A DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

The Pattern Lumber Building of
BeIlaire Steel Company Was To-
tally Destroyed
A destructive fire occurred last
evening at the works of the Bellaire
Steel Company, which completely
destroyed the building and contents,
where their pattern lumber was stor-
ed, the loss amounting to about
s2,5OO
The fire was first discovered about
six O'Clock and an alarm was imme-
diately sent in, and the five hose COM
panies responded Immediately, the
chemical being first on the scene.
Owing to the lumber being dry the
fire soon enveloped the whole build
ing, and by the time the firemen ar
rived the flames made such Roadway
that it was not possible to save either
the building or contents.
The firemen worked hard and con-
fined the fire to this one building, and
deserve much credit for their work.
Mr.. Carnahan, superintendent of
the works, stated that they did not
know how the fire originated, but
supposed that it came from the
sparks of one of their own engines
used for hauling Stag. or C. L. G.
w. engine. The building and con-
tents burned very rapidly, and in a
few minutes after the fire was dis
covered the whole building was in a
Dlaze The fire will not cause any
part Of the works to close down, as
the necessary lumber can be easily
secured. This is the second fire this
plant has had in one year, the for
mer blaze destroying the electric
power house

Much to the disappointment Of a
crowd of spectators who swarmed the
Hobbies and corridors, there was no
meeting of Council last night. The Re-
publican members were in sufficient
number for a quorum in the First
Branch. Eleven members, four less
than quorum, answered to roll call
in the Second Branch. There was a
constant buzzing in the audience, and
the crowd was commenting upon the
caucus slate of the Republicans, which
had become rublic property.
Mr. Hamilton notified the Second
Branch that the First was organized.
and ready to proceed to business.
Word was returned that the Second
did not have quorum Meanwhile,
the pair of Mr. Warehouse with Mr..
Beu was announced.
The Second Branch members ap-
peared to be in doubt as to whether or
not the Democrats would show up. and
decided to wait. After about ten min
utes, both Branches adjourned.
Following is the report of City Clerk
OBrien, which was not read, but will
be submitted at the next meeting:

franchise, but it was not SO specifically
stated in the bill. They thought they
were acting intelligently, but they were
not. They were not assured that the
assets included the franchise.
Mr.. Rinehart's motion to adopt the
resolution and that their representa-
tives in the Legislature be notified that
the amendment is to be added to the
report was carried.
Secretary Thompson read a communi-
cation requesting that action be taken
for an appropriation for an exhibition
of our natural resources at the Buffalo
exposition Col. Thomas O'Brien and
Mr. Rinehart thought it not appro-
pirate for the Board to recommend it,
and after a brief discussion the COM
munication was tabled.
There was also a letter from the
Ohio Valley Trades Assembly, asking
them to instruct their architects 20 in
sert in the specifications and plans for
the new theater building request that
only union labor be employed on the
structure lMr. Rinehart moved to lay
it on the table. Col O'Brien stated
that it was not the duty of the Board
to so instruct the architects, as it was
not to be Board Of Trade building, but
thought that it should be referred to
the stockholders of the new company.
Mr.. Rinehart then offered substitute
motion which prev allied, instructing
that the secretary refer the Assembly
to the Board of Trade Building Com
pany.
Amendments to the constitution rec
commended by the board of directors,
were next taken up and provoked a
lengthy and heated discussion. One re-
ferred to the limit of representation of
companies or corporations which are
members Of the Board. MIR. Rinehart
thought that by the adoption of this
resolution that each company would be

the membership list, and together with
Col. O'Brien vigorously opposed this
sort OF representation, on the grounds
that there would be no one to repre-
sent a company in case the person
they had so designated would be de-
tanned elsewhere at the time of a
Board meeting. The secretary answer
ed both gentlemen, fully explaining the
amendment and stated that all the
firms had been notified OF this and had
respectively designated persons for the
membership list. Mr.. Mckee then sug-
gested that if the company's repre-
sentative should be sick at the time of
meeting that some one could repre-
sent him by proxy.
Col. OBrien and Mr.. Rinehart ia
vored this and the latter offered an
amendment that the words, ''or his
proxy" be inserted after the word as
ISOLATION in the resolution.
Another amendment which was
adopted increased the number OF mem
bers for calling me ,ting from five to
fifteen, and the number of members
for quorum from twenty to forty.

At the annual meeting of the Central

the necessity Of an expansion of their

some length, the fact being patent that
more room viii be needed in a short
time
The house is filed to its capacity ev-
cry Sunday now. This was the case last
spring when Rev. c. NJ. Sheldon's newly
acquired popularity was in its height.
It was expected that there would be
relaxation of outside interest after Rev
Mr.. Sheldon's return from his trip
abroad, but the same conditions con-
tinue to prevail and the problem of ex-
tension is brought up anew

eventually, although no definite steps

st. Petersburg. Jan. Ion Saturday
che representative Of the Associated
Press was informed on good authority
that Emperor Nicholas, from his pri-
waite means. had presented NJ DeWitte,
minister OF finance, General Kouropat-
kline. minister Of war, and Count I4ans-
dOrff, minister OF foreign affairs, 200, 900
roubles each, as an expression OF his
qualification over the development Of
1danchurian affairs, the protection Of
the railway and the suppression Of dis
Nnrbamces in Manchuria-
According to the budget the cost Of
the war to date IS 81. 0O0, 900 roubles- It
IS proposed to devote $50, 00O 600 roubles
TO railways in 1901 and not to negotiate
a loan. This favorable budget unques-
fionably strengthens NJ De Witte. and
st IS generally anticipated that the cxar
will siEnally recognize his services. Re
ports emanating from certain min
1steries assert that NJ. DeWitte will be
come imperial chancellor on the Russian
New Year with superior directive
powers over all the departments 90 the
government Some persons who are
usually well informed regarding such
matters doubt the story. which natural
" cannot be confirmed. At all events
Al DeWitte's star IS evidently in the
tascendancy- His love OF peace, his de-
termination to develop Russia's internal
resources and his protested American
sympathies are sufficient reasons why
the world and especially America can
congratulate Russia

he obtained from Mount Santo in Rou-

books, and, having had them tranSlat-
ed into Slavonic, forced their use upon
the Church, with the aid Of the
Car Alexis. in the place of those pre-
viously in use, the revolt began in earn

book, Nixon introduced cross with but
two beams new stamp for the
holy wafer, a different way Of holding
the fingers in pronouncing the blessing,
and a. new way of spelling the name
Jesus, to which the church was unac-
custOmed. In each of these changes
Nixon and his party really wished to
go back to the older and purer forms of
Greek ritual but many resisted the al
terations believing them to be inno-

Such was the beginning Of Raskol:
