Fashionable Newport Want the Emf
nent Prelate Stationed There.

Washington, September 2l-It is
rumored in Episcopal church circles
here that Bishop Charles Henry Brent
of the Philippines, who was offered
and refused the bishopric of Washing
ton, may be chosen Bishop of Rhode
Island. The fashionable summer resi-
dents of Newport are anxious TO Sc
cure Bishop Brent for that diocese and
will doubtless urge the matter at the
Providence meeting today. Rhode
Island has been without a bisho,
since the death of the Rt Rev. Dr.
McVickar.
Bishop Brent is well known in New
England, having been connected with
two Boston churches before going to
the Philippines. AS bishop of the
distant island dependency, he has won
international fame, his work having
attracted the attention and commenda
ton OF President Taft and Others
high in the service of the government
Another clergyman mentioned here
IN connection with the Rhode Island
vacancy is DIR. Daniel Delaney Addi-
son, who has long been identified with
educational matters in the African
negro republic of Liberia, and who
was at one time trustee of the Col
lege OF Monrovia, Liberia

LIVERY STABLE BURNS;
HORSES PERISH IN FIRE
From FRIDAYS Daily,

a serious fire occurred at shortly
after midnight, resulting in the de-
struction Of the livery barn which John
r. Palon opened about month ago
at $40 South Front street, just south
of Odiard. & KNOTS factory building.
| The barn and all of it's contents were
destroyed, including sixteen horses and
SIX buggies, harness, feed. etc. Mr.. Palon
mates his loss at 81, 800, and carried
/ estimates his loss at $500 and carried
$1,000 insurance with Theodore Will
iams.r The building is owned by H. A..
| Patterson. and the loss to it will prob
ably be $500 to $1,000, with no insur

Fire Discovered After Twelve.
| The fire was discovered at about
twenty minutes after twelve o'clock,
and Officer Swedberg turned in an
alarm from box 35, which quickly
brought the entire department out.
Eugene Coy was one of the first to see
it, and at that time it seemed to be
confined to the very front OF the build
ing. How it started is a mystery, I'M
less some one dropped a cigar or Gig
arctic stub in the crack by the side
walk and it fell into the hay below
BY the time the firemen arrived the
building was a mass of flames. and to
save it was a hopeless task. The
horses were in the basement and were
sulfOcated in their stalls. and then their
flesh roasted by the flames The fire.
men turned on three streams of, water,
after laying 1000 feet of hose. in all,
and kept the fire confined. Sparks were
carried on the breeze over the rear Of
Odiard & Knoff's factory, and twice
! the roof OF the factory took fire. The
most dangerous time was when the
roof Of the livery barn fell in, causing
sparks and firebrands to fly about in
large numbers. Had there been a
strong wind blowing the firemen would
have had a much harder fight on their
hands. As it was, they worked until
I three o'clock. After the fire in the
building had been extinguished, they
turned the hay over and flooded it I'M
til every spark was extinguished.
| No one was sleeping in the barn
but Mr.. Palon has rooms nearly across
the street. Before he could arrive, the
horses were undoubtedly dead. From
their positions, several Of the animals
may have broken loose and run around
the basement before dropping down
overcome by the suffocating smoke
The sight in the basement this morn
ing was one that was sickening, and
Sanitary Inspector Ore insisted that the
animals be hauled out and buried in tho
animal burying ground as quickly as
possible, and this contract was given
to Fred Schwann. ~
Mr.. Patterson states that he will
I probably not rebuild the livery barn
7 If he builds it will be a store building
which will bring in better return and
not have such a high insurance rate
Mr.. Patterson states that the rate OF
insurance has been so high that he has
been carrying his own insurance risks
