? o'clock yesterday afternoon TO the
corner of Second and Main streets.
An awning covering one of the win
dows of the law office of Bawden and
Thuenen in the McManus building
had become ignited and was soon de-
stroyed Just how the blaze started is
a mystery. 1t is presumed, however
that one of the tenants upon the up
per floors threw a lighted cigar stump
ont of window and that in its descent
it fell upon the awning and in this
way caused the blaze.

Another church in Moline will soon
be without minister. At the regu-
lar meeting held Wednesday night Rev.
w. c. Spencer, pastor of the First Bap-
fist church, rendered his resignation,
which will take effect the first Sunday
in November. Not one of the members
had the least suspicion that the pastor
would make a move of this kind. and it
| is regretted by all. Everyone pres
at the time was shocked and
greatly surprised at the pastors act
ion. Rev. Spencer was forced TO re-
sign, owing to failing health. For
some time he has been suffering with
throat trouble and he thinks that a
change of climate will be of some bene-
| fit to him. He has no plans for the
future and cannot say where he will
go. He will retire from all active
work for some time and take a much
needed rest. which perhaps will i'm
prove his condition. No action was
taken with the resignation, but the
matter will be brought before the mem
bers next Sunday morning at the con-
clusion of the regular morning service
