Two Fircmen Killed While on Duty at
Atlantic city, ~. y.

Atlantic City, ~. j.. Dec. 3.--St.
Monicas Catholic church, situated in
the lower section OF the city. known as
Chelsea. was burned TO the ground
Wednesday morning between eight and
ten o'clock. When the building col
lapsed there were several fremcn on
the inside who were caught in the de-
bris. two OF whom were killed They
are:
William Douchertv. aged IS. former as
sistant engineer OF the fire department and
n member or the Good WIN hook and lad
der company.
Thomas Lcnnig. aged 80 engineer OF the
chemical engine of the Chelsea fire COM
pany No. g.
The bodies of the two tiremen were re-
covered. Both of them were horribly
burned. From their positions il was
seen that they had been caught by the
heavy timber and not unlikely were
alive until they were burned TO death.
The church had n seating capacity OF
LOO, and was built in 1885. Its orig
inal cost, without the ground, was $780,
900, but more has been expended upon
il since. The insurance amounts TO
$4,000.
The origin of the fire is believed by
Father Petr to have been due TO de-

THE SILVER CAUSE.
Mr.. Bryan Declares It's Defeat Only
Temporary.

Temporary.
New York, Dec. lin the December
number OF the North American Review
Mr.. Bryan presents an article, in which
ne discusses the result OF the election
as affecting the status OF the si..er
question. The issue on which the cleo
ton turns he describes ms "the greatest
issue ever submitted TO the American
people in time of peace" The declara-
ton OF the Chicago convention in favor
OF the free coinage OF silver forced upon
the people of this country a study of the
money question i'm general. The result
of this study Mr.. Bryan declares to be
temporary defeat. but permanent gain
Tor the cause of bimetallism.
Mr.. Bryan regards II as n significant
fact that the silver sentiment was
strongest where the question had been
longest considered-that Is to say. in the
west and south. The gold sentiment
prevailed in the eastern states. but even
there, in Mr.. Bryan's opinion. the cause
OF bimetallism made more rapid prog
ress than any cause ever made in such
short time. The odds against bimetal-
lism in the middle states were very
great. In Wisconsin and Minnesota the
democratic party declared against sill
yer In the conventions which sent dele
cations to Chicago. In Michigan the
convention was nearly equally divided,
and there was a bitter contest within
the party in Iowa. Indiana and Ohio,
while in Illinois the hostile influence of
the Chicago press was greatly felt.
Mr.. Bryan expresses his assurance
that the election can be by no means re-
gurded as a conclusive settlement OF
the questions at issue. This confidence
Is confirmed by the history OF recent
elections. Mr.. Greeley was defeated in
1872. and yet Mr.. Tilden was elected
in 1876. Mr.. Blaine was defeated in 1884,
hut Mr.. Harrison was elected in 1888.
The republican victory of 1883 was fol-
lowed by the democratic victory OF 1890
and election of President Cleveland two
years later.
Mr.. Rryan counsels the republican
party TO remember that thousands OF
republicans have been held by their par
~ this year by the pledge that they will
try TO secure international bimetallism.
In regard TO the gold standard demo-
Gratis. Mr.. Bryan is assured that they
cannot do as much harm in 1900 as they
have done this year.
"They cannot" he says. disguise
themselves again. The contest for finan-
cial independence will go en-. We I'M
dertook the contest with dsorganized
army; we emerged from il united and
disciplined force, without the loss Of n
soldier. We are ready for another con-
test. We believe that we are right.
and believing that right will finally tri-
umph. we face the future firm in the be-
lief that bimetallism Will be restored"
