Neither Pastor Nor Chief Of Fire Dept. Places
 Any Credence in Rumors Or Fire Bugs Activities
Blaze Evidently Started in Boiler Room, They Say May Have Been Burning Several Hours.

The Stanley Memorial church on East street was badly gutted early this morning by fire that did dam age estimated hy Chief William J. Noble Of the fire department as about $s.nn0.
 The fire was discovered by some rndentified person at h15 o'clock this morning, and an alarm from Box 23s brought Engine companies Nos. 1, , and E, and the chemical truck Of the No, 2 company to tho scene A stiff breeze blowing at that hour caused the dense smoke to blow to the eastward, and when the fire. men of Engine company No. came out from their house, which is only few hundred feet away from the church. the impression was that tho blaze was either on Newineton Road {, or Rhodes street, and the company hastened to that locality, only to dis cover the mistake.
 The person who turned In tho alarm did not wait at the box to di- rect the firemen In the meantime, Engine company No ? had reached the scene. and had water playing into the edifice before the Engine con- pany No. laid it's hose.
 A Mass of Flames
 The interior of the building was . seething mass of flame when the fire men arrived, particularly at the south part of the structure. The fire evil dently started in the boiler room, and burned it's way to the pillars, finally reaching the blind attic. The roof, which is of shingle construction, quickly ignited. The firemen were forced to break through a heavy door on the southeastern corner of the building. Four streams of water were turned into the building, and at 6:45 o'clock the recall was sounded.
 Interior Is Ruined
 The entire interior was badly dam-e, aged by fire and water. The greatest fire damage was done in the center of the building. A large hole is burned through the floor and the contents of the basement, consisting Of chairs and q piano and some other thinps, suf- piano and some other things, suf- places in the building less damage was done. The kitchen and minis- 'ei Stuuy' were 1Ot materially dam- aged other than by water.
 Memorial Window Saved
 Towards the north of the building On the main floor. is the organ which was erected about three years ago, at an estimated cost Of $S,0o0. The or- gan motor and bellows were damaged to the extent of about s1, 1,O00 One of the particularly gratifying acts of the flremen was the saving of large memorial stained glass window which Is just back of the altar and pulpit.
 Started In Boiler Room
 After the fire had been extinguish- ed, Chief Noble examined the build ing and it is his opinion that it start ed in the boiler room. The janitor of the church, owing to the warm weather. did not attend to his usual 1uties about the furnace, having banked the fires on Sunday. There s some electrical wiring in the boiler room, and it was the impression of
