Flames discovered In the BuiIdinG After
MIdnIEht-The Church Gutted.


Tho Protestant Episcopal Church Of st.
Timothy at 3S2 West Flity-seventh street, be-
tween Eight and Ninth avenues was destroyed
by fire shortly after midnight. The Rev. Henry
Lubbock is pastor. Policemen Cossell first saw
flames coming from the window Of the west
end Of the church. which Is q small brick
structure with gable roof and was erected
when there were only n few residents living In
Yorkville. The church grounds run through
from Fifty-sixth to Fifty.sevonth street, and
the building stands parallel with Fifty.sixth
street. 1t has an entrance on Fifty-seventh
street
Tho Palisades flats, seven stories high, and
occupied by fourteen families. are not more
than ten feet east OF the church. The windows
Of the fiat are within easy reach Of the church.
The fire broke out in the east end OF the
building. 1t was probably caused by an over
heated flue It quickly extended to the other
end, and burst out against the wall
Of the fiat The occupants. who were
asleep at the time. ran down into the
street. Some Of them who were cooler re-
NAMED in their rooms and watched the FIRE
from the windows The flremen played upon
the flames from the fiat windows and from a
vacant lot near by.
The church was entirely destoyed. II was
valued at $4,000 and the loss is covered by
insurance.
There was service In the church In the even-
ing. and when the sexton. BENJAMIN MoKeever.
left the building at 10 o'clock 1t was In perfect
order. He left small fire banked in the fur
mace The fire evidently came from defect in
the flue.
The church was built twenty years ago and
1t was planned to use It as an adjunct to q
main building that Is to face on Fifty-seventh
street and fill the seventy-flve feet Of open
ground there. This plan was about to be car
rfed ont.

A RIOT In THE GRAVEYARD.
REAEAREABLE DoINGS OF A FACTION
IN TIM POLISH CHURCH.

Thoy DIg UP the Conins ContaininE the
Bodies OF Two Children, Drive Their
Picks Through Them, and Throw the
Conns Over the Fence Into the Highway.
WIIKEsBARRE, Jan. 22-Plymouth is in =
state of commotion this evening. This morn-
ing the two Lithuanian children were buried
in the Polish cemetery, and late this afternoon
the cemetery was invaded by mob OF furious
Polanders, headed by Martin wilkes. and
armed with shotRuns. They tore open the
graves. dragged out the collins, drove their
picks and drills through them, and throw thom
over tho fence out OF the cemetery.
When Martin Wilkes was sent to jail yester-
day BIZ Alderman Rooney. In default Of $4,000
ball, together with several other active spirits
among the law-defyinR Polish faction, It was
believed that there would be no further vio-
lence This morning, however. Martin wilkes
obtained o writ OF habeas corpus, on which
hearing was given him before Judge Wood
ward. The bail was reduced to $1,000. which was
promptly furnished and Wilkes was set at
liberty. He left the Court House, and then ex-
pressed the intention OF dislnterrinR the bodies
and throwing them out Of the cemetery. The
Hon. W. II. Hines, who is the lawyer for the
Lithuanian faction, obtained an Injunction
from the Court restraining Wilkes from med-
ding with the bodies and served II on him be-
fore he left this city to return to Plymouth.
wilkes did not get down to Plymouth until
O'Clock In the afternoon but the instant he ar.
rived there he gathered mob OF the Polish
faction together. By his direction all who had
arms got them, and nearly every one In tho
crowd was armed with a pistol. shotgun, or
rife. They started at about 4 o'clock for the
Polish cemetery. which is at the end Of the
town.
The gates had been broken open by the LII
thuanians in the morning. when they buried the
children, and when the Poanders reached
there the place was deserted. They instantly
went to work to dislnter the bodies. They had
brought along picks and shovels and 1t was
the work OF but few minutes for them to
throw out tho freshly laid earth and expose
the two collins.
1t is said that in their rage they drove their
picks through the collins and the bodies they
held. The collins were then dragged out Of the
open graves, carried to the fence, and thrown
over it into the public highway
AS soon as the news OF the deed came to tho
Lithunians they sent up O committee Of their
number to this city to wait upon,M Hines and
sec what could be done.

