The flames were extinguished without

the silver communion service in the closet
was badly damaged, as We're Some altar

have TO be replaced. The damage to the
building will amount to about 500.
Two theories are advanced as to the
tinsmith working on the roof during the
afternoon dropped spark from mis- fur
mace. which in some manner reached the
closet and ignited some of the rubbish
there. The other is that the flames orig
mated from a match dropped by some one
near the closet door.

MOTEN DISAPPOINTED.
Detective Muller Interferes With
Plans Made for breakfast

Plans Made for breakfast.
Isaac Molten, colored, was a sadly disan-
pointed man, this morning, when he found
that he had to eat corn bread and salt
meat, instead of porterhouse steak and
fried potatoes He was found on the street
last night by Detective Muller. with about
ten pounds of steak and cooked ham in a
bag In his possession. Where he got the
meat he would not say, but told the officer
he would have to find out the best he could.
Detective Muller was On his way home
about 1870 o'clock. when he saw Moten
near Virginia avenue and eth street. His
movements attracted the officers attention.
and aroused his suspicious. When he saw
him put the bag over his shoulder and start
away he arrested him.
Molten Is held, and should it appear that
the meat was stolen he will be taken to
court.
