FIRED BY NATURAL GAS.
Disastrous Blaze-Buffa1o's Big Cathe dral
Burned.

Disastrous B1aze-BuffaIo's Big Cathedral
Burned.
BUFFALO, N. Y, May 1O.-This morn
ing was decidedly sensational and dis
astrous one in Buffalo. A number of
most simultaneously, resulting, as sup
posed, from an over pressure, and caus-
ing widespread excitement be-
sides destroying the finest church
in Buffalo and doing other damage ST.
Paul's Cathedral, the pride and glory of
Buffalo, is in ruins. The entire interior
is burned out, the roof is gone, but the
strong stone walls and graceful spire re-
main.
At 800 O'Clock flames were seen burst
ing out of the fine stained glass windows
OF the church at the junction of Main
and Erie Streets and instantly most of
the interior was mass of flames. An
explosion had occurred in the basement,
the furnace being supplied with natural
gas, and the force was SO great as to tear
off and blow out the heavy doors on the
Erie and Pearl Street side. People ran
to see what was the matter and few en-
tered the vestibule of the church only
to be driven out by the flames. An
alarm was at once turned in, to which
the fire department quickly responded,
but they discovered nothing could
be done to save the interior of the
stately edifce, as the flames were
bursting from every window. Streams
were quickly brought to bear with but
little effect and the fire in few mo-
ments had reached the heavily tim
hered roof. In half an hour from the
time Of discovery, the interior of the
noble church was completely destroyed.
The fire was undoubtedly caused by
an explosion of natural gas as no smoke
or signs of fire were seen until after the
great doors had been blown into the
street The Rev. DR.. Brown retires
from the rectorship next month to as
sumo charge of St. Thomas Church, New
York. The church was valued at about
$250,00O. Insurance, on building $780,,
0O0, about $1,000 on the memorial win
dows and about So, 500 on the organ.
At 8 O'Clock this morning an ex-
plosion of natural gas occurred in
the kitchen of r. V. Pierce's
Sanitarium, 663 Main Street. The
gas was turned off but for some I'M
accountable reason second explosion
occurred at 9:15 which shattered win
dow panes and smashed things general
ly. Michael Drummer, foreman of hook
and ladder No. l, was quite seriously
hurt about the forehead. The greatest
excitement prevailed among the hun
dreds of lady clerks and employees for
time but no one was injured. Loss es-
timated at 81 ,000
Metres in Nos. and 10 station houses
were blown out but no special damage
was done. Explosions also occurred in
residences of Mrs. Judge Shelson, Main
Street; Harry Hamlin, Lawyer Perkins,
George j. Sicard, on North Street, and
Mr.. Goodyear, but no one has been re-
ported injured

ENGLAND FOR HOME RULE.
Gladstone Declares That the People Are
With Ireland.

With Ireland.
LONDON, May 10.-An address signed
by $3.50 dissenting ministers was pre-
scented to Mr.. Gladstone yesterday, ex
pressing their sympathy with him in his
efforts to reconcile England and Ireland.
In reply to the address, Mr.. Gladstone
said that during the present session the
Parnellites, despite the pressing needs
of Ireland, had refrained from urging
their claims and had assisted the
government to expedite business.
Whether or not Parliament was en-
ployed at this or that given time in dis
cussing Ireland, it was Ireland alone
that truly held the key to legislation.
The government knew that the nation
was with home rule and therefore
guided the affairs of Parliament so
as to delay the time when a
ministry would be in power,
pledged to propose home rule
for Ireland. The majority in the House
of Commons thought they could go on
for five years. They put this against
his life AS an old man, but the life of an
old or young man would not affect the
final settlement. [Cheers.l Ere long
the national sentiment would find
means to assert itself

BANKER HATCH FOUND DEAD.
Mysterious Midnight Tragedy at New


Mysterious Midnight Tragedy at New
York.
New YORK, May 8.-The dead body of
Nathaniel w. T. Hatch, banker and
broker at IA Nassau Street was found
this morning by a workman in the yard
in the rear of 64 West Twentieth. Street.
The manner of his death cannot
now be told, but there is the story
of Mrs. Lillian Scofeld a richly dressed
and handsome woman of about so
years, to suggest a suspicion of MUIR
der actuated by jealousy. Mrs. Scofield
was taken to the West Thirtieth Street
police station after the discovery of the
BODY. She and her husband, Charles.
W. Scofeld, lived in. apartments at the
address given.
Mrs. Scofeld said she dined with,
Hatch last night, at a restaurant in West
Twenty-seventh Street, a place known
as Nine Fannys. 1t was within half an
hour of midnight when they left the res
taurant, and Mr.. Hatch accompanied
her home. Arriving there she invited
him in, she said, in order to show him
her apartments. Mr.. Scofeld was at
that time asleep in the back parlor but
was aroused by the movements of his
wife and Hatch. The latter was hastily
concealed in room on the second floor
and Mrs. Scofeld turned to meet her
husband.
Scofeld's jealousy was aroused to a
hot pitch and he uestioned his wife In
most violent way concerning the man
who had been with her. She steadfast-
ly refused to give the mans name and
insisted that he had left the house,
There was lively quarrel between
husband and wife, which only
ended when Scofeld left the
house. The woman heard nothing
more. She searched the room
where she had left Hatch but could not
find him there or in any of the sur
rounding apartments and thought he
had left the house. She retired and
knew no more of the broker, or of
what happened in the night, until the
body was discovered in the yard this
morning.
Mrs. Scofeld was pale, but told her
story with the utmost calmness to Sergt.
Schmittberger, giving evidence of no
agitation. Her husband, Charles W.
Scofeld, was also taken to the station
house. He was formerly broker and
in good circumstances. He has been
away from home for a considerable
time. He told the police that he had
had cause on several occasions to
doubt his wife's fidelity Scofeld
and his wife were held at the police
station to await the action of Deputy
Coroner Scholer, who had been notified
of Hatch's death. The skull of the dead
man was fractured.
Mr.. Hatch was member of the firm
of Walter I. Hatch & Sons, bankers and
brokers at IA Nassau Street, and was the
eldest son Of the senior member of the
firm. He was SO years old, and lived
with his wife in handsome and well
furnished house at IS West Fifty-third
Street. Until few years ago he resided
in Brooklyn where his wife was one of
the most prominent ladies in society on
the Heights.

