On Easter Sunday night, April I0, Ioof,
the beautiful Ascension (EpiscopaD
church, Oh North Third street, Still
water, was discovered to be Oh fire, and,
being wood structure, was soon con-
sumed, together with all the church
furniture and fixtures and a splendid
pipe organ. Yesterday at 10:30 a. m. the
new brick edifice, bearing the same
name, was opened to the public, and the
beautiful Easter service rendered to a
congregation which taxed its spacious
limits to the utmost. Bishop M. n.
Gilbert presided, assisted by Rev. Stowe,
formerly of Anoka, the regular parish
rector. The house was profusely decor
ated with choice ported plants and cut
flowers, ana the musical portion of the
service was probably the finest ever rem
dered in the city. 1t was given by the
regular church quartette choir, COM
posed of Messrs. Masterman and Berry,
Mrs. Doe and Miss Robertson.
In the afternoon baptismal service
was attended by a large number, at
which the right of baptism was admin
istered.
This church was we'll filled, and a
special musical programme was rem
dered. The sermon by Rev. W. H. All
bright was appropriate to the day, re-
garding the burial and resurrection of
Christ. In the evening a special song
service was held, in which the Young
Peoples association took prominent
part.
METHODIST CHURCH.
At the First M. E. church appropriate
Easter services were held. At 1880 a.
m. the pastor, Rev. N. Liscomb, preached
upon ''The Resurrection of Christ and
Doctrines Founded Upon It." In the
evening an Easter concert was given by
the children of the Sunday school, as
sisted by the choir and congregation.

In the evening II. II. Hart, secretary of
the state board of corrections and chart
ties, lectured upon 'JailS."
ST. MICHAEL'S.
At st. MichaelS church the crowd of
worShiperS filled its spacious audito-
rum. The church was handsomely dec
grated, and the services more than usu-
ally interesting. At 3 p. m. there was
baptiSmal service.
UNIVERSALIST CHURCH.
An interesting service was held here,
Rev. j. F. SCHNEIDER, the pastor, presid-
ing. The church was neatly decorated,
and special features were introduced,
in which score of ladies and gentle
men of the congregation joined.
The general attendance at all the
houses of worship was extremely large
and the throng upon Third street at the
close of service was inspiring to the re-
ligiOusly inclined.
MILITARY FUNERAL.
The Sons of Hermann buried their late
brother, Rudolph Rutemann, from his
residence, 1922 North Broadway, at p.
m. The society turned out in full force.
and headed by STEMS First Regiment
band, of st. Paul, marched down Main
street and to the cemetary at South
Saltwater, where the burial took place,
POLITICAL.
Thus far no nomination has been
made to replace the name of j. F. Burk,
nominated by the Democratic conven-
ton of the First ward, but who declined
to run. In the Second ward the ward
committee to whom the matter of a
candidate for the three-year alder
manic term was referred, have
recommended the Endorsement of
George Borrowman, the Republican
nominee. The matter seems to be clos
ing down to mere personal preference,
in which politics cuts no figure.

A man named w. j. Carter. in the en-
ploy of r. j. Wheeler, was killed at the
camp on Eau Claire lake on Saturday.
Mr.. Durant telcgraphed to have the re-
mains suitably cared for, and to be held
