THE GIFT OF GEN. WOOD.
What General Bliss Testified To, Be.
for the Senate Committee.

Washington. January 6.-The AssoC-
testimony given by Brigadier General
Tasker H Bliss. U. S A, VIXEN he was
recalled before the Senate committee
on military affairs to give evidence in
the Wood investigation concerning the
admission of the Jaf Alai gift free OF
duty, abO which controversy has
arisen. General Bliss was recalled at
the request Of Senator Hanna, who
asked whether the silver service given
to General Wood in 1902, at the TIME
OF its passage through the custom
house. was the property OF an officer
of the United States army. General
Bliss answered that he so understood
1t. A request a een made that the
package should be fastened in its pas
sage through the custom house.
Senate Hanna inquired from whom
the information came and was told by
General Bliss hat 1t came by telephone
from the clerks office at the palace Or
the governor general. General Bliss
said that when he learned that a pack
age would be received for the milit try
governor he had given orders to facil-
itate its passage through the custom
house. Senator Foraker asked If Cen
eral Wood had anything to do with
the order. The witness replied: mot
in the least"
81 thought you said that the order
came to you from the palace" remark
ed senator Hanna
General Bliss repeated that he aad
received the message from a clerk liz
his office who had received 1t over thf
telephone from the palace.

FIRE IN A CHURCH.
st. Paul's in G%Oldsboro Damaged tl
the Extent OF $1,000.
Especial to The Aessenger.)

Especial to The Aessenger.)
Goldsboro. IN. c.. January IA Ere
in st. Paul's church last night just af-
ter the Edzerton-Borden wedding did
considerable damage. 1t was not dis
covered until the large congregation
was passing out of the building, which
is considered a very fortunate circum-
stance. AS it was there was only abo
fifty people in the building when the
alarm was given. There was an imme-
date rush for the doors. The crowd
surged into the vestibule and the outer
doors. which opened on the inside, were
closed on account of the surging crowd
and a panic was narrowly avert5d by
the GOODNESS of some of the party, who
succeeded in reopening the doors and
the crowd passed out without injury to
any one.
The opening in the floor through
which the church was heated from the
furnace in the cellar was closed dur
ing the wedding ceremony by an ashes
tos covering. The first intimation OF
the fire was a small blue flame which
had burned it's way through the floor
near the urnac opening. Almost inn
mediately smoke was issuing from the
floor in several places. When the fire
department reached the scene the build
ing was too full OF smoke for any one
to enter. A hose was inserted into
one of the ventilators on the side of the
building and as if by chance the steam
Of water struck the spot where the fire
originated. The indications show that
the fire was caused by a spark from
the furnace flue which fell into a pile
of dry wood near the furnace. The
floor CT the church had to be torn up
in several places and the costly carpet
is ruined completely. 1t is impossible
to estimate the exact Mount of the
damage, which will amount to some
thing like $1,000 and is fully covered by
insurance.

In the sudden and untimely death
of Captain A. B. Williams, our COM

useful and beloved citizens.
In every relation Of life, whether
in the home and social circle or
placed in charge OF public interests.
he rose TO h full measure of his
responsibility. and discharged every
duty with fidelity and zeal.
Brave, but not to rashness. public
spirited and progressive, but not Wis
ionary, he was an important leader,
for the last quarter Of a century. in
every movement looking to the adj
yancement of the material and edu-
catiOnal interests of this section. OF
broad and liberal views, possessing
a genial and attractive personality,
he extended such q welcome TO the
stranger who came to cast in his lot
with us as made him feel that he
was really at home in our midst. His
large-heartedneSs, his open-handed
generosity, his hospitality, his kind
ness to the poor and helpless, his
self-sacrificing devotion to the good
Of others. won for him the affection
OF all who came in contact with him.
Take him for al in all. he COM
bined in himself to a remarkable de-
gree all those elements which enter
into the makeup of the ideal citizen.
, We mourn his death as an ire
parable loss to the city and county,
and We hold I'D his life and example
to our young men as an inspiration
to follow his footsteps.
But in our deep sorrow. we would
not forget those VINO were bound to
him by the closest of human ties, the
wife who IS bereft of a. gentle and
loving husband, the children who
have lost a devoted father, and we
tender TO them u warmest sym
