A CLUB HOUSE BURNED.
The Building on Analostan Island Owned by
the Columbia Athletic Club.

The Building on Analostan Island Owned by
the Columbia Athletic Club.
Fire was discovered in the large frame club
house on Analostan Island last Saturday night,
and before help could be obtained it burned to
the ground. The house was the property of
the Columbia Athletic Club, and a resort of a
large number of members on Sundays. The
house contained large amount Of glass and
china ware, which was also totally destroyed
Yesterday morning President Hood of the club
visited the scene of the fire and carried on a
rigid investigation. He learned from O'Neill,
the trackmaster. that the club house was locked
about O'Clock Saturday afternoon. At that
time there was no light of any kind in there.
The fire was without doubt the work of an
incendiary, and the board of governors of the
club have offered a reward of 800 FOR infor-
nation that will lead to the arrest and convic-
tion OF the perpetrator. The house was valued
at $1,000. 1t is the intention of the club to
erect another house at an early day.
