to the tower of the building. AT first it
war feared that the entire structure, one
OF the most beautiful in the land, would
burn, but, by staying in the tower, and
striking the alarm bells, the operator
succeeded in calling out the Fire De-
parlment, and saving the main building.
Water had to be thrown $50 feet high,
compelling two engines to play into the
same hose. BY means of long ropes the
hose was drawn to the top Of the hall,
and there used to great advantage. 1t
is impossible to estimate the damage.