WOMEN NOT WANTED.
Methodist Bishops Exclude Them From
the Conference-A Knotty Question.

the Conference-A Knotty Question.
New YORK, May 1.-The Methodist
Episcopal General Conference to-day
voted to exclude women from the pres
ent conference and submit the question
of eligibility to future general confer
ences to the annual conference.
Bishop Ninde presided to-day, and
Rev. J. M. Johnson, of the Norway
conference, conducted the opening re-
hgious services. 1t was resolved to sus-
pend the rules and continue the debate
on the admission of women as Law
delegates. Forty-one delegates at
once sprang to their feet and
claimed the floor. Rev. II. H.
Moore, of the Erie conference,
was recognized. He spoke in favor of
admitting women. Rev. J. T. Edwards,
of the Detroit conference and editor of
the Northwestern Advocate, opposed
their admission at the present time and
favored the submission of the question
to vote of the church.
Judge S. n. Taylor, lay delegate from
the ST. Louis conference, got the floor.
He walked down the aisle with num-
Der of law books under his arm. He
proceeded to argue on the question on
constitutional grounds. 1t would do
much harm, he said, to admit women
at the present time. There were
bishops to be elected and other impor-
tant matters to be voted on ant if women
were admitted and allowed to vote and
it should subsequently be decided that
women were not entitled to seats, the
acts of the present general conference
would be illegal and unconstitutional.
kaI 1ox - 49, L L.
said that rather than have the
tionally he would pay all their
expenses and do all that he could to
save the body from error. He is in fa-
vor of the admission of women, he said
but he wanted the question submitted
to vote of the church and to have their
seats given to them on legal grounds.
Rev. DIR. j. Fl. Bayliss of the Cincin-
natl conference argued that if the gen.
eral conference had power to construe
the constitution in regard to the admis-
sion of local preachers it had the right to
cOnstrue the law in regard to the eligi-
bility of women.
The debate was closed about 1 o'clock
and q vote was taken on the adoption of
Rev. David FL. Moore's substitute for
the report of the committee. 1t pro-
posed that the women elected as lay
delegates to the present general confer
ence be seated and the question of their
eligibility to future general conferences
be determined by a vote of the
churches and annual conferences. This
substitute was lost. Then vote was
taken upon the amendment to the re-
port offered by Rev. DIR. Neeley, of Phil
adelphia. This amendment excludes
the women from seats in the present
conferences and submits the question OF
eligibility to future general conferences
to the annual conferences. It was
adopted by a vote of 249 ayes to 173
nays.
After the adoption Of DR.. Neeley's
amendment the report of the committee
with the amendment, was adopted by
the following vote: Ayes-Ministeria

MONTGOMERY, Ala, May 9.-Forty-
eight negroes engaged in the Land
Ridge riot have been arrested. 1t de-
velops to-day that the riot was the out
come of a deliberate plot to rise
and massacre the whites. 1t is.
claimed there are large societies through
out the United States who have resolved
to avenge their fallen ones and protect
their color in the future at all hazards.
The negroes claim that Lowndes, Cren-
shaw and Butler Counties have the
largest clubs and fully competent
to do their duty They state
that they have endured the mis-
treatment of the whites long enough
and propose to put an end to it or there
will be bloodshed. Meetings were held
bv the lodges to raise money to purchase
ammunition to kill the whites if they
attempted to arrest the negroes. The
principal negro engaged in the plot was
Bob Robinson, who was president of the
meeting. Bob spoke very bitterly
against the whites and implored his fell
low brothers to rise up in arms against

CHURCH PEOPLE IN ARMS.
A Michigan Congregation Attacks Sire Ell
Car Company.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, May 12.-The
congregation of the. Holland Reformed
Church have objected strenuously to a
I property. The company N put large
gang of men at work and laid the track
in one night. The Hollanders held an in
dignation meeting and at its close put the
railroad employees who were defending
stones and clubs, and tore up the track.
The police were summoned and the mob
greeted them with stones and then. dis
persed. The company relaid the tracks,
completing the work late last night under
police protection. When the last spike
was driven dummy engine was started
out to confirm possession. This was the
signal for another sortie. The church
bell summoned the church members
and the dummy was greeted with a
heavy shower of rocks. The officers
captured one mana deacon of the
church, and he is now in.jail.

reference to the 90" strike: "The in

Dozens of casks containing thousands of
