iehl yesterday afternoon in tho church. Representatives
if twelve churches were present. Dr. William Kincaid
?resided. The commutes appointed nt the previous
i,coting to examine Ibo documentary evidence to be pre
ented to tbe council, reported through A. A. Spear,
honing that the manual of tho church hud beeu
idopted In an Irregular manner.
The record* showed that Mr. Chester was called as
>astor Rt a salary of ni t less than S300 a yesr, in the
atter part of iago. A council was called on Janmry
.1,1687, nt which the church was recognized a* a Con
?regatloual church and Mr. Chester was ordained a* an
?rangellst. A meeting of the church was callcu for
November 30. 1887, to consider tho quesilon of severing
ho relations of Mr. Chester with the churoh. The clerk
?egarded tho meeting a* lllcpal nnd refused to produce
he records, but tho meeting adopted resolutions not to
?ouew the engagement with Mr. Cbestor after the close
if tbe year, by a vote of eleven to one. The adherents
>f Mr. Chester claimed that ull tho action of this meeting
va* Illegal. An annual meeting was held on December
IO and adjourned until June.
It wa* claimed by the party opposed to Mr. Chester
hat before that adjournment another resolution wa*
idopted dispensing with Mr. Ches er's service*, and then
hat the meeting adjourned until January 0. on which

WITS BOMB Or THE BURBBD-OBT FIRMS.
Thousands of people stood in the mud and alnsb
of Broadway all day ycatertlay simply to watch
tbe heavy clouds of steam ami smoke- that rose,
from the ruins of the big lire. The polico were I
marly exhausted both in temper and body by
their effort* to keep things moving. The sl.ht
BSUSB were obstinate, however, and seldom " moved
on" without the spnr of a vigorous push or a
threatening word. Two engines stood at- the
hydrant* above nnd below the ruins nnd puffed
preat columns of heavy black smoko Into tho
air, besides forcing thousands of gallons of water
over the heated bricks. Two smaller engines wore
iu Mcrccr-st., but late In thc uftcrnoon all except
two of the steamers were taken away.
As fsoon os thc bricks were cool enough, gangs
of men were aet to work to lind tho safes. The
heat was so great at first that tlie men had to
leave the ruins every few minutes to cool off nnd
to brestho fresh air. Later in tho day it was
cool enough in tho cellar to allow the men to
work continuously. None of tho safes wa* gotten
out, however, and the il rims who wero entirely
burned out aro as much ot sea about losses as
they wore yesterday. Tlie general opinion ls that
the losses will be (treater than tbe lirst estimates
made them out. 'lvvo million dollars is the lowest
nasa in-vv, while many think that the loss will
bc nearer three millions.
OKTTINO REA1.T Tn IIF.OIN BCSINPSS AGAIN.
The burned out firms have established head?
quarters in various parts of Broadway within a
few blocks of the ruins. Louis Metzger has his
hcadiHurlers temporarily at No. BBB Broadway.
Ile is looking for a building and will begin business
again, lie said jesterday that he would lose at
least one-hn!f tho value of his goods, lie hud a
stock worth nearly $100,000, insured for half its
value. Some of the eovers were removed from
the Chinese and Japanese goods of IL Isaacs ?_
Brother in No. 55.' Broadway, and the stock was

lose, heavily, however, because they hud from
$.(0,000 to $40,000 in gr.ods stored in the base?

losses. Tba firms in No. MS, whan the Manies

quarters on tbs second floor of No. 102 Prinee-st.
John McNev in, the junior member of tho firm,
said: " We lost about $100,000 by tho lire, and
had about BBO.0B0 insurance. Only last week the
insurance c..mantles took away $10,000 of our
insurance on account of the condition of the base?
ment nnd aubeellar eeunted by Bogers. I had n
tine collection of old fashion pliil.-s, some of them
(luting back to 1 ooo, ami they were all destroyed.
Only a few days ago I refused J'fOO for a single
one of those plates. I Iiad kept duplicates af all
of tho most valuable drawings and patterns need
in our business, and had them stored in n box
in my house in East Nineteenth-st. This morn?
ing when I went lo look them up, I found that i>
water pipe hud bunt and had flooded the bax.
Most of the patterns had been ruined by thc

