caucus last night was satisfactory 10 the free

the Ways and Means Committee, who will
act upon them before trusting them TO The

amendments and doubtful as TO the effect on
the party when the discussion would begin.

caused, il is supposed, by an overprcssure,
aud caused widespread excitement, besides
destroying the finest church in Buffalo, and
doing other damage St. Pauls cathedral,
the pride and glory of Buffalo, is in ruins.
The entire interior is burned out and the
roof is gone. but the strong stone walls and
the graceful spire remain. At 9-20 O'Clock
the flames were sesn bursting out of the fine
stained glass windows OF the church at the
junction OF Main and Erie streets, and in
s,antly most of the interior was mass of
flames An explosion had occurred in the
basement, the furnace being supplied with
natural gas, aud the force was SO great as to
tear of and blow out the heavy doors on the
Erie and Pearl street sides. People ran to
see what was the matter and a few entered
the vesiibulc 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 when they arrived
nothing could be done 10 save the interior of
the stately ediiice, as the flames were burst
ing from every window. Streams were quick
ly brought to bear, with but little effect, and
the fire in a few moments had reached the
heavily timbered roof A great crowd had
gathered and sazed awe-struck at the specta-
cle. while exclamations OF sorrow were heard
on every hand.
The fire burned with especial fury on the
E1ie street side, when it attacked the fine
Hook K Hastings organ in the choir left. In
half an hour from the time Of the discovery
in the interior of the noble church it was
completely destroyed.

Lightning VS.. OIL Tanks.

Oh Cry, Pa, May I3.-An iron tank
containing 1900 barrels Of oil, two miles VI
Oil creek, was struck By lightning on Satur
day At II O'Clock this morning the tank
boiled over, setting fire TO another tank on
the opposite side of the creek, containing
$1,000 barrels. Wing dams are being built in
the creek Thiriy-seyen thousand barrels ol
oil are insured.
Oh CRY. Pa, May 1.-THE fire is now
believed to be under control. The great over
flow, watched for with so much terror, oc-
CURED shortly before O'Clock this morning,
The tank vomited its flames and contents,
and huge islands OF burning oil, some oi
them a hundred feet in diameter, foated
down the creek. The booms proved useless
and the fierce mass of fire swept on, burning
several dwellings, the Western New York
and Pennsylvania railroad bridge, two miles
below, and large barrel factory. The loss
is estimated at $4,000. There was very
little sleep in the city last night, as it was
feared the town would be destroyed.

The fire has burned itself out and all dan
ger has passed. The first reports were great
ly exaggerated, and the loss will not exceed
100000 The oil destroyed is of 4 quality
on which premium of Is TO 20 cents per
barrel is paid, making it worth that much
more than the market quotation.

Tur on;nion of thc supreme Cont,
constituting the Brooks license law, the
full text of which will lie found else
where in this paper, settles beyond az
cav;l that the Courts Of Quarter Sessions
have practically unlimited discretion
IN the matter and that no person can de-
mand license as matter OF right. In
the case before the court, counsel ior the
applicant contended that his client was
entitled TO a license as 4 matter OF night,
he having complied with all the require
ments OF the Act of 1887. and no remon-
strance having been filed against his APP
plication. But Judge Paxson, who deiiv-
cred the opinion of the court, says, ne
has not such absolute right, nor has any
other man in the Commonwealth.
Under the law as laid down in this de-
cision. all authority in this matter is vest
ed in the Court of Quarter Sessions and
they can, if they see fit, enforce practical
local option in the districts over which
they have jurisdiction, and their action
in the matter is not subjec, to review by
the higher court. The Quarter Sessions
Court is not even Obliged 10 exercise
judicial discretion; whether there is re-
monstrance or not, OF if no evidence Is
submitted to show that the applicant Is
not man Of good character, or the
house for which the license is applied
for is a necessity, the court, il it thinks
the license should not be granted, has the
power to refuse, and from this decision
there is no appeal.
If this is law il is very poor law and
the Legislature at its next session should
see that it is repealed or amended
