BROOKLYN, X. Y., May 13. Just efter service et noon today, and while rr. Talmage was shaking hands with the members of his congregation, fireburst out betwen the pipes of the organ, and -within ten minutes the big tabernacle was doomed to total destruction. Adjoining: the church was the Hotel Rerent, eight stories in night, with a frontage of ninety feet on Clinton-ave. and extending back 200 feet to Waverly-ave. Che fire spread from the tabernacle to this hotel and then to the dwelling houses on Green-ave. and Waverly-ave., opposite the church. The wind carried the blazing cinders in such quantities In a southeasterly direction that the dwelling houses on Washington-ave., two squares away, and also the Summerfield methodist church were set on fire by them; but the greatest lots on any one of these structures did not exceed $13,000. The total loss, however, reaches nearly 52,000,000. The fire spread with lightning-like rapidity. Ex-Supervisor John Reed, who tvas rehearsing with the choir in the Eummerfield methodist episcopal church, two blocks in the rear of the tabernacl?, had discovered that the building was oa fire, and sent in an alarm to lire headQuarters. This was quickly followed by a second, third and fourth alarm, which brought out all the apparatus in the western district of the city. It was nearly twenty minutes before the firemen arrived n the scene, and half a hundred streams of water were turned upon the blazing pile. But the church was doomed, and every effort was devoted to saving adjoining property. In three hours only the bare walls of or.e of the costliest structures of Erooklyn remained standing. Hotel Resent Doomed. Long ere this, however, it became evident that the Hotel Rgnt was also doomed. The fire started here on the second story, but was speedily extinguished. Thi- proved to be only a temporary relief, for a little later flames t were discovered in an upper story, blowing fiercely up the air-shaft. The inflammable nature of the material and the preat nppn amphitheater of the tabernacle gave such a draft that the fire was forced into tha air In columns of glowing flames that made a fearful picture of destruction. Flakes of burning wood and red-hot cinders were shot up as from a volcano, and carried by a strong breeze, then swept through the air in every direction. Before long both sides of Grepe-ave. were in a blaze. So. too, were the houses on Waverly-ave.. but as fast as th-ey broke out the people and the firemen ex'cingulshod thorn. Then the walls of the tabernacle began to crumhl and fall, and the great ru h of flames which followed started the houses burning again, and at the same time flames were teen bursting forth from the roof of Summerfield meth'-list episcopal rhu roh

a short distance away. Within half an I hour the magnificent hotel was sen to j jiave joineu me i-iornat-ie on tne ma a to destruction and no water could reach the fire there. dnet All Escape. The gue?t3 in the hotel had lost no time In making their escape. They waited only to snatch up a few valuables and run, but wearing apparel and other effects had to be left to the greedy flames. From the fifth floor of the house Mrs. Loomis, one of th guests, and hr newly born babe, had to be carried down the fire escape to the street. A woman appeared at a window on the eighth floor, shrieking and waving her hands to the horror-stricken crowd below. She was brought down the fire escape in safety. The heat and the showers of sparks and embers had made the situation an extremely trying one for the men of the fire department, and one man, George. Cunningham of engine company 10, had to i carried from his post when the heat was the most Intense, but he afterward returned. John Gaffney of engine 14 had an epileptic fit from tieat prostration and was removed to the homeopathic hospital. After the flames had licked away the supports beneath nearly all the fire escapes on the north wall of the hotel it, with a large portion of the wall itself, fell into the mass of debris with a roar like a distant cannonade. This was quickly followed by the fall of a section about thirty feet in night on the Waverly-ave. side of the hotel and from that time up to 8 p. m. huge masses of the wallontinud to fall. At last accounts two more firemen, Edward Sheridan and John Kelly, of truck 10, had been prostrated by heat. Estimate of the Loss. The furniture In the hotel, which cost from $200,000 to $200,000 13 entirely destroyed, the tota loss on the building and its contents footing up in the neighborhood of $S.7J,000. The loss falls upon the Brooklyn hotel company. List of losses apart from the Tabernacle end hotel Regent Is about as follows: 3S5 Clinton-ave., occupied by Louis Ilersh. $2,500; 128 Greene-ave., Dr. W. II. Monmonier. $6,000: 130 Greene-ave., S.

