j; THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, ' WEDSDAY, JANUARY 14 189L if, MAKIRG A GJUWEFIGHT Iter. J. R. J. Milligan Kot at All Divisive in His Defense Before the Pittsburg Presbytery. A VERY COXCEXTRATIYE EFFORT. Both Sides on Their Mettle, Dancing on the last nd Platform, and In terest Does Sot FIaj. SY.NOD AXD CODUT DECISIONS ALIKE. Prof, w"sca Etys the Ltiett Mutt Se Segtrdcd u Lw, for the Time. The Covenanters who are hunting heresy in their racks, yesterday put in another day at Wilkinsburg, this time Bev. J. It. J. Milligan, of Allegheny, being the trial. To many who teem to think the Cameron ians, Covenanters, or Reformed Presby terians as they are now called, are overly zealous in their efforts to keep the lines of church doctrine intact, a brief history of the organization may be interesting, as ex planatory of the rigidity of the prosecution in the present case, for it is simply in liue with thenever-say-die character of the body, conceived in the throes of the days when it cost much to progress and practice religious dissent from a church which ruled by the strong arm of the law. They were first called Cameroniaus. from Richard Cameron, an original leader, and Covenanters, from the covenant made in 1638. The action of the English and Scotch Parliaments in regard to conventicles and the legalized persecutions under Turner, Dalziel and Drnmnioud; the famons writ of law burrows issued by Charles II. in 1670; the intercommuning expedient of Lauder dale and Sharp, and the execution of Mitchell in 1079. exasperated the Covenant ers, and they felt impelled to unsheath the word ot the Lord and Gideon. They made a stand at Bothwell bridge, which ended in disaster. A Proclamation With a Long Title. In 1680, Cameron and Cargill met at San quhir on June 22, and put out "A Declara tion and Testimonial of the True Presbyte rian, Anti-Prelatic, Anti-Erastian and Persecuted Party in Scotland." They proclaimed war, denounced Charles II. as a traitor and usurper, and protested against receiving the Duke of York in Scotland. Only 66 men could be mustered to sustain the declaration, but they evidently considered that possibly the race might not be to the swift or the battle to the strong. They made a stand at Aird's Moss on the 20th of July following, when Cameron and several of his followers fell in a skirmish. Curgill escaped, and continued to preach in woods and fields. In 1681 the Royalists added the test and the Covenanters denounced it at Lanark, on January 12, 1682, and again affirmed the Sanquhar declaration. This was re peated in 16S1 and in 1685 on the accession of the Duke of York as James IL They supported the Prince of Orang in his long contest against the House of Stuart, hut were displeased on account of the form in which the Presbyterian Church was re stored. The Covenanters opposed the union of England and Scotland. Their distingnishing feature in all their career is that their backs are so stiff that ibey usually break and scarce ever bend, and in this instance the Presbytery holds the Church to be but a schism if it allows the deviation claimed by ths defendants. 2so doubt if the controversy were to con tinue, and no more ol the original body left than the band that backed Cameron, the remnant would go down with colors flyins, and when it could no longer say "scissors," make the motion with its lingers. Two More Preachers on Trial. The Pittsburg Presbytery of the Reformed Presbyterian Church met again in "Wilkins burc yesterday morning to try Revs. J. l:. J. Jllllican, of Allecbeny. and A. " McClurkin, ot Sew Alexandria, charged with pursuing divisive courses in takinc part in the East End meeting which built the objectionable plat form, one which the regular Covenanter con siders too broad. Dr. David McAllister, of the Eijthth Sti eet Church, resumed the Modera tor's chair, and Trot. D. B. Wilson, of the Theological Seminary, and Rev. A. Kilpatrick continued the role of prosecutors. The ac cused were strongly backed by sympathizers. The suspended ministers, the two Millijrans, Temple and Samson were present, but Rev Heed was not. They did not appear to have lost flesh. Rev. J. R. J. Jlilligan demanded a severance and was backed by ilr. McClurkin. and after some sparnnggot it. The Moderator gave Mr. Milligau a chance to retract, but he preferred atrial. As to the necessity ot such trial there were sharp passases between Rev. Milli-an and Dr. George, of Beaver Kails, and Prof. Wilson. Questions of veracity were raised, and the Moderator charged Rev. Milligan with captiousness in denying some of the state ments of the prosecution. The result or it all was that the charges were entertained. The libel was declared relevant, that is if proven it constituted an offense. Rev. Milligan excepting at each stage of the proceedings. D. t Martin, a presbyter, presented a memo rial sisned by 2yo members of Rev. Mllhgan's hurcb remonstrating against tho prosecution and expressing high regard for him. It was read, alter a hot discussion, and it was agreed to allow a deputation to plead his cause. 