Chestnut Street Schoolhouse,


Chestnut street schoolhouse will probably be
ready for occupancy next Monday. and yester-
day reporter for the Press took look at the
remodeled building, in company with the
Superintendent Of School Buildings, Mr.. Pray.
The old building had entrances on the
front, and that part of the building was SO
much cut up for staircases and cloak rooms
that light and ventilation were at discount.
Then again the old clubhouse In the rear took
up so much room that the apartments on the
first aud second floors were each lighted by
only one window, and that in the rear.
The present arrangement gives side wing
about eleven feet wide and three stories hiob
constructed of brick, in which are double
stairways running from the frst to the third
story. The stairways are broad, built Of
Southern pine, with handsome ash banisters,
and broad landings All the doors on these
landings open outward. On each story, open
ing on the landings are large windows. On
tue opposite side of the building are like stair
cases and windows.
The old clubhouse has been taken away, and,
by the removal of the old wooden entrances at
the front and sides, opportunity has been
afforded to provide four large rooms on each
floor, lighted by two windows Ia the rear of
each loom, and one on the side, and corridor
eight feet wide running from north to SOUTH
This corridor will be used for cloak rooms, and
is shut off by doors from the end entries
The school rooms are spacious. 26 feet deep
by % feet inches wide, and are as we'll venti.
lated as they are well warmed and lighted In
the principals room, in the second story, new
furniture will be provided. In the third story
is broad hall, 46 X 40 feet, which can be used
for gymnasium, or wet weather playground.
The water-closets have been placed in the
cellar.
Mr.. Kimball was the architect; Mr.. j. G.
Ward, the Joiner, had the job, and Mr.. d. G.
Drinkwater the painting. One good feature of
the building is that the stairs are all under
cover, and only three long, broad steps lead
from the sidewalk into the main door. The
heating is furnished by the High School
boilers.

A Fortunate Graft.

The fishing schooner Good Templar, Of this
city, commanded by Capt. Elias Tarlton of
Newcastle and manned by crew from that
town; has arrived at Newcastle loaded
to the water with kench-salted fish.
Capt. Tarlton left the Western banks but a
few hours before they were swept by the ter
rifle gale which, on Sunday, Aug. Goth, caused
such havoc among the remaining vessels of the
fleet. He escaped the violence OF the gale,
reached the Nova Scotia coast, and anchored
in the outer roads of La Have just before the
second destructive storm broke upon the coast.
Finding his exposed position dangerous, he
weighed anchor and made sail to beat farther
up the bay, which he effected, but not without
the loss of his jib and foresail The Good Tenn
plar had wet every grain of her salt and was
SO deeply laden with her catch of fish that she
could not have lived through either Of the
gales which followed 80 closely in her wake
