G. A. r. SERVICES.
Proposition From the Woman's Relief
Corps Under Consideration.

n Froposition from the Woman's Relief
Corps Under Consideration.
The ministers of Butte held a meet
ing yesterday morning and were ad-
dressed by Evangelist Brown. A COM
munication was received from Mrs
jolly. president of the Woman's Relief
Corps, G. A. r., suggesting that rather
than have the members of the Grand
Army, as has been the custom, select
their own church for memorial serv-
ices, that all churches join in a union
service to be held at the Auditorium
on Sunday evening before Memorial
day. Those pastors who expressed
themselves on the proposition did not
consider IT favorably. The matter was
referred to a committee consisting of
Revs. Groeneveld. Tabor and Rollins.
with instructions to make arrange
ments that would be satisfactory to
both pastors and the Grand Army peo-
pie. The idea suggested by the pastors
is that the memorial services be held
in the Auditorium at O'clock in the
afternoon so as not to interfere with
the evening services at the church.
The following resolutions relating to
Rev. j. III. Spencer's removal from
Butte to Anaconda was adopted:
Resolved, That this association of
pastors of Butte, assembled at the
Mountain View NJ. Z. church assure
our brother pastor, Rev. ]. H. Spencer
our continued fraternal sympathy and
earnest prayers for his success in his
new field of labor"

ii IS A MINOR AFFAIR
"The Whole Canopy of Heaven Over
Butte Becomes Red"
AN EXTRA" ORDINARY FIRE
"A Wild and Fascinating Sight Of
Fiery Glory"-An Old DilapI-
dated Planning Mil, Value
$3.50, Is Burned.
AN EXTRA" ORDINARY FIRE

There was a small blaze at an early
nour yesterday morning in the old
planning mill of the Bitter Root Devel-
opment company in the southeastern
part OF town. The mill was abandoned
long ago, and all the machinery re-
moved. The mill originally cost 81, 500
ana was considered worth $3.50 in its
dilapidated condition when IL caught
ilre The tiremen succeeded in confin-
ing the blaze to the old mill and moth
ing else was damaged
The following account of the Fifty
Thousand Dollar Blaze" in an extra OF
the Butte Miner yesterday will be read
with interest:
AT APPS this morning an alarm Of
fire was turned in from box "A. The
| department responded with the usual
CELEBRITY and ran to the foot of Arizona
street and found that the buildings of
the old Lavelle lumber yards were
abiaze and burning beyond hope of
quenching without total loss. There was
no pressure on the hydrants, and, after
laying hundreds of feet of hose, only a
hutle squirt came through the two lines
that had been laid to the scene of the
confagration.
THE firemen were free to damn the
water company and everything in sight
because they could not do work with
out the element of their warfare.
Inc pldnlnS mil was the urSt TO be
fully ablaze, and the firemen did all in
their power to even make an attempt
to save it, but there was no water, and
as the flames leaped from building to
building and the whole canopy Of heav-
en- over Butte became red and glorious
as far as illumination is concerned, the
hremen And 1.-THE thousands of onlook-
ers more vehemently damned this in
glorious situation. In less than half an
hour an area of fully one-half mile
square was livid sheet of flame
tongueing to heaven. 1t was a wild
and fascinating sight of fiery glory,
and while the Montana switch en-
gines were snorting madly through the
spacious yards, drawing cars of timber
and lumber from the flames. Fully
1000 people witnessed the fruitless eff
forts OF the firemen. There was no
wind, and the fire was confined to the
row of buildings running from the
planning mill to the dry kilns.
"At this hour IL Is impossible to esti-
mate the exact loss, but 1t cannot fall
far short of $4,000 From what could
be learned of the situation before go
ing to press II is understood that the
fire was started by tramps who infest
that particular part Of Butte"

MINISTER'S AND LABOR,
Action Mt the NJ. f. Preachers' Mcctin
on the Federation of Labor Reuucs.