'Will iam Martin opposed, strongly insistiog that the memorial was a misrepresentation. How Mr. Milligan Was Favored. Mr. Milligan fared better than the suspended five, having tne line of argument of the prose cution and a whole month in which tofcrepare his defense, and all who heard him agreed that he bad made good use of his time. Preliminaries were not finished when tho time arrived lor noon lunch. The afternoon session was opened in the usual manner by uraver and roll call and then the representatives of the Allegheny conn eca tion were given half an hour to express dissent to the libel charging Kev. J. R. J. Milligan with following divisive courses etc. Martin Prenter spoke first. He said, amon other things, that the action of the Presbyterv had sent a thrill of horror through the concre gatinn. It had testified its esteem for Mr Mil ligan since the late trial by raising his salary from S1.S00 to $2,100 a year. NeveFin bis i paZ torate, said Mr. Prenter, has Mr Milligan uttered a sentence reflectm- on e dctnn, or practice of " the K. P. Church on the subjects under dis cussion, or any other, since the questions at issue were discussed in the church He asked if Chriot was not following divisive prac tices when He dismissed the woman at whom accusers feared to cast stones lest they lay themselves open to the charge of inconsistency. Pruf. ilson raiseJ the point that the con gregation should not try the case, but merely be allowed to rallv round their pastor Moderator McAlister decided that full lati tude should be allowed to the congregation for the half hour allowed for representation. Mr. Prenter went on then to say that as a Rcfo'med Presbyterian be claimed the right to cover tho wholoran-e of controversy. He asked that the libel be dismissed as tho only hope of the continued well-being of the Allegheny congregation. He said they conld not spare their pastor, as good pastors were scarce. Can't Be Picked Cp Every Day. There might be some to spare at the semi nary, but the speaker wanted Rev. Mr. Milligan cut home to his wife and congregation. Good pastors cannot, said Mr. Prenter, be gotten on demand in an intelligence office, and Mr. Millisan is now a better ono than ever, as he has gotten a wife. Mr. Prenter was somewhat humorous and caused considerable laughter by his remarks, wnen the Moderator rcDukod thoso who laughed, stating ir they felt the sorrow and were imbued with the solemnity of the occasion and its gravity tbey would not langh. James Rest, an aged man, merely testified to tbe esteem with it hich Mr. Millican was held by his congregation, and indorsed all that Mr. Prenter had said. J. R. Gregg said the petition for Mr. Milli- gan's retention and the dismissal of the libel contained at least three-fourths ot the names of the membership. They demanded positive proof of tho charge, and nothing short of it would satisfy them. He urged that the prose cution was the result of tho scheming of some people, and denounced the action of the Elders' Convention, concluding with the state ment that to deprive tbe congregation o! its pastor was a crime and a scandal. James Macaw agreed with all that had been said by other petitioners. The libel was then taken up again, and Rev. A. Kilpatrick opened for tho prosecution. He stood on tbe broad ground that while the Bible did not in express words denounce the keeping of saloons speak-easies, eta. it did by its gen eral teachings, and gave a gauge by which the right and wrong of all actions conld bo meas ured. He quoted from the practice uf the apos tolic lathers and the primitive church to show that church authorities must be recognized as arbiters In differences of opinion on church polity. In reference to the United States Con stitution, Kev. Kilpatrick said that all Chris tians would not agree that it was immoral, but neither will all Christians admit that saloon keeping is wrong, bnt there Is no uncertain sound given forth on the subject by the Re formed Presbjtenan Church. Prof. I). B. Wilson, the