Store on Newark Avenue.
A fire, followed by very peculiar ex-
plosion, occurred this morning at No. 205
Newark avenue. The FIRST floor is
occupied by p, H. Hanley furniture
dealer. A shaft, originally designed as an
air shaft, but which is now used by the
occupants of three floors above the furni-
ture store, as closets, runs from the base
ment to the roof.
The fire was confined to this shaft, but
the hot air therein confined caused an ex-
ploston that loosened the bricks of the
four corners of the building near
the roof. and sent some of
them flying in different directions
Mr.. HanJey, while looking at the smoke
issuing from the apartments above his
store, met with a very narrow escape
from falling bricks. The tin roof also
blistered.
J. J. Vanderbeck, the owner of the
building. says the shaft was originally
designed IS d dumb waiter. The fire is
supposed to have started in the air shaft
on the second floor. Mrs. Lizzie Scott
occupies the apartments on this floor.
This morning she left four of her
eight children in care of an
other woman. In the 1mprovjsed
closet she had stored new
carpet. the boards of an extension table,
and lot of old clothes. Mrs. Mary

The Rev. Mr.. Battin's Splendid Gift To
Greenville-Opening Services.
The opening service of the new Pro-
testant Episcopal Church at Arlington
and Claremont avenues took place last
evening. Notwithstanding the furious
rain storm that ragged without, q large
congregation assembled. The interior of
the magnificent ediflce was brilliantly
illuminated,
The marble altar was prettily decorated
with flowers, arranged by the deft fingers
of Mrs. Robertson. x surpliced choir OF
men and boys'under the direction OF the
Rev. Marcus Grice materially frightened
the interest of the opening service. The
choir was assisted by number of ladies
and girls. who occupied front pews.

esque pile OF brick and stone with beauti-
full interior decorations. 1t was fully
described in THE JERSEY CITY NEWS
church column some weeks ago. 1t is the
gift of the Rev. Stephen H. Battin, In
memory of his wife and daughter,
Minnie.
While last nights service was one Of
the greatest events in the life OF the
donor, by special request his name was
1n1requently mentioned. but it was dlf-
ficult for the Rev. William Kirhus, who
preached the sermon to avoid allusfon to
his laudable efforts. Mr.. Battin is the
rector emeritus Prior to the services, he
offered prayer iu the choir room for the
boys and men of the choir Rector j. G.
Helntell read the evening prayer and the
rector emeritus read the Scriptural les
sou. Then Rector HeintelI presented to
Bishop StarkeY class of thirty people
who desired confirmation. Bishop
Starkey addressed the candidates after
the rite Of confirmation had been admin
istered.
Among the visiting clergymen was
the Rev. Mr.. Chapman of Grace p. E.
Church, Greenville. After the interest
ing service was over q large portion of
the congregation remained, and the
church echoed with heartfelt gratitude to
Mr. Battin for his magnificent gift-re-
garded as blessing to both the present
and unborn generations.
The auditorium has one hundred and
sixteen pews. and will seat between 600
and 800 people.
