He was burled beneath mass of rock and brick which fell from the roof he was investigating the damage done 8.8 by the fire.

Five other firemen, inoluding Chief Terpenny, who Battalion, narrowly escaped being in the same manner. The fire had pretty well burned itself out by early yesterday morning. At 9 o'clook Terpenny decided that it was time to ventdown into the tunnel. Smoke had ure ceased coming! up through the shaft near 168th street and Broadway, but air heated to an almost unbearable degree continued to rush up. Terpenny, with Firemen Lilly of Engine 88, Williams of Engine 60, Cavanagh of Engine 67, Mulligan of Engine 52 and Hesing of Engine 23, went down the shaft.

In the meantime a reporter of THE SuN had reached the burned station by walking down the subway from 181st street. He met the firemen just as they alighted from the cage at the bottom of the shaft. party began their investigation toward the southern end of the station. Just as they started they met a workman who had made his way up from the 157th street station. He WAS exhausted from the heat and from scrambling over and he warned the firemen that the walls were falling.

"Oh, I guess we'll take a chance," said one of the party. The firemen had just passed the end of the station going south when a part of the brick roof and a mass of rocks and earth fell. Lilly, who was slightly in advance, was almost completely buried. When the dust cleared away nothing but the arms of the buried firemen could be One of his companions shouted to Terpenny: Chief, Lilly is pinched!" Chief Terpenny took one glance at the under which Lilly was buried. don Then he covered his face with his hand and the men could see tears oozing out between his fingers.

It was more than an hour before Lilly's body could be extricated and to the surface. He was 42 years old and had been freman for fourteen years. He lived at 467 West 165th street. His wife died recently, leaving him three young children to look after. Janet and Sammy, the younger children, were attending Public School 169, which is the nearest building to the shaft where the fire occurred.

Father Doran of the Church of St. Rose of Lima went to the school and broke the news to the children that their father was killed. The children will get $1,000 from the Firemen's Insurance Association, $500 from the Firemen's Benevolent Association and a pension of $58.68 a month. The damage to the subway station and its approaches is greater than was at first believed. Practically nothing of the work remains.

The station platforms are 8 wreck. Yesterday they were simply 8 mass of concrete, glowing like hot lava. In them were fissures big enough for a man to fall into. Every bit of the brick work in the station had fallen, along with rocks and soil above It. There was constant danger of falling rocks.

The marble arches at either end of the station had crumbled and fallen. The ties along the track were burned out and in some places buried feet deep beneath the bricks and rocks. What remained of the seven car train which ran into a hand car and started the fire by causing a short circuit, was still in the station. Five of the cars, wooden ores, were completely burned away with the exception of the metal trucks. The two metal sheathed cars, the first and third in the train, withstood the flames to a great extent.

The wheels of the hand car were hanging over the front platform of the foremost car. The fire didn't interfere with the work on the subway north of the station. Some sections, up to 181st street, are nearly completed. It was said yesterday that the work of rebuilding the station would probably take five or six months. After the roofs have been shored up and rebuilt the tunnel may be opened without waiting for the station to be rebuilt.

Burke, the universal prorider, whi, always ready to supply the city with anything from a fire engine to a' lead pencil, bid recently to equip the Cleaning Department with 5,000 feet of hose for street flushing at 49 cents a foot.

The next lowest offer was about 70 cents a foot, and Burke got the contract. Commissioner Woodbury said yesterday that when the hose was delivered the lengths, as a rule, were short and that the material, unlike the samples, was of the lowest grade. Major Woodbury refused to accept the hose, and in consequence Burke refused to abide by the contract. Unless Burke supplies hose up to standard it is the intention of the Commissioner to buy in the open market and then to ask the Corporation Counsel to bring suit against Burke to recover the cost. BROOKLYN JANITORS BEATEN.

Not Entitled to as Much Salary as Their Manhattan Brethren. Supreme Court Justice Gaynor in Brooklyn yesterday decided adversely to Joseph Farrell, janitor of Public School 83, in his suit against the city, to recover $7,000. This, he asserted, the difference in salary for the last six years between what he received and the amount paid the public school janitors in Manhattan. On the trial of the case, Assistant Corporation Counsel Hughes contended that it was but just that the janitors in Manhattan should receive a larger sum, inasmuch as they are required to live within 500 feet of the schoolhouse and have to pay more rent than janitors in Brooklyn. Farrell was backed up in his suit by the 149 other janitors in Brooklyn.

It is intimated that Justice Gaynor's decision will save the city over $700,000. measure providing for the removal of the King's County Penitentiary to some island in the East River.

The measure provides for the transferring of the prison within two years. Kings County Penttentiary to Go Up the River.

MACKAY STIRS UP IOWA. CLASSIS OUT THERE SAYS HE IS AGAINST CHURCH DOCTRINE. And Expresses Indignation and Regret Denunciation of "the Crude and Over a Theology" of the Doctrine of Pitiless Eternal Punishment--He Stands Pat. The Rev. Dr.

