How like a dream those days now seem in
retrospective view,
AS we regain our wasted strength all

Twill be paid, and with vengeance, too,
in Dixie's sunny land.

FIRE SET TO A TENEMENT.
Many Lives Endangered by "a New
York Iucendiary.

New York, July lS.-Some one started
fire in two places in the hall of the five
story tenement house, 3S East Broadway, at
. 80 O'Clock this morning, by hanging the
hallway mating over the balustrade and
setting fire to each end. All the tenants
had to hurry out of the building.
The fire was discovered by man known
only as Paddy the watchmans son. be-
cause his father, who had for twenty-five
years acted as watchman thereabouts. was
known only as Paddy" After giving the
alarm in the house, he ran 10 Engine Com
pany No. 9. in the same block.
Max Keyser. on the top floor of the
house with his wife and five children, was
the first TO hear the cries of the watchman.
He got his wife and children out of bed
and carried and led them to the roof, by
which he escaped. Rabbi Aaron h.
Cmaimovitz, who lives on the fourth floor.
got out the same way with his wife. He
managed TO save his books. All the other
tenants found their exit to the street cut
of by the burning mating and woodwork,
and they had to go to the roof The houses
on either side were higher than theirs. and
they did not know how 10 escape. One Of
the Keyser children, however. found n
hole in the wall on one side and they all
climbed through the narrow aperture TO
the next roof.
The fire was put out without much
trouble. The Brooklyn strike indirectly af-
feeted the incident, as policemen were so
scarce that one did not arrive in the house
until after Captain Gaffney and his men
had started 10 put out the fire. The in
cendiary, it is thought, took this into con-
sideration.
Nathan Sahls grocery store on the first
floor of the six-story tenement 30l East
Third Street was skeletonized by fire at
O'Clock this morning. A tailor named
Newman, who lives opposite. Academia ly
discovered the fire, summoned the firemen,
and then returned and aroused all the in
mates by ringing the electric bells con-
nected with the several apartments. Every
one escaped unhurt Everything in the
grocery was destroyed. The damage is es
timated at s7G0.

PASTOR NoRrHs FAREWELL.
Services at Gardens Memorial Church
Lass Night

A church filled to overfowing greeted
Rev. Joseph B. North, of Garden Memorial
Church, last night when he arose to preach
his last sermon as the pastor. The Junior
Order Of United American Mechanics, of
the District, attended to pay their respects
to their state vice counselor, and present
him with token of appreciation in the
form of an immense bunch of La France
roses and asparagus tied with pink rib
bons. DR.. North preached a splendid SER
mon and eXhorted his hearers to dill
gence in the Christian life. At the close
he touchingly alluded to the kindly rela-
tisn existing between himself and his es-
teemed flock, and then by the power vested
in him by the Presbytery Of Washington
city, declared the pulpit vacant. The mu-
sic was exceptionally good. Beverly North
was soloist in the selection by the choir
THE Golden Years Are Rolling On" Ed
ward T. Davis, Walter Tubbs, and Beverly
North sang Take Time to be Holy" E.
t. Davis was the precentor. When the
services were concluded the congregation
pressed round the pastor, wishing him
Godspeed DR.. North has been so active
in everything tending to the building up
of the church that he has made hosts of
friends who wish him well wherever his
lot is cast. He has received the unanimous
call Of the Presbyterian Church at Snow
Hill, Nd, the first Presbyterian church
organized in America and will enter upon
his duties the first Sunday in February
