PLYMOUTH CHURCH
BLAZE ACCIDENTAL
Investigation Fails to Reveal
Suspicious Circumstances
in Origin of Fire.

Fire Marshal Thomas Brophy, after
s1Cp. 900 fire in historic Plymouth
Chunch. on Columbia Heights. in Brook
lyn. said yesterday that so far as he
has been able to determine the fire was
accidental.
There were no suspicious circum-
stances connected with it," he said.
Marshal Brophy began his i:1vestga-
ton at O'Clock yesterday morning and
called several witnesses. None OF them
reported anything suspicious except
Samuel FLATS. negro fireman. OF At
Cumberland street. who has feen ON
ployed at the church for about week.
He said that he heard noises in the
Sunday school room shortly after /
O'Clock and WREN he went to investi-
gate he found flames coming from the
! janit6r'S room.
Fire Marshal Brophy said that the
noises heard by Flats were probably
electric light bulbs In the janitor's office
exploding either from falling TO the
| floor or from the heat. The Marshal
said the IRE evidently had started in
the cellar, working Its way upward
What started the fire has not heen IN
earthed. II Is the opinion of many that
| defective electrical insulation was the
cause. Another theory advanced was
that OF spontaneous combustion. The
Rev. Newell Dwight Hills. pastor Of the
! church, who was called from his sum-
mer home at Greenwich, Conn. said
that all OF the wiring in the church had
been in first class condition
! The damage done to sixteen stained
glass windows Is a matter of keen re-
greet to all members Of Plymouth
! Church Some of them were In the
church proper. the firemen finding It
necessary TO break them in fighting the
fire. Others were In the lecture room.
All were beautiful specimens of art as
we'll as objects of historic interest. The
damage done to them was estimated by
DR.. Hills to be about $4,000
a fine window of Henry Ward
Beecher facing Cranberry street in the
lecture room was completely destroyed.
A valuable oil painting of Mr.. Beecher,
also in the lecture room, was dana ged
badly. Some OF his manuscripts and
other historical documents relating to
! his life were burned. but most of the
Beecherana was saved. 1t was dis
covered that the old pulpit from which
Beecher delivered his sermons Is st!ll
! intact. IT was from this pulpit that
the clergyman, fighting slavery. sold

bill of sale for the negro girl is safe
