Not Definitely Established. -v s, v- [Special to The Gate City.] WARSAW, 111., Dec. 28.—Fire which was discovered shortly after nine o'clock last night completely de stroyed the Presbyterian church edi fice here, and threatened to spread to adjoining property. Nothing is left of the building but the brick walls which threaten to fall at any time. The fire burned during the entire night and several relays of volunteer firemen worked during the night to confine the flarues to the walls of the church. The church building was one of the landmarks of Warsaw and this vicin ity, having been erected some fifty five or sixty years ago. It was located -on. Fourth and Lafayette streets, one block from Main street. It was on® of the finest church build ings in the city, and its fine new organ put in a year ago at a cost of $1,000 was completely destroyed. The blaze was discovered in the south portion of the building shortly after prayer meeting. Some of the parishioners were In the pastor's study which is In another part of the edifice. The origin of the fire is not known unless it was from the fur nace. Additional fire was made, at the request of some of the attend ants for the prayer meeting, and it was thought that sparks from the flue or an over-heated furnace may have caused the blaze. Two small organs were saved from the fire. There is insurance of $11, 000 carried on the building. While no plans could be announced today, it was considered probable that the church would worship in one of the theaters until a new home can be procured or built. The Warsaw fire department, aided by volunteers, did some heroic work in keeping the fire from spreading to adjoining property. Four lines of hose were laid. Dr. J. M. Thompson is the pastor of the church.
