Columbus. Ga. Sept. GA $500 FIRE de
stroyed ten houses in Phenix City 10
day and the loss was but half covered by
insurance. The fire originated in the resi-
dence occupied by J. l.. Moon in the heart
of the town, from a defective fiue, and
had It not been for the help OF the Co
lumbus fire department, several books
might have been swept.
This makes the second bad fire that
Phenix City has had lately and quite a
vigorous move Is on in that town for fire
protection. The property destroyed to-day

cheering crowds. IL was not until all the
warships had passed on review before the
Olympia at anchor below the beautiful
floats representing Peace and Victory that
the one incident of the day occurred. which
showed that with all his genialty, the hero
of Manila could also be a very stern sailor
In less than a minute after the Chicago
had passed the Olympia, by the admiral
order, a stream of signal flags ordered the
vessels of the feet to dress ship and the
crews of the men-ofwar ran up rainbows
of signal flags from stem TO stern over
their tOpmasts.
The order was beautifully executed, ex-
cept aboard the flagship, where the foul
ing of the line in the top Of one of the
stacks caused a delay. Admiral Dewey in
stantly roared out command for some
one to ease the line. 1t fOuled again and a
nimble sailor was sent aloft 10 clear it. 1t
was perhaps two minutes before the flags
were in their proper place. The admiral
was plainly displeased. He sent for the
officer under whose direction the order was
executed, and called him upon the bridge.
Il am ashamed of this" he said in the
tone of a sailor giving command in a
roaring gale, land l am ashamed Of YOU"
Sailors Cheered, Too.
cheered as they passed close to the Olym-
pia the admiral called upon the crew TO
stand by and cheer. Each time the sail
ors eaped upon the steel bulwarks, and
with swinging caps, responded to the COM
mand with throat-splitting roars.
When the crowd OF vessels about the
flagship became so dense that the progress
of the rest of the parade was impeded the
admiral ordered the police patrol boats to
\ clear the way of the ships that had left
the line and had spread themselves about
the Olympia like a flock of wild fowl. He
did not leave the bridge until the APP
preaching darkness turned the ships In
the demoralized taii-end of the process
sion back TO their piers.
LiptOn's Yacht in Line.
After the warships, Sir Thomas IApton's
steam yacht the Erin was much applaud
ed. Sir Thomas had taken up a position
on the bridge of the Erin, the moment she
got under way TO guide the starboard col
umn and except for few minutes spent
on the quarter deck just after passing the
Battery, he remained at the side of the
skipper, Capt. Mathews waving his yacht
ing cap in response 10 the salutes, until
after the Erin had rounded the turning
point off Grants tomb. There were many
distinguished guests on the Erin, includ-
ing the Hon. Charles Russell, who ar
rived from England yesterday; Sir r. Bur-
dette, Walford Burdette, Hugh G. McGil-
doway, James Craig, Col. Shenandoah
ford and DR.. F. Mackey.
In the line of yachts were two other for
eign visitors. the Earl King and the White
Ladye. While the reception which greet
ed them was ear-splitting and noisy
enough for all purposes, II was not nearly
so enthusiastic as the serenade to the
passing Erin.

New York, April 16.-The Rev. William
E. Chalmers, pastor of the Parmley Me-
mortal Baptist Church, Grove Street, Jer-
sey City, has rendered his resignation, and
it has been accepted by the trustees, to
take effect July /. The resignation is the
result of serious dispute as to whether
a man who marries a divorced woman is
entitled to be continued on the rolls of the
church as communicate. 1t is under
stood that there is such case in the
church. but none of the members who
know the circumstances will talk about II,
This discussion was brought about by a
sermon which Mr.. Chalmers delivered on

Matthew. xix:6 Wherefore they are no

A new set OF sails is being made for the
Defender in the loft on Burnside Street,
and a few changes will probably be made
in her rigging TO provide for greater

Work on the steel gaff was completed
last week, and it now awaits the last coat
of paint. The new boom, also of steel, is
well under way. and the mast will probably
be half completed before the boom is
finished.
From all indications the principal in
crease in the new boats sails will be found
in the head sails, but why is not known,
unless in this method of increase there is
less chance OF paying a penalty under the

1t has been given out at the Red Cross
headquarters in this city that their work
among the orphans in Cuba has been
greatly impeded on account of lack of
supplies with which to carry on the work.
There is a great demand for bedding,
clothing, shoes, and stockings. and a need
for more nurses. Still, with only limit
ed number OF supplies and difficulty in
obtaining buildings for hospitals and
homes, the Red Cross Society has been
doing much to relieve the pitiable condi-
tion of the orphan children. of which there
are 900 between the ages of four and ten
years in Cienfuegos alone. They have the
cooperation of both General Brooke and
General Lee, who are willing TO do all IN
their power to aid the good work.
As an evidence of the esteem and re-
gard in which Miss Clara Barton is held
by the Cuban people, she has lately been
unanimously elected honorary president OF
the orphans home in Sagua la Grande.
Communications setting forth the dondi-
