SERIOUS FIRE IN SYDNEY.

Damage About £30,000. Four Firemen Injured. United Press Association — By Eleotrio Telegraph— Copyright Sydney, October S A great fire ia* raging m the vicinity of the Redfem railway station. The fire commenced m Hudson's large timber yard, crossed Regent street, and demolished the whole of a block i f business places. Thirteen braidings are already gone. Many other buildings are seriously damaged. The brigade have the fire m hand. Several firemen are m the hospital injured. The whole of the fire department is engaged at the scene The fire partially burned premises m Pitt street. A fierce westerly gale ia blowing. Sydney, October 9 The fire was the fiercest and quickest spreading ever seen m Sydney Within a few minutes the timber yard and buildings were alight. The gale drove a huge body of fhmes acrosa the narrow thoroughfare, at d the tire licked up a row of tenements opposite. The occupants had do time to make an exit by the front doors, and had to retreat through a back yard, where they were hemmed ia by a high brick wall surmounted by broken bottles. They were rescued with great difficulty by means of ladders, which were lowered over the wall, and as the panic striken women and phildreri were taken up many were cut with the glass. The firemen worked gallantly. Twenty bu6ir ness pUces were wholly or partially destroyed, while the burning debris was carried into Pitt street, some distance away, and destroyed a cottage and damaged other premises. The buildings were mostly old, and of no great value. There were 260 firemen engaged, and of these four were irjared, one having a leg broken. Hudson's is valued at £8000. The total damage is about £30 000. Owing to the fact that the locality is crowded with workmen's residences, an appalling lots of life must have resulted had the fire occurred at night.

M. DE ROUGEMONT.

United Preßs' A«sociation— By Electric telegraph— Copyright London, October 8 The Daily Chronicle has successfully ex posed Rougemont. Mr William May declares him to be a Sydney resident, named Grein, who promoted a diving apparatus. The Chronicle states that Rougemono's family are farmera m Neufchatel, Switzerland. He himself was a courtier, and went to Austra lia early m the seventies m the retinue of a statesman who paid a visit to the colonies.

CHURCHES.

1 Salvation Army. — The services held yesterday, conducted by Ensign and Mrs ABlin, were well attended and full of interest. At night "Jessica's Frst Prayer" was given, illustrated by a fino set of life model slides, and was listened to with rapt atten tion by a large audience. Wesleyan. — The services at Baring Square Chuich on Sunday were conducted by Rev R. Taylor, the morniDg subject being "B^p ism." The sermon \* as a clear sUtement of the doctrine as held by Methodists, and the discourse bore evidence of muuh thought and ret earch. In the even ing, Mr Taylor dealc with the subjects of " Law and Grace.' St Stsphen's. — Notwithstanding thn moisture o.i Sunday there wis a fairly good congregation at Ht. Stephen's m the morning, and a Full church m the evening. The Vicar celebrated Holy Communion at 830 a m., and read the prayers at the morning and evening services. The Rev. A. C. Hogginß, Diocesan Inspector of Sunday Schools, preached at the two latter services. The discourses which were very able ones, were founded upon :— -Galatians vi 7—B " True and false religion " ; and Exodus n. 9 " The training of children." The] examination of the Sunday Schools began on Saturday and will be completed to-day, Dromore being visited m the afternoon. By a singular coincidence wet weather has now been experienced for the examination for five successive years, resulting m a good many absentees, but the attendances on this occasion were extremely good. Parish Gathering. — The annual parish gathering m connection with St. Philip and St. James' Church, Waterton, was celebrated m the Library Hall on Thursday last by a tea and concert, and passed off most successfully. There were four tables pro vided for the tra, which were given by Mrs Smith, Mrs Bell, Miss Grigp, and the batchelors— Misses Ashton, Banks, and Geeler being m charge of the latter. It is almost unnesessary to add that the tables contained an abundant supply of good things, and for an hour and a half the ladies who presided at them were kept very busy attending to their visitors. The oonoert was opened by a well play pianoforte solo by Mrs; Dee, and the following contri bute i solos:— Mrs Rich, Misses Watson, Rutledge, Messrs Dobson, J. and A. Jamieson, V. Hutton, and E. Grigg. Mrs John Grigg acted as accompanist. The Rev. J. Skinner gave a short and humorous speech m his usual happy style, and Messrs Dobson and E. Griger delighted the audience with an original and interesting dialogue Taken as a whole the concert was a great success, and the musical portion of the programme was admirably tendered, al though some of the singers were suffering from colds. A hearty vote of thanks having been accorded to the performers, and those who provided the tea, the very erjoyable gathering was brought to a close by the singing of the " National Anthem."

OBITUARY.

Mr John Taylor. It ib our me'ancholy duty to-day to chronide the death of one more of our most respected resident) 1 , m the person of Mr John Tay'.or, mechanical engineer. Mr - Taylor has been long suffering from an internal complaint-, and though he suffered I uncomplaining, and bore his afrlction with a etern eilent courage, his sufferings were J; none the less severe. Some time ago his illness took the form of inflammation of the f intestines, and it was to this he succumbed on Sunday m his fifty-eighth year. Mr a Taylor was born at Cobairdy, m Bauflshire, j. Scotland, m lE4O, and there received that I fairly liberal education which m those days, , as now, wa9 avail vble m a'rrnst every parish iv Scotland. Ilis father, Mr James Taylor, was a celebrated plough and agricultural implement maker, and it was m his hop that deceased oeq-iirpd hia first engineering ekill and hi 3 first facilitj m mechani s. He Eought perfection m these m other parts of Great Britain, m the standard workshops of the count? y, aad when m 1833 he sought these shores he brought with him the f cunning h-ind (>f the skilled workman, and ripe experience of inestimable value. He landed first m Wellington, but was only a short time there when Mesßra Booth and McDonald requisitioned hia services, and m their iulerests ho worked m Christchurch for a time and was then cent m turn to t.+ke charge of their branches at Tbornbury and Invorcargill, coming back to Christchu-ch to take a responsible at headquarters. In 1 88 the well-known firm of Keid and Grey secured him as their minoger m Ashburton, and this position he held till failing health - and threatened blindness compelled him to relinquish it m 1896. Recovering sufficiently to resume work he started on his own account m Ashburton, bub his term has been short, and he his paid the last debt of ' nature and left a vacant place, Mr Taylor was twice married, and his widow and three children survive him.