other prosecuting at torney, followed. He held that no hardships bad been imposed on tbe offending ministers bv demanding as a basis of settlement that they withdraw from the objectionable organization that fulminated the East End platform. Dr. Wilson held that the December trial and what it had produced roado it only more apparent that bow ever paint nl the ordeal might be there was no chance now for compromise, and less for retreat on the part of the Presbytery. Harmony fot to Be Had. Harmony has been found impossible. "Can two walk together unless they be agreed," in matters fundamental.and the difference hero is fundamental. Panl exhorts to mark carefully thoso who cause divisions. He contended that full faith and credit must be giren subordinate ecclesiastical authorities and standards. Mr. Milligan objected to Dr. Wilson ranging over the wnole ot the East End platform when but one specification from it was contained in the libel, but the Moderator ruled that tho whole structure might be occupied. Ho said the accusation made by Presbytery was that the teachings of the platform were subversive of the doctrines of the church, and expected to wake it good. Wear told tnat the doctrine of tbe church on tbe subject of political dis sent is that it is a mere difference of private opinion. Both cannot be right. Either Sjnod is right or these brethren are light and former declares itself on the subject with no uncertain sound. Tho Lord Jesus Christ is the supremo head of the world, and must be so recocnized by civil governments it tbey are to receive the snpport of Covenanters, as other wise they are immoral, as passed on in the testi mony of the Reformed Presbyterian Church in 1800 and in 1S00. In the former year the church purged itself of slaveholders. The law of the church rnled, and for GO years no slaveholders communed in the Covenanter Church. Tho fathers' testimony is applicable to all lands and to all constitutional governments. As tbe na tions are now copying the Constitution of the United States, Dr. Wilson holds thai tbe action of the Reformed Presbyterians in demanding: tbe recognition of Jesus Christ as the head of this nation is of more importance than at any previous time. The sccedcrs of 1S33 held that the African slave trade having been abolished the institu tion wonld die, and that the protest was no longer necessary, but tbe events of 1861-65 showed how far they were wrong. But the seceders of 1833 did not take the ground occu pied by these Drethren that tbe principle was yizht, bnt should not be enforced, (l'he ac cused of 1891) deny this assertion or Dr. Wilson). Dr. Wilson held that there was no option in tbe matter. The Church was forced to move in this matter whether it would or no. The parties to the East End platform agreed, said be, "agree to maintain these principles." printed their declaration and circulated it for signa tures, and they do not manifest any recret therefor. All the Church asks is that tbe min isters i e tract, but they refuse, and say thev are not sorry for their act. Cheers, soto voce, of the suspended "That's sol") Cut Themselves Adrift I"roin the Church. Dr. Wilson There'is but one alternative: To abandon their position or to be cut off from tbe church. The church is Presbyterian, and these men have cut themselves adrift. Referring to tbe East End movement as an organization banded together. Rev. Mr. Milli gan made tbe point that tbey were not charged with being an organization. Dr. Wilson I'll not answer that question. Rev. Mr. Milligan All right. und will never use a backsliding church to do His work. Ho will raise np other men to do it, Tho question is forcinc itself on tbe minds of men. The attempt to force the Bible out of the public schools and declarations of snpreme courts that Christianity is only a sect are working in men's minds, and they will do the work that God requires, and a backsliding church will have no Hand in it. As Charles bumner once said when asked to look on the other side of a qution, replied: "Why, there is no other side." There is no other side in this case. The Republican party is to-day suffer ing because it lack i men among its leaders who have the courage ot their opinions. Convic tions accomplish, not opinions. Rev. J. R. J. Millizari began by compliment ing the Moderator and one of the counsel. Rev. Mr. Kilpatrick. for their fairness, and stating that tic forgave the venom of the other prose cutlng counsel. Prof. Wilson. He then asked the clerk. Rev. W. R. Laird, to read the basis of the