Early Thursday morning one of the Rose Polytechnic watchmen discovered fire in the north end of the machine shop. An alarm was turned in and the fire department responded promptly. The intense cold slightly retarted the work of the firemen, but they soon had the tiara Co under control, though when they arrived on the ground it looked a* though the whole buildiug would be destroyed. Th© fire originated in a wooden chute leading from the wood working department on the second floor to the furnace, to which it carried shavings. Much of the belting, shafting and wood work were destroyed, and more of it seriously damaged. The Westing-

house engine and dynamo were bnrled under the debris which fell from the second floor. The damage to the bnilding is about $5,000, but that on the machinery and contents has not yet been estimated. The insurance en the bnilding is $10,000, and on the contents $20,000. As soon as the loss is adjusted the work of repairing will be commenced, and the building will be ready for business again within thirty days. In the meantime there will be no sertons interference with the school work. "J.

McKeen, of this city, was certified to the Supreme Court of the United States in the United States Court of Appeals in Chicago last Monday.

Some years ago the county commissioners concluded to heat the jail by steam and put into the building for that purpose a boiler and the necessary pipes. A. D. Weeks, the sheriff, was compelled to employ a man at $40 per month to run the machine. At the end of 28 months he put in a bill for $1,120, which the board of commissioners refused to pay. He appealed to the circuit court which held that when the services of a skilled and competent person are required to manage a steam engine, made part of the jail by the county commissioners, the county is liable for such services, and rendered judgment in favor of the sheriff for the) amount claimed. An appeal to the supreme court was taken by the county board and the decision of the court below has been sustained. Mr Weeks' claim is for 48 months, his whole term, and amounts to $1,920, with interest on each month's wages from the day they became due.
