Bishop Wigger Directs the Rendente and Tessera from Seminary Porch-The Loss to Estimated at About 940,000. While the faculty and the students at Beton Hall College, in South Oranze, were at dinner yesterday noon, Henry Feindt, the village shoemaker who attends to the footgoar of everybody in the college, strolled into college grounds from road with several pairs of shoes under his arms.

As he turned the corner of the seminary building he glanced along the of the main colloge discerned thin tongue of fame creeping along the cornice at the base of the Mansard roof. He started for the door of the refectory in the burning building, knowing that almost everybody in the institution was at dinner there. Before he reached the door Clark, Hale one of the smaller students, met him in the quadrangle. The shoemaker called Hale's attention to the fire, which was rapidly gaining headway, and the boy went quickly to the dining room and quietly informed Father Marshall, the Vice-President in charge, that the building was on fire. Father Marshall started to his feet, and, followed by a score of professors and students, ran to the dormitory in the fourth story.

The northern end of the building was found to be in flames, and efforts were directed to gotting out the furniture and bed ding. The students and seminarians worked with great energy, both in Aghting the flames with buckets of water and in carrying out every portable article. The Are steadily incroased in volume, and when the workers wore Anally driven from the building the greater part of the portablo property was safely removed to the campus and quadrangle. The fire was first observed at 12:10. and within an hour the roof fell in with a crash, carrying down the floors and several partition walls.

Meanwhile an alarm was sent to Newark by telephone, and a steamer and supply wagon responded. Before the firemen arrived the interior of the college building was a seethIng mass of flame, and the passage connecting it with the seminary building WAS mAde the contre of the students' efforts. They formed A buoket line and hung wet blankets from the windows and roof of the seminary at the point of greatest danger, whore but aix feet intervened between them and the burning building. By herolo efforts they succeeded in checking the advance of the fire until the Newark steam engine arrived and turned two streams of water from a neighboring pond upon the endangered building. Nothing was done toward extinguishing the fames in the collage bullding until the safety of the other buildings was assured.

as it WAS apparent that all efforts to save it would be futile. The students, with faces and hands blackened with smoke. busied themselves in carrying. sorting, and packing away the goods rescued from the burning building. They worked steadily until o'clock, when an order was given to them to pack up and seek their homes, The fire was then under control.

Nothing WAS left of the college building but four brick walls and the square water tower at the southern end. The building consisted of four stories, the upper one boing an attic under the Mansard root. The building was about 100 feet long and 40 feet wide, and it was divided up into class roome, study rooms, play room, laboratory, dormitories, and refectory. It cost between 000 and $50,000 when it was built. in 1805.

and it was insured in the German- American Insurance Company of this city for about $25,000. The total loss is estimated at $40,000. Little personal property of the students was destroyed. William Hicks, a California student. lost about $200 in jewelry, and personal effects, and William McLaughlin lost an equal amount.

Hicks earned high praise from Vice- President Marshall and other officers of the college for extraordinary energy in fighting the fire. They said he saved the seminary by his coolness and bravery in directing his companions and in setting them an example. Bishop Wigger, who has his residence at the college, was absent in South Orange when the Are broke out, but he WAR quickly on hand, and from the seminary porch he encouraged the boys and men directed their efforts. The President, the Rev. James Henry Corrican, was in this city, having attended a leetIng of the alumni here on Monday night.

When I came to Fayette county I located in Jasper township, and wont to work Intending ever after to live an industrious lite and keep to myself.

FORT JERVIS, March fashionable summor resort, Milford, is at present greatly exercised in spirit over a happening in its religions circles which has caused widespread and not altogether favorable comment. A revival of religion has been in progress in tho village for some weeks.

A young girl, whose father is a miserable drunkard, and whose mothor deserted her some time ago, has been living wretchedly as a domestic drudge at different placos in tho town. Although scanty and unpresentable in annarol, this girl began to attend the revival meetings, and as her attendance was regular. it was supposed that she was entering comfort in her unenviable lot from the influence of the sanctuary. A few days ago she recoived a note from one of the leading ladies connected with the church and the rovival work. The note WAs short and to point.

It gave notice to the girl that unless she could id make her appearance at the meetings in better clothing and with a prosenco more agreeable to the rest of the congregation, she must cease ber attendanco altogether. The lay sermons that have been drawn from this incident are many and pointed, and tho cause of religion in Milford does not seem to have been aided much by it. THE WORKING PEOPLE ASK IT.

The quantity of natural gas "blowing off" or going to waste is something startling. says a Pittsburgh correspondent of tho Philadelphia Press. While large amounts of it are used, it is novertheless true that nearly equal amounts are wasted. The amount which is not utilized would more than furnish a city like Pittsburgh, teeming with manufacturing establishments. with fuo! in abundance.

He Deserthes to the Pope-The Next Cardiani, CINCINNATI, March an interview with Archbiahop Elder, printed in the Enquirer, the Archbishop tells of to the Pope. He says: "I had two audiences with him. In my Arst he spoke with favor of our recent grent American Council, and pointed out the effects It would have upon the future. In my second audience he took occasion to express his great regard for the head of the Metropolitan See of Baltimore, and charged me on my coming away to bring a special message over to him." The Archbishop added that the object of his visit to Rome was merely to make a written report of the condition of religion in his diocose.

