cheney and criminal cnrelessness Of contractors.
Ono morning last Weck, Professor Louis Ruttor,
on entering his recitation-room, discovered the
charred. and partially burned remnants Of vain
sco.ing back OF the .stoyo. On examination; the
startling fact was disclosed TINT the University
had been on fire, and goue quietly out without
any human aid or knowledge. 4 portion
Of the wainecotiDg, over yard square,
under the point whore the stove-pipe
entred tho chimney, had caught fire, consumed,
and fallen down on to tho floor; and Why the
floor did not ignite Providence alono can e1plain.
Tho chimney had been .Eo constructed that a
large hoo was left ju8t above tho baso OF the
1ocr for register, which tho carpenter had
simply covered with the wainscoting. The Trus-
tees surely have now received q strong hlnt to
