Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
New York, October 13.-The famous
Brooklyn Tabernacle, of which Rev. T.
De Witt Talmsge, D. D., is pastor, has
been for the second time in it's history,
totally destroyed by fire. At 2 :15 O'Clock
this morning policeman discovered
flames issuing from the small windows
over the main entrance and sent in the
alarm. Soon after the firemen arrived
it became evident that the edifce was
doomed. 1t burned like finder box, and
the fremen, despairing of saving it,
directed their efforts to the adjoining
property. Many of the occupants of the
neighboring dwellings were already
awake, and the police proceeded to
arouse those who were sleeping.
Two buildings on the east side, and
two on the west side, were destroyed,
and number of buildings across the
street from the tabernacle badly
damaged. This residents of the neigh
borhood we're awakened and rushed out,
and an enormous crowd viewed the fire.
In about an hour the tabernacle was a
complete wreck. The loss on the church,
including the organ and furniture. is
$3.50, 900, covered by insurance. The
loss on the adjacent buildings is perhaps
ten thousand dollars.
The origin of the fire is a mystery,
but the theory il that during the thunder
storm last night, lightning entered an
electric light wire and set fire to the
building.

CHICAGO. October 13.--When the stars
and stripes was raised at the Socialistic
meeting here this afternoon, it was
greeted with Kisses. There were PROB
ably thousand men and women in the
hall. The banner was brought out by q
janitor, who fastened it 30 that tee
folds of the flag fell on the stage at the
feet of those who were to be speakers,
and as he did so the Kissing increased in
volume. A red flag WAS then unfurled
and fastened on the opposite side of the
platform. Immediately the kissing
ceased, and was succeeded by q
loud burst of applause. After this
demonstration the New York Socialist,
Shevitsch, made a violent speech, the
points of which were loudly applauded.
He was proud of Chicago, the city in
which the Anarchists were hanged, be-
cause he felt that one day it would be the

walk down, and, what is far more serious,
to walk back to their lovely and salu

stood that Mr.. Mclaughlin claims that
he is not making money on his franchises,

equipment. If this be 80 he has placed
himself in the category of the

who received the almost unanimous re-
jcinder from his debtors, eff you

can" The embarrassment of the
Second-street Gable Car Company seems
to point to the immediate alb
sorption of that csllow enterprise by
the Pacific Railroad Company. Mr..
Mclaughlin should be compelled to fish
or cut bait. The people of Los Angeles
cannot afford to see him cucumber the
earth with two moribund enterprises at
once, whose ineffective operation, or,
rather, total cessation, works intolerable
inconvenience to multitudes.

While the cable-road system of Los
Angeles county is expanding ct an un.
precedented rate, the people of this city
were electrified on Sunday by the stop
page of the Second-street cable road
ostensibly on the ground that it did not
pay. This declaration of the managers
was led up to by the decision of Judge
CLARK, who bad ruled that the dummy
Cahuenga branch OF this company could
not, under the laws of California, enter
the city of Los Angeles. Judge Clark
based this decision on the language of
the California statute, which reads that
all street railways running in cities must
be operated by cable, mule or horse
power. Judge Clark's decision will be
questioned by very heavy San Francisco
interests, including the Sutro interest in
the Powell-street railway, which runs to
within short distance of the Cliff House
on the north, and the dummy road which
carries passengers around the outskirts
OF the Golden Gate Park to the ascent
which leads up to the Cliff House on the
south. In addition, there are manv
other dummy railways which traverse
portions of the city and county of San
Francisco. That Judge Clark's decisi On
will be appealed from cannot be doubted.
and it is to be hoped that an immediate
judgment may be rendered by the su.
preme Court of California, which con-
venes in this city tomorrow. Waving
all legal and judicial aspects of the mat
ter, the people living between Fort street
and Ellis College, and beyond, are suffer

We HAVE been lately favored with a
copy of the London edition of the New
York Herald, with an enormous display
advertisement under the head of the
"Harney Peak Tin Mines" marked in
blue pencil. The Herald's London
edition has evidently permitted itself to
be constituted the London assurance
agent of this proposition, whose merit is
doubtful in the extreme. The London
public is just now undergoing fever
heat Of speculation such as signalzed
the operations of George Law, SO many
years ago, which later eliminated in the
operations of Sir Morton Psto, in Lon
don, of Periere in Paris, both of the date
of the Third Empire, and of De Lesseps,
of the latest dates, with the melancholy
elimination of the fiasco of the Compton
D'Escomptes. This London edition of
an American paper seems to be
absolutely delirious in assisting
the promoters of schemes whose whole
recommendation seems to be coin. In
the general cast Of its news IT appears to
aim at the sensational, and has a long
story OF meteorological extremes in Los
Angeles and Santa Barbara counties
where the mercury ran to 1873 degrees
and upwards on certain occasions-of
course an uncomfortable lie. We are
inclined to think that we have seen
enough in this London edition of the
New York Herald to warn all honest
people "to have nothing to do
with schemes promoted in it's ad-
vertising columns unless they have
been at pains to employ conscientious
and competent business agents in the
premises. The New York edition of the
Herald would not dare to indulge in the
kite.fying specialties of it's London bust
ness associate. Perhaps just here we may
find the secret OF the wild ad.
ventures of British capitalists in ill.,
digested American business enterprises,
OF whose true standing the fools outside
Change know nothing. The promoter
guild in London just now is digging pit
falls OF unknown depth for. British gud-
geons, who yearn after unheard of rates
