The Oxford Prcskylarlaa Uarrk,
of Philadelphia, In Me I ha— Loss,
•30,000; laiaraarr, •IS.IH.
The Oxford Presbyterian Church, of
Philadelphia, located at the corner of
Brosd and Oxford streets, took fire yes
terday morning a few minutes before
seveu o'clock, and was entirely con
sumed.
The fire was found to have originated
lu ihe second story of tils chapel, from
the windows of which deuse volume!of
smoke poured out, and in a few mo
ments more tbe entire interior was a
masa of llauie. The church had recent
ly secured au organ valued at (500(1.
and to help to pay for this a fair was
being held in the chapel. The articles
there displayed being of au exceedingly
oombustible nature, the fire was not
long iu finding its way into the main
audience room and ascendiug to the
apex of the roof.
Tbe firemen and others believing the
structure doomed, turned their atten
tion to carrying out the muvahle furni
ture, and a u umber of pew sections,
hooka and other articles of value were
saved. Afior every hope of saving the
mterior had t>eeu alaudoned, a dozen
streams were turned on the front, and
this portion at least was saved. The
loss wiil probably reach over (50,000.
The building was insured as follows :
Lancaster and Royal,and Loudon aud
Lancashire, (10,000 each: Insurance
Company of North America anil Fire
Association of Philadelphia (perpetual),
(10,000 each; Jetl«rson, of this city,
(25000. Total, (42,600. The chuich
furniture, very little of which was
damaged, was insured for (5000 iu the
CiUens', of New York, Ipon the or
gan there was au insurance of (5000 iu
the Scottish-Commercial, placed by the
builders, ilook and Hastings, of Bus
The (Sunday-school furniture was
sured iu the Guardian,'of New York,
for (5000.
The edifice, of which Rev. K. L. Rob
biDH is pastor, was destroyed. It was
constructed of browu stone with a lofty
steeple on the corner ; was 88 by 131)
feet in dimensions. The fire was first
discovered by the janitor at 0.45 a. m.,
when a partition w as found to be ablaze
and the place filled with smoke, it is
supposed that au overheated stove in a
room ou the first Hour, improvised as a
restaurant during the fair, was the
cause of the fire.

important features in tbe result. The
candidates for Mayor were lx>th Demo

campaign.
campaign.
The Catholic question was enlisted,
and worked largely against the Hon.
Robert H. May, who, however, with the
entire ticket, is elected over the Hon.
Charles Kstes by G34 majority. The
colored vote was splendidly organized
aud was polled solidly for the successful
candidate, securing his election over
Kates, who wa3 the Mayor of Augusta
during the Hamburg riot.
The colored people seemed to cherish
revenge against him for not interfering
with the massacre at that time, and
preventing the military of this city
from going across the river ami aiding
in the Carolina butchery. Iu the fourth
ward, to-day, #ue colored man was shot
iu the neck and another severely stab
bed in the face by white men, several
whites being also knocked down by
colored voters.

Tim Tbajer Concert.
Tbe concert which appears in this v
city on Friday evening will present a
line programme, in speaking of her
the Boston "Journal'' saya:
.Miss Thayer made an instantaneous
hit. Her voice is a Hopranoof extreme
compass aud of great sweetuess and
purity and llexibility. Her first num
ber was a grand atia from Verdi's "Na
huooo," which she sang with great
brilliancy and finish. I pon au encore
she favored the audience with an ex
quisite rendering of tbe "Merry
Postillion," byAbt. She also sang au
aria from th» " Crown Diamonds" very
sweetly, anil la-st of all, perhaps, was
Schubert's 11 Serenade," arranged as a
duo for soprano and cornet, in wblob
the voice part was sustained by Miss
Thayer with a nicety of execution and
intonation that fully equalled Mr. Ar
buokie's efforts. That Miss Thayer is
au acquisition to the concert stage, and
that she will find favor wherever she is
heard, cannot tie doubted.
