GOOD UhI3 FOR DI3AD COWS. How a Trleky Farmer' IMiuiiicd to Client a Railroad Company. "It was a great success , " laughed the claim agent , talking to a New York Sun man , "and If I hadn't by the merest chance tumbled to the old man's game It might have been going on yet. Some tlmo ago I was notified thai n man down ( be road had had a cow killed by the cars and that he had put in a claim for damages. I looked the matter up and aa It was perfectly straight on the face of U there was nothing to do but to settle with the old man on the best terms that I could get. I did so and was hardly back when I was agafn notified that ttio old man had another cow killed by the cars. "I looked Into that claim n little more carefully , but it was nil right as for as 1 could sec , and I settled with him. Before 1 luul had tlmo to catch a train back to the city the old man sent mo word that ho had had another cow killed by tlie cars. Thlb struck ino as being very strange , particularly bo aa none of the train crows had reported killing nny eowa. Moreover , they all denied it when questioned about It. "I went out where the cow was still lying by the side of the track and found It almost cut lo pieces. I was about to settle with the old man , an there was no other way out of it , when WB 10-year-old boy came running up. " 'Pop1 ! ho gasped , 'there's another cow dead ! Hurry up and we'll drag ho down hero and make the old railroad think that they have killed two this time. ' "Well , the truth of the matter was tliat the old man's stock had been dying from Eome causa nnd bo with great forethought had dragged the victims down on the rail road grade and pounded a few holes In them with a plckaxo and tden calmly notified the railroad to nettle.

MORMON SOLON UNDER BAN Presbyterian Assembly Places Interdict on Roberta of Utah. CONGRESS PETITIONED TO CAST HIM FORTH Movement l Started Timnrd Secur ing CoiiNllfiillonal Amendment Defining I.CKII ! MnrrlitKo to He MoiinHiinilc. MINNEAPOLIS , May 26-lt took the general assembly of the Presbyterian church longer to decide today when the nineteenth century ends than It did to pass the resolu tions against the Mormon congressman , Hofierts , and In favor of the anti-polygamy amendment to the national constitution. Itieso resolutions , which represent the ma tured thought of the Presbyterians of the United States after many months of con sideration , so exactly expressed the senti ment of every commissioner that they wcro adopted without even n single supporting speech. The commissioners generally feel that In calling for the expulsion of Roberts and for the adoption of an amendment to the national constitution , defining legal marrlago to bo monogamlc , they have started a movement which will be taken up all over the country and will reach eventual success. The adopted resolutions were originally written by Hev. William Paden of Salt Lake City , but were modified and expanded by the committee on 'bills ' and overtures , though not essentially. As for the end of the nineteenth century , one of the reports opoko of next year as the opening of the new century. Upon ob jection and after a little < lebate the stated clerk held that next year Is the last of this century. Presbyterians will henceforth get along without this exciting topic of dis cussion. A mass of routine business was disposed of at the afternoon session. Dr. John W. Dins- more , chairman of the standing committee on theological seminaries , turned In an ex haustive review of those Institutions.

The commissioners closely Inspected these figures because they have n bearing on the dcllcato question of Increase or decrease In the number of candidates for the ministry. They are deemed satisfactory. The report was something of a "roast" for dude min isters , and It was hinted that the lives of many theological students are too luxurious. Dr. Dlnsmoro followed the report with a speech In which ho deplored the tendency of graduates to look too Intently for soft berths. llev. Dn William S.

Systematic benefi cence was desirable , but bard to get. Rev. James' Wilson presented the report of the narrative committee. A necrologlcal list for the past year was read. It gave the names of 137 ministers. After attending lo various matters Dr. Charles Herr was asked to present a sup plementary report of the work of raising the Freedmen's board debt of $40,000.

Fire started early today in Buschmann's pavilion , Coney Island , and spread rapidly until seven blocks of frame buildings had been destroyed. A consorvatho estimate of the loss places it at $350,000. Policeman Thomas Lynch nnd Firemen George Taggart and William Aldrlch were painfully hut not seriously burned whllo rousing the sleeping occupants of the several threatened buildings. Rich ard Downs and William Durkln , 18 and 15 years respectively , who wcro asleep In the Zaza hotel , wcro severely burned about the body. The police bcllcvo the fire was of In cendiary origin. Deputy Battalion Chief Klrkpatrlck of the lire department says ho discovered traces of kerosene along the board walk In front of one of the burned buildings. When the fire department reached the beach front It found a dozen bath houses burning. They wore dry as tinder and it was Impossible to save thorn , The ( lames communicated quickly to the Buwcry and destroyed two blocks of it before they wcro gotten under control. The rapidity of the flro was not to bo wondered at , considering the character of the buildings. In one hour after the first putt of smoke gave \varulng n large square filled with buildings of all sizes and char acter utilized for such purposes as photo graph galleries , safoous , dining rooms , dance halls , theaters and the like were In ruins. When it dawned upon the firemen that they had a serious blaze on their hands five alarms were sounded. All the reserve engines came from Flatbush , Fort Hamilton , Bath Beach , Sheopshead Bay and fourteen companies responded from Brooklyn. The police department hurried down the re serves from six precincts. On arriving they at once set about to fight the flro systemat ically. Host ) wan stretched In all direc tions and the firemen told to make every effort to stop the spread of the flames , leaving the structures already on fire to burn themselves out. The heaviest losses arc : Feltmann's concert garden , loss , $40- 000 ; Henderson's dancing pavilion , bathing houses and concert hall , $100,000 ; Ezra Mer rill's roller-coasting plain , $50,000 ; Stauch's dancing pavilion nnd hotel , $83,000. In all 200 buildings were destroyed. The police estimate of the loss Is $750,000 , but this Is probably excessive , as the structures were of the flimsiest character , some of them being little more than sheds of cheap frame work. There wao no loss of life. There was very little Insurance on the property destroyed , the fire rates on frame buildings In Coney Island being almost pro hibitive. Take * IIiiNliie N I'nrt of Town.