W. Evans, $1,500; 309 Waverlyave., unoccupied, owned by Mr. Kalisbury. $300 ; 255 Waverly-ave., stable of W. II. Childs. 5500. Other buildings were slightly damaged. The loss on the hotel Regent is placed at $850,000 by the manager, but this will be largely Increased by the individual loss to the guests. The lo?s on the church is not far short of $500.000. Russell Sa?e, who has a mortgage of $125,000 on the church property, and is also the owner of the site on which it stood, is fully Insured. Mr. Sage sail this evening: "It is probable that the people of Brooklyn will come forward with a big subscription. The insurance will cover the rest. If they want to rebuild I will put no obstacle in their way. In other words, I will let the debt and interest stand over for an indefinite period. Let them rebuild on the Insurance mony and what they can raise in subscriptions and in other ways. I have nothing but the deepest sympathy for the church and its people, and above all I am imbued with the deepest affection and admiration for Dr. Talmage. who has been my uflose personal friend for many years. On this account I will do all I can to help them." Will Rebuild on Another Site. The trustees of the tabernacle tonight decided to rebuild the church, but not on the same plan. The insurance, the receipts and the money realized from the sale of the present site would enable them to pay off all their debts. Thn. according to the plan, they would raise $200,000, and within a year would begin to build. About $70,000. it was thought, would be sufficient to pay for a site, and a less expensive building would be erected. It was decided that Dr. Talmage's tour around the world should begin tomorrow as arranged. He will start in the evening for Philadelphia and proceed from there to Atlanta, Ga. Aft-r visiting some southern cities he will go to San Francisco and sail from there to Honolulu, then afterward to New Zealand, Australia, India, Spain, England and ether foreign countries. It was impossible tonight to ascertain the amount of insurance, but it is believed that the loss is far in excess of the insurance. It was learned, however, that there was $130,000 on the tabernacle in the Liverpool and London and Glob, the Royal, the Phoenix of Hartford and Phoenix cf Brooklyn and the residences damaged were fully covered. During the excitement a gang of thieves entered the residence of Counsellor Hurst on the corner of Greene and Clint on-aves. They drove the family out, despite the resistenee of Walter liurst, the son of the owner. The thieves took a basket full of silverware, about five hundred dollars' worth of jewelry and other articles valued at $1,000. DR. TALMAGE'S STORY.

He Ja It I ft Mystery Trlth the Lord Work in a, In It. Mrs. Talmage tells the following story of the fire: '"The doctor was still in the pulpit, shaking hands with the people, of whom there were nearly a hundred probably left. His back was to the organ. I was standing up at the end of the pew talking with Mr. Martin of Chicago, who wanted to see the doctor with messages from loved friends in that city. I looked up toward the ceiling and saw a tongue of flame, burst out between the pipes of the organ. I at once called aloud, 'Doctor, the church is on fire.' He turned and told all the people to retire, while he went into the study to get a few things. I waited for him at the door. The flames spread very rapidly so quickly that some of the trustees were overcome and had to be helped out. The doctor joined me soon after and we went down Lafayette-ave. to a friend's, where we remained until we could hear that friends in the Regent were out of danger and what prospect there was of saving any of the church." The doctor had-quite a reception at his home during the afternoon. Dr. Talmage made a graphic statement of the incidents connected with the fire. He said: "At the close of the church service I was standing at the foot of the pulpit shaking hands with hundreds of people from all lands. 1 was about through and walked toward the center of the church, where my wife stood, when she called my attention to fire springing out from the top of the organ. I saw at once that it was under full headway and my first impulse was to look around and soe how many people were then in the house, and, to my great joy, there were only about twenty people, pnd with twenty-five doors to get out through, I felt that they would all escape. "I then went into my study, back of lh platform, passing under the blazing piping, to got my hat and coat, and then 1 sail to myself, is it manly to run? No. So I walked up and down the study room, rejoicing that the fire had uccurrcl when there was no chance of a fatality. While in this sort of brown study a New York friend rushed into the room. and. taking my arm.' said: 'Get out of this room immediately or you'll not get out at all. One-half of the organ was already down and the fire had leaped to the roof. I saw that nothing could save the building and I came out." The tears wem coursing down the doctor's cheeks and his voice broke, a3 he told the s-tory, but in an instant he spoke with his old vigor. "There is mercy on top of the disaster. If it had occurred one-half hour before it would have been the calamity of the century. The church and all the rooms adjoining were packed with iople and th panic would have left the whole scene one of indescribable horror. Or if it had occurred two or three hours later whn the Sunday-school was in session there would have been a thousand households bereft in Brooklyn. Little children, helpless children, what would they have done? (Jod oared for them, and even in this calamity His mercy is infinite. "Personally 1 feel not the least item of disheartenment, nor less faith in God, nor less of hope for the future. This long procession of disasters is inexplicable like what occurs sometimes in a family, four or five dying from scarlet fever. It is Inexplicable. We must simply accept the fact. "Our church has been burned three times and it has always occurred on a Sunday. It is a mystery that I adjourn till the next world shall let us know. It is the Lord. Let Him do what seemeth good in Ills sight." When asked for his own opinion as to the cause of the fire he said emphatically: "Electric lights, electricity caused this fire, as it did that of the last tabernacle en Schemcrhorn-st." Continuing. Dr. Talmage said: "The fire may change my entire program and I do not think I will start on my trip around the world as I Intended tomorrow night. I, however, do not know what I shall do."

