I REEPING TIlE IRE I TOSSEDby
Polish Church Factions Accusing Ono An-
other of Destroying the Building ,
FACTS BROUGHT TO LIGHT YESTERDAY
TnlkR ivithm Th080 of hoOt l'nrtlcR First on
the Scene -I'rlRt Jtnrmlnsld lend
PrlemlR Wilt Not Try to Uolll
Any of the l'rClIlerty.
Yesterday morning people at both raetlons I
were gathered on the street corners and In I
the saloons talking over the burning oC the 1
Polish Catholic church al Shceley the I
nlghl before , allli there was 11 con
tlnual crowd about the ruIns oC the I
destroyed church. This latter was corn
pletely burned to Ito ( basement walls , except
a portion oC the rear. The rooms In the
basement , however , especially those In the
rear , were nol badly dnmogC\l , and al eome i
aomrni
places did nol appear to bo touched by the i
fla mes.
Tim ruins were being search ell by a. bane ) I
or men , women , boys and girls , who were
looking for relics. Time corner stone , 1n' tin I
southwest corner oC the bulhllllg , was tin
earthed allli the tin box that was placed In It 1
al the time ot Its layIng was uncoverClI
and the contents taken out. These consisted 1
oC a paper and $1.08 In money which the ,
finder was charged with Immediately spendIng -
Ing for beer. The paper was written In
I.atln , which was translated as follows : "In
the year oC our Lord 1891 , May 2 , when on tile
allostollo scat was sitting Pope Leo XIII. p
and during the administration of the republican -
li can presIdent , Harrison , under the power
oC Cardinal Gibbons and the blsh011 In Omaha ,
Ulshop Scannell , and Vicar General Chokl\ :
was laid the corner stonoC \ ' this church under
the i name oC the St. Paul's church , the con
gregatlon consisting oC about ninety lam Illes :
and about forty single persons. This church
Is erected : 01 about the cost oC $3.500. " The
paper was signed by Hev. T. Jakhnowlcz
F ollowing ! was added a postscript In Polish ,
giving the names oC the foreman and car-
enters who erected the bulhllng.
The sIdewalk that extended over the street
nnd connected time church with the parsonage
was scorched more than two-thirds oC the
way across Even the front part oC the
parsonage was slightly scorched. This fact
Is being regarded suspiciously by the blshop's
f actIon . as they say that the wind 01 the
time oC lie fire was blowing strongly from
the south , while the parsonage Is directly
to the south oC the church.
The parsonage Is now In possession of the
blsho1's [ party. Members oC lie blsholl's
action have their own theory concerning the
fi re allll they have no hesitation In giving
expression to their views upon the sUbject.
They charge thai the prIest's faction
set fire to the church. Joseph Dargaczewskl
a brother at the mlln who was shot by the
priest In tim attack on the church , spolo as
follows :
, , FIRE STARTED IN DELFRY.
"
"I was sitting In my saloon with a crowd
of ' friends last night when shortly after 9
o'clock wo were attracted by two pistol shots
I ran to the door and looked In the direc-
ion oC the church The belfry was all
blaze , but I was unabb to see any fire In the
lower l part oC lie church. As I looked , the
fire spread along the roof and gradually
enveloped the ! whole building It seems
to me thai there would have been time fore
mo m and my friends to run to the ( church
and put the fire out , but we were afraId
to do thaL. I have no doubt but that the
church was set 'On ' fire by the prlesl's
frIends In tIme chnrch How would It
have been possible for any oC the SCllnnell
faction to set fire to the upPller portion
I oC the church In the belfry , especially as
there were watchmen continually about the
church.
"Furthermore , the time In which Kar-
mlnskl and his people were allowed to file
an appeal bond In the case expired today ,
and they would have to give UII possession
as they have been unable to get anyone to ;
go on the bond. They would therefore have
reason to set fire to the church , as they :
would be compelled to leave It. But why
should we set fire to It , when wo would
have C0l110 Into possession ? "
Time same arguments were advanced b
other members oC the Scannell faction , gra L
stress being laid Upomi the fact that the ,
fire was first noticed In the belfry oC the
churcb
lIIrs John Krystynlo1c , the wire oC the
man who owned time burned buildIng next
door to lie church , claims thai she saw
time priest with three 'oC his friends waklng ] !
to and fro In the church building with a
lighted lamp shortly before the fire. Whet
they were dolllg she Is unable to say. Her
hnsband , her son , Charles , and herself all c
claim that the first they sow oC the fire
was In the belfry , and lint the lower portion -
ion was free from fire. Mrs. ICryslynlal C
also makes ] the following statement :
"For lie last lour or five days I have
noticed a good deal oC noise In lie quarters
at time priest late last night , as It he were
pacltlng up On last Saturday night at
about 9:30 : o'cloek a wagon drove up to the
church and carried oil a load oC boxes What
the boxes contained I do not l\IIow. "
Priest Knrmlnsltl came to Omaha Wednesday -
day night after time fire and stayed al the Col-
onade hotel until morning. Ho then returned
to Sheeley allli went to the apartments occupied -
pIed by Joe CzerwlnsltI , who lives above lho
saloon al Twenty-olgllth and Walnut street
Ho will probably , however , nol remain there ;
very long , as Czerwinski Is Intending to 1'0-
move his family shortly. Minnie Kahoun reported -
ported to him thai she overheard a converse :
tlon between two oC the Scannel tactic
Wednesday night al time fire , In which one oC pI
the men remarked that "CzerwinskI's lilac
would have to co next "
PRIEST KAnMNSKI TALKS
Priest ICormlnsltl Is Indignant that ho allll
his friends should bo charged ! with the burr :
Ing at ( tie church. "Thro'ghoul ! time ever
lng , " ho sahl. "tho doors to ( ito front part
ot the church were locked and no one but
myself could get In. The fIrst tiling that wo
know of the fire was when wo heard the two '
I1lstol shots Some of us then ran to the
sIde door and noticed that time church was on
Ore. I Immedlntely tool my keys and um ) .
locked time doors to the church proper , but I
could nol enter on account oC the flames and
smoke thai appeared to bo corning Cram the
roof
"No , wo will nol try to get Into possession

The building next to the church anti owned

an other explosion occurred In the InterIor oC
the church , which appeared to be time explosion -
plosion oC a Ieroseno can There Is no doubt
but that kerosene Was used In setting lIre to
tim e church , os both parties say that they
smelled It. .
"I notice , " said J. P. English , who tins
represented the bishop's faction In tIme Polish
church difficulties , "thai a charge has been i
thrown out hinting thai parties from among
the successful litigants In time church cases
mny have set fire to tIme building. This Is
