NEW YEARS RESOLVES.
A Number Of Persons Mako Them at q
Methodist Watch Meeting.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 2.-Centenary church
had watch-night service Sunday
night, the like of which has been
rarely witnessed in this city. In the
morning the pastor, Rev. DIR. John
Mathews. announced that the Olive
street and Suburban cars would be
held, so that all who welcomed the
New Year with religious hymns, would
have transportation homeward.
The regular evening preaching serv-
ice in the upstairs auditorium was at
tended by an immense crowd which
packed all the available space. At .
o'clock DR.. Mathews had his audience
adjourn to the Sunday-school room on
the first floor, and there for at least
three hours he did not suffer the in
terest or zeal of the throng to flag for
an instant. The result was thirty
seven new additions and sixteen con-
versions. So continuous was the
stream of new members and converts
that DIR. Mathews was prevented sew
eral times from starting the Covenant
hy mn.
As midnight approached DIR. Mathews
invited those present to come and shake
hands with him, and as the bells be-
gan to ring in the New Year he was
being besieged by several hundred we'll
wishers.

INDIAN PRISONERS.


Forty of Them Domicilcd In the Kings
County N. Y.J Penitentinry.
New YORK, Jan. 2.-Forty Indians,
nearly all ll-booded, became resi-
dents of the Kings county peniten-
tiary yesterday, to remain for periods
of from five to twenty years Their
home is in the Indian territory They
belong to many tribes, but the most
dangerous among them are members
of the Navajo and Black Feet. They
we're convicted ut Paris, Tex, of va
rious crimes, principally horse-steal-
ing, felonious assault and manslaugh-
ter.
The iail in Paris would not hold
them over night without n guard OF
soldiers. To keep them locked up un-
der such circumstances would be very
expensive, and Uncle sam sent them to
Brooklyn, agreeing to pay for the sup
port of each Indian 100 per cent. more
than 1t costs to take care U the Kings
county criminal.
The Indians objected to having their
hair cut, but only one or two made any
trouble. Sabado Nuntotree, known in
his own country as Eye of the Blazing
Sun, refused to sit in the BARRIERS chair,
and told Warden Hayes in fine Navajo
dialet that he preferred death to losing
his locks. 1t took four keepers to
hold him in the chair while the barber
cut off his flowing locks.

Cheap Lodging House In BUFFALO,
BosToS, Jan. 2.--Five alarms in quick
succession from the special box at
tached to the Globe theatcr soon after
1 o'clock this morning caused great ex-
citement all over the city; and when
the firemen reached the building they
quickly saw that they had big job
on their hands. The fire originated in
the clonlx room of the thcater in some,
at present, unexplained manner, and
its spread was most rapid. Tho
entrance and lobby of the theater are
in the middle of large block
bounded by Washington street, Essex
street, Hayward place and on the rear
by the Iiarrison-avenue extension. On
the side of the Globe entrance ut the
| Washiurton-s street front on the north
is large six-story building just com
| pleted, but not MT present occupied,
while ON the south, OF Esscx-street
side, are the large buildings occupied
by Robert T. Almy & Co., clothing
dealers, Bryant a. STATIONS CONNER
cial college and various other tenants.
To the rear of these building, running
back 20 the Iiarrison-avenue extension
is the theater proper.
Before the third snd fourth alarms
were given the entire center OF the
theater seemed one mass OF flames.
while the great clouds Of smolse and
showers of sparks betoken the terrible
IL "a
Soon after the fourth alarm was
sounded the flames burst through the
Washington-strce front of the thcater
entrance and rapidly licked up the
ornamental woodwork of which IT was
composed.
Occasionally, as the fire in the in
terror came in contact with n calcium
or gas tank, an explosion would be
| heard that made the huge crowd OF
onlookers involuntarily fall back, al
though the ropes stretched by the po-
lice had kept them ont of danger
thcrcfrom. The vast showers of cin-
ders that continually assembled from
the burning theater and fell thickly
upon the surrounding buildings,
threatening them also in most alarm
ing manner.
Until 2:30 n. M, it was feared that
the fire would sweep across Hayward
place, the slight wind being in that
direction. At that hour the outlook
had changed and it was thought tho
fire could be kept within the limits OF
the block in which it originated. The
theater itself is practically ruined and
while the buildings that face Wash
ington street are uninjured on their
fronts, the roofs of all Of them have
been practically burned.
Hanlon Bros. "Supcrba" was occu-
pving. the house and their properties
were saved with great difficulty.
The six-story building at the corner
of Washington street and Hayward
place is owned by the Harvard college
trustees. The fire is still burning fu-
riously, but it is believed that it Will
not spread further. No accidents have
yet been reported, and it is impossible
+, to establish the losses at this time. Mr.
J, Johnsulnl is the own of the store.
