FIRE IN BICYCLL S1 ORE.
setlow Brothers of Court Street suffer
 $1,OO0 Loss.

SetlOw Brothers of Court Street Suffcr
 $1,OO0 Loss.
 Fire completely gutted the bicycle store of Setlow Bros. at 1S3 Court street, between 6 and o'clock last evening. The blaze was fierce ons for a time, but after the fire deDart- ment arrived it was soon gotten un- der control The origin of the fire was not clearly learned, According to the statement of one of the Setlow Bros, he lighted a gas jet, and inadvertently the match was thrown into a box which contained the remnants of some bicycle packing material Instantly the whole place was in flames.
 The store is in the Steinert building, owned by Morris Steinert but owing to the quick work of the firemen the flames did not get beyond the one DOT ton of the building The whole stock of the bicycle store was destroyed, In the cellar were a large number of old-fashioned pianos, which were high ly prized by M. steinert, who recently opened a branch of his piano busi- ness in the adjoining store.
 The damage will probably amount to $1,O00 in all.
 The Setlow Brothers firm consists of Isaac and Henry Setlow, and had in- surance of $1 100 on their stock.
 This alarm was the first since the heavy snow storm struck New Haven, and the quickness with which the fire companies responded to the alarm was remarkable. The call proved heavy strain on the horses, and it required ali their strength to pull the heavy ap- paratus through the deep snow. Court street is one of the worst in the city after heavy snow storm. When the homeward start was made 1t looked as though the heavy truck of Hook and Ladder No. 1 would be stalled but the fremen put their shoulders to the wheels, and with this help the big black horses moved their heavy load out into Church street, where the wheeling was easier.

MOVING TOWARD SOLUTION
INDIRECT P0URPARLERS FOR sETTL LEMENT OF CHURCH FIGHT.
Latest Move Between the French Gov ernment and the Vatican Takes Form of Model Contracts--These Issued Late Last Night--Minister of Educa- tion Briand Proposes to Meet Case of Individual Preacher.

ticn Briand Proposes to Meet Case of
 Individual Preacher.
 Paris, Feb 6.-Although the word negotiations" between church and state is avoided, indirect pour-parlers are progressing rapidly under cover of the statements issued by various pre- lates as to what they are prepared to accept, to which Minister of Education Briand replies by means of circulars to the local officials indicating the desires of the government. M Briand points out in this method that the desires of the government are subject to modifi- cation to suit local circumstances, or the wishes of the contracting parties, So long as there is no departure from legality.
 The latest move toward a settlement of the conflict between the government and the vatican has taken the form of model contracts. These were issued at a late hour tonight, and in them the minister of education proposes to meet the case of the individual preacher or the common law association in taking over a church from the commune when it is municipal property, or, from the prefect when it belongs to the state. These model contracts follow the lines indicated in these dispatches two days ago, They declare that "the prefect or the mayor, the latter acting on the au- thorization of the municipal council, grants to the clergymen or to the asso- citation, the name to be inserted, the gratuitous use of the church and it's contents for eighteen years on condition that the property be kept in proper re- pair This contract may be annulled should worship be discontinued for six consecutive months, unless by force majeure."
 Where a clergyman becomes the les see a clause is inserted showing that he is acting under the authorization of his bishop. In the event of this cler- gyman becoming disqualified to carry out the ceremonial of the Catholic re- ligion, the sanction of the authorities is required before his successor can take up the lease. Should an association lease church stipulation is made that the edifice must be placed at the disposal of qualified Catholic clergy man, and the name of the first priest must be inserted. It is not necessary, however. for an association to obtain the approval of the civil authorities for the appointment of a successor to this priest in the event of disqualification, death or removal. If the clergy accept the contracts suggested by M Briand they will virtually be assured, for as long as they obey the law, of the per- manent and gratuitous enjoyment of all property held by the church under the concordat, while at the same time the authority of the hierarchy is rec ognized.