agreement between himself and the committee. The Moderator stated that the settlement then had could not be recognized by the Pres bytery. Mr. Milligan then made a 'statement in which be said lie had been misrepresented in statements made by the clerk and publish d by the prosecutor to the effect that all' had been done looking to settlement that could bo douo and without effect. He said those publications are not applicable to my case. I will not say tbey arc untrue He then rehearsed the pro ceedings between himself and the committee which gave him the right band ot fellowship. Thought Two of Them Wore Free. He held that there was a full understanding ot the matter at that time. He understood that the five young men were to be tried, but thought he and Rev. Mr.McClurkcn were free. He complained that bis statement was twisted so as to convict him, and said: "lam not yet so imbecile as to let other men put words into my mouth and use them against me." Rev. Milligan said he agreed with all tbe cround taken by R-v. Kilpatrick and most of that occupied by Prof. Wilson. However, he wonld not agree that the fundamental princi ple of the R. P. Church was political dissent and held that while not defending the East End platform, yet it was not opposed to tbe doc trines of the church. He asked to be tried on his merits and not on statements published in the R. P- Conner, or made by any one else. He asked for consistency and said he'd as soon vote with a man who votes for an officer to exe cute law as with one who votes for an amend ment to the Stato Constitution. He said some Covenanters acted as though they thought if they could onst a few liberals from thn church they conld then get the action of lb89. which allowed them to vote on the amend ment, rescinded. Ho believed the church to be on an inconsistent basis, as it should not ask a man to vote in one way and not in another, "it is the church that is changed, not L" Mr. Milligan reminded his hearers that covenanters sometimes encourage Prohibi tionists in their course, and wanted to know if that was held to be following a divisive course. Assuming all the charge to be true, be said it amounted to nothing. He said be bad been charged with one thlug and did not pro pose to be convicted of another without pro test. In conclusion Rev. Milligan rubbed down the Elders who held the convention, bis language verging on harshness, and pausing a moment be added that ho wanted them to absorb what he said. The conclusion of the argument was eloaueut and it was followed by clapping of hands and stamping of feet, which action Moderator McAlister renroved sharply. Professor Wilson replied briefly, holding that Rev. Milllgan's charge of inconsistency was no argument. He allowed bnt one basis of settlement and held that the seven brethren should have accepted it and confessed their error. He charged that tbey had gone bacK on their agreement. Said be: "We want the public to understand that we do not Interfere with men's private opinions and thus I brush this aside." While a vote for an amendment may be all right, yet he who votes for officers takes the Government as it stands, and cannot be a covenanter. He did not vote in the Constitutional amendment. As to Synods changing their decrees, civil courts did the same, but tbe last was held; to be law. Prof. Wilson said his opinion regarding tbe Constiutional amendment was substan tiated by the fate all temperance work bad met at tbe hands of the United fe'-atos Courts in the original package decisions. As to tbe divisive courses charged against the East End conventiomsts, Prof. Wilson asked if the atti tude of the secular press toward the covenan ter church and tbe falling off In church con tributions were not sufficient proof. Too Much Talk to Leave Much. The session ended at 9 o'clock last night, to be resumed at 9 o'clock this morning. Some said it would last all day, but Prof. Wilson hought not. as be said thei e could not be much added, and he said bU argument yesterday would have been mnch shorter bad it not been that so many members of tbe court were pres ent who wero not on hand In December. As on tli o former trial, tbe house was packed and the interest unabated. In fact, all not im mediately interested found the arguments of both sides educating. 'Made Two Attempts at Suicide. John Crcely was in the Twelfth ward station house Monday night lor disorderly conduct. He thought the world was not big enough for him so he tried twice to assist himself out at the cud of a rope. He first used his shirt, but when caught he inauo tbe second attempt by tearing up bis trousers. 