PETROLEUM MEN DINED BY STOCK MEN
WF.ITEBN LKADKRS ENTIRTAINED-A MOVEMENT TO
LIST OIL ON TUB STOCK EXCHANGE.
Considerable lntorest hM been exhibited in Wall?
er, recently over the efforts made by wBBRwfRRR mern*
ber* of the btook Exohoage to secure the admission
of petroleum certlfleites to deaUa,-i at that board.
The movement eulminatod yesterday In a generous
lnneheon gloven by somo of the leaders lo promi?
nent oil men who have come to this city to attend tho
annual meeting of the Conference of oil exchanges. If
Isgnnorolly supposed that the dulness In r*llw*y 6tock
speculation, contrasted with ihe recent activity and
variation In prloos for oil certificates at tho Consoli?
dated Stock and Petroleum Exchange, started tho
Idea of providing In oil new opportunities for makins*
brokerage or "scalping" fluctuatloas for the Stock
Exchange membership. Between 700 aud 800 names
havo been signed to a petition to the Gogernors in
favor of listing the Pipe Line certificates on that ex?
change and the work ot building up this sentiment
has been conducted by Frederick T. Brown, of H. L.
Horton St Co., H. K. Enos, Jenkins Van Rl.slck, IT. J.
Morse, of A. M. Kidder A Co., and a member ot the
firm ol Dominick A I) ickerman. The Idea was at j
first entertained of putting .11 o nt he ro-rular Ult but
the committee found, on conference wlh (ulcers of
tbs Standard OH Company that the certificates pro?
posed to be deult In wore only " w arehouso receipts"
for a merchantable comodlty and could not be regis?
tered In the way required by tho Stook Exchange
before lt admits railway shares within tts walls. It
ls now proposed to place tho I'I pe Line certificates
in the "unlisted department."
Tho committee which entertained the V.'estern oil
mon at tho Exchange Club la New sL enlarged Its
members by the addition of Charles I. lihdson and
II. B. Whlttetnore for the purpose of perfecting their
j powers of hospitality. The menu could not be ob
I thined hut lt ls understood that tho conference was a
most enjoyable ono socially and added largely to tho
knowledge of some of ihe stock brokers respecting
the petroleum Industry, booie of Ihe Jocular oil
brokers who aro ?'bulls" on the market surmised
afterward that the stock men were duly impressed
with tho fact that thSTS are only '..0,000 oil tertlUcates
to go around among all tho members of the four oil
exchanges now trading In tho coinodity and tho sug?
gestion was made that a few cort I Seato* from the
filtndard's tin-boxes might have he** ti ol'ered for
loan lu caso tho block Kxebauga wanted to begin
business at once
To day the conferen-e of the oil exchanges will be
Fin Its annual meeting, the session being hold here
n-fead of at the Wost In view of the fact of the
| recent admission of the Consolidated Stock and I'e
1 troleurn l-'xrhai.go to full membership In the Conference
a,,d af the agitation to place oil on tho Stock Ex
. change. The committee* aie composed ol Fresl
I deuts C. Ls Wheeler, of ths Hradford, IL 1* Foster,
j of the OH City and N. VV. "-fevrnoon, of tbe Pittsburg
! Pot.o'eua:I Exchanges and two members of each ex?
change. President Charles (i. Wilson and two mem
i hers of the Consolidated exchange will represent the
I New-York board. Tue main points to bo discussed
are need ol direct telegraphic communication bc
! tween tho Western exchanges and tho BtOOk l_chanee
! In eas* the latter wishes io deal In oil ami how far
i these privileges may be granted without ilettinient to
Iho Consolidated Stock and Petroleum Exchange.
YEARS CROWNED IV ITU nOSORS.
STOCKBROKERS PRKSKNT THKIft RESPECTS AND
OUTS Ti) ALEXANDER IIENBIQCBS.
Alexander Honrlqnes, vlcechalrman of tho Stock
Exchange, was seventy years old yesterday. Tho
occasion wad ono not to bo forgotten und his many
