herewith transmit report received by

fire occurring in that institution, on the
night of May 81.
From the evidence already received, it
seems probable that the fire originated on
the roof Of the carpenters shop, from fire
ball thrown from the cemetery adjoining.
The matter, however. is still under lEvesti-
CATION, and should different conclusion be

SIR have the honor to report that on
Saturday night last, the twenty. first instant,
at quarter before eleven O'Clock. fire was
disco,e ed by Waterman John L. Brown on
the single roof of the large carpenter shop,
who gave the alarm from the fire telegraph
box stationed here. The fire soon burnt
through the roof, igniting the dry material
stored in the loft or attic, and owing to the
very Infammable material of the building
and contents, and the scarcity Of water, the
fire extended rapidly, and soon enveloped
the whole building in flames.
This building was about ninety feet long,
forty five feet wide, and forty-fve to fifty
feet high from base to ridge the timbers
being very large and heavy.
The basementrOo fifteen feet high, was
used for pick room; second floor, fifteen
feet high, for carpenters, cabinet makers,
and cOopers' shop. In one cor
ner was separate room, fifteen feet square, |
tor storing paints tools and hardware.
The loft or attic was used for storing |
choice lumber, collins and other materials. |
this building at the south end was |
4 stable fifteen feet wide, with stalls for nine |
horses. On the north end was large wagon |
she'd sixteen feet wide. All the buildings in
he yard are wood, with shingle roofs. All |
N the east side were burned, including
'orn meal room and contents, fem ale prison |
rs cells, moss room, bath room, engine |
house and dead house. The horses and |
wagons were all saved, except one wagon;
verything else in the different buildings
7ere turned. Not a prisoner escaped or
vas injured. The aggregate loss is proba.
ly not less than $4,000.
Very respectfully.
