BIDDEFoRD SCHooLs.-The Accommodations of
the several Biddeford schools have been very
generally satisfactory, showing marked pro-
gress, and have given great encouragement to
the friends of the present school system. The
exhibition given by the High School yesterday
afternoon, was very creditable to their musical,
evolutionary and dramatic ability, and was most
pleasing to their friends, by whom the room
was filled. Remarks laudatory and critical
were made by Rev. A. L. Lane The too COM

school privileges was ably and forcibly denoun-

Probable Postponement of the
iLA1GA Worlds Jubilee. lid .
The Coliseum i'm Ruins.

Boston, April 26.-About a quarter before 8
O'Clock this evening people in various parts of
the city were startled by hearing what sounded
like peal of thunder coming from the South
West People living in the vicinity of the
Coliseum for the coming jubilee were quickly
aware of the solution as the gigantic truss, wall
and towers Of the building were Frustrated in a
mass of ruins The report of the terrible crash
was heard for miles, One of the end towers
had reached the height Of ITO feet and the truss
destroyed was 40 feet high and had clear
span of 800 feet, nearly 90, 600 feet of lumber
having been used in its construction. The wind
was blowing at the rate of 40 miles per hour
when the disaster occurred. 1t had been blow
ing more or less through the afternoon and
about four o'clock, one hundred and fifty feet
of the eastern wall of the building next to the
Providence railroad was blown down. Several
watchmen Were in the vicinity of the building
and train of cars was passing, but no one was
injured. The accident will cause only tenn
poraryy delay in the building operations. A
large force of men will be set to work to clear
away the debris and will commence at once to
put the construction in proper shape again.
Nearly dozen of the large trusses are already
finished and ready to be placed in position. At
meeting of the Executive Committee of the
Worlds Peace Jubilee and International Musi-
cal Festival, who were in session at st. James
Hotel at the time of the fall of the Coliseum, it
was unanimously voted to commence at once
the reconstruction of the Coliseum.
