CHURCH BURNED.

correspondence st. Paul Globe.
HAMILTON STATION, MINI, April 13.-The
large Catholic church, one mile from this
village, known as the "Burnsville Church."
was totally destroyed by fire at 2 O clock this
morning. Our resident priest, Rev. P. F.
Glennon, was awakened by cracking
noise, and found that his church was on
ire. He Immediately aroused his house
keeper, who in turn aroused the nearest
nelghbors. On their arrival Mr.. d. j..
Burns broke open the front door and COM
menced to ring the bell. After few
strokes of the bell the rope broke and the
bell was rendered useless in awakening the
neighbors. The fire was found to be in
the rear of the church, in the altar and
vestry room, and the church was so filled
with smoke and fire that nothing was saved
but the priests Yestments. bucket bri-
gade was formed, who poured water on the
roof and sides of the parsonage, which
narrowly escaped burning. Fortunately
the wind was blowing from the east, and
no further damage was done.
Had the wind been from the
wess, the loss would have been very
sorioos. The two neighbors, D. j. Burns
dwelling and out buildings, and John Ber-
would undoubtedly have been burned. The
loss is estimated at $4,000 to $4,000, on
which there is insurance in the st. Paul Fire
& Marine, of $4,000. The origin of the fire
is unknown, but it is supposed to be the
work of an incendiary. A temporary
church is going to be built, in which to
hold services until new and substantial
building can be built.
