IL Was Seriously Damaged by Fire This
Morning.
This morning about $50 O'Clock fire was dis
covered in Love and Charity Temple, a large
brick building on Is street southwest facing the
Capitol grounds, and an alarm sounded on the
bells brought out several companies of the fire
department. When the iremen reached the
building the black smoke was SO dense that it
was impossible for them to enter, and they had
to fight the flames from the outside as best they
could.
In order to get the smoke from the building
the firemen found it necessary TO cut two holes
in the roof. and then they we're able to en-
ter the building
The fire all between the ceiling and the
roof and Chief Paris thought it had been burn
ing all night. During the encampment num-
Der Of GAR. men had accommodations In the
building. and the mattresses stored In the
building were responsible for the dense smoke,
which retarded the work Of the fremen.
BY hard work the iremen succeeded in keep
ing the flames in the part Of the building where
they Gtarted although considerable damage
was done BY water.
The building il owned by the Love and Char
ity Societies and the upper floor was occupied
by the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows
All Of their regalia--about $500 worth-that
was in the hall was destroyed.
The damage to the building Ia estimated at
about 81 600, which is fully covered by insur-
ance.
The origin Of the fire Is unknown. though it
is suspected to have been the work of an incen-
diary There was no fire i'm the furnace last
night, nor has there been any fire there since
last week to amount to anything. Then the
members of the @. A. II. Quartered in the

GEORGETOwN.


REV. DIR. FULLERTON SUSTAINED.
One hundred and fo-ty-oae members of the
congregation Of the West Street Presbyterian
Church assembled last evening in pursuance to
a request of the Rev. DR.. Fullerton to act upon
the resignation of that gentleman. Ever since
the pastor left the church to take well-earned
vacation in Europe and the taking charge of it
BY Rev. Frank f. Williams. an eloquent young
divine, two factions have existed. When the
pastors vacation expired, on the LIST of last
June, many OF the younger members OF the
congregation desired that the temporary pastor
should remain, as during his year Of service he
had proven himself not only to be an active,
psinstaking pastor, but an eloquent preacher.
large part OF the congregation, however,
while acknowledging the young mans ability,
were not willing that their old aud much
beloved pastor should resign. The discussion
at las; reached the cars Of Mr.. Fullerton, and
Inst evening. in a speech that touched the hearts
OF his hearers more than eloquent words could
have done. he asked the congregation to unite
with him in asking the presbytery to sever the
pastoral relation existing between himself and
the West Street Presbyterian Church. On the
CONCLUSION Of his speech the doctor left, the
vote then being taken on the question, IL were
found to be in favor Of the retention of DR..
Fullerton and &c for the calling of DR.. Williams.
Should the doctor insist on the acceptance Of
his resignation, Messrs. Geo. Aud and W. W.
Winship will appear before the presbytery and
request that he be detained.
