CONGRESS STREET NJ. f. CHURCH.
A large audieno egathered at.this church
on Sunday afternoon to hear the sermon
concluding Rev. W. f. Berry's pastorate
Mr.. Berry announced as his text III. Cor. 4,
8, 5, "But our sufficiency is of God" II
emphasized that God has a lofty purpose
for man both in His character and work.
But in himself man is not sufficient to
attain Gods purpose more than the apple
seed is to become an apple tree; the
sutficiency of each to attain the Creators
purpose is OF God.
Before the sermon MIR. Berry called at

ticiency of the church in current expenses
reported some two months ago was

Another mysterious fire occurred iii

O'Clock last night. 1t was in small
frame bnilding situated in the rear Of 81
Spruce street, which was used as a sta~l
BILE and carriage house. When first dis
covered the flames were coming out In
volumes from the portion of the building
in which the horses were confined. The
animals were quickly rescued from the
burning building, as were also two
wagons. Charles Slater, the owner OF
the building. said that he had not been
in the same for about half hour before
the fire was discovered and did not
know how the fire could have originated.
He said there were some rags In. the
building, none of which were likely to-.
cause spontaneous combusion. An
alarm was sent in from Box n, corner

FIGHTING KANSAS LAWS.
The Western Union Refuses to Make the
Rates Prescribed

Topeka, Kan, May 2S.-The constitu-
tionality of the law creating the state
court of visitation and the validity of
the law reducing telegraph tolls in Kan
sas are attacked in a suit brought in
the federal court here yesterday by the
Western Union Telegraph company. The
court of visitation has succeeded the
street railway commissioners and is
vested with control of railroads, tele-
graph and express lines The new tele-
graph law reduces tolls on ten word
messages within the state to fifteen
cents and one cent for each additional
word. Both laws were passed by the
populist Legislature. The telegraph COM
panies have refused to make the rates
prescribed by law and j. G.. Maxwell
recently began proceedings before the
court Of visitation to force the Western
Union to accept his messages at the legal
rate. In the suit filed yesterday the
telegraph company maintains that the
court of visitation was not legally Gre
ated and that the telegraph tolls fixed
by the new law are confiscatory. Fed
eral Judge Hooker Immediately granted
temporary injunction against the court
of visitation enjoining the court from
any action in the Maxwell case, pending
a hearing on June Is.

AL1SKA BOUNDARY DISP UTE.


London, May 29--The Washington
correspondent of the Daily Chronicle,
referring to the Alaska boundary dis
pute, says: President Mckinley has all
along been most anxious to bring about
a settlement. He personally urged the
American commissioners to make every
reasonable concession and to go to the
extreme limit of generosity if necessary,
so desirous was he to remove all cause
of friction. Secretary Hay has been
animated by the same motive and the
principal reason why he left the United
States embassy in London to assume
the portfolio of secretary of state was
his hope of finally settling all the dis
puted questions.
After reviewing the history of the
commissions deliberations the corre-
spondent says: To agree in advance to
cede port would be making farce of
arbitration. The United States has
shown a disposition to make concessions
and has offered to buy out the Bering
Sea sealers at sum double what their
property is worth, besides making 9TH
er concessions, while the concessions Of
fered by Canada in return are not very
valuable The Daily Chronicle in an
editorial review of the situation re-
proaches Canada with blocking the way.

NINE BURNED no DEATH.
An Entire Family Lose Their Lives at
HardeevilIe, 8. G.

HafueeVHAe, % W.
Savannah, Ca, May 2S.--Mail advices
from Hardeeville, S. c., says: About
three miles from this village, on the
Oestreicher Farm on Tuesday night,
May %, occurred terrible tragedy in
which nine persons lost their lives. A
two story frame building on the farm
occupied by Jacob Solomon, his wife
and seven children, the eldest aged six
teen years and the youngest an infant
of one year. On Wednesday some one
passing saw that the house was gone
and on approaching to investigate
found that every vestige of it was
burned and the bodies of the nine occu-
pants or rather the charred trunks of
nine human beings were lying in the
ashes. The coroner's inquest, held on
the 25th instant, disclosed these facts:
That the house was occupied by Solo
mons and his family and was shattered
in the lower story by the last autumnal
storms, which also carried away the
chimEeys; that Solomons had resorted
to the makeshift of building two fires,
one to cook on and the other for
warth, inside the lower stores of the
house, on two circular mill saws, raised
from the board floor, on small pieces of
iron. The smoke, sparks and flames
escaped from the fire as best they could.

Unset.

