A CHURCH FIRE.

=
 A Bold Attempt Made to Burn the
 Stamford Methodist Episcopal
 Church-The Goodness of Rev. MT.
 Downey Prevents a Panic.
 STAMFORD, Dec. 10.-A bold attempt was made this evening to burn the Mstho- dist Episcopal church, the largest church here, while the evening service was in progress. The pastor of the church, Ray. Mir. Downey, had just begun his sermon, and the last notes of an anthem had died away, when one of the ushers walked up the aisle to the pulpit and interrupted the preacher by requesting him to dismiss the congregation; at the same time he informed Rev. MT. Downey that fire was raging in the basement of the church. Immediately Rev. MT. Downey turned to the organist in the gallery and asked him to proceed with the music, and then requested the conere- gation to leave the church as quietly and orderly as possible. His command was obeyed and the 800 people who were in the church filed out in perfect order.
 The people who occupied seats in the galleries became alarmed when the pastor gave the order to leave the church, and several ladies, who rushed to get out of the church, tainted. Before all the people had left the church the odor of smoke became much stronger and began pouring into the auditorium, and the greatest excitement prevailed among those who remained in the church. The church officials went down into the basement and in paflor in the southwest corner of the building they discovered the fire, which was in pile of carpet mating and old rubbish. An alarm had in the meantime been sent in, and the fremen put out the flames, after work ing several minutes. It was st first supposed that the fire origin ated from the furnace, but William Price, the sexton of the church, passed before the fire broke out, and noticed that the fire in the furnace was quite low. s. R. Ford, the organist, afterwards went into the church to carry out some of the church property and while passing through an anteroom with an armful of books he saw 8 strange man in the room and he was astonished to find another fire in progress in corner of the room. Ford dropped the books and extinguished the flames, but the stranger disappeared.
 An examination was made in the base ment in the evening and 1t was found that the flames had been making great headwsy when dicovered and had already eaten Its way through the floor of the church. The damage done by the fire will amount to about $2, 900. An investigation is to be made to ascertain If possible who started the fire in the church. The coolness of the Rev. MT. Downey undoubtedly prevented panic and saved many lives.

With his late experiences and his we'll attested ability. not to mention his realistic illus trations, it will not be doubted that the orient Is to be revealed as never before. The inquiry which now indicates demand far beyond the capacity of the hall for one hearing, has led the management to arrange for two courses exactly alike, which will take place at the Hyperion as follows Tuesday evenings, January 2, 8, 16, 23, 30i Thursday evenings, January 4, II, IS, 25, February l.

been managing the office of an anarchist periodical.
 Deputy Lemir, who was badly injured by the explosion, was removed from the chamber to his home in the course of the night. His physicians say he is improv- ing, though at intervals he is motionless and speechless. The woman who checked Valliant's arm was badly wounded on the face and neck. Premier Casimir-Perrier, M. Dupuy and others have been over whelmed to-day with congratulatory letters and telegrams. Many telegrams came from foreign countries. It is reported that the French government will appeal to the government of England to refuse dom- icile to anarchists.
 It is now certain that Valiant will re- cover. The attempts of the police to elicit the names of his accomplices were received with the invariable reply:
 Tt is useless to seek accomplices. have none. alone performed the deed and claim the entire responsibility"
 Valliant's bearing is that of man who has accomplished his purpose. He remains quite calm and refers to the outrage as an event to which he Is an entire stranger. He seems to have led a somewhat mysteri ous existence in the room in Rue Laguerre. His lawful wife Is in America, and he has been living in Choissy- -le-Roi with another woman, named Marchal. It is said he is the founder of the Choissy -le-Roi Philo- sophical society.

THOUSANDS OUT OF WORK.

A Vast Army of Unemployed in Chi-

 Become That Committee Has Been
 Appointed to Raise Funds for Their
 Relief.
 CHICAGO, Dec. 10.-It Is estimated that the number of unemployed in this city Is 117,000 and so great has their suffering become that the Illinois conference of char ities and corrections met yesterday and ap- pointed committee of 100 representatives to raise charity fund of $1 1000, 900 for the relief of the worthy and deserving poor. Editor Stead, who was at the meeting, sug- gested that If the ministers and million aires were turned out into the streets for one night their money would be forthcom- ing.
 W. P. Rend, of the citizens committee, asserted that such a calamity had never visited Chicago before. The city's eleva- tors are bursting with supplies, he said, and yet people are starving for the want of food. The sentiment of the meeting seemed strong in favor of getting the city authorities to provide work for as many of the unemployed as possible.
 By actual count 1, ,119 men sought shelter iu city hall Tuesday night and as many more were slowed away on stone floors last night Joseph Jefferson and Stuart Rob- son are arranging to give 8 joint theatrical performance next Friday for the benefit of the unfortunates.

 Dies of His Injuries = Taken to
 Bridgeport Hospital.
 BRIDGEPORT, Dec. 10.-Henry Connolly, colored, aged forty years, died in the gen. eral hospital in this city this afternoon of injuries which indicate that the man was victim of foul play.

Connolly at the time was found ly- ing in 8 woodshed in Milford, and when it was discovered that he was seriously in jured he was sent to the hospital for treat ment.
 His injuries, together with his exposure, rendered his condition critical, and he rapidly grew worse from the time he was received at the hospital until his death this afternoon. It was learned here this even ling that Connolly was in fight in a saloon in Milford about the latter part of Novem- bel, ,and 1t is suspected that he was clubbsd by someone in the saloon and received the injuries which resulted in his death. Coro- ner Mix of Now Haven has been notified and will make an investigation in the case.
