TELEGRAPHIo JOTTINGs.

The latest newspaper story from New York is that syndicate has been formed for the purchase of the Star, and that an option on the paper has been secured from MT. Col- lis P. Huntington. The price of the paper will be reduced to cent, and the name may be changed to the Democrat. Two members of the syndicate went to Washington Thurs- day evening to talk to Congressman A. J. Cummings to offer him 900 per year and 16 per cent. of all profits to. manage the pa- per under its new administration.
 The prohibition bill was passed by both houses of the North Dakota legislature on Thursday afternoon. Before its passage could be effected it was necessary to eliminate the emergency clause putting it into effect May and 1t will now go through the regular course and take effect July 1. Senator Fuller intro duced joint resolution to amend the consti. tution by striking out all of the prohibition articles. The supporters of this resolution say that the passing of the prohibitory bill does not indicate that the proposed amend ment will have no strength, as many mem- bers who believe in the enforcement of the prohibition article are of the opinion that the proposition for amendment was not fairly presented at the last election.
 It was quite practical exhibition of the WoIkiuko oh Sno INoW 1oEk clty uIo alaIm system that the members of the Interna- tionsl American conference enjoyed at Fire headquarters in that city yesterday morning, when an alarm came in from the box at the corner of Fulton and William streets. This was about il o'clock. The visitors were much interested in the workings of the system. There were about dozen ladies in the party, which altogether included about fifty persons. The Hon. Charles R. Plint and Cornelius N. Bliss were the representa- tives of the government present, while Major Burke was in charge of the arrange ments.

 During the progress of this reorganization It has been frequently suggested in tho public press and by numerous and large holders of the company's securities that 1t would give greater stability to the reorgan- ized company if Q management committed to reorganization, and absolutely in the interest of the property, could be secured for several years.

AN OFFICIAL REPORT
From the Pastor. of A. M. E. Zi
 Church.

From the Pastor. of A. M. E. Zion
 Church.
 The public having literally aided us in the repairs on our church building we deem it reasonable that the following report shall be made public:
 We entered upon the pastorate of the church May 18th, at which time we found the church building in very dilapidated condition; we unitedly entered upon . thorough renovation at an established cost of about $500, but as the worked progressed the needed repairs swelled the cost to $l, : 524. "A: the running expenses of the church from May to December 1et has been about $7OO, which, together with few outstanding debts swelled the amount of our obligation | to @, ,439. "A.
 Through the liberality of the public and free will offerings of the members of the church and congregation $1,692.72 o1 | this amount has been raised and | paid, leaving an indebtedness of $747.22 | The pastor and many of the mem. | bers have again assessed themselves, and or | the last Sunday in this month an effort will 1 be made to "wipe out'' the debt, that we | may with the new year enter upon special | revival work. We trust that our friends | will again come to our aid and assist us ir "wippine outn the remainder of the debt Any who feel 50 disposed may send theil | contributions to the pastor, or be present and | assist us on Sunday, Dec. 29th. Respectfully yours.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

A Collision at Sea Narrowly Averted
 -Colder Weather Coming-A Roaring
 Cold Wave in the Northwest.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-A dense fog hung over the city this morning, causing many de- lays on the ferrys, and making travel on the elevated railroads slow and tedious. Toward noon the fog lifted somewhat, but Sergeant Dunn, of the weather bureau, says that we may expect it back again with us tonight accompanied by either rain or snow. The sergeant also declares that it will be warmer, but by to-worrow night or Sunday at the farthest, we may expect snapping cold wea- ther.
 A roaring cold wave now prevails in the northwest, and is gradually vending it's way to the Southeast. We will probably catch it's tail end, but that will be sufficiently frosty to make our ears jingle. The coldest place in the country was at St. Vincent, where the thermometer registered 20 de- grees, below zero. The temperature here was 40 degrees above; while at Boston it was A. Philadelphia and Washington 42, and Chicago 32.
 A heavy storm is now raging south of the lake region, and north of it snow is falling. The Erastus Wiman and the Brooklyn ferryboat Winona narrowly escaped collision with each other in the fog early this morn ing. Both boats were crowded with pas sengers.
 The passengers on both boats were thor oughly alarmed.
 The Communipaw ferryboat Plainfeld could not find her New York slip this morn ing. The tugboat Vulcan passed her several lines and managed to get her into it. There was heavy ebb tide on, and the boat, but for the Vulcan, could not possibly have made her slip.

