avenue, causing a loss that officials of the company estimated at $65,000, with probably seventy-five to eighty per cent of it covered by insurance. The fire was discovered by Eugene Snider, who lives across the street south, and he and J. T. Christie called the fire department. When discovered, the fire was breaking out over the entire building and had gained great headway by the time the department arrived. The firemen worked hard for three hours before bringing the blaze under control. The entire contents of the factory were destroyed. This included 45 sewing machines, the finished stock of several hundred dozen pairs of over-alls and much uncut and cut
cloth.
The firemen are of the opinion that the blaze was caused by a defective electrical wireing, as the worst damage appeared to have been near where the wireing was concentrated under the sewing machines and in the vicinity of where most of the wireing was carried into the building. The firemen succeeded in confining the blaze to the one floor and saved a portion of the main floor. There

Now’ that the Indianapolis area is not to be dissolved, the return of Bishop F. D. Leete is thought to be
probable.
Bishop Hughes is the leader of those who desire the discipline of the 1 church changed w’ith reference to the 1 amusement clause. His recent article in the Methodist Review has at- ; tracted great interest. He declares 1 the present attitude of the church to 1 be unsound, unscriptural, un-Protest- ' ant and unworkable. To the “Buga- ' boo” that its removal now w’ill be letj ting down the bars on morals, he I states that ‘w’e shall be misunder- | stood for a while, but a flood of mis- ; under.stamiings, for which we are not ; responsible, is better than a flood of lawlessness for which we are responi sible.” The report of the committee ; on this question is awaited with much , interest and a major and a minor re- ; port are probable. The Rev. Ray Wade as conference secretary, is filling the place with ! marked ability.
