SEAFORD FIRE RUIN
WatChman Believed to Have
Been Asleep When Blaze
Broke Out
HISTORIC CHURCH
PREY TS THE FLAMES

SEAFORD, Del, Dec. 27.-One man
was burned to death, several were
injured and a number of iiremen We're
overcome by the heat in a mysterious
blaze that destroyed the historic
Methodist Church, j. A. Wright's ice
plant and adjoining buildings. When
the flremen arrived the blaze had
leaped TO the store and dwelling OF
Wilbur Kitchens, at the corner Of
Front and Poplar streets, and only
hard fighting on the part of the fire
department and men who assisted
them saved the building from de-
struction.
The dead man is James n. Kraft,
Of Bethel, Del. who had been em-
ployed as night engineer at the
Wright plant for several years. Kraft
was accustomed to set an alarm clock
to arouse him at a certain hour and
then go to sleep. His body was recov-
cred from the debris, near the Office
door. AS the fire originated In this
room it is thought It had burned for
some time before Kraft was aroused
aud that falling timber caught him as
he sought to escape. The injured men
are Roland L. Wright, J. Scott Hur-
ley, Thomas Messick and S. p. Fields
who were burned on their heads and
faces.
Shortly after the blaze had been eX-
tinguished at the Kitchens property
the roofs Of the church and ice plant
collapsed. The heat was so great thai
several fremen fell and came near be-
ing burned to death, and it looked as
though a large part of Seaford was
doomed to destruction. Terror was
then added TO the excitement by some
one yelling that the boiler and am
monia tank in the ice plant were
about to explode but the firemen stuck
to their posts, and after two hours
hard fighting the blaze was under
control. The losses probably will
reach $4,000, with about $4,000 in
surance.

The Church $ Battlefield.

The battlefield or the Catholic
Church is one and the same through
out the World-the early training Of
her children. For it is there that
Masonic sectories and other free
thinkers mass thu ir forces against
her. Not only Isl this so in Spain; it
is more prominently the case in
France, as the thousands of parental
defense associations that have sprung
up in recent years amply testify In
Italy it is becoming so every day more
and more. Again, in Belgium the COM
ing elections will turn very largely
upon this vital point, for the anti
clericals there have raised the cleo
pioneering cry that the Catholic Gov
eminent, which has ruled the land so
prCsperously for the past twenty-five
years, favors the Congregational
schools to the prejudice of the State
ones under it's care In England, too,
a similar battle is in progress. Surely
this is a fitting period for prayers,
Masses and frequent communions for
the souls of the young-that is to say,
for Christian schooIs.-Universe and

His Leg Was His Bank.

A Paris mendicant died in the hos
pital, and when his will was read it
turned cut that he was a man of
wealth He had curious idea for a
safe for his money. His will, which
left all his means to his sister, stated:
I'm my wooden leg will be found
5000 frances ($1,600). The remains
were exhumed, and, sure enough, the
money was found there in pieces of
gold. An accompanying paper stated
that the state of his leg was always
warned him when his means were
running out If he had to drag his
leg he could take the world easy, for
its weight showed that his treasure
chest was well filled; if he found the
foot light, he had to seek aims with
more energy. And he felt he was al
ways safe from robbers. If Moliere
had thought of this hiding place for
his miser's treasure, his audiences
would condemn him for a violation of
truth. But then the play would never
have been written, for Chante and his
valet would never think of amputat-
ing Harpagon's leg to find his sold.

when he told Rev Patrick O'Brien OF
Toledo that he had, before leaving
Washington, received a communities
ton from Rome informing him that
the diocese of Cleveland had been di-
vided and Toledo made the see city
of a new diocese.
Negotiations to this end have been
long agitated, and We're in progress
before Bishop Farrelly left Rome to
take charge Of the Cleveland diocese.
The eastern boundary of the new
diocese will include Wyandotte, Sen
AGA, Sandusky and Ottawa counties,
with the southern limit taking in Han
cock county and extending on the
west to the Indiana state line.
The Cleveland diocese now num-
bers 100000 Catholics, and has more
than two hundred churches with resi-
dent pastors The new Toledo do
cese will have 100 churches and 100,-
600 Catholic population
In the city of Toledo there are nine
teen churches. There is a fine Jesuit
college, st. John Berchmans, two Ur-
suline academies, a Notre Dame acad-
envy, st. Vincent's hospital conducted
by the Sisters of Charity, a Home for
the Aged in charge of the Little Sis
tiers of the Poor, and convent of the
Good Shepherd, besides sixteen paro-
chial schools.
Bishop FaTrelly will be administra-

bishop is appointed, which may not
be before fall.