Terrible Scene at . Public schooi ID
 +,s Detroit.
 DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 20.-Thirty children in the Tilaen public school were rehearsing yesterday afternoon for Christmas oantata, which was to have been produced this after noon for their schoolmates and friends About twenty of them remained until D o'clock, when they were making the final re- hearsal of chorus. One of them held candle close to the aocompanist, that she might the more readily read her notes in the growing darkness, when one of the children. who was swinging a wand, accidentally knocked the candle out of It's holders hand against the dresses of the children nearest, and into pile of infiammable stuff near by.
 The costumes of the children took fire in- stantly, and before the teachers could put out the flames sixteen of them were badly burned--two fatally, three so badly that they will die, and three others seriously.
 An alarm brought police and hospital ana- balances to the scene. The building did not catch fire, else the entire party might have been burned to death.
 Jennie Lankshear, fifteen years old, was horribly burned about the body, dying at
 Bertha Moody, aged 12, was burned about the hips, head, arms and face. and died this morning.
 Bessie Bamford ,aged IA, was burned about the body from the waist up and will die.
 Carrie Westgate, aged 13. had her hair burned off, inhaled flame and Is given up by the doctors.
 Lucy Renshaw, aged 15,. was burned in a similar manner.
 The physicians have no hope of the recov- cry of these children. In addition. Carrie Bentliff aged 16, Nellie Thatcher Is, Edna Hollands 13, Mabel Symmes IS, Georgie Ho- mer 12, Alex McMillen 12, Edith Wheeler IA. Mildred Racquet 15 and Jennie Robinson IS were badly burned, some of them very seri- ously.
 The scene during the panic ensuing the blaze was friahtful one. Two of the little lads, Edward Wheeler and Alexander Mo- Milan, pulled the burning costumes off the children and tore the flags and draperies from the walls, thus preventing the spread of the flames. The ambulance removed the children to their homes.

Death of pr. Charles F. Linquist.

Death of pr. Charles F. Linquist.
 Dr. Charles F. Iinquist, eldest son of Dr. and Mrs. M. F. Linquist, died at the home of his parents. No. 120 Olive street. shortly after 8 o'clock yesterday morning. He had been in delicate health for several years. Consumption was the cause of his death. He graduated from the Yale Medical school with the class of 'S3. and after spending year at the hospitals in Vienna and Sweden, began prscticing his profession in Portland. plaint which finally caused his death. The last three years of his life have been chiefly spent in travelling. A long letter from him, describing many interesting points of one of his trips up the west coast of Mexico, was published in the COURIER. He spent con- siderable time in the Bermuda Islands, in the pine forests of Germany, in Georgia, and California. At one time he was 50 much im- proved that he located in Portland, Conn.,, where he soon won a fine practice. His health failed and he sought it in travel and afterwsrd settled in Worcester, Mass., with most fattering prospects. Again his health failed, and he went to milder climes in the hope of its restoration. His last trip was to Southern California. About four months ago he returned home. All that tender, un. remitting care and the best medical skill could do were unavailing. Deceased was young man of high aspirations and char acter, and he was recognized as @ most promising young practitioner. He made an intellectual but brave battle against disease, and his fortitude and enduring patience in trial, marked brave and noble spirit. De- ceased was twenty-seven years old at the time of his death. He was unmarried.
 The funeral will be held Monday after noon at o'clock, at the residence of his parents, on Olive street, and Tuesday the re- mains will be taken to Greenwood cemetery, Brooklyn, N. Y., for intermsnt.

How to Unmarry. From "Reminiscences of Literary and Clerical


 My grandfather used to tell an amusing story about an ignorant young couple in his parish. He had married them. but the mar riage was a failure; they could not get on at all we'll together. They had vast unde6ned ideas of what rector could do, and it enter- ed into their foolish minds that he might be able to undo their marriage. So they asked him whether he could not take them into church again and perform some service which would set them free, as they were before: The rector said, musinRly: We'll, think if you come to church could put you in a way of being unmarried. Also, it is a curious kind of business, and instead of coming to the altar, as before, you will have to go into the belfry.
 So the unhappy couple readily assented, and on an appointed time they went to the church, and the rector marched them into the belfry. "You see these two tfestles, he said 1.-the husband will have to stand upon one trestle and the wife upon the other" Accord ingly the husband, with much wonderment, stood on trestle and the wife did the same. "Now. each of you take bell rope in your hand" This was done. "Now, each of you tie the bell rope round yonr neck and jump off the trestle." "Lor', sir" said one of them, "we should be hanging ourselves" Exact ly," said the rector; "that is swhat mean. The only way by which you can unmarry yourselves in church is by hanging yourself in the belfry."