BARNWE11 NEGROES TO EM1anAzE.
They Decide to Leave the seeno OF the Re-
cent Wholesale LynchInEs.


CHARLESTON, Jan. %. - The negroes of
Barnwell county. the scene Of the recent lynch
ings. had meeting Yesterday and decided to
emiRrate. The meeting was peculiar in several
respects. Ex-Gov Hagood was invited to ad-
dress the meeting. and he did so. Resolutions
to the effect that it is expedient for the colore1
people Of Barnwell to emigrate to other States.
or other parts Of this State, or anywhere where
life would be safer than they regard 1t now In
Barnwell. were offered.
Gov. HaRood. who has the unshaken conf
dence Of the negroes. advised them not to act
hastily. He was asked whether in future he
would guarantee their safety. He replied that
he could not, but, judging the future by the
past, he thought that the races could get on
well together. He said that the lynchIngs
were the first in the history Of the county. and
that tho general record Of the past ought to be
the best guarantee for the future. No good
white man could or would justify the lynchings
that had occurred. and no rood white man
could possibly have had hand In them.
The negroes will probably emiRrate. The
streets and byways OF the village are crowded
with the emigrants and their sympataizers
and are piled with their effects. II is probable
that several thousand negroes Will leave the
county within the next ton days. Tho emil
grants are mostly destined for Arkansas and
Mississippi The white men seem indifIerent

improbable that 10000. negroes will emigrate

suppresslnr tho French Language.

OTTAWA, Jan. 29.-Dalton Mccarthy intro
duced his bill in Parliament to-day to repeal
the act authorizing the use Of the French lam
Guage in the Northwest Territories. The de-
bate on the bill Is certain to stir up very
bitter feeling in Parliament between the two
elements. In introducing his bill MCCARTHY
said there would be but one language in Can
ada to-day II the French language had not been
perpetuated in tho Province Of Quebec when
the French population numbered 10000, at the
time of the conquest. To the term conquest
the French Canadian members objected. as
Quebec had not been conquered. but had been
ceded by France to England by the treaty Of
1763. This is very tender point with French
Canadians generally Continuing. Mccarthy
said that the movement in Canada In the d.
rection Of annexation with the United States
was one Of the results Of perpetuatinR the
French Canadian language. and the only solu-
ton OF this difficulty was to absorb the French
Canadians In the great American federation.

RoNDoUT, Jan. 22.-The cold wave which
made It's appearance along the upper Hudson
valley to-day was welcome one Thousands
Of men and boys. who have anxiously waited
the coming OF cold weather in anticipation of
harvesting the ice crop, wear smiling counte-
nances. This morning the river from this point
north was covered with thin Ice. which has
been floating with the tide all day. A strong
northwest wind prevailed this afternoon. and
forced the ice to the east shore. A week or ten
days continuous cold weather would. in all
probability,I Icloso the river from this point
north to Albany. Local dealers, who rely upon
inland ponds and creeks for their supply, now
consider that they have fair prospect OF cut
ting ice. Dispatches from various points in
the CRtskills to-day say that at Stamford ice
on the ponds averages from four to six inches;
at KRaterskill Lake five inches and at Stony
Hollow and West Hurley three inches. Specu-
lators are visiting ponds along the line Of The
Ulster and Delaware Railroad with the view OF
securing the privilege OF cutting ice as soon as
II attains fair thickness. Representatives OF
leading ice companies are also considering the
advisability OF making offers for ioe on interior
streams. The extra cost in getting II 70 tide
water is the main obstacle. Tonight there ID
considerable floating ioe In the river as far
south as PouRhke eepsi0, and indications Tor the
