Hon. W. w. Bolster has prepared his report
on the Reform School, which will be presented
N tho G,varnor ond ConnoiI.

Hon. W. w. Bolster has prepared his report
on the Reform School, which will be presented
to the Governor and Council:
Mr. Bolster says that in proof of the good results
of the interviews of the visiting committee with the
boys lit may he stated that with but one or two ex-
ceptons they have been convinced that their fanced
wrongs and abuses were due to their own msbehaY-
ior and violation of the rules of the school, and that
their punishments were deserved. We converse
with each boy, learu his history, encourage him
In his duties. and he generally leaves with the
idea that he has some connection with the outside
world and that there still something left in it for
Lin to enjoy
Mr.. Bolster fully endorses the management. He
suggests that the law be so changed that boy may
be committed to the school during his minority sub
ject to release by the trustees as provided by law.
and in case he becomes demOralizing TO the school
by vicious conduct he may bs returned to the court
Tor sentence to State prison.
The committee have received 70 letters from the
boys. These furnish evidence of the good manage
ment OF the school and the progress Of the boys in
their studies. Sixteen complaints of i'll treat
ment. but were not sustained
MIR. Bolster warmly advocates,a change to the fam
lily system Where reform schools organized
into families of 20 or 80 they brought into more
Intimate relations wi h their instructors aud more
direct moral and industrial influence is exerted.
This intimacy is more in accordance with the ordin-
ary relations OF youth in home life. The family
system affords more correct ideal Of home great
er freedom of action. enlarged experience, more
sympathy.
To adopt the system in this State would not re-
quire large outlay OF money. 1t is believed S10,-
900 would be sufficient for several years A
large amount of the work of building cottages
would be doIe by the boys in the mechanical de-
partment.
The mechanical department gives unmistakabIe
success IL is better calculated to bring out the en-
ergies of the boys than farm the or chair shop MIR.
Bolster s strongly in favor of variety OF industries
in the school, and thinks in this way it might be
made from one half TO three-fourhs selfsustaining
An appropriation of $4,000 for the ensuing two
years will meet all running expenses of the
chanical shop and of enlarging it and buying more
TOOLS
The water supply of the school Is very poor. Mr..
Bolster warmly urges the introduction of SebagO
water at an estimated cost of $1,000. better sys-
TEN of ventilation is also needed. This would re-
quire an outlay of $500. The heating arrangements
are insufficient and Mr.. Bolster advises putting in
an additional boiler of 20-horse power. IL would
cost about S20U0 General repairs which might
cost S2600 are needed,

A MYSTERY.
A Fine Residence Demolished by an Ex-
PIssiOn-six People Buried i'm ahe Ruins

PHILADELPHIA, Dec pa fine brick resi-
dence, owned by John Gates OF Butler, Pa,
was entirely demolished last night and the
family, consisting of John Gates, wife and
four children, all grown up were buried in the
ruins. Fortunately the entire family were res
cued Without having sustained fatal injuries
although all OF them were more or less hurt
1t appears that they retired about 10 O'Clock,
and about two hours later, Winnie, daughter
VINO slept down stairs, awoke and noticed
tiny blue flame playing on the hearthstone
She got up and put it out, aud then called her
brother John who with light went to the
cellar to investigate He had no sooner opened
the door than terrible explosion followed and
the building was raised from its foundations
and came down mass of ruins. People liy-
ing d quarter OF mile away felt the shock
and in short time willing hands were at
work trying to save the lives of six human be-
1ngs who were known to have been ia the
building at the time the explosion occurred.
The trst one taken out was Leonard, aged IS:
he was painfully bruised, and was thought to
have sustained internal injuries. John Gates
Jr., the next found, was badly burned about
the face, neck and arms, but was not seriously
hurt. Mr.. and Mrs. Gates escaped with seve re
bruises. The daughters, Winnie and Emily,
were found In the coal vault uniniured. The
escape of all from instant death is miraculous
There is good deal of mystery Surrounding
the accident. There was no natural gas in the
house, and the gas mains are 80 feet away, and
are buried three feet underground. IL is sup
posed that there was leak in the main line,
ant that during the late cold spell the ground
was frozen so as to seal all escape. This being
the case, the gas impregnated the ground and
found its way TO the cellar through the nocks
and crevices. An investigation WILL however,
be instituted at once.

Thursday night some parties entered the
dwelling house of Mr.. Dyer, treasurer of Pow
