The FIRE ut Central School building is
shrouded in mystery and it is not definite
ly known how the conflagration started.
About the first person who noticed the fire
was Mrs. VIM. Thompson. The lady
aroused Janitor William Little, who rush
ed to the bell rope and began sounding the
alarm. The rope was 10 the vicinity Of
the blszs and soon parted. In short time
the ward reels appeared Oh the scene. The
boys iu2ged at the hose for all they were
worth, but before the first company reach
ed the top of the building it was found
that there was a shortage Of hose. The
next company had a like expsri-
ence, and 10 add to the vexation
the joints Of the hose and the nozzles
leaked great streams, thus spending part
of the pressure that should have reached
the upper portion OF the building. For
about sn hour it was a question whether
the Central School would be completely
destroyed or not, as the flames licked mp
the wood portion Of the edl6ce with great
rapidity. 1t vas expected that when the
bell tumbled in it would make q great
crash, but the the noise was hardly distin-
%guishable. About 1890 the roof caved in.
The firemen had the flames undor control
by this time; bat they showed disposition
to break oat afresh and the continued ap-
plication OF water was necessary. Until
an early hour yesterday morning the fire
companies continued at work.
The cause OF the fire is unknown. A
couple of ladies who were passing on the
south side of the building say they saw a
man run out of the door and down the
alley back of the cdifce about half An hour
before the alarm wa sounded. There is
enough insurance TO cover the loss, which
will be six or seven thousand dollars.
