STATE REFORM SCHOOL BURNED.
TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF TEE
BUILDING.
BUT LITTLE Sal WE'D.
NO LIVES LOST.
RESULT OF GAS EXPE.DSION.
Loss $4,000; Insurance $25, 900.

1t will be sorrowful intelligence to the
people of this state to learn of the total
obstruction by fire of the large building of
the Vermont reform school at Waterbury.
which took place before daylight on Satur-
day morning.
The fire caught about a. m. from some
defect in 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 rctort, which prevented access to
the room. The fire thus spread unchecked.
There was little wind. and the fire burned
g straight up" extending throughout the
structure, the interior and roof burning out
and the walls falling in, till the whole
building was only heap of ruins. Mr..
and Mrs. Fairbank We're both unfortunately
absent Had Mr.. Farbank been there, it
is probable that his familiarity with the
water works, and 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 dormtory.
This was done safely, without accident,
and the boys were taken to the hotel at
Waterbury, where they now have tempo
rary quarters. But little of the contents of
| the building was saved.
| THE BUILDING
| was the best reform school building in New
| England. 1t was of brick, with front
Of 1875 feet, the middle portion being four
| stories high, As by 55 feet, with wings of
three stores on each side of 40 by 45 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
1871, at cost for building and fixtures of
| $4,000 The cost of the old work
shop, which formed one of the ellis of
the new building, is not included in
those figures. The building was con-
| sidercd particularly well protected against
fire, having a large tank in the attic,
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 appears to have been in putting
the gas works inside, in small flre-prooi
building. The gas was made from crude
petroleum oil, and the retort was not fire
proof. How much the loss of Mr.. ant
Mrs. Fairbank and of the teachers ant
assistants, who lived in the building, may
be. we are not Informed but it is plair
that the loss to the state must exceed $50,
900. This will be reimbursed to the amour
of $25, 800 by

There is not the slightest foundation for

agent of the government in London. Sec
rotary Bristow stated this morning, in
presence of several gentlemen, that lie
never talked with a correspondent on the
subject, and that the story was manufac-
tured out of whole cloth. 1t is understood
that friends of Henry Clews have been
pressing HIM for this position. In the event
that Cattell does not accept the position the
president will offer it to Clews.

LONDON, January 39.-The city candi-
dates addressed their constituents last
night. Baron Rothschild said that, in his
opinion, Mr.. Gladstone's promised remis-
sion of taxes would involve loss of {. OOO,-
600 sterling to the revenue. He suggested
that the deficiency be met by system OF
licenses for all persons engaged in trade
and commerce.
Mr.. Goschen declared himself in favor of
the integrity of the empire, by which he
meant no "home rule" and the maintain.
ance OF present relations with the colonies.
He favored the advancement of the work
ing class by education and the removal
OF burdensome taxation, but was opposed
to the government providing employment
for them in times of scarcity, because such
relief would sap the spirit Of independence.
William FL. Smith, the Conservative
candidate for Westminster, also spoke at
q public meeting. He stated that during
his recent visit to the United States he
had full opportunity to observe the cor
rupting tendencies Of the democratic in
situations which the Liberals sought to
introduce into England.
Several meetings were held where the
speakers were compelled to stop.
There are apprehensions of disturb
ances at Greenwich this afternoon, where
Gladstone speaks. The thoroughfares will
be closed before he commences. All
troops are ordered to their barracks.
