FIRE AT FALLS CHURCII,
Three Buildings Destroyed Part of
Contents Saved.
Correspondence of The Evening Star.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
FALLS CHURCH.. Va, July %, 1898.
Falls Church was visited last evening by
the severest fire that has ever occurred
here. 1t originated in a building at East
Falls Church, known as the "oid depot"
near the present depot of the Southern
railroad, which was used as a dairy lunch
room. The fire seems to have been caused
by the careless handling of a gasoline
stove. The flames spread with great ra-
pidity and, owing to d scarcity of water it
was impossible to check them. The close
proximity of two other buildings made their
destruction sure, and attention was direct
ed to saving their contents.
Immediately adjoining was the store and
harness shop of Mr.. j. n. Gibson, the con-
tents of which were mostly saved. Next
to Mr.. Gibson was a store building and
dwelling, In the upper part of which sew
erai families lived, and the flames spread
so rapidly and the heat so intense that
the members of the families could scarcely
save themselves and their children. Two
old gentlemen barely escaped with their
lives. One, an old man named Meehan,
was asleep in his room. and would have
perished but for the prompt action of tic
town sergeant, Mr.. A. r. Jacobs, who In
endeavoring to enter his room by kicking
in the window or door, sustained q severe
laceration of his foot. Doctors Quick,
Fadely and Gott We're soon on the ground
and, placing him under the influence of
ether. extracted the glass from his foot
and he was taken to his home
Much credit is due the members OF Com
pany y of the 1st New Jersey Regiment
stationed at the depot provost guard
for their active eXertions in the emergency.
Captain Griffin called them out, and they
worked herOically in saving the inmates
and contents of the buildings. The depot
of the Southern railroad was saved with
great difficulty. The buildings destroyed
belonged to Mr Isaac Crossman and Mr.
E. j. Lewis, and the loss is partially COW
cred by insurance.

BLOODY FIFTEEN DEGREES.
The Battle Belt Runs From the Sfh
to the 23d North.

From the New York Press.
All the fighting that Is being done now
and almost all the fighting that has been
done this year is inside OF belt flfteen de-
Crees vide, from eight north TO the Tropic
of Cancer Those fifteen degrees may well
go down in history as the bloody degrees"
for they do not cross single continent
where there has not been stiff fighting and
much slaughter.
In the continent OF North America ell
the Dloodshed of the American and Spanish
war has been in these bloody degrees of
le;itude. The big battle of Santiago a9i
the great naval victory OF Sampson and
Schley were almost exactly under latitude
70 north. Cdrdenas. Matanzas and Havana
are just north of % degrees. Manila lies
almost under the latitude of Is north. Tho
Ladrones lie there, too.
In Africa the British have been fighting
in Sierra Leone and bombarding the coast
under the Sth degree of latitude
Fierce battles have been fought and 9TH
ers may be going on now around Khartum,
which is Just south of 10 degrees north.
The battle of Atbara was fought almost
under degree 16 In Central America the
annual revolution was celebrated in Guate>
mala with considerable bloodshed a few
months ago, ending in the assassination OF
Barrios. The fighting there was between
the degrees OF II and 10 north
The japanese fought the Formosan rebels
this year under the Tropic of Cancer
The Tropic of Cancer is about 23LI de-
grees north Of the equator. Thus from S
north to 23l2 north there has been COM
plete peace on no continent, and the battles
were almost all fierce and marked with
much bloodshed. In Sierra Leone the ne
groes massacred many traders and the
British warships bombarded and razed sew
eral native towns, killing many Of the
rebels, before peace was restored
The losses in the battle of Atbara were
several thousand. The Spanish in Manila,
between the slaughter in the naval engage
ment and the battles with the rebels. no
doubt are much more than thousand.
Now comes the great loss on both sides at
Santiago TO make these fifteen degrees OF
latitude bloody indeed.

The BrookIand Lawn Party.

The lawn party for the benefit of S..
knthony's Church OF Brookland closed
Thursday night after a successful run Of
four nights. There was pleasant weather
during the entire time, which aided in
bringing a good crowd each night The
confectionery and supper tables were well
patronized, while Mrs. Clark and Mrs.
Crook brought in larger sum at the lem
onade booth than ever before. Mr. Joseph
Burg and Capt Banner did noble service
at the paddle stand, and the candy table,
too. brought in a goodly sum. The grounds
were prettily decorated and there was dane
Ing every evening. The exact sum IS not
yet known. as all returns have not yet been
made, but the outlook is that it will aid
considerably in paying the church debt.
SeV Joseph A Cunnane, the pastor, was
IN attendance every night, as also were
hany Of the clergy from the city.
IHe various articles which were being
faffed were disposed of on the last night,
