ner OF It's construction and the material used.
All partitions were Of wood. There were two
transverse and one longitudinal partition on
each floor. He considers the entire structure un.
adapted for the purpose for which II was used,
and had this DIRE occurred during school hours
the loss OF life would have been very great. The
FIRE originated from the stove In the hallway
under the stairs the draught upward through
the well OF stairs was strong, carrying the flame
upward, when IT gained considerable head way
before the arrival OF the fire engines The stairs,
Railways and partitions on both sides were de
stroyed, the third floor nearly and the roof en-
tirely destroyed. Many other portions OF the
building are nearly destroyed by cutting and by
water. The walls are more or less sprung
especially on the west side. Any attempt 10
repair this building, or to restore 1t to Its original
condition, is prohibited by the building regua-
tlons as well as by the laws Of construction. Mr.
Plowman, therefore, recommends so soon as the
underwriters have made their surveys In regard
to the fire risks, that 1t be taken down and the
matelial piled up for future use. The District
Commissioners have given orders that the chain
gang be set to work at once pulling down and re.

The Ice In The Potomac.

The pleasant weather Of the past few diys
has had the effect to sufficiently clear the Poto-
mac from the Aqueduct brdgeto the Long bridge
70 that navigation is not impeded. Just above
the Aqueduct bridge tho Ice companies have
large number OF men at work gathering the ice,
which is from twelve to sixteen inches thick. At
the Three Sisters" the ice stilI remai-s ~ great
mountainous heaps, as Is the case r" IN this point
rs far up as the Great Falls. At Ine Long bridge
great heaps Of ice remain piled up against that
Ptructure, and It is feared that when the thaw
does come, this bridge, as we'll as the railroad
bridge to the south Of II, will be greatly impaired,
" sone portions OF them are not entirely carried
away. which will cause loss Of several thousand
dollars. Below the Long bridge to the Sixth
street Whar there Is q small channel open, but
from the last named wharf down the stream as
far as the eye can reach 1t is but one solid cake
Of Ice
