BIC FIRE AT MILFORD.

The Station. Agents House and a
 Large Livery Stable at Milford
 Burned to the Ground Yesterday-
 Probably the Work of Tramp-The
 Loss About Five Thousand Dollars. Special dispatch to the JOURNAL AND COURIER.
 MILFORD, Jan. 10.-About 2 o'clock this morning Frederick Green, the telegraph op- orator at the Milford railroad depet, saw a bright light, which lit up the whole sta tion, and he, thinking the'latter was on fire, jumped hastily from his seat to find that the station was not on fire, but that Theodore Rristols livery stable was in a blaze. The fire from the stable had also communicated to the house owned by the railroad company and occupied by w. F. Smith, the station agent, and his wife. MT. Green gave the alarm, which awakened them just in time to save their lives. The barn was used as an extra stable and contained two carriages and sleigh be- Long wharf, this city, and @ carriage belong ing to Bristol, besides two tons of hay. Both buildings were burned to the ground, noth- ing being left of the house but the chimney. Some of the furniture was saved from the house, but the station agents loss will be about $250. The loss on the building is about $3, 900, fully insured. The barn belongs to Mrs. Knight, of New York State, and the loss on the barn will be about $1 ,00O, and was insured for $500. The carriages and hay valued at about $500 we're also destroyed.
 The work was probably. that of a tramp who went into the barn to sleep and set it afre with match or pipe. There was no watchman at the stable nights as every one left at dark

THE ANNUAL MEETING

l Of College Street Church Held Tester day Afternoon-Interestin Facts and Figures.
 The annual meeting of the College street | church was held in the lecture room yester- l day afternoon, the pastor, Rev. MT. McLane, presiding. The minutes of the last meeting l were read by the clerk, MT. Lloyd, and were | accepted. The report of the catalogue fo1 1885 showed that eleven had joined the church on confession of faith and seventeen by letter. During the year thirteen have been removed from the church by letter and five by death. On January 1, 1885, the membership of the church was AT and on January 1, 1886, 425. Six have died and three infants have been baptized. The average attendance at tho morning sessions for the year was 347, gain of sixteen over the num- Der of the previous year. The report of the given to benevolent objects, gain of $307. 13 over the amount given ill 1884. Mir. Holmes, superintendent of the Sunday school, in his report stated that there were twenty-one classes, two hay ing been formed during the year. The Sun day school has given $443 99 to benevolent objects, swelling the entire amount given by
  900. The pastor reported upon 'tthe state of religion" in the church. He said that this was very hard to estimate as even in the case of individuals it was almost impossible. The people of the church were not a spas modic, impulsive people, but were of a steadfast nature, believing in principles and adhering to them. Their religious life moved steadily and smoothly. The increase in attendance at church and in Sunday school was encouraging, also the in creased amount of the benevolent fund. The organizations of the young people he believed to be beneficial to the increase in interest and the spread of life among the young. The pastor commended the work of the various committees, especially that on Christian work and the floral committee. MT. Cowles, in reporting for the committee on evangelis- tic work, earnestly recommended thorough visitation among themselves, of the people of the church, and that each one should feel the personal re- sponsibility of his location. The committee on evangelistic work was not discharged. It was voted that the rules be amended and the names of the treasurer and clerk be add ed to the standing committee. Then follow ed the election of deacon the term of MT. s. B. Oviatt having expired. MT. Oviatt was re- elected by an almost unanimous vote. He declined to serve a second term, but his res ignation was not received. Deacons Peck and Cowles and MT. John Bradley were ap- pointed the nominating committee for the nomination of officers for next year. The meeting then adjourned to Tuesday eve ming.

Dedication of a Synagogue.

Last evening the Russian Hebrew congre-
 gation B'nai Jacob celebrated the dedica-
 tion of their newly purchased synagogue on
 Temple street, where they will henceforth
 hold their regular services according to the
 old Jewish ritual. The capacity of the syna-
 gogue is about 400 and at present fifty mem
 bers and their families form the eongrega-
 ton. Though the members are strictly or
 thodex, still they seem free from all fanati
 cism or bigotry as is shown by the fact that
 they invited Dr. Kleeberg, the minister of
 the reform temple here, to deliver the dedi-
 cation sermon. The reverend doctor through
 out the sermon showed respect for the ortho-
 dox views entertained by his auditors and avoided everything of polemic nature.
 The sermon began withs everal quotations from the Bible, the last of which was: "How
 beautiful are thy tabernacles, o Jacob! thy dwellings, O Israel" Then the speaker con tinued: Though this house appears insig- nifcant and wanting in outward beauty, still true beauty consists in g religious and devout
 heart. This synagogue must be considered beautiful when it is thronged with pious worshippers. You call yourselves B'nai Jacob, children of Jacob. Thus I greet you truly as my brethren, for are not all Israelites the children of Abram Isaac and Jacob, and do you not follow the noble example of your laGner ADram, or whom It was SalO IlaG wherever he sojourned he built an altar to the Lord and preached in the name of the Lord! About five years ago you came here in large numbers; you had to suffer and to struggle and many fought fierce battle for existence. But you re- member now the words of the bible, man does not live from bread alone, but by the word of God man shall live. And thus you have established place of worship here for yourselves and posterity. But, friends, re- member that according to the ancient Jew ish conception, the house of learning stands gher than the house of prayer; hence you l must begin to establish school for the re- l ligious instruction of the rising generation; for ''he who closes his ears to the study of the law, his prayer is an abomination. Here you will congregate at all important events of life after sickness, at recovery, at mar riage, and when you mourn the loss of dear departed ones, to adore the God of Israel The sermon was listened to attentively by all present, and at it's close the president, MT. Bonoff, delivered short address of thanks to the president and members of the Congregation Mishkan Israel as we'll as to Dr. Kleebe1g, whom he termed an ever faith ful friend during their former trials and suf ferings.

