ask that you permit trains TO pass through.
You can prevent persons and trains from
exposing your people by stopping over in

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
CINCINNATI, Jan. 2S.-At 2:30 o'clock
this morning fire broke out in the north
section of Herman Gcepper's malt house,
recently the property of Albert Schwill &
streets, between Race and Vine, and the
mammoth establishment was soon in
flames. Overman & Schraeder's cordage
building, adjoining, also caught fire. All
the available engines in the city were called
out, but the efforts of the fire-fighters
seemed fruitless, for the flames, at 3
o'clock, had crossed Commerce street and
attacked the south section of the malt
house. Both buildings were five stories
high and filled with stock.
AT 4 o'clock the fire was we'll under con-
troll. the flames having been confined to
the malt house and cordage building. The
loss will be in the neighborhood of 500, 900.
1t is impossible to get the amount of in
surance at this hour, but it is known Mr..
Goepper's stock was fully protected.
While the malt house was burning an
alarm was turned in from Fourth and
Broadway, but the fire there was insignifi-
cant.

LYMAN ABBOTT CENSURED.
His Teachings Condemned by Brother
Divines of Greater New York.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2I.-At a meeting to-
day of the Manhattan Congregations As
ISOLATION, in the South Congregational
Church. Brooklyn, the ministers strongly
~disapproved of DR.. Lyman Abbott's state
ments made in a series Of Sunday evening
sermons in Plymouth Church that certain
books of the Bible might properly be re-
garded as works of fiction. The Rev.
Thomas B. Mcleod, of the Clinton-avenue
Church, introduced a resolution censuring
DR.. Abbott for departing from the ortho-
doX teaching or eXemplifcation of the
Bible. The resolution recited that the views
of DR.. Abbott were in direct opposition to
the views of the Congregational Church
and continued: THE Manhattan Associa-
ton. fearing that its silence would be ac-
cepted by the uniformed as an indorse-
ment of these views, do declare an emphat-
ic dissent from such handling of the Holy
Scriptures and deplore the probable effect
of such teachings"
The Rev. DR.. Miles attempted to add an
amendment that the name of the clergy
man referred TO be inserted in the resolu-
ton, but after a short discussion his mo-
ton was lost. A discussion followed, which
was participated in by Rev. DIR. StimSon,
of this city. and the Revs. Lyman and
others. of Brooklyn, who spoke against
DIR. Abbott. The motion was adopted by a
vote of 40 to >.

END OF HER ROMANCE
THE PRINCESS DE CHIMAY QUAR-
RELs WITH HER GYPSY LOVER,
Quits the Hotel at Milan, Leaving Ri
gO's Bill Unpaid, and FIees 10
Monte Carlo Alone.

LONDON. Jan. pa Vienna dispatch 10
the Daily Mail says that a telegram just
received from Milan announces that the
Princess De Chimay, formerly of Detroit.
and Janos Rigo. the Hungarian gypsy mu-
stefan who recently eloped with her. have
quarreled violently. The screams of rage
from the Princess De Chimay and the for
chile language of Rigo disturbed the resi-
dents of the hotel where the two were
stopping, and they complained to the land
lord because of the noise occasioned by the
outbursts OF passion. At the end OF one OF
these quarreis the Princess De Chimay
packed her trunk and quilted the hotel,
leaving at once for Monte Carlo. She paid
her own bill, but left RIGGS bill unsettled.
Rigo is said TO be in an awkward position
since the departure of the princess, for ne
is without funds and has no immediate
prospects of securing employment.
