the cedar with which the church had
been decorated on Christmas took
fire which spread 10 the evergreen

fire was caused by a gas jet near the
decoration. The church vas well
filed with ladies and gentlemen and
the rector was Just reading the gee,
ond lesson when the accident oc.
Cured. The flames spread rapidly
to the carpet and wood. work. The
cAurch was flied with smoke and
everybody was forced TO hurridiy
leave the church building. While
the congregation was very much
frightened, there vas no panic or I'm.
due excitement. The damage done
amounted 10 about two hundred
dollars.

The Insane Incendiary-York Mills Start
Up-Other Matters.

Biddeford, November 6.-The York
County Agricultural Society has voted
to hold theahext county fair on August
30, 81 and September and 2, 1884.
Richard Schofeld, who set fire to a
Saco paint shop Saturday, was arraigned
in the Saco court this afternoon, but re-
fused to plead. The hearing was contin-
ued till Thursday. He is undoubtedly
insane.
The York mills, Saco, after three
months of idleness, started today on
two-uhirds time and 10 per cent reduc-
ton. There is a full crew in nearly ev-
cry department and many extra appli-
cants for work.
The Saco city government tonight voted
to renew the contract with the York
Light and Heat Company for five years
at $71 per light. Thescity solicitor was
authorized to dismiss proceedings
against the decision of the county COM
missioners in the York tax matter and
the treasurer authorized to remit to the
company $3.50, the amount of the tax re-
bate ordered by the commits sioners.

A DIVER AMONG THE DEAD.
The Bottom Of santander Harbor Covered
With Corpses.

Madrid, November 6. Fernandez SAM
captain of the steamship Cabo Machico,
blown up at Santander, Friday, arrived
at San Sebastian today. He says the ex-
plosion sent the steamers engines fifty
yards into the air. Sixty-fve houses
were wrecked from roof to cellar by the
shock. Divers have been busy since yes
terday noon examining the harbor's bot
tom near the qauy where the explosion.
occurred. They found piles of mangled
bodies among the ruins of the sunken
vessels. In one pile the remnants of
fifteen bodies were found and in another
the severed limbs and trunks of twenty
five more. The work of collecting the
bodies proceeds slowly, Captain Sanz
says, because the bodies under the water
can.be extricated only with the greatest
difficulty from the wreckage in which
they have been wedged and half ssburied.
The military are clearing away the ruins
on land. The suffering among the people
OF Santander is extreme. The shops did
not begin opening until this afternoon; !;
the bakers have made no bread, and the
markets are empty. The minister of
finance is experimenting the work of

THEY GAVE IT UP.
Chieago's Democratic Aldermen Not
50 Eager to Fight.
AN UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER
TO THE REPUBLICANS.

Swift Finally Chosen Mayor Pro Tenn
Beyond a Doubt-The Republicans Re-
fused to Attend the Special Meeting
and Made a Fortress of Committee
Room-The Sergeant-atArms Couldn't
Get Them Out-Police Were Ready at
City Hall, but Had Nothing to Do.
Chicago, November 6.-The Republi-
can aldermen went into caucus at Repub-
lican headquarters at the Title and Trust
Building at 10 today. All the Republi-
can members of the council were pres
ent. Ex-Corporation Counsel Miller pre-
sented to the caucus his opinion that
Mr.. Swift was legally elected mayor of
the city at the council meeting Saturday,
and he could take his seat as such. 1t
was resolved to remain away from the II
o'clock meeting, but to attend the regu-
lar council meeting this evening, when
Mr.. Swift would present his bond for ap-
proyal by the council and would take his
place as mayor To prevent the SER
geant-at-arms from compelling them to
attend the p. m. meeting, the Republi-
cans put their rooms in state of siege,
and allowed none of their number to
leave the rooms.
The fareical special meeting of the
council was called to order at 5 O'clock
Thirty Democratic aldermen were pres
ent. The Republicans remained at their
headquarters. A formidable array of
police was outside the chamber. After
the roll-call, Chairman McGillen called
on Sergeant-at-Arms Powell for his re-
port on the result of his efforts to bring
in the Republican absentees. Mr.. Pow
ell explained that his failure was due to
the fact that he was denied admission to
the Republican headquarters on the
ground that it was a private committee
room. After some irrelevant remarks,
the special meeting adjourned.
The Democratic minority of the coun-
Gil surrendered unconditionally to their
opponents just before the opening of the
regular meeting this evening. Over
lures for peace were made by steering
committee from the Democrats. The IS
aldermen were present at the meeting.
On motion of Alderman Kent, the coun-
Gil proceeded to take new ballot for
acting mayor. The first ballot stood,
George B. Swift so, John McGilen 10.
This vote was declared void because an
extra ballot was cast Mr.. McGillen,
who acted as chairman, urged that the
second ballot be unanimous for his oppo-
nent. The second ballot resulted, Swift
62, McGillen 5, blank /. Mr.. Swift was
declared elected mayor pro tenn, and
made brief address. The council then
adjourned. :

lease of the prisoners and declare all the
indictments null and void.
