sENsAT1oNA1 NEWS EXPECTED.
Matters of Great Interest Soon to Affect
 Central American Affairs.

Washington, Aug. 4.-Private dis-
 patches received from Guatemala this
 evening indicate that sensational de-
 velopments effecting, possibly, the fu-
 ture of Central America, may be ex-
 pected within the next three days.
 These advices state that President Bar
 rios of Guatemala has formed a secret
 alliance with Costa Rica, looking to
 the formation of a union of all the
 Central American states with Guate-
 in the new federation. The first step
 in this program will be the downfall
 of the present Bonilla administration
 in Honduras, and the appointment of
 Bonilla's successor in the person of
 Marco Soto. This last named gentle
 man is favorable to the proposition, and if the present plans are perfected so that he may by a coup in the ''Etat
 assume the presidential office, the as
 sistance of Honduras can be obtained in
 the plan for a federation of the five states and Nicaragua and Salvador will thus, 1t is claimed, be compelled to join with the other republics as matter of self interest.
 Marco Soto filled for a number of years the office of president of Hondu- ras. He owed his elevation to the chief magistracy to the aid of General Ru- fino Barrios, who was then the dicta- tor of Guatemala, and great political and military force in Central America When Barrios made war on Salvador Soto refused to cooperate with him. Barrios therefore melted a revolution in Honduras, and Soto was overthrown. Subsequently Barrios was killed, and his scheme of Central American union came to naught.
 The presidency of Guatemala is now filled by a nephew of the distinguished dictator. It is claimed that he will use his influence to place Soto again in the presidency of Honduras Those familiar with the present condition in the little Latin-American republics say that new revolution can be easily started in Honduras composed of the dissatisfied elements now out of power, with Soto at their head, and that these, with such assistance as Guatemala can covertly give them, can speedily overthrow the Bonilla administration. President Barrios of Guatemala, it is said, is the more desirous of this new alliance as at present Honduras, Nica- ragua and Salavdor are closely allied. Without the active cooperation of one of the three, it would be difficult for Guatemala and Costa Rica to as- sume an offensive attitude toward the remainder. The withdrawal of Hondu- ras from the triple alliance, and her CO., operation with the other republics, would give to the latter preponder-
 ance of power. Costa Rica would, it ] is said, delight to see her ancient enemy | Nicaragua, humbled, as che would
 necessarily be compelled to join a Central American federation, the con- | trolling power in which would be friendly to Costa Rica.

NEW YORK WENT DRY.
Police Were Stationed at the Doors of
 Some Saloons.

Some Saloons.
 New York, Aug. 4.-To get evidence that would convict excise violators was difficult to-day, although the law was violated In many places. While arrests were fewer, the saloonkeepers were more cautious than they have been heretofore All kinds of devices were resorted to.
 In some cases the interior of sa- loon would look deserted, but upon in- vestigation would show that tempo rary bar had been rigged up in some place where customers could be served and not seen from the street. The most fragrant violators of the Sunday law were along Park Row and around Chatham Square.
 The policemen in uniform were sta toned in front of saloons suspected of doing business. They stayed there un- til convinced that the places had stop ped doing business. The East Thirty fifth station had fifty men on such duty this afternoon and still did not have enough men to guard all sus- picious places, while the West Thirtieth street station in the Tenderloin had only nine such men on duty.

AT THE FIRST III. E. CHURCH.

Rev. c. H. Buck Breaches to His Old Cons \ gregation--Many New Haveners T,.rn
 Out to Greet Former Pastor.
 The Rev. c. H. Buck, a former pastor of the First M E. church and also of the old St. John street M. E. church, preach ed to large congregation, among them many of his old friends here, at the for mer place last evening. His subject was ''The Love of Christ Constrained Me" and he spoke in part as follows:
 The love of God is in the world. You may quench the hopes of ambition, but never the hopes of love. The Christian that haszove will never be a fickla, url- certain Christian. Love for God fingers when the love for wife, sister or mother is forgotten. It is engraven on every Christian heart deeper than the love of home. Would you then, my friend, have this love to make you a true, everyday Christian? The factions of everyday life will not drive it away, troubles and sorrows will not drive it away, old age will not drive it away; it will always be a never-failing fountain. Love of God can cast ray of light even into the darkest heart. Even our very wretch- edness grows dear to us if we suffer 1t for loves sake. That father does not grow weary of toiling for his children:
 that mother, in doing for loved ones, does not regret the nights of broken sleep, even though it may blanch the cheek and break the health. It was for love that the Christians of old could sing down in the dungeons.
 "Our hearts must be in our religiorls
 and religion must be in our hearts. Without this our Christian lives will bo dry and dreary. Some go through llfo doing this and that duty as if a mighty task master was over them. But we arH never converted until religions ceases to be burden and becomes a pleasure. When the path of duty leads over a rugged path and we must walk over 1t with bleeding feet, it must be painful but if love is behind all the pain Is sweet and is suffered with patiences Love-who can paint its beauty? It's birthplace is near the throne of God. It took the only son of God. placed him in the cruel world and nailed him to the cross to save and redeem a world

FIRE MAY BE A DEATH BLOW
4 TOWN HAS NEARLY BEEN WIPED
 0UT BY 4 BIC TIRE.