New London, May 2s.-Theodore
Loveland, aged twenty years, was
drowned in the Thames river this af-
ternoon and his body has not been re-
covered. A brother was rescued after
he had sank for the third time. The
young men were in a rowboat, which
capsized The two brothers had been
sailing with Frank Silver, the owner of
sailboat. When opposite the works
of the LenoX Oil company, on the west
ern shore of the Thames, the brothers
concluded they would get into the ten
der and row ashore, and after getting
into the small boat the sailboat con-
tinued up the river, They almost i'm
mediately commenced disputing as to
who would have the privilege of rowing
and when one of them made an attempt
to seize the oars the boat upset. Peo-
pie ashore who witnessed the accident
at once put out to assist, and while they
succeeded in rescuing one of them, no
traces could be found of the other.

NINE KILLED IN Il WRECK.
Bad Accident Near Waterloo, Ia.-One
Victim Going to be Married.

Waterloo, Ia, May 28.--The through
train from Chicago to Minneapolis over
the Rock Island and Burlington, Ce-
dar Rapids and Northern Railways
was wrecked at 115 Sunday morning
at the crossing of Sink Creek about
four miles southeast Of this place.
The train consisted of six coaches in
Guiding mail and baggage car smoking
car, two passenger coaches and sleeper.
Nine persons were killed and twenty
four injured. The list of dead is as
follows:
e. l.. Arnold, lumber man, Minneapo1
lis; W. A. Mclaughlin, Muskegon,
Mich; r. III. Schwette, Alton, ILL.,; Da-
vid Hail. Minneapolis; r. S. Carpenter,
st. Louis; Hawkins, Pullman con-
ductor; George Wainwright, train con-
ductor; an unknown person and Will
liam Schollens.
A cloudburst had washed the sand
and gravel roadbed, leaving the track
unsupported for a stretch of twenty
l.,
and there was nothing to indicate the
insecurity Of the road. The engine
struck the washout and was derailed in
the ditch beside the track and behind
it the cars were piled UP in confused
heap. The mail car tipped over and
was telescoped by the baggage car be-
hind, while the rear end of the baggage
car in turn telescoped the smoker The
roof of the sleeper ploughed its way
through the day coach, while the lower
half of the latter crashed through the
sleeper. Te engineer and fireman jump
ed from the train and escaped with
slight injuries
Mr. Schwette of Alton, ILL.,, was
brought to tllis city alive. but died at
s o'clock. He was badly cut about the
head and it was evident from the be-
ginning that his injuries were fatal. He
was on his way to Minneapolis, where
he was to be married to-day. He ask
ed his physician to telegraph his father
and his sweetheart. Tell her. he
gasped, "that l have been detained by
wreck and cannot keep the appoint
ment on time. Don't say any more"
The news was brought to this city by
mail clerk, the whistle was blown, a
switch engine and coach hastily pre-
pared and a relief train sent very
speedily. The injured passengers were
extricated from the debris and brought
here. Another relief train soon arrived
from Cedar Rapids and took number
of the seriously injured to be treated in
the hospital in that city.

THE MISSING CLARK CHILD,
Deserted Infant in Buffalo Exactly
AnsWe ring the Description

Buffalo, N. Y, May 2S-One week ago
to-day man giving the name of Rob-
ert Hale, residence No. 1920 South
Broadway, ST. Louis, lodged at a house
of Mrs. King, 81 Swan street this citv.
He had with him two children a three
year-old boy and girl apparently sew
enteen months old. Monday morning
Hale disappeared, taking with him the
boy, but leaving the girl behind. The
deserted infant was turned over to the
Erie county hospital. DR.. McGilray Of
the hospital staff believing that the
child resembled the Clark child abduct-
ed in New York asked Captain McClus-
key of New York for a more complete
description of the children and on re-
'ceiving it found that it compared exact
ly with the child in his possession.
The hair and eyes We're of the same
color and one or two marks on the body
Were Identical. After this discovery
was made a photograph of the Clark
child was sent for. 1t arrived last Fri
day and DIR. McGilray says that any
one comparing the Hale child's face
with the face in the photograph would
quickly say that the photograph is the
Hale child. The similarity is so strik-
ing that the New York police authori-
ties were communicated with. They re-
piled that some one who knew the Clark
child would come to Buffalo to see the
infant at the county hospital Super
intendent Churchill of the Society for
Prevention of Cruelty to Children says
that the man Hale accompanied by the
two children was in his office week
ago last Friday, two days before the
abduction of the Clerk child. He, how

markable that further inquiry is pru-
dent.