Action mt the NJ. f. Preachers' Meeting
on the Federation of Labor Request.
The Methodist Episcopal preachers of
Washington at their meeting today in
Foundry Church decided that they could
not take any action toward securing the
employment of members of organized la
Dor on the new buildings of the proposcd
American University.
AS was stated in The Star of Monday last.
a committee was appointed to consider a
communication from Mr.. E. NJ. Blake.
chairman Of the legislative committee of
the local Federation of Labor, requesting
the ministers to use their influence with the
building committee to attain the object
stated.
The most important part of the commit
tees report was as follows: I'VE have the
utmost confidence in the Representatives CT
the American University appointed TO ar
range such matters as are referred to in
Mr.. Blake's communication. We are sure
that, like ourselves, they have a genuine
sympathy with all just demands of labor
within the District or elsewhere. Not hav-
ing, however, any information that would
justify us in interfering with the affairs Of
the university, we deem 1T best not to do
So
Rev. DIR. George V. Leech read a paper
entitled What Should Be the Attitude of
the Church on the Great Question Before
the General Conference at the Present
Timer" DR.. Leech reviewed the action of
the general conference on the woman ques-
ton and said that 1t was certain now that
woman would come into the highest body
legally, but he severely criticised the ac-
ton of the ladies who presumed to take
their seats in the present conference at
Cleveland, when they were aware they had
not been legally elected. The paper was
discussed by Revs. Drs. Ames, Stitt, o. A.
Brown. Hobbs, Walsh and Chapman, and,
pending the remarks of the latter, the hour
of adjournment arrived, and DR.. Chapman
suspended his remarks until the next meet
ing. At today's session DR.. Stitt presided,
and in the absence of Secretary Bielaski,
Mr.. Van Arsdale was elected acting secre-
tary.

THOMAS CAPTURED,
One of the Alexandria Jail Breakers
in Custody.

One of the Alexandria Jail Breakers
in Custody.
Yesterday afternoon Policeman Fugett Of
the fourth precinct arrested Michael
Thomas, one of the men who broke out Of
the Alexandria Jail several days ago. and
locked him up. At the station the man re-
fused to give his name and denied his iden-
tty. Later, however he was identified as
one of the fugitives This morning he was
sent back to Alexandria.
On the morning of February 81 last Mi
chael Thomas went to his home South
Lee street in Alexandria and there made a
brutal assault upon his wife Mary. 1t will
be remembered that he shot her three times
and then struck her on the head with an
AK twice, and then made his escape ami
ran across Hunting creek. In short while
the officers were in full pursuit. and when
Thomas saw that he would be captured he
attempted to commit suicide by cutting his
throat with small penknife. He was
taken to the station house, where he
acknowledged that he attempted to kill his
wife. HIS condition was sucn that he had
to be taken to the ntirmary, where he lay
in critical condition for some time. Upon
his recovery he was taken before the
mayor and committed to Jail to await the
action of the grand jury. During the night
of May Thomas, with four other prison
eIS, Hdue MS escape from the Jail by cut
ting hole in the ceiling of the cell where
they were confined, and they made their
way to an attic above, where they cut
hole through the roof and made their es-
cape. City Sergt. Smith offered a reward
of SD each for the recapture of any of the
men. The governor, on being informed OF
the escape, made an additional reward OF
$50 for Thomas and $40 each Tor the others
Thomas was landed il Jail at Alexandra
this morning at 10 O'Clock, and said TO a
Star reporter that when he mali. his escape
of Tuesday night last he went to the home
Of his wife to her, but as soon as she
heard his voice she cried Murder! Policer'
and he ran and went up the city road
across the Chain bridge and started up the
towpath of the canal .Afte- ne had gone
eight or ten miles he changed his mind,
turned and came back to Washington
noon. He was placed in a close cell, and Il
is safe to say he will not make his escape
again.
