The Central School Buildincr Almost a Mass of Ruins. At four o'clock last Saturday afternoon an alarm of fire was turned in from tho corner of Washington and College streets. A dense smoke emiting from from the big dome of the central school building told tho story. The beautiful school building, the pride of tho city, was on lire. Hundreds of people rushed pell mell from every direction and the wildest cxcitoment prevailed. Before the department could reach the scene flames burst forth from tho dome and those who knew how the building was constructed shook their heads significantly. Valiantly did the fire laddies fight their foe but the mansard roof with its tons of seasoned timber burned fiercely and rapidly. The first string of hose was taken through the building up into tho burning dome but on opening the scuttle it was seen the attic was a solid mass of flames and the intense heat forced the firemen to retreat. Soon four streams of water were playing upon tho building but they could not arrest the flames until they reached the ground floor. Thfeo floors and tho roof were burned in less than an hour. All the contents were destroyed with the exception of a few books which were carried out and thrown into tho yard. The firemen continued throwing- water on the ruins until long past midnight ere tho last spark was extinguished.

Tho building was constructed in 1871 and 1872 by David Jones. Tho contract price was 344,500, but tho building cost when furnished about 875,000 and coni.ractor Jones lost every dollar ho possessed in fulfilling his contract. Tho building was insured for $35,000 in fourteen different companies. Prof. Wellington's library and printing outfit was

a total loss with the exception of $200 insurance he carried on the former. Many different theories are advanced as to its origin. Prof. Wellington thinks the dome was struck by lightning dur. ing Friday's storm and that the fire had smouldered until Saturday. Several other theories are advanced, the most plausible of which was to the effect that it caught from the flues which he was burning out with paper and packing. It is probable that the rust had eaten away the lining of tho chimney between the ceiling of the third floor and the roof near the dome and at this point thelflameB were started.

The firemen had many narrow escapes by falling bricks, cornices and burning timbors. Frank McNeeley had a finger almost cut off while his brother suffers a broken hand. Ol Gill received several severe cuts and Jim Kennedy was terribly bruised by falling bricks. Dan Pickett and John Bell are in bed from injuries received and several others arc more or less injured.

It is the general impression that tho walls are uninjured. If this is true the Trustees hope to rebuild tho structure almost within the amount of the insurance money. Architects will be put to work at once and the work of rebuilding will begin as soon as a satisfactory plan is submitted. A project is on foot to have the reciation rooms confined to tho first and second floor and all the third floor converted into one largo assembly room for exhibitions and other entertainments. This project would meet with general approval.

The happy dreams in anticipation of a long vacation by some of the pupils was nipped in the bud by the quick action of the trustees Sunday afternoon. All the classes worn assigned rooms and recitations began Wednesday morning by each. There wore four vacant rooms in tho Mills building, three at the Lincoln and two at the Wilson. The old Christian church will bo utilized and two rooms in tho First Presbyterian church. Many rooms were offered and all were easily provided for.

About $2,000 worth of school books were destroyed,

How the New Tax Law Works. The best evidence offered in support of tliedemocratic argument that tho new tax law lightens the burden of taxation on private citizens and places it on wealthy corporations and trusts was exemplified right hero at homo this week by the payment of county taxes by the Big Four and Vandalia railroad companies. Last year the Big Pour company was taxed 84,098.73. this year, under the new law, it will pay into tho county treasury $9,875.05, wliilo tho Vandalia has been raised from $2,148.75 to $4,297.50, and thoj Monon in a like proportion. Thursday morning representatives of the two former roads arrived in the city and paid tho first installments, that is the Vandalia did, while the Big Four people only laid down $1,993.93, and both paid under protest. Both agents set up a howl pitiful to hear and say they will test the legality of tho new law in tho Supremo Court before they pay another cent, so they will. The now law is just what the people havo long sought and that it will stand tho test of an unprejudiced court there is not an atom of a doubt.

on. Devaney proved a very docile prisoner but on arriving at Michigan City ho refused to walk or even ride in anything but a handsome cab. As this was tho last request he would be at liberty to make for two long years the whim was gratified and he drove out to the prison with as much pomp as"a State official on a tour of investigation. Whilo there Mr, Agnew 6aw Pettit at work in the chair department and says the wifo murderer looks quite' stunning with his now hispid appentage on his upper lip. Charley Coombs is working in the wagon shops and is one of tho most obedient prisoners in the institution.
