Hundreds of anxious spectators stood by powerless to check the steady progress of the flames. and the magnificent edifice was totally destroyed before their eyes without a drop of water ueing thrown upon it. Tho fire originated from the furnace and must have been smouldering nearly all night. The caretaker left the church apparently all right about 10 o'clock Sunday night.
