Horace Greeley Knowles and the
Rest Having n Good fine in Paris.
PARIS, Aug. ., = Undoubtedly the
American oonsuls wh1 are here In CON-
vention at tue Ipense of the government
are having good time. But the reason
of their being here does not seem APP
parent. They are all living at swell
hotels at the expense OF the American tax-
payers, getting good dinners with Minis
ter Reid aud others, attending the theatres
in body and literally patronizing the
concert gardens. The oHtensible reason
OF the conference is to discuss the best
means OF making this customs law work
smoothly. The real object il to see how
much money the c0nsuls can squeeze out
OF their Offices. Since Blaine was score
tary, before the profits OF the foreign
consulships were much decreased under
Democratic management. the politicians
who came here under Harris IN expecting
to 90 n fortunes were badly disappointed.
Blaine allows several petty extortions
from shippers that Bsyard sqCelched, but
still the consuls are not satisfied.
Every precsution is taken to keep the
discussions Of the conference from the
papers until the proceedings are reported
at Washington. still the oonsuls are
having q good time here, while Uncle
Sam pays the piper.

Hanover Presbyterian church Eu-
tered Last Night and lkuthIessiy
DespolIcd.
Some person or persons forced an
entrance Friday into Hanover Presby.
terrain Church, Sixth and King streets,
and perpetrsted the most shameful
vandalism in the destruction of church
property. Market people were the first
to take notice that one OF the basement
windows on Sixth street was open. No
body being around early this morning
the fact WAS reported to Harry Rumford,
teller of the Central Bank, who is choir
leader of Hanover Church.
Mr. Rumford with other members of
the church hurried to the place. They
entered by the basement and found con-
siderable disorder there, books and other
articles were found scattered upon the
carpets. On reaching the mali, church
auditorium, however, q full IDEA of the
dissertation committed last night revealed
itself. Almost every gRg lamp up stairs
ives smashed. Books, globes and other
articles had been hurled down from the
gallery to the floor beneath. The hymn
books and Bibles in every pew had been
sedulously taken from their receptacles
and dashed around covering the seats
and floors. The main aisle was
covered with minute fragments of
glass, the glass globes and pitchers
having been trodden into the carpet ap-
parently with the most vicious intent Of
destruction Of property. An attempt had
been made to burst the organ lock open
but toftunatel was unsuccessful. In
front Of the altar rails, however, the van.
dalism showed worst. The light reading
stand was smashed, the big Bible thrown
around; orookery and glass particles,
with book leaves, covered the carpet.
The collection boxes were smashed up.
Elsewhere the large clook In front of the
choir gallery WAS broken, the pendulum
taken ont aud the face broken. In one
Of the aIte-rooms the Sunday and
other church property was broken aud
mixed up in inextricahle confusion. A
valuable magic lantern and slides were

William Rush's stable and Car.
riage EH0use burned TO ihe Ground
The handsome frame stable and car.
riage house at the suburban residence o.
William Bush, president OF the Equitable
Guarantee al d Trust Company and head
OF the morocco firm OF William Bush Il
Co., ct Clayton and Beech streets, was
burned ito the ground last Friday. The
origin OF the fire is not known. Mr..
Bush thinks that it was fred by an incen-
! diary.
at $50 o'clock Friday morning, Mt.
Bush's coachmRn came in to town to
market and about 10 minutes after he
left Mr.. Bush discovered smoke and
flames coming from the south. east rner
Of the stable. Efforts were made to ex-
tinguish the fire, but it gained hesdway
fast and messenger was sent to Front
and Sesrles street, where an alarm Of fire
was sont in from box "a at 7.02 O'Clock.
When the engines arrived the stable
was burning briskly and could not be
saved. Considerable time was lost In
getting water, and but one engine got to
work. Nothing could be done with the
burning stable, so attention was turned
to the outbuildings, and good work was
done in saving them.
Previous to the arrival of the engines,
the efforts Of MIR. Bush and his ASSISTANTS
were directed towards saving the contents
of the stable. Everything was saved
from the first floor, which contained all
that was OF value. Two horses, four
carriages, several sets of harness. blank
ets, robes, &c., were safely gotten out.
The loft contained less than ton of hay
and part of a load of straw.
The barn was burned entirely to the
ground and is total loss. II was built
in 1870 at q coat "a coo. There was an
insurance Of SO, 900 on it, $500 OF which
was on the horses aud $500 on the car
riages. Ihere was no loss on either.
There has been NO fire or lights about the
stable for several months, and none of
MIR. Bush'smen smoke, consequently the
belief that the incendiary's torch set the
building Rblaze.
The fire started in the cupola or loft
and gave time to save everything below.
The Fame was the only engine that
threw any water. There is only four
inch water main mp Clayton street and
three or four fire plugs are connected |
with it. The Fame engine was ths ne r
est to Lancaster avenue, consequently ii |
took all OF the water from the main and |
none resohed the other engines. The
small main did not supply water to the
Fame engine fast enough to do E1uch
good. II there had been sufficient water
the stable could have been saved.
This test demonstrates the danger that
The several large residences On Clayton
street would be in should FIRE break /
out. Bnt one engine would DO able to go
into service. The companies who re-
sponded to this mornings fire complain
IF the terrible condition Of the hill on
Lancaster avenue.
