rALMAoE BURNED OUT.
The Famous Brooklyn Tabernacle De-
stroyed-A Loss of over 81, 100000.


Just after the morning service and
while DIR. Talmage was shaking hands
with members of his congregation,
flames burst out between the pipes of
the organ and within 10 minutes the
big tabernacle, at Brooklyn, N. Y,
was doomed to destruction. Adjoining
the church was the Hotel Regent, eight
stories in hight, with frontage OF 90
feet on Clinton avenue and extending
back 200 feet TO Waverly avenue. The
fire spread from the Tabernacle to this
hotel and then TO the dwelling houses
on Greene avenue and Waverly avenue
opposite the church. The wind carried
the blazing cinders in such quantities
in southeasterly direction that dwell
ing houses on Washington avenue, two
squares away and also the Summerfield
Methodist church were set on fire by
them. The total loss reaches over
81 900, 000
1t was nearly 90 minutes before the
firemen arrived on the scene and then
half a hundred streams of water were
turned upon the blazing pile. But the
church was doomed and every effort
was devoted to saving adjoining prop
erty. In three hours only the bare
walls of one of the costliest structures
of Brooklyn remained standing.
Within half an hour the magnificent
Hotel Regent was seen TO have joined
the Tabernacle on the road TO destruc-
ton. The guests in the hotel had lost
no time in making their escape. They
waited only to snatch up few val
uables and run, but wearing apparel
and other effects had to be left TO the
greedy flames. The loss on the Hotel
Regent is placed at $3.50, 900 by the
manager, but this will be largely in
creased by the individual losses TO the
guests The loss on the church is not
far short of $4,000 Russell Sage,
who has mortgage of $4,000 on the
church property and is also the owner
of the site on which it stood, is fully
insured.
The trustees of the Tabernacle have
decided to rebuild the church, but not
on the same site. The insurance and
other available assets would enable
them to pay off all their debts Then
according to the plan, they would raise
$500, 900 and within year would begin
to build. About $40, 600 it was thought
would be sufficient to pay for a site
and less expensive building would be
erected. 1t was decided that DIR. Tai
mage's tour around the world should
begin as arranged; TO start for Phila-
delphia and proceed from there TO At
lanta, Ga. After visiting some south
ern cities he will go TO san Francisco
and will sail from there TO Honolulu,
going afterwards to New Zealand, Aus
tralia, England and other foreign
countries.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW YoRK.-Bradstreet review OF trade
says Prolonged warm weather has stimulated
farm work as well as sales In various season.
able lines OF merchandise, but renewed tariff
uncertainty tends TO prolong the period during
which merchants will continue to buy for
actual needs only, evidences of which fact have
appeared The great coal miners strike has
been extended in the far west and in portions
OF Maryland and the Virginlas, and this hns
been followed by an increase in the number OF
Industrial ebut-downs, due TO increasing
scarcity OF fuel Not far from 10000 men are
reported idle in coal trade alone, and with those
idle OF on strike in other lines the total out OF
work is not less than 225 900. A significant evi-
dence OF the condition OF general tmde is found
in the report OF gross railway earnings during
April, which shows a heavier decrease from the
total In the like month last year than any pre-
cedinR month since Jan 1, 1913 per cent. Even
an Unexpectedly bullish crop report by the
agricultural department failed to stimulate
wheat prices In the face OF excessive Argen-
tine and Russian shipments, increased sup
plies in and atloat for Europe and heavy stocks
In the United States. General trade remains
dull. as does business in manufacturing lines
at Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, Cincinnati,
Louisville. Milwaukee, Minneapolis and Omaha,
except that at tho last-named more activity is
reported in dry goods and hardware.
