Fr,ghtful Burning Calamity at Cincinnati.

Seventeen lives were lost at a fire in Sulli-
vans printing establishment, on West Sixth
street. An alarm brought the engines almost
instantly, and the firemen could reach the
building from the front and rear. It was not
fifteen minutes before the fire was SO much
under control that Chief Engineer Wisely was
enabled to reach the fifth or sixth floor
But he was too late to save the girls employed,
and he found ten bodies lying with hands to
their faces blackened and distorted in death.
The chief says:
The house is not burned out; in fact the
fire was, chiefly in the fifth story: In
the smoke I counted ten girls lying
upon boxes, tables and other things,
some on the floor. Their clothing
was not burned, but the skin on the back Of
the hands was scorched. TWAS the worst sight
1 ever saw in my experience. The girls lay
where they had fallen in their wild and help
less despair.
The fire started from can of benzine on
the second floor, near the elevator shaft A
boy on that floor says he heard report and
ins family the fire leaped to the elevator shaft
and up it. The shaft reached to the top of
the building, and from the second to the fifth
twas encircled by wooden stairway, which
was the Only means of access to those floors
The elevator shaft, to add to its combustibility,
was encased with thin wooden lattice work
The second floors where the fire started, was
the press room, the third the composing room,
the fourth, storage and waste room and the
fifth was the folding room. AS well as
can be ascertained, there were about
fifty occupants of.the building, OF whom
twenty or twenty-five were girls in the
fifth story. The boys were on the second and
third floors, and this accounts for their escape
All agree that the speed of the flames was al
most instantaneous. There was an avenue of
escape which the panic-stricken girls did not
think of. It was an opening in the roof which
they could easily have reached from bench
standing beside the wall, and once on the roof
they could have reached other buildings with
ease The lack of ready access to this place
lost all these lives

BUSINESS TROUBLES.
Heavy Dry Goods Failure at New Torl

heaNy Dry GOODS FAILURE AT New Ork
New YORK, November 1O.-Watson &
Barthclow, dry goods commission mer-
chants at 81 Leonard street, failed yester-
day and made an assignment to Charles D.
Wells, their cashier. The firm is composed
of Robert @. Watson and ]. NJ e. Bartho-

money to Mrs. Mary J.. Havemeyer, Mrs.
Jane P. Watson, John Gourlay, estate of

Taylor & Co. and Alexander Doughan &
Co. Assignee Wells said that he did not
care to give any details of the firms con-
dition until the schedules had been COM
pleted. The cause of the failure, he said,
was the inability of the firm to meet a
large amount of borrowed money which
they had been called upon to pay. When
asked if the liabilities would amount to
S5c0,000, as was reported in the trade, he
said that they would not. In the trade it
was said that the firm had lost on ad-
vances to manufacturers, had met with
some losses among its customers, and had
sunk money in mill in Philadelphia.
Friends OF the firm think that the liabili-
ties do not exceed 100000,

DIR. WOOdrOw's Present Attitude Toward

His Views on Evolution Tried
on Their Merits.

COLUMBIA, s. c., November 10.-The
present attitude of DR.. Woodrow toward
the Presbyterian Church, now that the
four sEnods have spoken, is worthy the
attention Of the readero of the AfpKAL
who have followed his trials and troubles
with such seemingly great interest. Be-
fore these trials DIR. Woodrow sustained
two relations. First, as a minister he was
responsible to Augusta Presbytery. Sec
ond, ss Professor in Columbia Seminary
he was responsible to the Board of Di-
trolling synods. As a minister, he called
upon Augusta Presbytery either to exon
crate him or to try him. The presbytery
refusing to do either, he complained to
the Synod of Georgia; and that synod has
just sustained his complaint by vote OF
45 to 13. The presbytery will now be
compt lied to exonerate him, or to try his
views of evolution on their merits.
As a professor, the first Board of Direct
ors indOrsed his views as consistent with
"perfect soundness." This led to the re-
moval of that board and the creation of a
new one. The new board removed him
from his office. But this action, before it
could go into effect, had to be approved
by "a majority" of the four controlling
synods. These synods have Just acted
Two Of them Georgia and Alabama) have
approved the boards action. Two of them
South Carolina and South Georgia and
Florida) have disapproved. The "major-
ity" of the synods has, therefore, not been
secured, and, consequently, the attempt
to remove DR.. Woodrow has proved in
effectual. He is still in office, and never
has been out. This is clearly shown by
the following quotations from the consti-
tuition OF the seminary:
Art. IL, Should his q professor'sl con-
tinuance in office be thought highly ipju-
rious or dangerous, the board may sus-
pend him temporarily until his case can
be fully tri d !; but all these acts shall be
reported to the synods, and be subject to
their approval, as in article 5.
Art. 5. But such elections of professors
by the directors shall be subject to the
approval of the synods, to which they
shall be reported at their next stated
meetings thereafter, and, if the election is
approved by msjority of the synods, or
If the synods fail to act, it shall be re-
garded as complete.
These citations show that, according to
the constitution, a professor can be elected
TO Ctfi3e or removed therefrom only when
the Board of Directors shall have secured
the approval of "a majority" of the syn
DDS. In this case there is no majority,
consequently there has been no removal.
As professor, DR.. Woodrow is still in
Office. As 6 minister, his case is remanded
to his presbytery, with instructions either
70 yindicate him or to convict him. And
so the case now stands.