8 SEARCH FOR A SITE. Mammoth Plans Under Consideration by tho Tableware Trust. WAHT A CEKTRAL ESTABLISHMENT Hope Revived for the Success of the Thompson Gloss Company. DAILI GEIST PE03I LAB0E CIRCLES "Without waiting to see what comes of the "Window Glass Trust, the manufacturers of tableware are forging ahead with their pro posed combination, and if the present plans are carried out the concern will soon be in good working order. At a recent meeting tbe agreement by which about 1ft firms are included in the combination tras signed, and plans for its operation were discussed. Officers have not yet been elected, but it is expected that an other meeting will be held this week, at which they will be selected, and other im portant business will be transacted. Some of those interested in the combina tion are enthusiastic over a mammoth scheme which, if adopted, will centralize the manufacturing capacity ot all the firms to one point, where the headquarters ot the combination will be located and where the whole business will be managed. By this, it is meant that it tbe suggestions of a lew are adopted, after the organization is com pleted and officers elected, a committee will be appointed for the purpose of looking up a suitable site where plenty of gas can be had lor tho location of a huge plant where all the ware handled by the combination will be made. A Place "With Lots of Gas Wanted. At the last meeting this matter was thoroughly discussed, and while it was thought by many that it would he difficult to find a place where the gas would be likely to hold out several favored it. The matter of the cost of erecting and maintaining such an es tablishment was also taken into consideration as an unfavorable factor, but it was thought all difficulties might be overcome when the people get down to business. Ainoug the local firms said to be interested In the combination are Adams it Co., Atterbury & Co., George Duncan & Sons, 'Jones, Cavitt& Co., the King Glass Company, McKee fc Bros., O'Hara Glass Company. Ripley & Co.. Roch ester Tumbler Company and tbe Windsor Glass Company. It is of vital importance to Pittsburg and to the workmen here whether or not tho talked of central factory is built. The number of workmen in tho city would be greatly reduced by a suspension of work at tbe local establish ments and tbe removal of tbe interests of tbe various firms would affect the city commercial ly and financially to a coasiderable extent. Mr. John C. btevenson, of Ripley fc Co., was seen yesterday. He talked very confidently as to tbe success of the uew concern, while dis claiming any knowledge oi the details. He said tbe agreement bad been formally entered into, and details will be arranged at a meeting to be held shortly. He admitted that the cen tral factory scheme had been talked over, but be did not know what the outcome will be. Tbe Thompson Glass Company, Limited, whose works at Uniontown have been idle for three months, seems to be getting on its feot again. A meeting of tbe stockholders of the company was held on tbe Southslde. yester day, where the following directors wero elect ed: Thomas Miller, President; John A. Sel bert, John H. Nnsser. J. M. Schafer, John W. Dontbett, Frank W. Stono and Charles Zim mer. Trjlng to Regain Its Foothold. This company has a capital of 5100,000, but it was unfortunate in meetlDg with various ad verses at Uniontown Tho gas company of that place refused to furnish fuel, and the glass company immediately went into court to com pel tbe fuel people to continue tho supply, bnt lost the suit. An attempt will be made now to get assistance 17om the people of Uniontown. It has been decided to asK them to make up a three-year loan ot 20,000, and name,a citizen of tbe place to act as director, to sco that tbe money is properly ?nd judiciously expended. The di rectors have voted to pay in SS.000 to help put the concern on its feet, and they expect to havo the establishment in operation again within the next three or four week". As the company gives employment to over 300 men it is not thought tbey will have any diffi culty in getting the. oan from the Uniontown people. The company is composed almost en tirely ot Southside people. Ex-Alderman Scbafer. one of the directors, said yesterday the company would have been in good shapo had it not been for the trouble they had with the gas company, but they expect to get over the difficulty and continue their business with out further interruptions.

