He said that he made no reference in his remarks, to Tammany hall or to Bishop Potter and his reform work, and could not understand why any one should have said so. He has no acquaintance with the leaders of Tammany and does not care whether they are Catholics or Protestants and feels that those who know him personally or by repu- tatiOn would never dream of accusing him of treating q subject in that man. ner from his pulpit He has decided to make an effort to find out the name of the person who sent out the report and if he succeeds. the end is not yet.

FURNITURE ON FIRE.
Stubborn Blaze in Boston Which
 Caused Loss of $15O,OOO.

Boston, Dec 5.-It took three5quar ters~ of the entire Boston fire depart ment more than two hours, in the teeth of roaring gale, to conquer stub- born fire ill the large furniture eStaD- HShment of Haywood Bros and the Wakefield Rattan Go on Portland and CauSeway streets, near the North Union sta ton, early this morning. Ac- tual fire loss was small, despite the fearful wind, when compared with the destruction caused by water to pieces of valuable furniture and other goods.
 The Wakefield company occupies an entire siX-story building on Portland street, and the upper stories of three other structures adjoining. The fire men, forced by the gale to fight the flames from inside of the building. gained access from all parts of the Wakefield establishment, running long lines of hose along the floors and open ing fireproof doors. This gave the floods poured on by the engines a chance to spread to all parts of the four buildings and for hours after the fire was out the water swept down stairs and dropped through the cell ingS like rain.
 The total damage is estimated at S15O.000. The loss by water is con sidered the heaviest that ever occurred at a fire in this city. Among the firms besides the Wakefield company who suffered damage from water and smoke are Cobb Bates & YerXa, retailgrocers, who occupied the entire ground floor on the corner of Portland and .Causeway streets, A. and E. l.. Shaw, W. B. Bad ger and c. w. Earnshaw. all furniture dealers. All parts of the Haywood eS- tabliShment were packed with finished goods intended for Christmas trade.
 It is not known how tne fire start ed, but it had gained such headway when first seen that in view of the gale. five alarms were given, as not only tbe block in which the fire started but the north end of the city at one time was in danger. The loss includes $15.0OO to Haywood Bros and the Wakefield Rattan Go. who have insur ance of $6O,000; Cobb, Bates & GerNa. grocers, $25.000: insurance $2O,000; C. w. Earnshaw. A. B. X F. l..