Although almost destitute, he returned It to its owners, Messrs. A. P.

At 3 o'clock this afternoon" seven armed men with Winchesters and revolvers rode into Southwest City, Mo., and robbed the bank, getting all the money the bank contained, between $3,000 and $1,000. They evidently came from the territory and were experts. They did the job In a very business-like manner. Two of them were stationed on the sidewalk, three entered the bank with a sack and two others guarded the horses. About one hundred shots were fired by the robbers and four prominent citizens were badly wounded. J. C. Seabourn and O. L. Seabourn were both shot through the groin. Mart Hembree had a leg broken by a bullet. S. F. Multon, United States marshal, received a flesh wound in the leg. The robbers were about ten minutes in going through the bank. Afterward they mounted their horses and started for the nation at a full gallop. As they were leaving the outskirts some one fired several shots at them, killing a horse and wounding a robber. He Immediately secured another horse from a farmer who was passing and 'followed his pals. No resistance was offered by the citizens. The wounded men were thot while standing on the sidewalk. A posse was made up and have started in pursuit, but the robbers have a good lead and will probably get away. Ik BEST"CITIZENS TOOK PART LY.ciii.G of (ii:oR(;i: hose by a KANSAS 31 OB. He Had Murdered Assistant Postmaster Knhl of Cottonwood Fnlla The Victim of the Mol S trust tp to A Ilridec The Proceed! kSTRONG CITY, Kan., May 13. The great excitement which prevailed all of Friday night, and which nearly culminated in the lynching of George Rose, the murderer of Assistant Postmaster Karl Kuhl of Cottonwood Falls, but which was finally subdued by the cooler judgment of the best citizens of the vicinity, broke out afresh last night, and about 11 o'clock a mob of fifty masked men marched to the jail and called Sheriff M unlock to the door. As soon as the sheriff opened the door he was overpowered by the masked men, who placed pistols to his head, and conducting hint1 to the door of the cell occupied by Rose, he was commanded to unlock it. The sheriff entreated his captors to desist, but to no purpose, and he was finally compelled to unlock the door, under threats that the mob would have the man they sought even if they had to pull the jail down. Kvcry approach to the jail and court house were carefully guarded by armed members of the mob. Everything was done in a quiet, orderly manner, and every man seeming to know what he was to do. After securing the prisoner the mob marched east to a railrcad bridge. In the meantime word had reached the citizens of the town generally and a crowd of fully 1,000 people gathered at the bridge to see the lynching of the murderer. A rope was placed about the victim's neck, and as this whs being done one of the mob said to Rose: "Let me take off your glasses," referring to the spectacles worn by the doomed man. "Yes," said Roje, "I shall never need them again." He was then asked if he had anything to say, to which he replied: "Gentlemen I suppose there Is no use to talk; you are out here to hang me. I should have liked to have had a trial by law." Ho was asked if that was all he had to say, and he replied: "Yes, except that I hope God will have mercy on my soul." His hands and icet were then tied and he was given a shove off the bridge, falling about ten feet. His neck was broken and death was almost instantaneous. The lynchers then disappeared, leaving his body dangling between the bridge and the waters of Cottonwood river, where It remained until 9 o'clock this morning, when the coroner held an inquest. The verdict was: "Death by hanging by parties unknown." The general verdict here Is that the lynching was justifiable, and it Is understood that the men who did the work Included some of the best citizens of Cottonwood Falls. SUICIDE OF A YOUTH.

