They were ably assisted by several young
men in the neighborhood and much of the
property was saved.
Firemen Work Hard.
The firemen, in the meantime were on the
slippery slate roof directing the several
streams of water upon the flames. For sew
eral minutes the fire threatened to assume
serious proportions, but the firemen stuck
to their work and succeeded In getting the
flames under control before the blaZl, reach
ed the main building of the church. 1t was
not until the smoke had cleared away that
the firemen and others could get an idea OF
what amount of damage had been done.
They then saw that the colored men and
their volunteer assistants had removed
much of the interior fittings to a place of
safety, and that there had been little dam
age except TO the building itself. Some lit
tie damage was done by water to the walls,
carpets and benches.
While the fremen were fighting the
flames the hose of No. engine company
broke and delayed the work for a few min
utes. Pieces of slate and burned timbers
were TIN own from the roof, and several
firemen narrowly escaped injury. While
the heat the space between the ceiling
and roof was intense and the strain upon
the firemen was severe, the heat In the
lower part of the chapel was not severe,
and the valuable stained glass windows
were not damaged, as was feared at first.
Chapel Built in 1889.
The chapel of ST. Thomas Church was
erected about 1899, and the church proper
built about six years ago. The first
pastor of the church the Rev. DR.. ]. A.

Sixty craftsmen in the office of the SUI

lost their positions. They were laid on
because OF lack of work In the Office.
The large appropriations for public build

A Half-Hour Of
FareweIls.

Washington, March 20 Tie special
session Of the Senate was at $3.50 sat.
urday adjourned without day. All OF
the nominations sent in were confirmed
With the exception Of five, the most inn
portant Of which was that Of Judge
James Wickersham, to succeed himself
as Judge of the district court in Alas
ka. Several uninmportant treaties were
ratified, but beyond these matters no
legislative business was transacted Most
OF the session was devoted to the san
Domingo question and the consideration
Of treaty under which it was pro-
posed that the United States should
take over the control of the financial
affairs OF the Dominican government in
order to pay its indebtedness. The Dem
oeratic opposition prevented the ratiiica-
ton Of this treaty.
There was practically no discussion
Of the Dominican question in executive
session of the Senate Saturday. Before
the doors were closed an effort was made
70 secure the adoption of resolution
offered BY Senator Teller, requesting
tie president 20 send to the Senate
correspondence leading up to the nego-
tiation OF the Dominican treaty. Con
sidcration Of the resolution was inter-
rppted by a motion made BY Senator
Cullom that the Senate go into execu-
tive session The doors were closed at
li09 p al, and the Senate at once took
mp certain nominations aud proceeded 70
confirm them. Practically al the bust
ness OF this character WAS concluded be-
fore p. M, aud committee, consist
ing Of Senators CuIlom and AlcCrearv.
was appointed to wait on the president
and inform him that the Senate was
ready TO adjourn No motion had been
made TO reeommit the treaty and ii
was allowed to remain in the calendar.
IT will be the pending business III ex
ecutiye session when the Senate next
meets, whether it be in special OF regu-
lar session.
The Senate was continued iii special
session three DAYS because Of al in
Nestigation made by order OF the presi-
dent in relation to certain iudgeships
IN Illinois and q controversy over the
nomination for internal revenue eolIee-
tor IN Vest Virginia. These matters
were disposed of soon after the doors
We're closed. While the committee to
wait on the president was performing
its duties Senator Spooner called up tho
White House and took up with the
president the appointment of district
attorney in Wisconsin. The president
agreed to make the appointment and
there was another delay of nearly an
hour while the commissin was being
filed out and hurried to the Senate. !
This matter disposed OF, the Senate
adjourned sine die, and the senators
passed q pleasant half hour OF more ia