friends ma/lo lt ono long to bo remembered The
rostrum was loaded with Mowers and tho background
was a mass of green which was relieved on both
smo9 by draperies of Uulted States Hags. Tho Blg
nltk'uiiL figures leiaib^d were emblazoned on tho
dark tuc h ground, lt ls uot Impossible that the
popular v .ce ii.alii..au hiixisel.* started tho witticism
thal ho uuint bo very fond ol " eights.'' Ho was u-arly
overcomo with emotion, however, when on entering
tho rostrum at ll o'clock Lo saw a lung process'uii
of his friend* approaching from tho Broad St doors.
Tho Irrepressible lt. II Habited, who ls never known
except by tho name of " Lick Ilalsied," personated
the druin major. The grotesqueness of his diess
and head fear, Whleh may have been modeliod after
lhat of tho Old Guard, could bo Imagined only hy a
person of equally exuberant feelings. Following
j him was a column of tho -'boys," of whom some had
a speaking acriualntar.ee with fifes und snare drums.
A mixed squad of brokers and messenger boys dragged
by long ropes brass cannons that may have been
four Inches long. Fortunately no attempt to dis?
charge them was made. What was called a rylophono
octette, composed of IL n. Ilalsted,Ernest Groosbeck,
ll T. wallaroi, (JOOrSJB D. Mackay, John V.'allaco,
Howard K. Burras, IL W. Schack and William C.
Smith, attempted to play "My Grandfather's Clock."
E. C. Homans then offered the tributes of the Ex?
change; a gold-hooded malacca cano, a handsome cats?
eye pin and a now gavel which was only smaller than
a boer keg. A lot of other gifts immediately followed
?large sticks of candy, dolls dressed after the fashion
of tho Old Guard and other things which the wits of
the Exchange considered appropriate. When Mr.
Homans ottered tho most valuable testimonials, the
aged vice chairman, who ls supposed n-*ver to have
quailed In tho face of danger, Bolted lu an appealing
tone of voice:
''Am I expected to mako a speech?" Tho nod
that ai? wered the Inquiry seemed lo stiffen the back
of tho veteran of many lid,ls, who said:
"..eiitlomon aud Colleagues: You paralyze my
utterance and then expect nie to malio a speech. Who
could feel unmoved on entering tho room, where ho
has battled tor tho cause so long, lo find his friends
ready to receive him In their warmest embraces. This
preseatitlon ls to nie priceless; tho wealth of tho
Indies could not buy lt. When 1 reflect that in a
community like ours, --.hero wo deal with tho Interests
of millions, held under our control and manipulation,
you can spare a few moments to fte honor to a sub?
ordinate ollirer of the BxefcSOfS, you place mo under
tbo very strongest obligations. Tho greatest pride
of my life has been experienced on this rostrum amid
the remarhable a-soclatlons svUh which I havo been
surrounded. To tbo gentleman who bas preceded
mo hero tl nf.-an th) chairman), who has encouraeod
me In all my Shina and to whom I am Indebted for
a great deal of approbation. I extend my thanks and,
c-uilenieii, I thanh you, for this kindly demonstration.
It ls to me a legacy more valuable th.ii wealth. It
ls a legacy that I shall lemo f? my "hlldren and
they shall foe] that their farber In the uphill work
of his life pained Ihe approbation of his ColloBfUSI
They will appreciate thi.* when | shall have passod
away. I shall cherish '.he recollection of Ibis or
easton while life remains In this mortal tenement
Later In the dav the **9ldron**l Brand" made another
march around '.he boardroom. Hofore the oldest
meni!>er they played again " My Crandfather's ("'loch.''
they saluted one of the f*motis wine shots with
''Johnny, get your gun." and recognized dlffeient
nationalities by Hie "Marseillaise" and " Waeht am
Bbeln." The familiar strains of "Yankee Dooodle"
may havo been omitted.
