Assuiling GOV. Northrn.
DALLAS, Tex. May 1.-THE Baptist
convention spent the entire morning in
reading the report ON foreign missions,
voluminous document, the end of
which was not reached until the mid
die of the afternoon. II contains
mass of figures, showing the financial
transactions of the body for the year.
The condition of this auxiliary of the
church is said TO be iirst-class.
Much III feeling has been aroused be-
tween what is known Us the Northcn
and CranHll wings of the convention
because Of the sermons preached last
night by DR.. Fulton, Of New York, and
Rev. Cranfll, of Texas, both directly
assailing Gov. Northen for appointing
Patrick Walsh TO the United States
senate.
Fulton announced that he was an A.
y. A. man and in full sympathy with
its anti-CHtholic attitude. Cranfll de-
clarcd that he would not vote for u
Catholic for any office under any con-
sideration and he had no confidence in
a man who would vote for one or aid
one In getting into office. This thrust
Is considered as being so plainly in
| tended for Gov. Northen that II is eX-
pccted he win reply TO II.
At the night session of the Baptist
convention the reports Of the sub-com-
mittces ON the foreign mission board
reports were adopted and about $4,000
raised for the board. The convention
adjourns finally to-day.

ANrr-BREcKINRlDeE MEETING.

The 1.exiAgton Opera House Crowded with
Men and Women Opposed To Ills Kenomi-
nation.
LEXINGTON, KY, May l5.-The best
people of Lexington and Fayette conn
ties including several hundred ladies,
turned out yesterday To the anti-lirccls-
inridge meeting at the opera house.
There were no hoodlums present and
the meeting, from standpoint
of morality, was tremendous
success. The opera house was filled
and 500 people were turned away.
Prof j. W. McGarvcy, an eminent min
lister of the Christian church, was the
first speaker, and he showed Col. Brecls'
inridge up in no favorable light lie
held that IL would be n disgrace 20 the
district. To the state and TO the country
to return such n man 10 congress, ana
closed his speech by strong appeal 10
the young men 10 vote against him.
The other speaker was Judge VI. j.
Durham, who denied Col Breckenridge
was the only man In the district who
could represent the district in congress
The speeches were both well received
and made good impression.
Resolutions were adopted denounc-
ing lirccl,inridgc's morals and calling
ON the good people Of the district TO
rise up in their might and vote ngainst
the silver-tongucd pcrsundcr' But
when Harry G. Clay rot up and offered
u resolution not only dcnouncing
Breclsinridgc's morals, but asking
that senator j. c. 5. blackburn
be asked TO obtain leave Of abnence
from the senate, and that he come
home and from the rostrum speak
against Breckenridge, the audience
went wild. The cheering was dcafen-
ing, and it was plain 10 any observer
that the breckenridge boom, started by
the silvcr-tongucd orator himself lit
tie more than week ago, was badly
strained n not broken.

BRooKLYN, May 13.-Just after serv-
ice at noon yesterday, and while DIR.
Talmage was shaking hands with mem
bers OF his congregation, fire burst out
between the pipes OF the organ and
within ten minutes the big tabernacle
was doomed TO total destruction. Adj
joining the church was the Hotel Re-
gent, eight stories in height
The fire spread from the taber-
nacle TO this hotel and then TO

The doctor held quite reception at
his home during the afternoon. Dr.
Talmage made graphic statement OF
the incidents connected with the fire

stood, when she called my attention TO

organ. | saw at once that II was
under full Roadway and my first inn
pulse was TO look around and see how
many people were then In church and
TO my great Joy there were only about
twenty and with twenty-five doors to

escape"
When asked for his own opinion as
TO the cause Of the fire, he said emphat'
/ ically:
Electric lights Electricity caused
this fire, as IL did In the last tabernacle
on Schermerhorn street"
The fire spread with lightning-lilke
rapidity and before sunset had de-
stroyed property TO the value of nearly
$1,000, 600.
The furniture in the Hotel Regent,
which cost from 100000 to $3.50, 900, is

The trustees of the tabernacle met
last night and decided TO rebuild tho
church, but not on the same site. Tho
insurance, the receipts and the money
realized from the sale of the present
site, would enable them TO pay off all
their debts. Then, according 10 the
plan, they would raise 600, 600, and
within n year would begin to build.
About $4,000 II was thought, would
be sufficient to pay for site and u
less expensive building would be
erected.
II was decided that DR. Tnlmnge's
trip around the world should begin to-

were burned so that the skin peeled of
their faces and hands, and the hair
was singed off their heads and faces,
OF the many others who arc slightly
burned there is no record, and the total
number of those burned and injured In
the stampede will probably reach 100
persons With all the suffering thii
fire will cause, the property loss will
/ not exceed IS, 900.
