evening, and today they We're giving
him the warmest assurances of their
support and assistance. The members
Of the congregation were loath to dis
cuss the Significance of the trustees
action, but II was admitted by Robert
Bonner. J. II. Work and many others
that 1t was the direct outcome Of the
differences of the factions in the
church.
The trustees are the financial gov
errors OF the church. They are also
the financial hackers of the church.
'"hcy not only represent In themselves
financial support, but also represent the
McCooks. the Maitlands and the
Sloanes. who are supposed to be OPP
posed to the continuance Of DIR. Hall
In the pastorate. The resignation of the
trustees. following closely the stand
taken By the congregation last Wednes-
day night, is expected TO be followed
next Thursday by the withdrawal from
the session of many influential and
wealthy members.
Robert Bonner. a warm advocate of
Or. Hail. said today that the resigna-
ton of DIR. Hall had not been
prompted hy the financial condition of
the church Mr. Bonner asserted that
the dissatisfaction with DIR. Hall by
members of the session commenced
with the Warszawiak Incident last
summer. Had that not occurred there
would never have been, Dr. Bonner
believes, the slightest opposition to DR..
Hal.
Herman Warszawiak had charge OF
one of the churches. Charges of mis-
conduct were made against him and he
was found guilty by the session and
dismissed from the church. DR.. Halls
sympathy was with Wars2awiak. and
he stood by him q little too long. con-
timed Mr.. Bonner "At the time /
said that either Warszawiak was guilty
and should be dismissed from the
church, or John T.. Parsons was guilty
of n great libel on him
This incident, Mr.. Bonner thought.
tended to make breach between these
who thought Warszawiak should ne
dismissed and DR.. Hall. The dramatic
Incident in the Fifth Avenue Presby-
terrain church last summer, when Dr.
Hall announced the decision of the ses-
sion In the case of Warszawlak,helpeo

rosition was concerned. The congre-
cation, however, as a whole, was not
affected by the incident the manifesto

Ing TO endear him the more t. hem
Mr.. Bonner said, however, that prior

Tacoma, WASH, Feb. 6.--The over
land passenger train that left Tacoma

wrecked at o'clock this morning at
small bridge thirty miles east of Pasco.

ANOTHER RIG SAVANNAH FIRE.
This Makes Twelve In Two Weeks In the
Southern City.

Savannah. Ca, Feb. 6.-Savannah's
epidemic of fire continues tonight.
DANCE to the amount of $4,000 was
caused by conflagration which started
In n hay warehouse on the wharf at
the foot of jefferson street. The fire
communicated to several brick build
ings on Bay street and three of them
were entirely gutted The heaviest
loss was sustained by Charles Conklin
& Co.. who carried a 100000 stock of
hardware with an insurance of $4,000.
Before the fire which broke out in the
hay warehouse had been brought under
control, flames burst out in the mag
nificent cathedral of ST. John the Bap-
tist the seat of the Catholic church
in the state of Georgia, and it was
soon a mass of ruins.
All the fire engines in the city were
engaged at the other fires. The con-
sequence was that 1t was nearly an
hour before an engine arrived to turn
n stream on the valuable property that
was fast going to waste. or on other
property around needing protection. The
tremendous shower of sparks that was
carried up in the heat for an hour or
more, falling in the square and other
building made grand spectacle. The
fire started In the organ loft and spread
rapidly through the church.
Everything was removed from the
rooms in the vicinity, and 1t was only
after a struggle that they were saved.
At midnight the destruction OF the
cathedral was complete.
The cathedral cost $4,000, and was
insured for $4,000. 1t was one of the
finest ecclesiastical structures in the
South. The edifice contained many
works of art, all of which were saved.
There have been dozen fires here
within the last two> weeks. and there
is considerable talk of fire-bugs.

New York, Feb. 6.--The Herald will
say tomorrow: Mormonism has chal-
Ienced the orthodoxy of the day and
called II "heterodoxy." This was the
gauge thrown down to the old Chris
tlan churches Sunday by Congressman
King of Utah at the conference of the
Morrnons of the Eastern mission in
Brooklyn. Much explanation OF results
of Eastern missions was made during
the two sessions. but through all of
them ran the spirit of conquest. There
we're no apologies for the Mormonism
of the past. ON the contrary, the spirit
was one of aggressive championship
of the Mormon theology.
Representative King of Utah, who
supported in the House of Representa-
tiyes the request for more money for
Notifications, appeared as n mission
ary. He fervently declared that he
knew the mission had been given to the
Mormon leaders to prepare the way
for the coming of Christ and the King
dom of God.
''Morinonism Is challenge which
meets you on the roadway of life and
compels you to give the watchword
of true Christianity. 1t compels you to
say whether you are really with God or
not; II challenges the orthodoxy of to-
day and calls 1t heterodoXy.
"Mormonism has come to make the
whole world one nation. one people and
one faith. 1t has not come to destroy.
1t has come to unite and to show Gods
will MS 1t really exists
Characteristic Mormon hymns were
sung during the services by members of
the Tabernacle choir of Salt Lake city.
Apostle Lyman, who has come from the
Mormon capital to preach to the East
ern people. made an address in the
evening.

Chicago, Feb. GA panic among 200
dancers was narrowly averted last
midnight at the North Shore hall
Thirty spectators We're crowded into
the little balcony watching the dance.
The supports became loosened and
slipped back to the wall. The balcony
sank gradually. allowing the spectators
to slide topsy-turvy on the polished
floor
When the creaklng and pulling COM
menced. indicating that the balcony
was falling, the large number of per-
sons gathered underneath quickly
stampeded toward the central portion
of the hall, leaving John Kruise be-
hind. Kruise was caught by the fall
ing timbers and his side crushed in.
AS the north end of the balcony COM
menced to fall the musicians became
anic-stricken and seizing their instru-
ments made n dash for the door. The
dancers followed. Several police OFF,