Tbe difficulty is still unsettled, and it is hard to say when work will ba resumed. A representative ot tho firm said yesterday tbe mill could remain idle three weeks without much loss to them, owinc to the depressed con dition of tho market of their chief product, muck bar. He said further that the firm had no intimation of a -strike when tbey shut down the mill. MORE TROUBLE WITH GAS. Carnegie, Phipps & Co.'s Works Making Less Than Halt Time. More trouble has been experienced with the gas supply at Carnegie, Plnpps &. Co.'s Thirty third street mill The puddlers are only able to make two and three heats daily, instead of five.

A. 3, K. of L., and that matters will be arranged so that lie can do the work at night. Master Workman Evans said last night that tbe greater portion of the work is done at night, anyway, and the Master Workman will attend to the dnties in the daytime.

As he would Dot give his name, he was therefore given the name of "John Doe." He wears a large number of spurious coins and numerous aliases. Among the latter are "Pant," and John W. ClarkT He was caught while trying to pass coun terfeit money, and had a number of spurious coins in his possession. The police are only waiting to hear from the different parts ot the country, and think the arrest may lead to the capture of some gang of counterfeiters with whom Doe is working. On Monday night John Doc entered the grocery store of- Henry Becker, at 1107 Penn avenue. He bought 5 cents worth of candy and threw down a half dollar. It had not quite the ring of the shiners turned out from Uncle Sam's mint, and the grocer donbtedits commercial value and refused to take it, saying the coin was not good. Had More of the Same Kind. The man at once affected to be angry, and declared the coin was perfect. "Why," said he. "it Is as good as any money you ever saw. I've got plenty more of the same kind," ho ex claimed, throwing a whole handful of similar coins on the counter. They were all exactly alike, and Mr. Becker refnsed positively to accept the money. The man then went out. but Mr. Becker followed him and ran to Officers Peoples and Conley. He told tbo story, and boon after tbe man was arrested on Llbertystreet. He was taken to tbe patrol box at .Eleventh and Liberty streets. Several times on the way the man attempted to get something out of his pocket, and when the box was reached he threw the half dollars on the street. The officers, however, mado a search, and succeeded in finding soven of tbe spurious coins. When Central station was reached, the prisoner was searched and the officials found 7 in greenbacks. 25 ID-cent pieces and 30 nickels, all of which was good money. The man showed he was not an ordinary crook by refusing to tell anything, not even his name. He did not even attempt to make any explanation of how be came to have pos session of so many bad coins. The finding of so large an amount of small change on his person, coupled with the further fact that he offered a half dollar in payment for a 5-cent purchase, led the officer to believe he bad been successfully passing the coins in order to secure good money in ex change. Had to Be Registered as John Doe. United States Detective ilcSweeney was notified of the arrest, and at once, began an in vestigation ot the case. His prisoner, however, was a dry snbject, and not a word could be got ten from him. As he positively refnsed to give any name, "John Doe," a well-known legal ap pellation, was given him. Shortly after this christening he said his name was John W. Clark, but, of course, that was not believed. In tbealternoor tbe detective bad the pris oner photographed and his photographs were sent to all the Government detectives in the country asking tor information about the fel low, Yesterday afternoon he was given a bearing before United States Commissioner McCand less. Thii hearing had the same result for no information was obtained and the prisoner was committed to jail for a f nrther hearing. ADDITIONAL TEACHES EEFDSED To the South Snb-Dlstrict by the Board of Education Decrease in Attendance. On the recommendation of the Committee on Text Books and Course of Instruction tbe Central Board of Education, at its meeting last night, decided to create the office of Supervisor of Drawing. The election will bo made at the next meeting. At present eacb school has its own system of teaching drawing, and the art has suffered through lack of a uniform method. The Committee on Teachers and Salaries re ported having refused an additional teacher to tbe South Sub-District. The school has enough pupils, but some ot them are non-residents and are not counted