MAYER CHAPEL BURNED
TT WILL BE A GREAT Loss TO PEo-
PIE OF THAT SECTION.
The Building Completely Destroyed,
the Loss Reaching $2,1OO-
Used by Kindergarten.

The Mayer Presbyterian Chapel, at Nor
wood and West streets, was destroyed by
fire about o'clock last night, causing
a loss of about s2,100. The fire started in
the basement from an overheated furnace
and had reached such Roadway by the
time the department reached there that
their efforts 20 save the building were I'M
availing. The whole inside of the building
was burned and 1t cannot be repaired.
The fire, besides causing a great loss to
the church, will occasion great inconven-
fence for the women of that section of
the city for the reason that the rear of
the building was used for the South Side
Free Kindergarten School and mothers,
as a rule, sent their little ones to the
school to keep them out OF the way while
doing their work.
1t is also said that many of the poorer
people sent their children there because of
lack Of sufficient fire at home, while there
was no lack of suffjcint heat in the school,
room The fire caused great excitement
and especially among the children, who
came from far away to watch the flames
The building was one erected by the As
ISOLATED Presbyterian Churches and was
used for a mission, the Rev. Clifford Nc
Bride being the pastor in charge The
church society suffered a similar, but
smaller, loss about four years ago on the
same site.

COLD WAVE HOT AIR"
A Severe Storm Is Said to BE Headed
This Way.

The second cold wave of the year which
has been expected to fall upon Indianap-
oils did not arrive yesterday and is still
many miles away. but 1t is said to be likely
that its force will be felt here to-mor-
row. The delay is owing to the reduc-
ton in the speed with which the storm
was travelling. Advices from the North
west country indicate a temperature OF
about 40 degrees below zero there. 1t is
possible that the warm storm" as 1t Is
called. prevailing now I'm this section may
be sufficient TO overcome the effects of
the storm in the West and hold il back
The weather yesterday was unusually mod
crate so closely following the cold spell
and contained no suggestion, TO other than
weather prophet, OF a coming cold wave
of great severity.

A DYING MAN RELEASED
LENIENCY EXTENDED TO A WORK.
HOUSE PRISONER.
Harry Peele, Sentenced for Stealing
Bicycle, I'm a Serious
Condition.

Judge DAILY, of the Police Court, last
night, at the solicitation of the work
house officials, signed a release for Harry
Peele, who was yesterday thought TO be
dying. Peele was sent to the workhouse
in August last with total of $40 days
to serve. for stealing a bicycle. Efforts
were made to locate his relatives last
night.
A letter from his father, dated at Lin
wood. Ind. was the only clew that could
be found. Peele claimed his residence as
London, o. He was unable to talk yes
terday. being unconscious, and it was
feared that he might not rovive. He has
been in poor health since he entered the
workhouse, but the attack yesterday was
very sudden. The worlxhouse physician
thought he was suffering from a tumor
on the brain.
Last night two patrolmen sought Judge
DAILY to present the matter to him, and
finally found him at one OF the theaters.
When he understood the urgency OF the
case he promptly signed Peeles release.

BRIDGES TO COST 100000.
Chairman sahm Says They Are Needed
Over White River.

In all probability there will be another
ordinance introduced in the Council before
long to provide a bond issue to build two
new bridges. Chairman Sahm. of the Board
OF Works, and Mr.. Mcguire, a member of
the board, announced yesterday that the
board is now considering the building of
new bridges of the latest models at Wash
ington street and River avenue over White
river. The kind of bridges that the city
would want said Mr.. Sahm. would cost at
least 100000
Mr. Sahm said the city needs the bridges
badly as the West Washington-street
bridge is a disgrace to the city and is
really unsafe. He said If 1t were allowed
tc stand there may be a very serious ac-
cident there some time, as the structure
is dangerous and not strong enough for the
heavy traffic that passes over it. A bridge
is also needed at River avenue, according TO
the members of the board.
Chairman Sahm said that nothing definite
had been done in the matter, as the ques-
ton was only being discussed. The princi-
pal obstacle in the way of the building of
such bridges is the question of paying for
them. The members of the Board of Works
realize that the city is practically bank
rupt, and. while new bridges are needed
there is no money TO pay for them, and this
year the fire department and City Hospi-
tai have to receive attention before other
improvements are contemplated
