THE FIRE RECORD.

A Church i'm Ffames-COmp1ete Des-
 tructiOn of the EdiSice.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-Early this morning Trinity Episcopal church on Fourth avenue and One Hundred and Twenty fifth street men could put streams of water to bear upon the flames the whole interior was a mass of burning material, and, despite the efforts of the fire department, continued to rage with unabated fury. At 3 o'clock the great bel lows exploded with noise that was heard a mile of. At daylight only the walls were standing. A magnificent piece of oval stained glass work in front of the organ, which cost $4 900, was entirely destroyed. The organ, containing thirty three key boards and fifty stops, cost $10,00O, was insured for $7,000. The edifice was an impos- ing one, built of stone, and the congregation was 8 wealthy one. The building cost $125,- There was an insurance of $50, 900 upon 1t in various companies. About midnight police officer of the neighborhood saw thin white smoke within the building and notified the sex. ton. The sexton and officer entered the church together, and discovered steam escaping from the boiler in the cellar of the building, which heats the church. An examination showed that the water was nearly out of the boiler and that there was heavy pressure of steam Fearing an explosion the two. men withdrew the fire from beneath the boiler, and declare that they are sure the coals were all extin- guished. It is conjectured that in some man ner some of the coals communicated fire to the wood work, and that this remained undiscov cred until the whole interior of the building was in flames.
 Fire broke out in the drying room of David Buchners tobacco factory in Duane street and caused loss of SIG, 900 to the stock and buildinp

sumed to have been so named on account of having metaphorically raised black flag, in- dicative of an uncompromising war against the Government and tyrannicaI laws of the Russian empire. This paper is said to have made kind of speciality of the advocacy of distribution among the people of the vast areas of land now held by the Government and by the nobility, denouncing the latter as rioting in luxury from the spoils taken from the poor. The Black, like several other rev olutionary journals, was printed In SO com- plete secrecy that it has until now been able to bafae the search of the police. It appeared with regularity, and copies of it were laid by unseen hands on the desks of the police and Government officials, and found their way mysteriously into the private apartments of the Czar himself. Numerous arrests were made of persons suspected of being con- cerned in it's publication, several of whom bear names well known in the Russian cap ital.
 The fears felt by the Czar for his own safe- ty and for the security of his crown are reported to be more manifest from day to day. He distrusts his nearest attendants and is con- stantly ordering changes to be made in the number of those who are about his person. His vacillating and timorous conduct reminds his friends of that of Oliver Cromwell during the last days of his power in England, when he suspected even his tried adherents of pur- pose to murder him and saw the shadow of an impending fatality in the most ordinary events, The state of the Emperor's mind, and his unjust and unreasonable persistence in as- suming even members of his own household to be his enemies, intensi6es the unfortunate feuds already existing in the imperial family and shuts him completely out from the sym pathy and counsel of his wife and sons. It is believed here that the crisis in the affairs of the Russian Government, before predicted in these dispatches as close at hand, is much nearer than has been generally supposed, and that the Emperor is face to face with the al formative of abdicating in favor of the Czare. witch as head of 8 constitutional monarchy, or risking the results of what it is believed will be one of the bloodiest and most disas. trous popular revolution in history.

The Chinese Must GO-BIO0dy Threats
 of the Sand Lot Brigade.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 11.-There was anoth- CT bread or work meeting at the sand lots yes terday afternoon and the usual number of in- cendiary threats. There is no doubt that Kearney is responsible for these meetings, as they were inaugurated immediately upon his return from the East. Simultaneously upon his arrival there was an immense number of sanguinary circulars headed "K. K. K.' threatening everyone employing Chinese with extermination. The facts are known to the daily papers, but are not published. The police have copies of the circulars and are en. deavoring to discover who got them out with view of punishing the circulators.
 large assemblage of unemployed men gathered in the sand lots this afternoon and about six hundred marched in procession to the office of the Central and Southern Pacific railroad to demand the dismissal of the China men and the employment of white laborers. Their committee was quietly received by President Stanford, after which part of the crowd returned to the sand lot and dispersed. Another meeting will be held to morrow, when the procession will visit all the firms employing Chinese

 1ractss
 NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The contract be- tween the New York Central and the Erie railway companies regarding a new pooling arrangement has been finally agreed upon, and will be signed by Vanderbilt and Jewett as soon as the amendments proposed can be incorporated in the original agreement.

It has been substantially agreed to by the subscribing parties, and the conclusion of negotiations is hourly expected. Although the precise terms of the contract have not been made public, it can be stated after inquiry in proper quarters that this arrangement will be very advanta geous to the New Jersey Central.

It is known that the road is now earning surplus in it's ordinary traffic.

The Trial of Shepherd Cowley.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The trial of Rev. Edward Cowley of the Shepherds Fold was continued this morning. The court room was more crowded than yesterday. Dr. Edward 0. Spitzka testified that he had seen Louis Victor on January 30 and found him very much emaciated. The tissues of his body were very much diminished and his abdomen enlarged owing to the immense amount which his ravenous appetite desired, and which was given him by the hospital authorities. Wit ness found him intellectually far below the average of children of his age and suffering from starvation.
 Officer Hubbard testified to visiting the Fold January IT and removed twenty-six children. He found the children in the base ment of the premises seated on boxes. There was no furniture excepting three chairs and two small tables.
 Dr. F. H. Hamilton saw Louis Victor at the hospital January 13. The boy was very feeble and much emaciated, scarcely able to sit up. The diet furnished him at the Fold was in his opinion wholly insufficient and tended to produce scrofula. The prose- cution then rested and counsel for the defense
 
 which occupied most of the afternoon. The first witness for the defense was Mrs. Mason, of Boston. She testified that she was sister of Mrs. Cowley, and visited the Fold in March last and few days before last Christmas, and attended upon Louis Victor, who was then emaciated. He had had 8 cough and gave him the medi- cine that had been prepared by Mrs. Cowley. He was frequently fed from the same table with MT. and Mrs. Cowley, and he was treat ed with the same kindness as the poor sick child demanded.
 Mrs. 0. N. Ferris who owns the house in which the Fold was kept. and boarded with the Cowleys, testified that, so far as she knew, Louis Victor was treated kindly. The boy had cod liver oil.
 Charles Cowley, brother of the &C., l cused and trustee of the Fold, testified |: My brother had no salary and I have con- tributed to the support of the Fold. I saw Louis Victor several times, and know he was well fed have seen fish and potatoes on the ehildren's table. There were five hun l dred pounds of rice stored in the house. Adjourned till tomorrow.
