Talmage's Church.

From Maine to the four new states,
from Oregon to Florida, sympathy and
regret will stir the breasts of men and
particularly of women at tidings of the
burning of Parson Talmages church,
the Brooklyn Tabernacle. However the
masses of people disagree on politics or
theology, they all read Talmage's SER
mons. He has reached the popular heart
as no other preacher of his time, except
Beecher, has done in this country. For
years, regularly every Monday, good
grandmothers all over the land have
seated themselves, newspaper in hand,
spectacles on nose, and read Talmage's
sermon, every line and letter.
But the fire that consumed Talmage's
church could not put out the fire in the
dauntless parsons soul. His trustees
announce that the church will be rebuilt
Immediately, not indeed on the same
site, but farther away from the business
center It is rather remarkable that
this is the second fire that has consumed
Taimage's church in Brooklyn on this
same Site The first one occurred in
December, 1872. The present organiza-
ton is not so rich as supposed. Hardly
anybody is. The congregation were
still burdened with debt for the building
just destroyed.
Meantime the indomitable parson who

The ELECTRIC LlaHT.-The Iong-discussed
question of the electric light is now settled and
both boards of the city council agreed last
night to accept the plant established here by
the Schuyler company. The city agreed to
take 10 arc lights instead OF an option OF III
incandescents. using incandescents only at
the electric works. This will give the city "a
arc lights. Sixty-ive only of these are now in
use. the others being reserved for renting or
further public needs. 1t is probable that five
or six additional lights will be used on King
street, giving an arc at every intersection and,
perhaps, one at the fish wharf. House lighting
will continue to be done with gas. The city
pays for the plant sl4,000 in installments run
ming 70 ten years.
CRY CoUNcus.-The attendance on the
boards at the called meeting of the councils
last night was large and all the conclusions
were unanimous. A new pump was ordered
upon the northwest corner of Pitt and Frank
lin streets, the bridge pump being q source of
water supply to that section of the town having
recently become contaminated Drs. O'Brien
and Ashby, physicians Of the poor, appeared
aud called the attention Of the council TO the
fact that for some months they had done the
work OF four physicians, the other two having
declined to serve, and they asked either less
work or more pay. but the boards took no ac-
ton on the subject Most of the time was spent
in joint session discussing the electric light
with the result noted above.
The MYSTERIOUS DROWNING CAsE--Yesterday

DISCUSSING THE RULES.
Business Session Of the international
American Conference.

On the street everything was sloppy from
the persistent drizzle, which will not stop, but
in the long suite of rooms occupied
by the international American conference as
a meeting place-in the old Wallach mansion
on the corner Of 18th and streets-there was
warmth and gaslight and glitter. The glass
chandeliers cleaned like masses OF diamonds
and the long mirrors reflected the thousands Of
prismatic rays until there was illumination
enough to spare. As early as 10 o'clock there
was a number Of delegates in the conference
rooms, enjoying the cheerful blaze in the open
fire places and chatting over what might or
might not be.
PRESIDENT BLAINE nAPs TO ORDER.
Precisely at IL Secretary Blaine, president Of
the conference, raped on the crimson-covered
table, behind which is his chair, and requested
the crowd before him to come to order. The
ivory-headed gavel did not have to be used q
second time for there was instantaneous stten-
ton.
Dr. Guzman Of Nicaragua and Or. Zegarra
Of Peru were elected temporary secretaries
and then the business Of the day commenced
with the report of the committee on creden-
tials; this was read and adopted without COM
ment because it declared that all those present
were entitled to remain.
THE COMMITTEE on RULES,
however, ran up against an obstruction at once
and lengthy discussion ensued. Some Of the
delegates thought many Of the regulations
were arbitrary and in some instances conflict
ing. Secretary Blaine saw that organ
ization would be very much Grip
MED il the matter was discussed
then SO he suggested that IL was not absolutely
necessary to have the rules agreed upon today.
Acting upon the suggestion, Delegate John B..
Hender son moved that further consideration OF
the report be postponed until Friday, and this
was agreed 10.
In general way the conference continued to
discuss the rules until after 8 O'Clock.
An adjournment u not looked for until
clock.

Overtime Work of Printers.

A correspondent of The STAR states that
TIE Stars report of the action Of the special
meeting of the typographical union Saturday
night, in reference to printers working over
time in the government printing Office, does in
justice to the printers of that Office, il is not
correct that hereafter printers in the govern
ment printing office can work as long as they
choose" The correspondent says Congress
passed a law making eight hours a days work,
but not prohibiting men from working more
hours for extra compensation, nor was over
time work ever stopped il the government
printing Office by Mr.. Benedict. In justice
to all concerned" says the correspondent, II
will state that what they did do last Saturday
evening was the modifying of the resolution
passed last February (and against the passing
of which the writer protested), SO as to allow
members of the union working in the different
branches of the government printing Office
to work overtime in cases Of extreme neces-
sity. granting courtesies to Mr.. Palmer that
were extended to Mr.. Benedict by the presi-
dent Of our union"

TRYING THE NAvAssA RIOTERS.
The Governments Proclamation Set
Up to Prove Jurisdiction.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Nov. 20.-The trial Of the
eighteen Navassa rioters was resumed today
in the United States court
The government offered in evidence the GER
tificates from the state department Of the dis
covery of the Navassa Island by Peter Duncan
in 1856, the proclamation by the State depart
ment and the charter Of the Navassa Guam
company. Walter b. McAtee testified
that he was the receiver Of the
Navassa company. The provisions
sent to the island were OF the same quality for
officers and employees. There was Q store kept
on the island and goods sold to the men on
small profit. Witness was ordered to produce
the list showing profits, etc., which will be done
in a few days.
John W. Pead, shipping master. testified to
the shipping Of the men. Henry UNISON and
James Busley, employees Of the Navassa COM
pany, testified as to the prisoners arriving on
the United States war ship Galena and the brig
Alice and Romance, and identified the men.
