ltctmltcd In ,0(H) Loss.
Fire, which originated from some
unknown source early this morning
resulted in damage to the Methodist
Episcopal church to the approximate
amount of yi, 00b. The lo.,s Is fully
covered by insurance. The fire was
first discovered by iiedestrians short
ly after six o'clock, and at the timo
was confined to the roar ot tho struc
ture. Marshal B. Kenton, who was
one of tho first men to arrive at the
scene secured a garden hose, and for
a time it looked ns though ho would
conquor the flames wlthuut the assis
tance of tho fire department. Unfor
tunately, however, the small stream
of water 'proved Inadcq'uate, and the
flames soon aprond to the roof and
tower of tho church. , Aftor u brief
delay, .the result of an erroneous re
port to tho effect that the flames
had been extiiiKU. ihed, the flromen
arrived at the t.oao, and with throe
linos of hose In pir.y soon extinguish
ed tho blaze. Knrly arrivals on tho
ground succecdt'ii in saving the piano
as well as many of tho seats und
othor fixtures. A survey or the Ill
fated building this roronoon shows
that the roof is practically ruined,
while the Interior of tho church suf
fered more or lci-s damago. Although
mnuy theories have been advancod us
to tho causo of tho fire, it Is goner
ally believed that tho flumoa Ignited
from a smouldering ash pile at tho
rear of tho Btruc.uro. There was no
fire In the chur.'.i yesterday, accord
lug to Hcv, Macju.i, and consequent
ly tho flames en 1 not have ignited
from a defoc'.'.ve ilue a.i first suspect
ed. The bo-.-d of dhtetors of the
church nre today undecided ns to fu
ture action, hut it may bo possible
that a new stune or brick edifice will
ho erected. The directors have con
templated tho building of a new
church for some time past, nnd as a
result of this morn'ing's flro, the.
work may ho commenced at once.
Owing to tho fact that tho flro oc
curred late this morning, a large
crowd assembled to witness the efflCf
lent work of tho department which
reunited In curbing tho loss to tho
minimum. 1
