listened men of the Hospital Corps of H.
struction, at the Washington Barracks.
The blaze, starting from detective hue
which ignited the rafters under the caves
in small attic at the rear, soon spread
throughout the entire building, which
was practically destroyed. The loss will
amount to about 81, 800, which is not
covered by insurance. The destruction
of the building left about 100 soldiers
without shelter, and there was adoubliDg
up of the men at the Arsenal. A pecu-
liar accident occurred to engine No. lf
which put that piece Of apparatus out Of
business, and necessitated special call
being sent in for No. 6 engine. In max

cessful, and constant stream of appli-

Cardinal Gibbons Barred From
Church

Baltimore, Nov. 14.-A remarkable
ahront was offered to Cardinal. Gibbons
yesterday afternoon by congregation OF
his OWE church. The Cardinal was not
only refused admission to St. Stanislaus'
Catholic Church, but was rudely jostled
from the church steps by the excited
members of that Polish congregation.
The insult was the outcome OF the re-
moval recently by Cardinal Gibbons Of
Rev. Father Morys, rector of the church.
as the result of scandal. Father Morys
recently had cousin and brother priest,
formerly his assistant, but subsequently
pastor Of charge in Scranton, Pa, ar
rested on charge of writing obscene let
tiers to Father Morys' housekeeper. The
charge was subsequently withdrawn, but
because Father Morys had instituted
criminal proceedings without the cardi-
NAILS consent the latter removed the
priest despite the request of the parish
toners that he be allowed to stay. The
congregation has. not taken kindly to
Father Marzenski, who was appointed to
succeed Father MOrys. The storm,
however, was believed to have blown
over, and the cardinal, to please the
congregation, consented to oficiate at
yespers yesterday on the celebration Of
the twenty-ffth anniversary OF the
church. Despite the fearful weather
the cardinal kept his appointment.
When the carriage drove up to the
church there was large crowd about
the steps. As the crowd was proceed
ing up the steps he was jostled down by
number OF excited Poles. Father
Barabacz, Polish priest, very popular
in that section, came to the cardinals
aid, but was similarly treated. The
cardinal then went to the priests house.
Police officers offered to give him escort
to the church, but the cardinal declined.
