The Fire i'm the CapitOl.

most prominent attraction OF the Library rOOn
shared in the general ruin, not even single
volume being saved. The smoke was so dense
that persons who rushed in were unablCto save
any thing, except some four or five portraits OF
the Presidents. / he marble busts, number
of splendid cases. one of them continuing 200
bronzed medals, together with all the magnif-
cent works OF art in the cases. were consumed.
The entire Library contained upwards of
G0,OO0 volumes, the loss on which is over $l25,
900. he books in an adjoining room, mum
berlnI over 10000 volumes, including the
Law Library, were saved.
II he roof of the Library was wood covered
with cement and cased over with copper. 1t has
| fallen in. \ q inch wall separates the llbra~
ry from the rest of the building ana was the
means of staying the progress ot the flames -
The parapct wall has expanded, 50 as to render
its removal necessary.
At one time it was feared THAT the domes, as
well AS the roof, of both houses. would catch
fire. Water had to be conveyed into the Capitol
from the basins IN the grounds, there being no
reservoirs in the buildings, and an engine was
shortly after introduced INTO the Rotnnda, and
did rood service he floor the Rotunda, and
all the main passage WAYS, were ailout with
water. and strewed with old carpets, hose and
rvbbsh. The roof fell in at half past !.
The Senate chamber House of Representa-
tives and Supreme Court rooms, remain unlls-
turbed. Al the valuable papers were removed
from the Senate chamber, but have since been
replaced.
Seven engines were engaged in playing up
on the flames. About dozen watchntn were
stationed about the buildings, and it is thought
tnat, had they attended to their duties, the
flames might have been put ont before serious
damage had been done The Marines station
ed at Washington were on the spot, by order Of
the Government.
The fire is said to have caught through dc
tectlyo tlue OF gas pipe, o. to have been the
work of an ncendiary.
Nothing is destroyed but the wing ccut lin
I the Library. ! he external appearance of tn
building is unchanged, save the blackene,
windows Of the Library portico.
Among the few articles saved from tn
flames, i. the original Declaration Of lndepcn

fire. as also the marble busts of Washington
II Jefferson, Lafayette, Taylor and others Tn
: portraits of several t,x- Presidents, various oil
