as result OF gro negligence.
This Is the record Chicago had
to face the morning after the storm.
Sweeping down from the north across
the lake with terrific force, the hurri-
cane hurled itself upon Chicago, de-
stroying life and strewing the shore
with wrecks. Ten men met death in
the lake and nine lumber schooners
went down in the Path of the storm.
From daybreak TO nightfall there was
nothing but death and disaster, mis-
cry and suffering.

a capful of wind, the storm increased
in strength and finally swept with all

with wreckage. Twelve fishermen
were rescued by volunteer life-sav-

The same crew rescued seven PERSONS
from the DumDOaJ at Jne nOrJn pier.
Tugs assisted in snatching sailors from
sinking vessels. Others were dragged
ashore as they floated in on spars or in
the shattered hulks of their own YES

ten were saved.
With the lee shore so near, there was
little chance for the vessels caught in
the storm to run before the wind. The
only thing they could do was to reach
the port for shelter. Many vessels

ried the blazing cinders in such quantities
in a southeasterly direction that dwelling
houses on Washington avenue, two squares
away, and also the Summerfield Methodist
Church, were set on fire by them, but the

Mrs. TaImage's story.
Mrs. Talmage tells the following story Of
the fire:
The doctor was still in the pulpit. shak-
ing hands with the people, of whom there
were nearly a hundred probably left. His
back was to the organ. 1 was standing up
at the end of the pew talking with Mr.
Martin Of Chicago, who wanted to see the
doctor with messages from loved friends
in that city. / looked up toward the CELL
ing and saw tongue of flame burst out
between the pipes Of the organ. / at once
called aloud:
Doctor, the church is on fire.
He turned and told all the people to re-
tire, while he went into the study to get a
few things. i waited for him at the door,
The flames spread very rapidly. so quickly
that some of the trustees were overcome
and had to be helped out. The doctor Join
ed me soon after, and we went down to
Lafayette avenue to a friends, where we
remained until We could hear that friends
in the Regent were out of danger and what
prospect there was Of saving any Of the
church"
The doctor himself held quite a reception
at his house No. / South Oxford street
during the afternoon, SO great was the
stream of sympa thizers who called among
them Rev. DR.. Teunis s. Hamlin of this
city, who occupied the pulpit OF the First
Presbyterian Church in the morning. He
had preached the dedication sermon of the
building then burning some three years
ago, and when he grasped the hand Of DR.
Talmage he said: Doctor, you have my
deepest sympathy. but you should not be
so fiery"
The two men clasped hands for a mo-
ment, and then DIR. Talmage replied: 1T
Is blessing that only the building is gone;
the work will continue and We can all thank
God that no life or limb is injured"
Electric Wires Crossed.
When asked for his own opinion as to the
cause of the fire. he said, emphatically:
Electric lights: electricity caused this fire.
as it did that of the last Tabernacle, on
Schermerhorn street"
The fire was the most destructive rapid
and furious that has visited Brooklyn for
years. 1t started shortly after noon when,
fortunately. all but 100 of the 1000 morn
ing worshipers at the Tabernacle had de-
parted, and at a time when the guests at
the big hotel were somewhat prepared for
such an emergency. 1t spread with light
ning-like rapidity, and before sunset had
disappeared property to the value Of nearly
$2.OOO.OOO was destroyed.
In three hours only the bare walls Of one
of the costliest structures Of Brooklyn re-