Very Little Merchandise in the Town of
 sprague Nas saved-Many of the Citi-
 zens Are Homeless--Specia Train on the
 Way to tho Burned District With Sup
 plies.
 Spokane. Wash, Aug. 4.-sprague, the county seat of Lincoln county and the division point and location of the Northern Pacific car shops, and hav- ing a population of 5000. was almost destroyed by fire yesterday. A high wind. amounting almost to hurricane, was blowing at the time, and the fire swept over the town with resistless fury, destroying over s1.O00,000 worth of property in two hours' time. The fire broke out In the livery stable on the south side of the railroad track, and from there the flames swept across to 4 the north side. and within half an hour both sides of the track were a seething mass of flames.
 On the north side the depot was the first to go, and from there the flames spread to the railroad headquarters' building, ice houses, hotels and railroad restaurants, taking everything in the shape of a building.
 From the starting point another arm of the fire began to lick up the buildings on the south side of the tracks. First two blocks of frame buildings facing the tracks went like a flash, and the immense car shops and round house next took fire. Seven of the engines were gotten out in time to save them before the round house fell in, burying three others. The huge oil tanks in the rear of the shops exploded. scattering the burning oil around and served to spread the fire to the business portion of the town. The firemen were powerless to stay the sea of flames, and within an hour every business house, with the exception of three small stores and the First National bank. were in ashes.
 Very little, if any merchandise was saved. Last night many of the citi- zens were homeless. A special train left here last night, carrying food and tents to the sufferers. The fire may be death blow to sprague, as it is prob able that the Northern Pacific will move It's shops here.

WORK OF LIGHTNING BOLT.
MANY PEOPLE INQUIRED, SOME OF
 THEM PROBABLY FATALLY.

A Metho dist Church in New Jersey Struck
 Just When the pastor Was Pronouncing
 the Benediction--A Wild Panic Among
 Those Present Ensued-Stampede of
 Horses Outside in the Sheds All the
 Clothing Was Torn From the Sexton.
 Remington, IN. D., Aug. 4.-The words of a fervent benediction here scarcely left the lips of Rev. MT. Bow man in the Methodist church at Quak- ertown, seven miles from here, to-day, when there came binding flash of lightning and terrific burst of thun- der. The bolt entered the church and injured a score of people, several of them probably fatally. The list of those most seriously injured follows:
 James Hoff, Minnie Brace, Miss K, Hoffman, Asa Damon, the sexton; Mrs. Bowman, wife of the pastor.
 The bolt seemed to enter the ediflce by the basement, shooting up through the floor and bursting with the force of a huge cannon. Members of the con gregation who had started to leave or were standing in groups in conversa- ton with each other were thrown into a wild panic, while at least twenty of them received injuries more or less severe.
 Amid the uproar made the screams of women, the cries of children and the groans of the injured there was a stampede of frightened horses under the sheds outside. A number of them broke their tethers and ran away, wrecking the carriages to which they were attached and dashing down sec tions of fencing.
 Pastor Bowman and scores of will ling hands were soon at work among the stricken ones. A number of them were unconscious and it was thought at first they had been killed outright. They were laid upon the pew cushions. The. parsonage, which adjoins the church, was converted into a hos pital, all the beds being pressed into service. Drs. Sneider of Quakertown and Frace of Clinton quickly respond ed to calls upon them and attended the sufferers.
 All the clothing was torn from Sexton Damon, while his shoes looked as though they had been run through a corn sheller, being literally cut to pieces. He is suffering from the shock and can hardly recover.
 The bolt struck through the floor right at the feet of Minnie Frace, and she was thrown down with great violence. Her watch was melted and the timepisce looks as though it had gone through a furnace. Miss Traces life is despaired of.
 Mrs. Bowman, who stood near Miss Trace, was also thrown down. Her hat was torn from her head and a steel rip ped clean out of her corset. She is still unconscious.
 James Hoff got the full force of the electric shock and he lies in a semi conscious condition. Examination after the excitement had subsided somewhat showed that the bolt struck an outer wall and ran down to the basement sixty feet along the josts, and shot up through the floor like huge bullet. The large bell in the tower was loosened from its hangings and only slender strip of scant1ing kept it from crashing down upon the heads of scores of people at the doorway.
