Fire and Loss of Life in Atlantic
City.

One of the most disastrous fires that
Atlantic City has had for several years
took place about s o'clock last Wednes-
day morning, when st. Monica's Roman
Catholic Church, at California and At
lantic avenues, was burned to the
ground, and two firemen lost their lives
by being suffocated and burned. VIII
liam Doherty, member of the Good
Will Hook and Ladder Company, and
Thomas Lenny Blakney being the vic
tins.
The church was erected about eight
years ago, before the city was divided
into two parishes. 1t was a handsome
structure, surmounted by a loftey tower,
and cost $4,000 After the division into
two parishes Rev. Father Petri was sent
here from Bridgeton. That was four
years ago. Since, that time about 5000
were expended IN improvements, new
parsonage being erected, new heating ap-
paratus INTRODUCED in the church, and
changes made in the tower, which was
once blown down.
A handsome pipe organ was also pur-
chased, and the music of St. Monica's
has made the church one of the best
known in the city to visitors. The organ
took fire before the main structure was
in flames, and several young lady MEM
bers of the choir who ventured inside the
entrance cried bitterly as they saw it
slowly consumed. The church was in
sured for $4,000, it is said.

CALVIN s. 6RiCE

Hss Some Hope of Democratic Success
 Through Republican Silyerites' Defec-

 Gold Man Himself. That the silver
 Men Are in the ss sddle In his Party.
 NEW YORK, June 10.-Calvin s Brice, democratic sepator from Ohio, said, in speaking of the currency issue:
 ''The contest in the democratic party practically is ended with the victory iu the grasp of the free silver faction. Ii is useless to disguise the certainty that the silver men of the party will control the Democratic national con- vention at Chicago"
 MT. Brice, although gold man, ad- mitted that his only hope of demo cratic success lay in the spread of the craze. The republicans would be com nitted to the sound money standard, he said, while the democrats would take the side of free silver. Mr. Brice did not believe that there would be any bolting democratic conven- ton advocating sound money. It would be impossible, he said. to start such movement, because there would not be time to organize dem- ocratic national party on hard money basis. Therefore. all that there was left for the gold standard democrats to do, in MT. Brice's view, was to ac- quiesce in the silver programme. He said that he did not despair of demo- cratic success, because silver repub- licans in the silver states might SUD- rnrt tho do, @;olrat

CUBA UlBRE.
A Little Flag That Will Be Conspicuous .,
 St. LOuia.

ST. LOUIS, June 1O.-Probably no flag in the Republican convention audi torium will attract more attention or cause so much comment as that of the Cuban insurgents. It occupies a con. spicuous place; in fact. the most con. spicuous place in the entire building. The colors of the Cuban republic can be seen from any seat in the gallery or dress circle, and that is more than can be said of any other national emblem in the building.
