FIRE IN GEORGETOWN.
Rad yiobt for ths Fire Bov,,

About 10 o'clock last night an alarm of fire was
turned in from box 73l. The alarm was occa-
stoned by the discovery OF smoke issuing from
the windows OF the warehouse Of the -four in
spector situated on Water street, Just above High
street, Georgetown. The fire was discovered to
be in the rear of a building occupied by Horace
Jarboe as a coopershop, adjoining the inspectors
office, and fronting on Water street. Owing to
the depth of the snow the engines could not make
their accustomed speed, and the fire was well
under way when the apparatus arrived. The fire
spread through the cooper-shop, completely gut
ting the building, and communicated TO the roof
Of the adjoining building, on the corner of Water
and High streets, occupied by the Washington
vinegar works.
1t also entered the lower part of the inspectors
office, which was stored with -four. Mr.. Jarboe
sustains the greatest damage. The shop was
stored with barrels a large number of which
were saved. He has On Insurance on the building
Of 81 900, and also the same amount on its con-
tents, both being in the Arlington Company.
The damage to the vinegar works building,
which is owned by David Edes, was not great,
and the inspectors Office sustained very little
damage.
In goIng to the fire the hose carriage OF No.
company ran into pile Of sand at the corner OF
THentieth and X streets and was upset. The
damage to the carriage was go great that it
could not 20 into service. Luckily, none Of the
men were injured.

A Secure Vault.

The special and powerful tools now used By
burglars and their ingenuity and persistencs in
working out their plans for spoilation makes it
necessary that the vaults or cafes that are to pro-
tect the immense values in the custody OF none
tary institutions should be of the best and strong
est character.
The German-AmeIican Savings Bank, corner
of Seventh and + streets, (Fsderal buildIngs,)
has low completed and in use q vault and safe
that are most scientifically constructed to resist
the attacks OF FIRE and the appliances Of burglars
The inner vault is seven by nine feet and eight
feet high, having walls of unusual thickness,
composed Of wrought iron, cast and Bessemer
steel welded, and Franklinite, q combination
that affords the greatest protection against the
drills and other tools Of burglars. The intense
natural hardness OF the Franklinite cannot be
soRened by heat or by the compound blow-pipe,
as can the artificial hardness Of tempered steel.
The different layers of metal are bound together
by steel and iron conical screw bolts and riyets.
BsIs Of railroad iron, laid so as to interlock or
dovetsil together, leaving smooth surfaces, give
further protection to tho top and floor of the vault
partition divides the vault into two apartments;
Of these contains the boxes for special deposits
and the other is for the use Of the bank.
The entrance TO this deposit vault Is through
two doors, an outer and an inner one, each three
inches thick. These are made with tongues inter-
locking with grooves in the jambs; as these
tongues and grooves extend all around the doors
peculiar III hinsss s are TsGgiTe, The Patent Lever
doors, weighing two and half tons each, are
opened and closed without exertion. There are
twelve large round bolts to each door; these are
thrown out on all fices simultaneously and are
locked by double "DeIter" bank locks. These
locks can be used so that either dial Will unlock
or by running thumb screw are arranged so that
both dLals must be unlocked, requiring the pres
epce of two persons.
The other apartment Of the vault is for the use
OF the bank 1t has similar doors Of entrance, and
contains q safe three and half inches thick,
Weighing $500 pounds made Of the same combinR-
tion OF materials as the vaults; It also has
double "Dexter" lock. These locks have an at
tachment so arranged that, even were It possible
TO force them Of the bolts Of the door would cill
be held last.
The vault was made in sections, and completed
In its present position. 1t was manufactured by
Herring & Co., Of New York. The safe and locks
are also from their works. The vault rests on
solid masonry Of immtn nse thickness, and rs o
further protection against fire Is surrounded by
massive walls of the most approved materials.

Burning OF the DC Paw Female Col
legP.

New ALBANY, IND, March S.-About
4 o'clock this morning a fire was dlscov-
cred in the roof of the De Paw Female
College. situated in the east end Of the
citv, and the flames soon spread, threat
ening the destruction OF the entire editice.
The prompt arrival of the fire depart
ment and an hours earnest labor got the
fire under control, not, however, until
considerable damage had been done the
building and furniture. There were about
hundred female students in the building,
some thirty-fve or forty boarding IN the
institution. They soon became panic
stricken, the boar1ers rushing to their
rooms and throwing their trunks and
clothing from the windows to the ground
be,ow, and from thence they rushed
from the building almost wild with
alarm, but fortunately all escaped with
out injury. The building is considerably
damaged, the loss being estimated at $lO,-
600, but it is doubtless covered by in-
surance.
The building was originally erected in
1873. under the Indiana Conference oi
the M. T. Church. A few years later Mr..
DelaW eHuO"tO luo iuStltNNlOu WIN SOH-
siderable funds, when the east wing was
erected, completing the building as orig
inally designed. The entire building
cost about $50 000 The college has for
the past SIX years been in charge
Of President Rowley, who will be
loser by the fire. The young ladies
boarding in the building were kindly
cared for by our citizens, and their wants
looked after. The Board Of Directors
and the Faculty held meeting to night
and it is understood provisions will be at
once made for rebuilding the burnt por-
tion OF the college. We are unable to
learn whether there will be suspension
of the school, but presume that the pupils
will be cared for elsewhere and
the school continued till the
repairs can be made. Many of them
are from distance, and their friends
will be gratifed to hear that they are
safe, and their interests looked after by
the Board and Faculty. The students
lost a portion of their clothing, but 10
what extent we are unable to learn.

Condition OF the Western Union Tel
egrapn Company.

New YORK, March 8.-President
Orten, in his report to the Board OF
Directors of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company, shows deficit up to the
Slst of December last of S549,3S9. The
business of the current quarter, from the
official returns and a careful
estimate, will be; receipts, g.
22O,SlO; expenses, sl,500,7 1876; net
profits, S7200l4; deducting from
this amount the deficiency spoken of and
accruIng quarters interest on bonded
debt, also sinking fund, there is left
$685. go all of which residue will be
expended during the quarter, upon the
construction which it has been deemed
advisable to authorize; while therefore,
President 0rton says tho business of the
current quarter in spite of the severe de-
preston in all branches of trade
and the reduction of rates by our
competitors will be nearly up to
that of the same period last year, yet,
after providing for the interest and
sinking fund payable on the first day of
May next, there will be no funds on hand
wherewith to pay dividend. In view
of these facts the Executive Committee
have adopted resolution recommending
TO the directors to postpone action upon
the question of dividend until the next
quarterly meeting of the Board.