The Bishops of this country are required to go to Rome in every ten sears. This was his fret visit as Archbishop of Cincinnati. He says the Popo is advanced in years, and is not in robust health, but that he preserves great vigor and attends to much business. During the week Archbishop Eldor was in Rome he did not hear of any attack of illness that hindered the Pope's general occupations. With regard to the appointment of a Cardinal in Ainerica, the Archbishop says he heard only conjectures while in Rome.

Upon his arrival In New York he heard that some more definite information had beon received in this country, but be bad no opportunity of learning what was the foundation for it. The appointment of Cardinala is ordinarily a matter personal to the Holy Father. In choosing Bishopa and other officere in the church there are commonly bureaus that have the duty of examinIng into the qualifications and recommending the fittost person. submitting their conclusions to be confirmed or corrected by the Sovereign Pontiff: but for choosing Cardinals there is no oMelal advieer, and sometimes no one around him knows the Pope's intention until it is publicly announced. roward it." continued the Archbishop.

TAKE BEEN TO THINK THAT THE ALDERMEN ARK SAFE ANTRUM. A Before the Witt More Meet Likely Vese the Seeger After Two Anti. Monopolists. The cable railway people came up smiling yesterday at the hearing before Mayor Grace. Indeed, they seemed as confident as if it were foregone conclusion that even It the Mayor does veto the scheme the Aldermen are yet all right.

Dr. Fordinand Seeger appeared as reprosentative of the Anti- Monopoly League and posed the scheme. He accused Dr. John G. Boyd of being in the pay of the Cable Company and totally unauthorized to represent anti- monopoly sentiment.

He said also that It brought the blush of shame to the cheeks of antinopolists to see one of their number engaged In room 43 in the Post building to defend one of the most infamous steals ever attempted. Robert H. Shannon opposed the branch through Chambers street on behalf of property holders there. Mr. Edward A.

Lauterbach, on behalf of the Third Avenue Railroad Company, opposed the grant to the Cable Compans, and said be was authorized to offer $1,000,000 for the grant for Lexington avenue alone. Ho insisted that the compensation to the city proposed by the Cable Company is ridiculously small, and urged that if anybody was to be authorized to run cable cars in the streets now occupied by the Third Avenue Company or adjacent streets the right should bo given to that company. guaranthe teed that a syndicato could be raised in twentyfour hours that would agree to pay $10,000.000 for the franchise which the Cable Company wants for next to nothing. As an indication of the valuo of a franchise he said that his pany actually paid $8,000 a year to one company now, holding the franchise for the use of only six blocks, Cable Rond Fuller said that the conditions proposed by the Cable Company of a single fure and transfer tickets were of more importance than the giving of a high price to the city for the franchise. He did not wonder that the present companies were anxious to hold on and keep competition.

but the added. They will fail because they bavn't got the right Robert Sewell, one of the counsel of the Cable Company spoke to the Mayor of the history, rights, and intentions of the Cable Company. He averred that it is no exporiment that the company propose to try, but a system of intramural transportation successfully tried in other cities. He admitted that there is 2 at present spasm of publio virtue, much like an that opposes surface roads, and boped the Maror would look at the matter dispassionately. The Mayor should not consider the objections of property owners because the law places that branch of the subject under the arbitrament of the Supremo Court.

The Mayor should confine his view to the consideration of the weifare of the whole city. The proposed road would cost $14,000,000 to build and would pay the city $1.000 a day. The existing surface railroad companies were the most earnest opponents the cable system, and ought to have no standing in court, The hearing was declared adjourned. There la little doubt that tho Mayor will veto the scheme. ATTACKING A JAIL.

Said Bible Agent, Mess Pay He West. BUSHVILLE, March Crane is a rich farmer living near this place. He is leading church member, and is noted for the pleasure he takes in entertaining ministers, colportours, or any one engaged in church or religious matters. In his ordinary business transactions and social relations be is oqually noted for closeness and exclusiveness. A few weeks ago a la man called at the Crane farm.

He carried an evidenily wellAlled valise. He represented himself as a travelling agent of the Dorcas Bible Distributing Soolety, and said he had conscientious scruples against staying at the hotel in the village. He requested supper and lodging at the farni bouse. Farmer Crane made him welcome at once. The stranger ate supper and remained over night.

His eminently plous manner and versation mado a deep impression on the farmer and his family, and when the Bible-distributing agent asked for his bill for being tertained at the farm house Mr. Crane WAR deeply pained. The agent produced printed rules of the society he represented, one of which was that none of its agents must necept gratuitious hospitality at the hands of any one, but that cash must be paid for all favors, the agent toinvariably take a receipt n8 8 vouchor in settling his account with the society. er Crane reluctantly accepted twenty cents from the agent, and signed a blank receipt handed him by the latter. The agent loft neatly-bound Bible with the family and departed.

A tow days ago Farmer Crane received notice from Lawyer Bush that a note civen by him for $2.500 bad been loft with the lawyer for collection, and that early attention to the matter would be agreeable. The farmer had no recollection of giving any one a note for ANY amount. and called at the lawyer's office. The papor was shown to him, and he recognized it as the one that he had signed for the Bible agent, supposing it to be a receipt, but found that it was in reality an obligation to pay Robert Ransom $2,500. The note had been discounted by other porsona.

Crane acknowledged the signature to be hia, but he refused to pay the amount. Suit has been commenced to collect the note, and. as Crane is good for many times its face, and has no corroborative ovidence of fraud that will defeat the claim the Innocent holder, it is likely that he will have to pay the amount.
