DISIOVKIIED HY A SMALL BOY.
Tr.- fire was discovered shortly after
12 o'clock, just after the congregation
bad been disrniseeil from tbe morning
service. Dr. Taltnajfe was in the church
shaking hands witb Borne of tbe c u
gTegatiot when a small bo rushed in
thechnreli through one of tbe opau
doors and informed the sexton, James
Day, that he hd a -en smoke romiuir
ont of tbe windows of the Wav-rly
avenue si.J . of the rhnreb. Mr Day
without speaking to Dr Talmage,
rnshid down stairs to the motor room
and U'gan making a thorough examin
ation Altai searching around all the
corners of tne room and not being able
to bml nny indications of fire, he ran
uu .'tnir. As ha entered the church
he taet Dr. Talmage with Dr. Moody.
They I. ad also smell-d smoke.
The boy who first entered the church
and informed Mr. Day of tbe fire, then
Tolniiteered to go op in tha bad: of the
organ to see if it was vhere. lie did
r, and a second later he appeared be
fore the geOtlfBeO who were wailing
for him. with his face blacken! and
nlinost snffooated from smoke. All lie
conld say was that be discovered tbe
tire in the lark of the organ. Dr. Tal
lage, Mr Day and Mr. Mooly then
started lor tbe organ, but before they
could get near it, a gust of 11 .me broke
frcm the top The gentlemen then
niade a hurried exit.
In the meaiiliine.ex-Supervisor Bawd,
who was in the Snminertiild Methodist
Episcopal church, directly opposite
from tne tabernacle, had also seen the
smoke coming from the tabernacle win
dow and had sent in an alarm of Bit,
Ur the time the firemen arrived the
il'imis were bursting front all the
church Windows. Two extra alarms,
and finally a sii'( ial call were sent in,
bringing all of the engines In Brooklyn
end Williamsburg to the' fire. The
flames spread with lightning rapidity
and the sparks flew iu all directions.
The Interior of the chnrch was it
seething, muring mass of 11 iiiws inside
of thirty minutes after the fire was dis
covered, and by 1 o'clock tbe roof and
the handsome stoeple had fallen in.
HOTEL ALSO HL'UNKD.
Great jots of tlania shot nerns-i the
open space, between the tabernacle and
the Hotel Regent, which is next to the
cburcb on Clinton avenue, and in a
short space of time that portion of the
hotel nearest the church was burning
fiercely.
The Regent is a family hotel. Tho
guests Hod in dismay. Home of them
stopped to throw their valuables and
clothing from the windows, while
others hurried to places of safety just
as they hsppsued to be apparelled
when the panic struck them, At the
time of the fire there wero eighty-five
guests and ninety servants In the hotel,
and many of these bad narrow escapee.
The fire extended to the hotel between
the first and second floors. Before the
employes gave the alarm they at
tempted to get it under control. The
fire anon spread up to the third and
fourth floors, however, and the gnosis
end servants rushed pell tnell into the
aire. ts.
There- were two ladl-a dn the hotel
who hrd to Lo carried out On the
filth floor, Mrs. Loomis, of Savannah,
Ga., was lying ill with her young baby
'few days old, She wiicarriod safely
ONCE I
URNED OUT
from the burning hotel, and with her
child was removed in an ambulance
to the hospital. Miss Kean, tbe assist
ant housekeeper of the hotel was also
carried from the building. She had
just passed tnrough a severe illnesB, but
was convalescent,
The flames spread rapidly through
the hotel, and it ton was soon afire
from cellar to roof. The firemen then
devoted their efforts to save snrround
ing property. A number of dwellings
in the vicinity can-.rlit fire again and
again, but the firemen each time
flooded them with water an 1 extin
guished the flumes. The Snmmervillo
Methodist Episcopal church at Greene
and Washington nvennes, alio caught
tire from flying sparks, but the lliuies
were soon extinguished. Tho n timer
oils small fires coiitbuou until 4
o'clock.
The tabernacle and Hotel Regout
were completely gutted. The total loss
la itdmatedata little over $1,000,000.
The loss on the Hotel Regent, inelud
log tbe building, paintings ntid the
guest's household goo Is will amount to
about $000, (KM) The loss on the tab
eriiaolo is about nMOO 000, and the ad
joining buildings are reported to be
damaged to tho i xtont of $50,000. It
I" sai I that the hotel was insure 1 for
(800,000,
Pour firemen were overcome by heat
during the progress of tbe tUm-s and
had to be removed from the scene. All
subsequently recov r.'i. It ia sup
posed the tire was caused by it ipsrk
from one of the electric light wires bj
bind the organ in tbe tabernacle.
Dewit; Talmage added tiist he was
unable to tell whsther the lire would
interfere with his future plana. He
had intended to leave Hroikhn tomor
row evening on his tuiiim-r trip to
Europe. He did not know this after
noon if the disaster would d"lav him
