s90,OOO Edifice
 Now in Ruins
SUFFRAGETTES BLAMED FOR
 BURNING OF CHURCH.
WOMEN IN BUILDING
Vicar Saw Them, But Supposed They
 Were There for Lawful Purpose Another Attempt to Explode Bomb.

. London, May 6.--While the members of the house of commons were enter ing parliament this afternoon to dis cuss the womans suffrage bill, news boys thrust extras at them an- nouncing what seems to be the most destructive work the militant suffra- gettes have yet accomplished.
 St. Catharine's church at Hatcham, in the southeast of London, one of the finest church edifices in the suburbs, caught fire soon after noon in mys- terious way and burned so quickly that an hour later only the charred walls and few of the pews remained, al- though the fire brigade worked hard The fire was watched by thousands of spectators.
 Edifice Cost $9o,ooo.
 The interior of the church was like a seething furnace a few moments af- ter the flames were discovered. The roof fell in half an hour afterwards and the tumbling masonry seriously injured a fireman.
 The church was built in 1893 at a cost of $90.000. An expensive chancel and stained glass windows were added later.

 The vicar. the Rev. Howard J. Truscott, when asked about the cause of the fire. said: $

 Three Women Seen in Building.
 The vicar visited the church at noon, when he noticed three women in the building. He supposed them to be praying. He now believes that they arranged the fire and thinks explosives must have been used because of the rapidity with which the flames spread.
 The vicar managed to save the rec ords of marriages and baptisns.
 Attempt to Explode Bomb.
