THE TABERNACLE.
The Great Brooklyn Edifice De-
stroyed by Fire.
TIE ELECTRIC LIGHTS CAUSED IT.
The Fire Spreads Rapidly and Destroys
Property to the Value of Nearly
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS to
BE Rebuilt.

BROOKLYN, May f3.-Just after serv-
ice at noon yesterday, and while DR.
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 Ad-
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 dwelling houses on Greene and
Waverly avenues. opposite the taber-
naele- The wind carrying the blazing
cinders in such quantities in a south
easterly direction that dwelling houses
in Washington avenue, two squares
away and also the Summerieid Method
ist church were set on fire by them;
but the greatest loss on any one of
these structures did not exceed SIS, 600.
The total loss, however, reaches over
81, 900, 600.
The doctor held quite reception at
his home during the afternoon. DIR.
Talmage made a graphic statement of
the incidents connected with the FIRE
He said: ''At the close of the church
service I was standing at the foot OF
the pulpit shaking hands with hum
about through and walked toward the
center of the church where my wife
stood, when she called my attention to
fire springing out from the top of the
organ. 1 saw at once that it was
under full Roadway and my first i'm
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
get out through, felt they would all
escape"
When asked for his own opinion as
to the cause of the fire, he said emphat.
ical1y:
Electric lights Electricity caused
this fire, as it did in the last tabernacle
on Schermerhorn street
The fire spread with lightning-like
rapidity and before sunset had de-
stroyed property to the value of nearly
81, 900, 600.
The furniture in the Hotel Regent,
which cost from $500. 900 to $3.50, 900, is
entirely destroyed, the total loss on the
building and its contents footing up in
the neighborhood of $3.50, GOO. This loss
falls upon the Brooklyn Hotel Co., and
will be largely increased by the indi-
vidual losses to the guests The loss
on the church is not far short of $780,
600.
The trustees of the tabernacle met
last night and decided to rebuild the
church, but not on the same site The
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 to the
plan, they would raise 5000, 900, and
within year would begin to build.
About $40. 600 it was thought. would
be sufficient to pay for site and a
less expensive building would be
erected.
It was decided that DIR. Talmage's
trip around the world should begin to-
day, as arranged.

American capitalists, with capital of
$500, 900. for the purpose of cultivating

the seeds is equal to cotton seed cake,
and can be produced much cheaper.
The company will enter the field to
compete with the cotton-seed oil manu-

raising the sunfiower. The seeds are

In Madison Square garden. New

met the vicious Iowa stallion, Tro-
cadero, which had killed eight men.
There were. fully 1000 persons present.
Held fast by ropes and ring in his
nose Gleason tiekled his side and legs
with whip. causing him to snort
with rage. The tanners next move was
to fire several shots from a revolver
held close to Trocaderos head. This
seemed to overawe him, and then
Gleason fastened a hopple to one of
the horses front pasterns aud with a
pu1ly rope lifted the foot at will and
soon convinced his ugly subject that

was by degrees harnessed, hitched and
driven about the garden
