WHITEW-ASHED MINISTER,
Accused Divine Might Have Been In
discreet But Nothing More

Winsted,. Aug 24.--At council of the
Baptist churches Of the Naugatuck val
ley held in the South Colebrooll Baptist
church this afternoon for the purpose
of investigating the charges preferred
against Rev. M. " Jacobs, a former
pastor, who is named as correspondent
in a divorce suit brought by Arthur j.
Barnard against his wife, Grace Peck
Barnard, the accused was unanimously
Gil furthermore stated that the various
stories printed about Mr.. Jacobs were
pure fabrications.
Seventeen men, pastors and delegates
from seven different churches in this
vicinity, participated in the delibera-
tions, which were presided over by Rev.
G. A. Piddock of Hartford superintend-
ent of state missions, and Rev. p. S.
Evans, pastor Of the Colebrook Baptist
church, as scribe. Fourteen witnesses
were examined and six hours were oc-
cupied in listening to testimony. The
council unanimously passed a resolu-
ton to the effect that the charges af-
fecting the character Of Rev. M. V. ia
cobs have no bases in fact, and while
admitting that he might have been in
discreet, the council could find nothing
in the testimony affecting his character
as minister of the gospel.
The council likewise recommended
that the South Colebrook church give
him clean letter recommending him to
fellowship with other churches.

We're kept hard at work about two
hours last evening to subdue fire
which broke out in Levi G. Gilbsrt's
coal yard on River street. The fire was
in a pocket containing about 500 tons of
soft coal and is thought to have been
caused by the coal becoming wet and
heating a common cause of spontane-
Gus combustion in soft coal. The fire
ment played streams of water on the
fire until it was apparently extinguish.
ed. 1t was thought, however, that fire
was still lurking in the mass of coal
and watchman was left there during
the remainder of the night to give the
alarm in case it got to burning again.
The fire was subdued so that it was
thought that it would not break out be-
fore the coal in the pocket could be cart
ed away. Teams will be set to work
this morning carting out the unburned
coal. The extent of the ravages of the
fire could not be ascertained last night,
but 1t was considered probable that the
damage would amount to 5000 or $780,

Coney Island Sporting Club, New
York. Aug. 24-Whipped into insensi-
bility in less than two rounds is the
story in brief of Tom Sharkey's meet
ing with Bob Fitzsimmons at the Coney
Island Sporting club tonight. F'itz-
simmons was the victory, Sharkey the
loser. Fitzsimmons said all along that
when the opportunity presented Itself
he would prove conclusively that he
was Sharkey's superior and settle ac-
counts for the injustice done him when
he met Sharkey in California four Years
ago.
Sharkey was equally confident that
he would prove to be Fitzsimmons'
master in the ring but the result of
to-nights battle and the brevity of it
proved that Fitzsimmons is still great
fighter and able to beat the best of the
heavyweights. He has beaten Corbett,
Rubin and Sharkey and now it is up to
Jeffries to give Bob a show to retrieve
his lost championship laurels which
he lost to Jeffries fourteen months ago
in this same club house.
Fitzsimmons was decided favorite in
the betting owing to his showing with
Rubin short time ago. His defeat of
Rubin on that occasion and the pre-
vious victory of Rubin over Sharkey
a few weeks earlier Were figured on as
showing that Fitzsimmons ought to
whip the sailor ON this occasion.
When the men met tonight both of
them declared themselves to be in first
class condition, and they certainly look
ed it, Fitzsimmons had taken ON a few
pounds in weight since his meeting

In accounts CT chimney fires it is
common TO read ti:at tie fire was eN-

chimney. Salt is used because there
is liberated from it wen it cones into

an incIoSetl space like 4 cl:iziEey is
very effective in extinGuishng fire.
The primary purpose i'll throwing salt

ney is 10 dis?odge the burning SCOT,
chimney fires being caused by the iSni-
tion cf the SCOT clinging to tie Inside
of the chimney. Salt is used for this
purpose not alone Because Of its pecul-
iar effectiveness. but also because it is
something available for the purpose
that can commonly be found at hand
in house. 1t is thrown down the
chimney in such manner that it will
rattle down the sides and by its weight
knock down the SCOT and sparks cling
ing to the chimney's insides.
A bucket Of sand has been put to the
same use with good effect, and some
times scuttle Of coal has been poured
down the chimney, the coal bounding
about from side to side as it dropped
and so doing its work effectively.
Sometimes q brick is taken from the
chimney itself and, tied to q clothes

hearth below or at the bottom CT the
chimney wherever the sparks may fall
there is stationed a man with pail OF
water to put out whatever fire may
