Burning OF the Reform School.


We are sorry to be obliged to chronicle
the total destruction by fire OF the large
State Reform School building at Water
bury. which took place before daylight
Saturday morning.
The fire caught about 8 A. NJ, from
some defect hi the gas works. which were
placed in the basement, in the northwest
corner of the main building A slight
explosion was first heard. When those in
charge hurried to the spot, they were met
by clouds of dense smoke, rolling from
the room containing the gas retort, which
prevented access TO the room. The hre
thus spread unchecked. There was little
wind, aud the fire burned straight np."
extending throughout the structure the
interior and roof burning out and the
walls falling in, till tho whole building
was only a heap of ruins. Mr. and Mrs.
Fairbank were both unfortunately absent.
Had MIR. Fairbank been there, it is prob
able that his familiarity with the wator
works, AID the presence Of mind, would
have enabled him to make more efficient
fight against the destroying element. Those
present, of course, turned their attention
to getting the boys from their dormitory.
This was done safely, without accident,
and the boys were taken to the hotel at
Waterbury, where they now have tempo.
rary quarters.
We learn that little was saved Of the
contents. The building was the best re-
form school building in New England. 1t
was of brick, with a front of l25 feet,
the middle portion being four stories high,
As by So feet, with wings Of three stories
on each side of 40 by As feet. Two ellis
extended to the rear from the wings, each
81 feet long, occupied by the workshop,
school.room, dormitory, etc. Most OF the
structure was new, erected IN 1861, at a
cos. for building and fixtures of SAT, 800.
The cost Of the old workshop. which form.
ed one of the ellis of new building, is not
included in those figures. The building
was considered particularly well protected
against fire, having large tank in the at.
tic, with hose and pipes in the hall of each
story ready for instant use, and by which
water could be thrown into every room in
the building. 1t was provided also with
outside tanks, steam pumps, etc. The
mistake nppoars to have been in putting
this gas works inside the building, instead
Of outside, in small tire-proof building.
The gas was made from Grade petroleum
oil, and the retort room was not fire proof.
How much the loss Of Mr.. and Mrs. Fair.
bank aud Of the teachers and assistants,
who lived in the building, may be we are
not informed; but it is plain that the
loss to the State must exceed $4,000.
This will be reimbursed to the amount of
S25, 500 by the Insurance. 1t was in.