THE sUNKEN SCHOONER.

A Close Lock at the Wreck-No Bod-
 les FOund-The Crew Drowned-Ths
 Latest.
 The tug Resolute of the Empire Transpor- tation company with crew of old salts under Captain Frank Brown made brave attem pt to be of some service in the case of the un- known schooner which sunk off Milford, about a mile east of Charles Island, before daylight Saturday morning. Report reached here that the vessels crew were clinging to the rigging. The Resolute found no sign of life on board the ill-fated vessel. It lay in four fathoms of water, only her topmasts were visible.
 The following was received from Milford late last night:
 Special Dispatch to the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 MILFORD, January 10.-Captain Ford of the steamer William MeIwin says: We ran our steamer up to the wrecked schooner and made fast to her topmasts. Captain Ford thinks that the vessel was an old one one, but could not say what her name or cargo was. He thinks the vessel went down during the night and that all the crew were drowned before daylight, and that there was no one in the rigging at anytime. He also says that from what he can find out by the looks of things that there were five or six men composing the crew and that the vessel went down so quickly that the men did not have chance to get off before they were drowned. Yesterday when the men were at work on their oyster beds near by the yawl boat from the wreck broke loose and was picked up by the men and brought to the shore. No one was at work on the wreck yesterday, as they can't do anything unless they have 8 diver: it is too far under water. Captain Ford says the vessel is on Merwln's oyster beds. No bodies or refuse from the wreck have been washed ashore as yet.

A Large aud OrGerly Meeting at
 CarlPs Opera House-Zers Weather
 in the Hall as We'll Outside
 Interesting Addresses.
 Although zero weather prevailed last even- ing it did not prevent the people from crowd ing Carll's Opera House in every part with one of the best audiences that has yet assem bled within it's walls on the occasion of the Good Samaritan meetings. The disturbing element which on some other occasions had made itself obnoxious to respectable people seems to have entirely vanished, and the re. suit has been that better behaved and more intelligent class of people have taken thei1 places. The only drawback to good meet ing last evening was the frigid state of the atmosphere inside the opera house, which seemed to chill whatever warmth the people had for the cause into an Arctic coldness There were many complaints on this ac- count
 After the usual opening exercises Sylvanus Butler, who is ever ready to say good word in aid of the cause of temperance, was intro duced and made capital address. His re- marks were interspersed with facts and fig ures showing the fearful cost of the use of strong drink and the evil results that follow ed in the train of liquor selling and liquor drinking. His closing appeal to the intem- perate to sign the pledge, which he charac- terized as the charter of freedom, was earnest and convincing.
 Charles A. Baldwin was next introduced. The speaker in a very graphic manner re- hearsed the scenes at the outbreak of the late rebellion and the struggles to preserve the unity of the States unimpaired which followed and then passed to consider the great conflict in which the world is now engaged against intemperance and the vices which follow in it's train. Referring to the economical part of the question, the speaker said that over nine million dollars were annually ex- pended for intoxicating liquors, which was more than the amount expended for meat and this enormous amount was worse than wasted. He then referred to the humanita rian view of the question and said that man who was total abstainer from all intoxi. eating drinks was a credit to tho community in which he lived. This society, said the speaker, does well in trying to bring mer back to their right relations with the com munity As our armies conquered the rebel lion and as God is true, we shall yet see the cause oftemperance triumphant in our land In closing the speaker earnestly urged those present who had not already done so to en roll themselves under the banner of the Good Samaritans and thereby aid in the work fol humanity and for God.
 President Luddington then stated that ow ing to the prevailing cold in the hall b, would cut short the remaining portion of th' exercises. He then introduced MT. Thomas Ackrill, who rendered very finely 6 song en titled 'fTwo Little Urchins.' A harmonics duet by Messrs. Lubenow and Longstein fol lowed and the exercises were brought to close with selection by the orchestra.
