FURNITURE AND FIXTrRES.
FIREMEy SAY THEY WERE PROMPT.

Complaints were made Of delay on the part Of
the firemen In responding to the alarms, but Fire
Commissioner Wurster and Chief Dale say that
they are unfounded and that the delay was In
sending in the alarms. Blu. there was a lack Of
water after the engines got to work. and much
valuable time was los, because the engines had
to be coupled together to throw streams where
they would be OF any value. Water Pufveyor
Milne said that seven-story buildings were not
contemplated I'm Clinton-ave when the water
mains were laid there thirty-five years ago.
There was need OF more mains and more hy-
drants
Fire Commissioner Wurster has begun an in
qu!ry regarding the fire. He found that the first
alarm was received at IL "a. which was some
time after the fire broke out. as II is said to
have started at 1918. The church mass OF
flames when the fremen got there. All that was
possible done 10 save the hotel. and the
other property protected far possible.
Water towers would have been useless. as there
not enough water 10 use the hose on the exten-
sion ladders. Chief Dale said that the great de-
struction caused by the fire was due to delay in
sending In the alarm and To the lack or water
pressure. Hose was run UP in the hotel but tho
heat was great that the firemen were driven
out and two OF them were pros1rated.
In regard to the burned structures. Buildings
Commissioner Bush said that the Tabernac.e had
a substantial exterior, but nmsy interior.
There was much papier mache. and the decora-
tons were exceedingly nfammable. The hotel
was not fire trap, but under the new ouiiding
laws such building could not be constructed
NO DEFINITE KNOWLEDGE or THE CAUSE.
No new light thrown upon the cause or
the fire yesterday. Assistant Fire Marshal Rice
said that ii appeared to have started In the
organ. but whittier from the electric light wires
or some other cause he could not tell.
Ira D. Sankey. the evangelist and singer. who
was at the church. said he saw a man In the
organ loft who c-awled down while he was
looking 1t was thought that this was Sexton

The ruins OF the church and hotel were mace

Talmages pastorate and those of the Hotel
Regent adjoining were the centre Of interest to
thousands OF spectators yesterday. The prob
ability OF the rebuilding of the church was the
theme Of greatest interest and aroused most
discussion One Of the first callers at the house
of DR.. Tamage was j. S. T. Stranahan, and he
offered to give 81, 900 toward the building fund.
st. Clair McKelway, of The Brooklyn Eagle"
offered to be responsible for $4,000. No other
subscriptions reported. DR.. Tamage de-
clared that there must be s2sO,OOO in a bank be-
fore work begun on a new church. or he
would not consent to remain pastor He
started last night for Philadelphia, beginning
his projected trip around the world which will
take six months. He will lecture In various
cities in crossing the continent. and in company
with his son he will sail from San Francisco on
May 30 going to Honolulu.
He said yesterday he regarded his pastorate
work as done but he did not intend to give up
preaching. He proposes to remain resident OF
Brooklyn and will probably preach in the Acad-
emy Of Music or the Rink in Brooklyn, and In
the Madison Square Garden or the Academy OF
Music in this city after his return. as he did In
1890 after his return from the Holy Land, while
the new Tabernacle was building. There seemed
little likelihood from the expressions OF opinion
yesterday that the church would be rebuilt. DR..
Talmage said yesterday: THE fire has consumed
resources, but it has also supplied means to dis
charge debts All the indebtedness must be
paid and there must be s2So,O00 secured before