in the apportionment of teachers. Mr.Mclilroy.alded by Dr.McCandless, made a strong fight for the teacher. Air. ilc Elroy said that ail their non-rosldent pnpils are children of city taxpayers. He thought it bard that the children of Americans were not treated at least as well as children of men who were.nor, and never intended to be citizens. Mr. Buckley replied that it was not a question of American or foreign birth, but of city residence. It made no difference if a child was American or Chinese, to which Mr. Mc Elroy replied: "Well, it ought to." Mr. McElroy said their non-resident pupils would pay tuition fees sufficient to pay an extra teacher, if tbe board would take the money and settle with the teacher. Ho was told that the Central Board could not do this, bnt there was notbmgto prevent the local board from doing so. Dr. McCandless wanted to know how tbe First ward got fonr teachers when tbe school hasn't enough pupils to eutitlo it to ono teacher. Mr. Horgan, of tbe Fifth ward, an swered that the school had but two teachers, whereupon Dr. McCandless unloaded tbe bur den on Mr. Trosch of tbe Eighteenth ward, nhom he said bad given him the information. The position of the committee was sustained. Superintendent Lucky, reported 2(1,864 chil dren enrolled with an average attendance in December of 22,781. Ibis is a slight decrease in attendance, the bad weather keeping many of the children at home. In the High School the enrollment was 811 and the average attend ance '43. Secretary Reisfar reported ex penditures in December of $39,719 41. John T. Lougbran was admitted as tbe repre sentative of the Monongahela snh-districr, vice Thomas Kernan, who was recently killed.

Evans & Co.'s Warehouse Scorched Severely A Member of the Firm De clares a Firebrand Was Thrown Into the Cellar The Loss About 818,000. About 4:15 o'clock yerterday afternoon fire alarm No. 13 rang, and it was soon learned that the warehouse of T. G. Evans & Co., corner Third aveaue and Market street, was again on fire. The fire three weeks ago gained little headway before it was extinguished, but not so with yesterday's fire. It started in the southeast corner of tbo basement, and, before the firemen had it nnder control, bad cleaned out the basement and first floor, and a good deal of the stock, consisting of lamp?, glass and cbiuaware wis destroyed by the force of the water from tbe bose. To make things more exciting, L. H. Layton, a member of the firm. as soon as ho appeared on the scene emphatically declared that the fire was an incendiary one, and Lut a repetition of an attempt to burn tbo building three weeks ago. While the firemen were working on the fire. Inspectors McAleese and McKelvv. Assist ant Superintendent of Police Roger "O'Mara, Special Officers Fitzgerald and Carrigan and a number of other members of the police depart ment commenced looking around for anything to substantiate Mr. Layton's statements and catch the fire fiends, if such there were. Chief Steele soon saw the lire was going to be an ugly one, and engines answering the second alarm were soon on the ground and tbe men at work. The hose was turned right into the front of the building on the different floors, and tho smashing of costly glassware and chinaware sounded like an infantry fusilade. It was just 5:10 when tbe fire was rung oat and tbe time of reckoning came. The building occupies Nos. 213. 215, 217 Mar ket street, and is owned by the Scnenlev estate No. 217 is of three stories, and Nos. 213 and 215 of four stories. The firm of T. G. Evans fc Co. is composed of T. G. Evans, F. E. Kvans and L. II. Layton (father-in-law of the other mem bers of the firm). Tbo stock of tbe company was estimated by Mr. Lavton to be worth about $10,000. several large shipments of goods hiving jnst been received. The loss Is variously eslimated from $10,000 to $18,000. fully covered by insurance, placed mostly wnb J. W. Arrotr. Tbe damage to tbe building, an old one. will not foot np a very large amount. Speaking of the tire, Mr. Ijayton said: "I can acconnt for the fire in no way unless it was incendiary. I believe it was set afire; I am sure of it." "Has the firm any enemies!1' was asked. "Every firm has. I believe tbe other tire was the work of some person, too. We never allow smoking in tbe building, and tbe corner where tbe fire started was just cleaa out to-day. You notice that tho transoms to the basement are all open, as we have been putting in some new woodwork. Well, there was some straw in that corner that had just been taken out of a box, and someone has deliberately thrown a fire brand through the opening." DIED IN HARNESS.
