
neighbors began to gather NJ, bnt the
fire having wrapped the building by
that time in a sheet Of fame they could
do nothing more than to stand Ivy and
see it complete its devastating work.
The alarm was given in this city it
is said as soon as the fire watch could
be wakened up to strike the bell, but
before this some of the fire companies
were on their way to the fire, they
having themselves seen the light and
sounded tho alarm. The Water Witch,
Delaware, Friendship and Phoenix be.
ing the companies detailed to 60 be-
yond the city could do nothing for the
want Of water when they reached the
scene OF devastation, and even if they
had water they could have performed
no real service as the church was too
far consumed when they arrived.
By morning there was nothing left
but the black smouldering walls, the
north wall having fallen in by II
o'clock. The fire is supposed to have
been caused by defective flue, fire
having been made in the church on
Saturday evening to have the church
warm for Sunday morning services. Mr..
Laws passed by the church between u
and ! o'clock at which time he noticed
no sign of fire. The building was Of
Brandywine granite, with gothic archi-
lecture throughout and was memorial
church to the memory of the late Rev.
James Riddle.
The cost of the building including
furniture was nearly $4,000. which
was all paid except $4,000. The
church was insured through T.F.Plum-
mer's agency, for So, 500 in the Home
Mutual Insurance Company of New
York, and for $500 in the Hanover
of the same city, making total insur-
ance Of $1,000. The loss to the con-
gregation is about S., 600 which includ-
ing the 1900 they still owed on the
church, would equal the insurance and
leave them without money to start in
the erection of new church.
The case is one of peculiar hardship
and the Mt. Salem people are entitled
to not only the sympathies but the pc
cuniary assistance of the public. With
the articles consumed were two organs
and the Sunday School library. The
congregation yesterday was scattered,

New Government IN France.

For several years Marshal MacMahon

public, bat has always been considered
au imperiallst, and proved an impedl-
mpnt 10 the way of the Republicans
He was elected to succeed NJ. Thiers
who was compelled to resign because he
vas too decided Republican. But the
Jews and principles of this party have
J-.n steadily gaining ground, and at
TIE recent elections the Republicans
had decided majorities, both in the As
.~mbly and in the Chamber of Deputies.
They demanded certain reform
which the President reluctantly granted
until Thursday last, when certain Cen
erals we're asked to be relieved from
vonmand, which MacMahon refused to
grant, and consequently was compelled
u resign.
N. Grevy was elected his successor
c~ceiving 53G votes out of go, and thus
decided Republican victory has been
achieved. The new President has been
oar of Frances most active statesmen,
aud is in every way well qualified for
his position.
