Soldiers HOME Burned.

At I o'clock yesterday morning, a
fire was discovered in the basement OF
tho administration building at the
Soldiers Orphans Home, at Xenia Ohio
and owing to the poor facilities for the
extinguishment OF the fire and the dis
tance of ths building from the town,
the flames were nader full h-adway
before the engines arrived. The six
hundred children a! th. Home had just
finished breakfast in the main build
ing and returned to their cottages when
the fire made its appearance in the
first story. Owing to the dense smoke,
which quickly filed the rooms, the
widest confusion prevailed among the
teachers, who vain!y sought to return
to their rooms in the third story to
save their personal effects. Several
members Of the Legislature, who were
visiting the institution, narrowly es-
capped with their lives. Senator Rich
ards and wife escaped by dropping
from second-story window into blank
cts held by men below. Senator Sa-
bin and wife. Representative Dodds
and Mrs. Ford, wife of the steward, saw
ed themselves by leaping from second,
story windows 70 the porch below, from
which they dropped to the ground in
safety. In two hours the entire build
ing and contents were destroyed, in
cluding the personal effects of teachers
and officials. No lives were lost and
no serious accidents are reported. The
loss to the State by tho fire will reach
about ST., 500, upon which there is NJ
insurance. The origin of the fire is
unknown.

Media, few miles distant, was select

road in 1887 the inhabitants numbered
about 100, but its growth since then,
and more particularly during the past
twenty years, has been very remark
able. The site of Wilmington was first
settled in 1888, but a regular town was
not planned until 1871, In 1777, at:
