Louis Znhncr's church: The new Episcopal church of All 8alnts, at 25lh and Howard streets, approaches completion, nnd tho Roosevelt organ Ib in course of erection, Within a month tho church will bo ready for service- It Is built after a quaint but attractive Gothic stylo, tho roof slopiug to the caps of tho windows, which are headed In trefoils. The large windows at tho chancel end and at tho west end of the church aro rich and ornamental. Tho bodies of tho windows at tho sides arc composed of square pancB of stained hammered glass in yellows and blueB and jeweled. Tho wainscot and roof aro composed of yellow pine, tho walls painted a terra cotta and tho organ case and pews are carved oak. The northwest corner has been tempor arily fitted up for a robing room for the surplice choir, hut next season it is pro posed to build a rector's study and a school at the southwest of the church, which will Include robing rooms. The exterior of tho church is painted a dark myrtle green, the roof being relieved with a band of dark red. Tho rector has been on the ground for somo months, anil tho choir has been re hearsing for a long time, consequently when the church Is open thero will be next to no organizing to do. Tho Water company his been censured for not furnishing a stronger pressure of water at the two recent fires. At Dentler's the stream harel) reached tho second lloor and at the School Furnishing Works it did not reach over thirty feet. Either there was not sufficient water in the reservoir nt the time, or the pipes wero blocked with mud, or the firemen did not turn on a full head at Ilia plug. If tho first be the case the company Is justly censured, otherwlio the lack of pressure was not their fault. One thing, however, Is certtnln, and that la that the town is raying for fire protec tion that it does not get, and the reason why should be made a subject ot immedi ate investigation. At Dentlet's a greater pressure was not needed, and at the School works it would have been of hut little use, as there was but ono singlo plug within reach, bo that only one stream could be ob tained. But the time may come when all the pressure and ill the water will bo need ed, and it will be too lato then to stop to Inquire what Is the matter. The Town Couucll should refer this subject to the Committee on Water, who should glvo it their immediate attention. In the mean, time all censure should be reserved until it is definitely ascertained where the difficulty is. From tho best information at hand, what Is needed is better co-operation be tween tho town authorities and the Water company.more thorough knowledge on the part of the firemen as tn the use of plugs ahd a better observance of the regulations of the fire department so that every man, woman and child will not attempt to glvo orders at a Hie. The Investigation should bo conducted for the purpose ot ascertaining what Is for the best interests of the town In securing tho most complete flro protection, and not simply with the object of censuring somo one for alleged bad management. Dealt Factory Hurtled. About five o'clock on Tuesday morning it was discovered that the desk factory works were on fire and in a little over an hour they were entirely swept away by the fury of the conflagration. Hie Friendship ar.d Rescue fire apparatus were promptly on hand foon afttr the alarm was raised but could render but little assistance ns they had not sufficient hose, and but a single plug to attach to. The loss Is about fifteen thousand dollars, covered by an in surance in the neighborhood ot $8000 mak ing the actual loss to tho company $7000. Tho caUBC of Ignition is shrouded in mys tery. Mr. Antes, a reliable man was the watchman of the works nnd divided his attention between them and tho Woolen Mill by the owners of which he was also employed. We aro informed that there were three stoves lu the foundry depart ment the pipes of which, Instead of being continued up through the roof, stopped short of it and discharged the smoke in the building and the inner surface of the room being lined with sheet Iron, no danger was apprehended. It is evident from the testi mony of thoso first present that tho fire originated in the foundry department cither from tho Inside, from theso stoves, or on the nuUlde through the act of an inrend- iary. Tho directors of tho company held a meeting on Tuesday evening and passed a resolution to commence tho work of re building at once. The Winona Hose car riage was not out. as the company bad not enough hose to reach tho Are, and owing to the difference In size, was unable to con nect with the leather hose, no reducers having been provided by the town authori ties.

Argument was heard in the U. 8. Circuit Court at Pittsburgh on the 2lst, in tho case of C. B. Brockway, administrator of li. B. Brockway, against the Connecticut Mutual Life Insuranco Company. The case has been In Court In various forms, being flrst taken there by D. F. Keyhert, who took out $10,000 of insurance on the life of B. B. Brockway. Beybert was defeated because he had no insurable interest, and he tried again on a forged note, and subsequently ou a forged will to set up an insurable In. Urcst. Many allegations were made at the trial and the jury, after a long- and wearisome bearing, decided in favor of tho Insur ance company. Tho case of Beybert against the Insuranco company was thus ended. A short time ago Charles B. Brockway, as administrator ot bis father's estate and representing his heirs, brought suit against tho insuranco compauy to recover tho amount of Insur anco. The defendants filed u demurrer to the suit of tho plaintiff, and in the Circuit Court an argument was held upoc It.

Of course we are getting to that ago In life when wo are forced to believe llfo itself is a humbug, and naturally distrust anything that has not withstood long and tried ex perlences.