THE EXECUTION OF TIP. DIES IV TWELVE MIMTKS AFTER HEI.tG GIVEX POISOX. Cyanide of Potasslnm Administered to the nil? Elephant In Hulls of Wet Bran A Record of Eight Murders for Tip in an Many Years. NEW YORK, May 11. "Tip" Is dead. He died from the effects of poison at 4:19:30 p. m. today. After he had given up the ghost the authorities waited an hour to be positive that Tip was not shamming before they permitted the members of the press to view the deceased. He lay on the floor, and directly over his head was his card, nailed where it had been placed some years ago. It read: t "TIP." Asiatic Elephant. Eliphas Indicu3. Presented Jan. 1, 1SSD, By Adam Forepaugh, Philadelphia. The execution was in private, newspaper reporters being strictly excluded. "It is an outrageous star chamber proceedings," chimed all of the scribes of Gotham. "It was a question of saving all your lives," said Park Commissioner Bell two hours later, "for if a drop of that elephant's saliva had touched the mucuous membrane of any one of you, the eye or the Hp, then there would have been a dead man almost In an instant." George B. Burns, assistant superintendent of the menagerie, told the story briefly. "All through the day we tried to administer the poison, cyanide of potassium, by one means or another, but did not succeed. At last we decided on bran, and using small capsules, Snyder made up balls of wet bran, in each one of which was placed a capsule containing about five or six grains. They were placed In the ordinary pail in which food had been givenhim before. At 4:07U o'clock lie put his trunk in the pail, and, taking up a ball of the bran, blew it down his throat. Several others followed, and then he stopped. Something seemed to affect him. lie moved to the front of the cage and rubbed iris .side against the bars, then he trumpeted once or twice, and at the end of four minutes seemed to go into a convulsion, and his body swelled, and his efforts to strain and burst the chain were tremendous. Finally the chain that went around his body burst. Getting down on the floor, he dragged himself toward the door of the cage until, reaching the limit of the heavy chain which secured his foreleg to two of the front bars, he stumbled and fell. He did not go down with a crash, however, but went over on his Fide, front first, stiffened out and died in just twelve minutes from the time he took the first ball of wet bran. We had at first decided to use hydrocyanic acid, but finally decided to use the cyanide of potassium, not only because it was tasteless and inodorous, but chiefly for the reason that it was not dangerous to the operators making the dissection. The use of the hydrocyanic acid would make the whole carcass a deadly poison. Besides, we have now demonstrated that this is an easy and humane way of killing elephau's." Before the Information was all Imparted the dissectors, eight in number, under the direction of John Rowley, chief taxidermist of the museum, had commenced their work, so that before the sun rises tomorrow Tip will be divided up. His hide and skeleton will go to Dr. William Wallace to be placed alongside Jumbo in the museum of natural history; his viscera will go to Dr. S. H. Huntington for the college of physicians and surgeons, and his eyes to the eye and ear infirmary. MADELINE IN NEW YORK. She Guve the Reporters the Mii Her piv Itook. NEW YORK. May 13.

SHAFT FROM THE PULPIT. The Rev. Mr. Matthews Responds to the Attacks of Breckinridge. LEXINGTON. Ky., May 13. The people of Lexington and vicinity are on the tiptoe of excitement regarding the antiBrecklnrldge meeting set for tomorrow afternoon. The people are thoroughly aroused and those in a position to know pay the meeting will be a monster affair. In his sermon tonight the Rev. R. T. Matthews, pastor of the Main-st. Christian church and prominent member of the ministerial union that Col. Breckinridge scored so terribly in his speeches here and at Paris, referred to the colonel in non-complimentary terms. Among other things he said: "None of us, ministers of the ministerial union of Lexington, are presuming to dictate who shall or shall not be the nominee of a political party. As teachers of the gospel of morality we are simply testifying and warning the people a3 regards what kind of man should or should not be a candidate or nominee for public office. We unitedly, in the fear of God, declare before the world that when an Immoral politician, standing in the calcium light of Caesar's court, is exposed at length in a life of sin, where domestic saneity and social morality have been deliberately debauched, and stepping from the witness box immediately announce himself still as worthy of representing the people because he has suffered the pains of hell and has confessed to the court his iniquity, we declare that while It is a Christian duty to forgive him and help him to a better life, his renominanion and re-election at the present time will be an open defiance of all personal chastity, domestic purity ani religious integrity." This sermon made a profound impression on the congregation, and it is all the talk around the hotels tonight. The First Game for France. Foot ball has suddenly become exceedingly popular in France, and there is no undue anxiety fhown with regard to the rough ways which are somewhat necessary. There are many capital clubs, and a game always draws a very large number of spectators, who take a deep Interest in the progress of the doings. On Monday last there was an international game played at Beoon les Bruyeres between the English Rosslvn park club and the Stade Francais. The play was all through very spirited on both sides, but the issue, certainly due to the great smartness of the French, was in their favor, the score of the Stade Francais being three tries (nine points) to three tries (eight points). This is the first game of foot ball won by a Frenoh team, and the victory was welcomed by great and prolonged cheering, in which English and French voices equally joined. London Court Journal.

