siderable Damage.

A FIRE, which was discovered about
o'clock yesterday afternoon at Harris
vile. destroyed barn and a building
containing a saloon and tenements, total
valuation $4,000, about half of which Is
covered by insurance.
The buildings were owned by Alexander
Breault and occupied by his son. John.
Alexander Breault was the first TO dis
cover the fire, which he did when going

mediately gave the alarm. and neighbors
soon assembled. who helped TO remove
the horse. wagon and other things 10 a
safe distance.
IL was hoped at first that the fire could

efforts of the volunteer fire brigade the
blaze spread 10 the saloon and tenement
house. The furniture and saloon fixtures

HIS SERMON.
Bishop Muldoon breaches a
Blessed Sacrament Church.

The members connected with the parish
connected with the Church of the Blessed
Sacrament Mount Pleasant we're ad-
dressed yesterday by the RI Rev. j. Il.
Mudoon OF Chicago.
Bishop Muldoon was former resident
Of this city and is here on a visit TO his
parents. lie is auxiliary Bishop OF Chi
cago, with 1S5 churches in his diocese,
the seating capacity of which is larger
than that OF any other diocese in the
world.
The subject OF his sermon was:
Blessed are those who sec things which
you see and blessed are those who hear
things which YOU hear"
He said I'm brief: III one desires the
blessings of Jesus Christ they must
follow the examples lie set before them
practice the doctrines He taught and
lie must follow such teachings because
they contain the essence OF life and
come from the son OF God.
Those who enjoy the fullest blessings
are those who practice the teachings of
Jesus Christ from the motive OF pure
faith without the present personality.
The poor and downcast can by the
drinking in OF the spirit. make life beau
tiful, and the beauty OF each individual life
Is not necessarily what the world thinks
or values ~ at, but rather how much OF
justice is found I'm each individual soul
according 10 the appreciation OF AL
mighty God.
The rich banker or the poor mechanic
may live in this faith and enjoy the
blessings OF Jesus Christ.
"To appreciate or enjoy these blessings
is OF more value 10 humanity than were
the wisest or richest. when the spirit OF
Christ is not I'm such wisdom Of wealth" ."

Larchmont Yacht Club. New York.
Aug. le.-For the FIRST time In nearly ten

this morning OF some fine smart racing
between the Constitution and the Colum-

A strong IL knots northeast wind was
blowing straight up the Sound, bringing
with IL thick mist and roughng up the

mist, very little could be seen on shore.

seemed 10 be getting thicker and while
the wind still held true from the north-

COVENTRY.
Two Interesting Features 0eGu-
pied Attention Of tho People.

Yesterday was noted for two interesting
gatherings In Coventry. one of these
was the annual camp meeting at Greene,
where everything was serene and pleas
ant and the other the ball game between
the Livlngstones and Quidnlcks. on the
grounds OF the former team where things
were not so serene or even pleasant. The
camp meeting attendance on Big Sun
day was not az large as on former oc-
caSions, while the crowd az the ball game
at Washington was the largest that had
ever witnessed game in that village.
over 500 tickets were sold and large
number OF ladies were present.
The Quidnicks and Livingstones were to
play series OF three games. the first
having taken place on Aug. II on the
grounds Of the Quidnicks, where they
were defeated by the livingstones. Yes

Washington for the second game with

eXpected-the fans were not disappointed
either. IL was doubtless the most hotly
contested game that WAS ever played In
Pawtuxet Valley, and the Livingstones,
after going through severe ordeals, came
out the big end of the horn, so II seems.
Up 10 the ninth inning the game was
nip and tuck and when the Livingstones
came to take the last and their last turn
at the bat the score stood; Livingstones,

THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

The stock market was strong TIN oughout the
day under the influence OF buying for both
counts. Official announcement of the death Of
the Queen had effect on values. it
generally believed that international relations
would in no way be disturbed by the accession
of the Prince OF Wales TO the throne. OF course
Wall Street may believe differently to-day to-
morrow. Wall Street sentiment has been excep-
tionally mercurial in the last few days. and, at
the moment, it is useless to try TO predict from
which quarter the next Wall Street wind will
blew. The enthusiasm yesterday did not lead
10 particularly heavy transactions in stocks, al
though last hour trading reflected a decided
increase in commission house business. The
greater number of popular speculative favorites
were bid up at the opening. and. outside OF a few
reactions the Improvement was maintained I'M
til the close. Missouri Pacific broke sharply af-
ter its early advance, and the steel stocks were
heavy, despite remarkably bullish statement
by Mr.. Gates. Strength in the granger shares
was feature OF the final dealings Buying OF
the Pacific shares was good. and further active
demand for the Wabash Issues was noted.
Prices closed at about the best
Wall Street in a more cheerful mood. be-
cause it was reported that big railway deals
were on again and that important banking and
railroad interests had resumed operations in the
stock market. The extent of dealings, however.
indicated no wide public demand for securities.
and in many quarters the opinion appeared to
favor the idea that the advance in prices would
not hold. There is no reason in business condi-
tions for lower market values but II is not all
certain that the heavy sellers OF securities in the
last month will be willing to re-enter the market
at the current level. The sudden change from
the bear side to the bull side by a number OF
prominent spectators Monday has impressed
commission house traders favorably ard created
bull sentiment in place OF the dependency that
ruled at the close Of last week. Money market
conditions continue TO work in favor Of lower
lending rates, despite gold exports 10 Europe.