Donald Sage Mackay, pastor of the Collegiate Church, at Fifth avenue and Forty-eighth street, has been branded heretic by some of the Western minisas a ters of the Reformed Church in America, which the Collegiate Church belongs, but a heresy trial is not expected. A protest against views expressed by the Rev. Dr. Mackay has come here from the Iowa Classis of the Reformed Church in the form of a resolution declaring that an article in the Christian Intelligencer of Feb. 1 written by Dr.

Mackay is against Reformed Church doctrine. "In view of the fact that the reading necessarily bear evil of such articles must the resolution, "we, 88 the resulte," says Classis of Iowa, express our indignation and regret to find such a contribution in a which represents our Reformed paper Church, and we, as Classis, feel our'selves obliged to withdraw our moral and financial support from said paper if we cannot recommend it to our Reformed famisolid and orthodox litlies as containing erature." The article is the subetance of a sermon delivered by Dr. Mackay in which he gives what seems to him to be reasons for An inability of men to beapparent growing lieve in a personal God. The part to which the Iowa ministers object is this: Still another cause which I mention contributing to this lost sense of God comes from the crude and pitiless theology of previous age. I say previous age, and yet I cannot help remembering that in Scotland to-day 1,100 ministers have been rendered legally churchless and homeless, and property of $55,000,000 taken from the Church represent, in order to satisfy the legal demands of a Church of just twenty-four whose fundamental belief is limited ministers, salvation, that God saves only the elect, and that only to the elect can the offer of tion be made.

These twenty ministers stand to-day, with that vast revenue behind them, as representatives, if not exponents, of that dreadful theology of a generation or which pictured God as seeking His two ago glory at the expense of His creatures' own welfare; as condemning "for his own mere pleasure" innocent children and ignorant good savages to an eternal torment, which preeternal evil: as punishing men for supposes mistakes in doctrine; as claiming blind submission of the conscience and intellect; as vindictive and cruel: and as, in fact, anything but the Father of infinite love revealed Jesus Christ. That theology, thank God, in to-day, but the effects of it La not preached are felt to-day! The editors of the Christian Intelligencer that the action of the Iowa Classis is say unjust. They say: "That Dr. Mackay used in the sermon of which the article was a condensation some unguarded expressions in describing the doctrinal attitude of the Wee Free Church of Scotland may be conceded, but the inference that he intended to deny any doctrine of our standards we regard as' altogether unwarranted." Dr. Mackay himself said yesterday: am intensely surprised at the feeling which has been stirred up, and all the more so because at the time the sermon in question was preached it received general commendation, 80 general, in fact, that in to numerous requeste it was made public response in pamphlet form.

I have received a number of letters complimenting me it. Learning of the action of the Iowa on Classis, I quoted to my congregation last Sunday this extract from a Scotch theologian of the type to which I drew attention in the previous sennon: "The godly husband shall say Amen to the damnation of his wife: the godly parents shall sing hallelujah at the passing of sentof death against their only child: the godly, child shall parenta, approve the father who damnation begat of his wicked the him and the mother who bore him. the Iowa Classis indorses that type of theology as the theology of the Reformed Church in America to-day, I am ready to step out of my pulpit to-morrow. I would rather break stones by the roadside than preach such a caricature of the love of God." Dr. Mackay, understands that the true inwardness the Iowa action is to be found in a church quarrel.

A seceder from the Reformed Church, known as the Christian Reformed Church, which is fairly strong in Iowa, is using his sermon as religious and theological capital, and practically forced the Reformed Church Classis to its action. HILPRECHT INQUIRY MAY FIZZLE His Opponents Say They Won't Testify Unless They Can Have Counsel at Hearing. PHILADELPHIA, March were rumors to-night that the investigation ordered by the trustees of the University of Pennsylvania into the charges against Prof. Hilprecht would end in a fizzle. The adherents of the Rev.

John P. Peters, whose criticisms of the Nippur disooveries led to the row, are objecting to the fact that J. Levering Jones is chairman of the 00m- mittee. Mr. Jones is regarded as a Hilprocht partisan.

Dr. Peters's friends will demand tomorrow the right to be represented by counsel at the investigation. If this is refused, they say they will probably not testify at all and the inquiry will fall to pieces. Up to date the deepest secrecy has marked the Contrary to expectation Dr. Peters did not come over to-day to testify.

In fact, it is hinted that he was not asked to do so. Instead the trustees accepted his statement as it has appeared in the newepapers as his evidence. this Dr. Hilprecht can have the opportunity of replying in person. DIDN'T COME BACK FOR BABY.

Pretty Jewess With Blue Eyes Leaves One More for Poor Mother to Feed.

She said she couldn't afford to keep it any longer. Tuesday night," said she, "a pretty Jewess, about 30 years old, with poor clothes, blue eyes and black hair, came up here with this baby and asked me if I would let them stay all night.

She said her husband had run away from her. I haven't much room for company in my two beds, with two children of my own, not much money and with my husband out of a job for six months, but I was sorry for the baby, and I took them in. They slept here and yesterday morning I gave the mother breakfast. She said she was going out to buy milk for the baby and she never came back." The policeman took the foundling to Bellevue. Like its mother, it bas blue eyes, but its hair is light.