GLENDALE, Beaverhead Co., Mont., April 24. lbi4. Mr. Jacob C. Dunn, Indianapolis, Ind. Dear Sir: Recently my friend, John C. Mc-Cutcheon, mailed me one dozen of your "The AVorld's Silver Question." So far as I have read I consider nothing better has been written on this subject the most important that has ever confronted the human family, because it touches every home. Your views as expressed and set forth in your book have been mine for years and since 1S73 have regarded all silver legislation cowardly and simply done for political catch vote advantage. The silver question is not a question that concerns a few "mine-owners," it is the question ' "that troubleth Israel" the world over. From the destruction of silver has come forth unrest, idler ss, grangers, farmers, alliance, populist, Coxey, poverty, starvation and history may repeat Itself and close the grand opera with the French revolution.

A TALE OF TORTURE. HOW AM INDIANA FARMER ESCAPED DEATH Bound ly the Chains of Disease for Thirteen Years But Released mt Last. (From the Cincinnati Enquirer.) In Benham, Ind., lives a man by the name of John F. Harrell. A rumor that his health had been restored in a most remarkable manner led to an investigation, and an Enquirer reporter, accompaniori by Hon. Robert Crtigmile, present Tnember of the Indiana State Legislature, visited Mr. Htrrell at his country home, and learned from his lips th pathetic story of his loi.g j ears cf suffering and recovery. "I am glad to see you. gentlemen." was tlio hearty jrreetin? of Mr. Harrell when the reporter had introduced himself and stated his bu-Ints, "and. I will cheerfully tell yen mv storv. I am now fii years of age. and have lived in ihia county for n-rarly fifty e;,rs. In August, l, I was working with a threshing mai-hine. The day was intes. ly hou I had become overheated at my labors when a sudden shower cf rain fell and I was drenched to th skin. A chill followed, and th-n unconsciousness came upon me and I fell to the ground. For six weks I remained speechless and unable to move. Several doctors done everything they could for m?, but It was a!;not eight wk'ks before I tully recovered my senses, and th-n I could scarcely articulate or m-.ve myself. "The doctors said I had received, a stroke of paralysis and could never recover, and that it was impossible for anything to be d ne that couli better my condition. I tried a number of different physicians, took enough medicine to start a drug More, but no benefit whatever. I procured a galvanlo battery, and thought that electricity helped me some at first, but later derived no benefit whatever from its use. Having spent nearly everything I possessed in the vain effort for relief I twame discouraged and abandoned ell treatment, for no medicine I had ever tried dona me a particle of good. "My condition, if anything, grew worse, my limbs an 1 entire body would swell to enormous size, and the tortures I endurvd cannot be described. So terrible has been rny fufferir.ps that death, would have been a welcome relief. I could find no comfort in livir.g, for every pleasure had Ken blasted and very moment darkened until I cared not how S'vrn the? cold grave closed over my wretched form. It was in the days of my deepest despondency when I heard of how a medicine known as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had restore"! John Preble to health when he was nearly dead, and how- Amiza Young and Wm. Rosengard had ben beiH-r.icd by their use. I knew that Mrs. J. W. Harrtll had been given up to die, but t , pills had made her a well woman, ant. when they helped James Dollens I thought if they could do S' much good for people I knew they might be able to help me some. I grt several boxes find found surprising relief. The swelling that troubled me so much ceased, the surging sensation in my limbs like the prlclc cf a thousand needles was cured, the severe pain that racked my frame annoyed m no more. I could eat and sleep better than I had done for years. The use of my limbs began to come back to me by degrees, and I can newwalk about without the aid of crutches although I have only used eight boxes of the pills. I can walk around the f irm with comfort and ease, and being free from all pain am able to enjoy life belter than at any time since I was first stricken down. You can see and know what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done for me, and I hope- and believe they will do as much for other sufferers." The above is but one of hundreds of remarkable cures that have been effected by this wonderful medicine ani in nearly every case the good work has ben accomplished after doctors and medicines have failed.
