The engines were rompt to respond, and upon the arrival of hiet Engineer Cronin on the ground a general alarm was turned tn by his orders, and soon the entire force was out. The discovery of the fire was first made by the boarders of the St. George eating saloon, in the building, and immediately under the main stairway lead- ing to the music hall. It appears to have gained considerable headway before being discovered as the timbers and wood work were charred completely through, and all the rooms on the second, third and fourth stories were filled with smoke. The opinion was expressed by the fire- men that it had been burning at least one hour when discovered. No.2 engine arriving upon the ground took a station in the rear of the hall and played a stream direct on the fire, while the other engines were posted in front and elevated their hose through the second-stery windows by means of ladders. The smoke was so dense that some time was consumed in ascertainin; the exact locality of the fire. From the heat smoke issuing from beneath the main stairway it was evident that this was the principal point, and the floor was ripped up on the landing at the entrance to the dining room, and the smoke and flames burst out in a large volume. The hose was applied to this opening, and in a few minutes the tlaze was stifled, and after the dis- Persion of steam and smoke a thorough exami- nation was made, when it was found the fire was spreading upwards towards the upper stories, theough the wood work of the stair casing. The hose was again applied, and water poured in until every spark was extinguished. It was found that the large timbers and joists support- ing the stairway were burned nearly through. ‘The toss te Woodbury, of the St. George, is heaviest, bu’ his insurance of $1,900 will cover itall. It is t.ougbt that the damage to the hall will not exceed 5°.060, and measures will be at once taken to mave the necessary repairs, ‘There is an insurance of $50,000 on the Temple, and each Masonic body has separate insurance Op the furniture, &e. None of the lodge rooms or their contents were injured at all, with the exception of some slight damage by smoke. It is the general belief that the fire was the work of an incendiary, as there is no fire kept in that part of the building. The firemen and police did their duty mentally throughout.

A SABBATH IN THE WOODS. [Special Correspondence of The Star.) Wasnixctox Grove, Montcomzey Co. Monday morning, August 10th, 1574. Saturday it was showery throughout the en- tire day, but the rainfall was very light, barely sufficient to saturate the ground tor a few inches in depth and effectually put an end to the dust nuisance, and restore comfort to the —- im the woods. There was no influx visitors during the Gay, and the tented city barely held its own in point of mbers, being be- tween four and five hundred present. A SATURDAY NIGHT SWARM. At night, however, when the Washington train arrived, the cars swarmed when ——— the depot, and the swarm alighted in the camp, nearly doubling its numbers, and presenting the first scene of real bustling activity since the opening day. Very many of the new comers brought their ‘‘traps” along to stay the meet out, and e tents were quickly m demand, and the jing tents filled to the last berth. nam ae ZXPARSS WASOm, ig drawn by two grays, scooting fhscugh the wants hone beaded wach ey is @ povelty, and at the same time a most decided convenience thet could not well be dispensed with.

THE RELIGIOUS BXRBECISRS OF SATURDAY consisted ef the usual devotional meeting and two —— listening to the afternoon Teaching getting a ikling and being driven i the plit into two pi » which found refuge in the two lar, tents, where ge experience meetings were held. _ mb the morning, at 10 0’clock, Rev. Mr. Mc- Laren, of Uniontown, occupied one of the tents and delivered a sermon from the words, “The Sen of Man came toseek and save that which ‘was lost.” At the same hour Rev. J. W. Cornelius preached in the other tent from LoD of scripture roading, “I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I, bat Christ liveth in me.” Both sermons were fuil of earnest words and spirited exhortations to the unconverted. ; On Saturday evening Rev. Mr. Hobbs occu- led the pulpit, and for the firet time the seats fh the circle began to fill up, the audience numbering about 350. He cl for his text words appropriate for the service, and for nearly an hour eloquently discuased therefrom, and those who bad just arrived began to catch the spirit of the camp and the mercury in the iritual thermometer went up rapidly, and the shouts and responses were loud and frequent. THE STAR ACTS AS A SPUR. The speaker alluded to the city press as speaking of their lack of enthusiasm, and called upon those present not to allow the mect- ing to go by default, but to wake up tothe great importance of working for victory. This produced ® good efiect, and the meeting closed with every manifestation of increased in- terest. SUNDAY MORNING dawned upon a camp all alive with preparations for a determined “advance all along the line,” and praise and prayer meetings resounded all over the field from six o’clock till the pioas sounds were drowned in the hum of thousands of voices chatting and gossiping, about the mid- dle of the forenoon. The day could not have been finer if the most skiliful worker in “(ld Prob’s” weather shop had gotten it up for the occasion. Clear as a bell, delightfully cool, with golden sunshine filtering throngh the green leaves, aud every particle of dust held down by a tiny drop of water, the most miserable weath er grumbler could have suggested no improve- ment. As early as 9 o’clock carriages began to arrive from the surrounding country bearing young couples and full families, until hundreds of vebicies were parked on the ground allotted to them, and the occupants were sauntering about the circle or promenading the woods. The firet train from ‘ashington, or rather the first section of the train, brought . hundreds to the camp, and two more sec speedily following poured out their iive con till the grounds were filled with over four thou- sand bumsn beings. TRE SUNDAY SERVICES. t service at the stand as cond: i. 1 in the epistle of James, 34 chap. léth verse: “The fervent, efectual prayer of the righteous man availeth much.” His sermon lasted more than an hour, and was delivered to ence of about fifteen hundred persons. ated by the text, it related to the great importance of prayer, and the great resaits to be derived from being often found at the Throne of Grace. He discussed the objections which have been urged by skeptics against prayer, and in an abie manner refuted them all, asserted that we might as well give up the ebureb and take away the Bible as to take away belief in the efficacy of prayer. Previous to the sermon, Kev. B. P. Brown stated that the expense of the camp would reach about eight hundred dollars, and he asked for a liberal collection trom those present to defray this expense. At two o’ciock the usual children’s meeting took place at the main stand, and about 20 little ones participated and were very interest- ingly entertained by Mr. Woodward, Mrs. Lin- ville and others. THE GREAT SERVICE OF THE DAY, however, was the sermon by Rev. Thos. Guard, of Baltimore, at three o’clock p. m. There were probably 2,500 persons about the circle at that hour, and every available seat was occa- pred and all the open space about the stand was filled by persons in camp chairs. His text was selected trom the last clause of the 1th verse of the 3d chapter of 2d Corinthians, and for about two hours be held the audience to the closest attention by his eloquence. Before the sermon Key. Mr. Brown was on band, and told over to the audience his expense Dill, and said that after al! his urging in the morning only $7; had been taken up. He wanted more, and must have it. He got it. Very quickly after the eermon the visitors began to leave the grounds, and carriages and cars were rapidly bearing them “‘home again.” SUNDAY NIGHT SERVICES. At 5 o’clock p.m. Rey. Mr. Norris occupied the stand and preached from the {words: “, oolish Galatians, who bath bewitched you,” Xe. ‘The audience was contracted again to about 300, but the service was characterized by were continued till 10 o’clock p. m. HALLELUJAH CRORUS AND FINALR. lfardly had the amen of the benediction been pronounced before about one hundred colored people made the woods rmg with one of their n air hymos, following it up with prayer and shouting. The whites soon surrounded them, and for about an hour clapping of bands, sing- ing, praying and shouts of “hallelujah” re- sounded through the woods. The exercises throughout the day were sand- wiched with experience meetings, prayer meet- ings, and gatherings for the promotion of holi- ness, and there was scarcely an idle moment during the day, all combining to make @ season of earneet christian labor and enjoyment. THE DINING ROOMS, as might be expected, were a center of attrac- tion, and large crowds hovered about them til! the dinner was announced, when it required quite force tosell and take up the tickets. Notwithstanding the pressure, Milliken & Ben- ser were equal to the occasion, and hundreds were dined at their eating court from 12 to 3 o’clock. About 300 chickens were iced proportion, ‘while “tons” of vegetables went Ay hod all food products. lee cream and cake finished the bill of fare, and pot a complaint was heard from any one present. There was plenty, and the quality good. A COURTING COUPLE. ‘While the crowd homeward bound were wait- ing at the depot, one of the many coupies present, apparently oblivious of all the world snd the rest of mankind, indulged themselves in a little cor sceue. With his r ear—what? metimes she sighed, and then and then she cried and laughed b; heart went pity-pat, and hers went pity Ze- kiel.”” This scene was kept up for nearly an hour, and though the spoony couple were the “observed of all observers,” and many laugh and jeer were heard at their expense, they kept right on and attended to business. When and where it ended no one bere knows, for the cars at length bore them md the gaze of the campites. The day ended happily, no doubt, for them, as for ait, and, let us hope, profitably to those who joined in the worship in tue wood B. can tell’ she blushed, yy turns. “His TERRE IS POR SALE at the Ebbitt House ” a Z | i 2 5 i 8 BE i J Fist8 i aeanee EbndzeNd | Tue Pay or THE or Prsiic Wi officer never piepaTed & par~ were made up by the several superintendents | and examined and an Gay of July last, by miasioners, to con- solidate all the semi-monthly roils dating back | for nearly @ year, containing about 2,000 names, | into one general roll.
