TIL TABERNACLE FIRE.
DIR. Talnage VIII Soil for Europe
Today as Planned.

49,
BROOKLYN. MAY IA, 1S94.-Fire Commits
sioner Wurster said today that the fact
seemed to be settled that Yesterdays fire.
which destroyed the Tabernacle n the
Hotel Regent and two blocks Of dwellings,,
was started by the contact between the or
gan stop pulled by 0rganist Brown and a
lady insulated electric power wire inside
the organ.
The Commissioner is investigating charges
of inefiiciency against the Fire Department.
Many citizens claim that the firemen did not
arrive until twenty-five minutes after the
first alarm was given. 1t is also alleged that
after arriving, they devoted themselves to
the Tabernacle, which could not possibly be
saved, and ignored the earnest requests of
the property owners in the vicinity to save
adjoining buildings.
The firemen claim that they were on the
ground promptly, and that their efforts
were hampered by an insufficient supply of
water, and that the pressure was SO weak
that they were only able to throw a stream
as high as the third story. The buildings,
they say, burned like so much paper.
The loss on the Hotel Regent is estimated
at 300, 900. The loss on the furniture is
placed at 500, 600. The insurance aggre-
gated $500, 900, but of this $500, 900, it is said,
was on personal property. A great deal OF
personal property covered by this insurance
was saved.
DR.. Talmage said again this morning that,
in his opinion, God showed his great mercy
yesterday, at the time of the fire, in the fact
that He did not let it get under Roadway un-
til most of the congregation had left the
church.
81 shall start for Europe today, as I had
planned he said, 'but I shall stand by tho
trustees. If they decide to build / will never
desert them. / believe that another taber-
nacle will be erected to tine glory of God.
However, it is not certain. There will be a
meeting Of the trustees at my house at four
o'clock this afternoon to decide finally"

QUEER VERDICT OF A JURY.
Judge and Lawyer Can't Under
stand on what 1t Es Based.

Judge and Lawyer Can't Under-
stand on what ut Is BASED.
A jury in the Court Of Common Pleas
Court at eight o'clock Saturday night rem
dered a curious verdict. II was in the suit
brought by William Maxon against Michael
Campbell Of Tenth and Grove streets, to re
cover $500, the amount OF q bond Campbell
YVES alleged to have signed. The suit was
brought In the Circuit Court and handed
down. to The Common Pleas for trial.
Il appeared from the Testimony that Neil
Campbell, O nephew Of the defendant, who
is twenty-one years old, wanted to buy some
building material from MaKon. The amount
of the bill was $780,, and Michael Campbell
| signed q bond as q surety and made himself
liable for the debt.
When the bill became due it was paid by
Neil Campbell, who very soon afterward
bought $500 worth of goods again from w.
| II. Maxon, and rendered him a second SINH
lar in all respects to the first. Before this
| bill became due, Neal Campbell left the city.
| and it is believed he is now in New York.
| The bill for the $500 was in consequence
| presented to Michael Campbell, who de-
| nounced the bond to bea forgery, and re-
| fused to pay it. On the trial Mr.. Campbell
| swore positively that he had never signed
the second bond, and that he thew nothing
about it.
The jury returned the surprising verdict
in favor OF the plaintiff of S308. rs. Today
Judge McGrath, counsel for Michael Camp
bell, applied for a rule to show cause why q
new trial show not be granted. Judge Nc
Grath said he could not understand by what
reasoning the jury found a verdict Of
S3O6.75. If Campbell owed anything he
Judge Hudspeth granted the rule to show
cai1se. and made it r~eturnable Friday.

THE sUSQUEHANNA's TUNNEL
Cars Will Probably BE Run Under
the Palisades Wednesday.

The Susquehanna and Western Railroad
Company expects to have its new tunnel
through the Palisades, near Fairview, in full
operation Wednesday. The tunnel, with an
exit on the Hudson near Edgewater is 5000
feet long, wide enough for a double track,
and cost about $500, 900. The spur from
the main line of the Susquehanna is fully a
mile.
The company will use the tunnel as an
outlet for its increasing coal traffic, which
amounts to nearly three million tons of coal
annually. For many years the D., I. and
w. r. r. has had the handling of the
Susauebanna coal cars, taking them at West
End. The Susquehanna Company thinks the
saving OF this expense will almost pay for
the new tunnel inside of three years.
All the passenger trains of the s. & w.
R. r. go on the Pennsylvania tracks at
West End to Jersey City. Recently the
| former built an extension to Wilkesbarre,
Pa. 1t is thought that in time the Susque-
hanna viii build a large passenger station at
Cliffside, the name given the east end OF the
| tunnel, and so do away with the assistance
of the Pennsylvania railroad.

While the Society of the Cincinnati and the
Sons and Daughters of the Revolution re-
present the period of the Revolution, the
even more Important beginnings Of the
nation, the period forming the thought and
moulding the character OIL the coionists was
not commemorated by kindred societies
until the instituting of the Society of Col
onial Wars aud that of the Colonial Danes.
These are patriotic societies, and appeal to
| all Americans, and it is an encouraging sign
of the times that they are enlisting the
! thought of men and women of position who
are proud of being descendants OF those who
first settled our country, led its thought,
made and administered its laws, n de-
Tended and sustained its right of self govern
mont and made possible this great nation.
