OF the programme said Mr.. Talmage, will

Thieve swere actived uring the fire. The fire
was witnessed by a large crowd OF people
The intense heat of the fire with that of
the MONDAY sun caused several prostrat1ons
in the crowds of on-lookers. The boards of
trustees of the Tabernacle tonight held a
meeting in the house of Dr. Talmage and
decided to rebuild the Tabernacle. The
trustees say that Mr.. Talmage is to start on
his trip around the world as first intended
The statement given out by the trustees is
that from the insurance money and the
money realized from the sale of land they
will pay all debts. They will sell the land
where the fire occurred, move to another
site and buy it at a cost of not more than
$4,000. The Tabernacle was insured for
$13O,0O0.
Russell Sage. who holds first mortgage
for Sl25,0O0 on the Tabernacle, and who is a
creditor for about $4,000 of back interest
in addition to the mortgage, said he would
stand by the church and help them get on
their feet.
The trustees prepared letter to Dr.
Talmage asking him If he would accept the
pastorate of a new Tabernacle if it was
built free from debt. He replied that he
would. A trustee said tonight that Russell
Sage would accept $l25,OO0 in full payment
of all claims

AN ALARM ON A HORN.
How Firemen Were Called to the Blaze
Which Burned Buildings and Stock on a
Bath Farm.
Ispecial to the Press.l

Bath. May 13.-The dwelling house
and farm buildings owned by e.. K. In
gals, on the North Bath road, two miles
from the city, burned to the ground last
night. The blaze started in the barn
shortly after midnight, and spread SO
rapidly that the family, when awakened,
could do nothing to save the stock or
farming tools, and were only able to
rescue few OF their household goods.
The blowing of a horn by Mr.. Ingalls's
son was plainly heard in this city, and
the police pulled in an alarm. The de-
partment went part of the way to the
fire, and then returned, as there was no
water availale for fire USE Mr.. Ingalls's
loss will be over $4,000, with only small
insurance He lost 12 valuable cows and
three horses, which seriously cripples
him, as he had one of the largest milk
routes in the vicinity. Not even slan-
tern had been taken into the barn for ov-
er week, SO the fire was probably
the work Of tramps
At noon today the department were
again called out to extinguish e blaze
at the electric light station. Sawdust
from Shaw's mill Is used for fuel, and a
shed containing it had caught fire. 1t
was extinguished with slight loss.

GREAsING THE WHEELS.
Mr.. Hale Wants to Know About the
Tariff bill.

Mr.. Hale Wants to Know About the
Tariff bill.
Washington, May 12-During the debate
on the tariff bill today, Mr.. Hale, Republi-
can of Maine, suggested that if a time was
to be fixed for final vote the majority
should at least let the Senate know what
bill it was that was to be debated and voted
on. 1t had been intimated, Mr.. Hale said,
and from sources not Republican, but from
high priests in the school of modern Democ-
racy, free trade and tariff for revenue, that
the only object of the last series of amend
ments was, as he had said the other day, to
grease the wheels of the bill and get it
through the Senate. Was that what the
Senator from Tennessee meant wen the
asked that a day be fixed for a final vote?
Was it his idea that, having creased the
wheels so that the bill would slide through,
it, would then be thrown into conference
committee, with the tremendous powers
which such body has, and would come out,
practically, as the old Wilson bill? Was
that what the Senator meant? Senators
might as well have few plain words about
| that.
There was no disposition on the Republi-
can side, Mr.. Hale declared, to debate the
| bill unduly, or to filibuster. But if the last
bill (the Jones amendments) which gave up,
apparently, Democratic ground in hundreds
of instances, had been reported for the pur-
| pose of getting it through the Senate, and
| if it was the intention then to senu it to a
| conference committee and to give away all
which the Democratic party in any apparent
| spirit of pentinence had agreed to- he noti-
| fed Senators that the bill could not go
| through. He notified Democratic Senators
| that they would find on the Republican side
| of the chamber spirit very different from
/ that which prevailed there now
"You may have power" Mr.. Hale con-
| tinued, latter legitimate debate. to crowd
| this bill through, and to take your risks with
| the country, but if by any device, any par
| liamentary trick, the conutry is to be al
last confronted with the old Wilson bill,
notify you that no bill of that sort will be
permitted to go through. The minority will
find way to prevent it,"
