ed by fire on the 18th inst. About
eighty pupils were in the building

originated from one of the furnaces
in the basement of the building.
The building was new, imposing
and eommodious, and had not been
completed. Loss about fifteen
thousand, insurance eleven thous-
and dollars. Several young boys
from this county were attending

GRAND LODGE OF ELKS.


Important Matters to BE Discussed Before
the Annual Meeting at Buffalo.
BUFFALO, N. Y, June ia conserv-
ative estimate of the number of Elks
and their guests in attendance at the
Grand Lodge and annual reunion here,
is placed at six thousand, 1t is conceded
on all sides to be the largest gathering
in the history of the order, and the Wis
itors are enjoying themselves to the full
extent of their opportunities.
Gossip about the hotel corridors indi-
Gates that a feeling exists in favor of o
national change in the present admins
tration. With one or two exceptions
new officers are contemplated. Louis
vile wants several officers and several
reforms. Among the reforms to be dis
cussed is that the lodge and per capita
tax to the grand lodge should be re-
duced, as the fund is considerably larger
than there is any need for. The PRO
gressionists" oppose this They want
the present tax retained and the surplus
regarded as fund for the building of q
permanent Elks home, The latter SEN
timent is regarded in the most favorable
light.
The fight for the Grand Lodge meet.
ing place will be hot. The decision is
likely to rest between Chicago and De.
troit. The former is favored because OF
the Worlds Fair, while it is argued on
the other hand that in view of the
crowded condition of Chicago next year,
Detroit will be able to provide better
Accommodations.
The canvass for the chief Office con
tinues active and Apperly of Louisville
is said to have a good lead.
Among the candidates for Grand Sec
retary are James V. Cooke of Indianapo
lis; Mr.. Chauncey of Grand Rapids; Mr..
White Of Chicago and Mr.. Volt of Al

BLOWN TO PIECES.
Twenty-four Sailors Killed by an Explo'
sion Near bordeaux.

BORDEAUX, June 49, AN appalling ac-
cident occurred yesterday just outside
the harbor of Blaye, on the River Cir
onde, "a miles northeast Of this city.
Lying off the harbor was the British
steamer Petrolia, commanded by Capt.
lubbock, which had arrived June 1a
from Philadelphia.
The usual routine work was being
performed on board, when suddenly
there was a fash, tremendous roar
and the vessel was blown to pieces
Huge fragments of the decE and deck
houses were carried upward to a great
height. The river was strewn with
wreckage from the Petrolia, and it was
readily seen that the disaster was due
to an explosion Of gas that had formed
from the petroleum forming her cargo.
Burning oil was floating on the water.
This drifted with the tide, and floating
against several vessels lying at anchor
near by, set them on fire. Two or three
other vessels were ignited by the burn
ing oil that fell on their decks or tsrred
rigging.
The Patrolia was burning furiously,
and the heat was so intense that it was
dangerous for the many small boats
that were launched to approach near to
her. Dense volumes of sitting smoke
hung over and around the burning
steamer
Some of the more veDturesome boat
men heard cries for help and rowed as
closely as possible to the Petrolia. They
succeeded in picking up l6 of her crew,
three of her engineers and the second
officer. Some of the rescued men were
severely burned. They were taken
ashore as rapidly as possible and physi =
clans were then summoned to attend
them.
The survivors said that there were 20
others on board the vessel when the ex-
plosion occurred, and search was
made in the vicinity of the steamer for
them, but not body was found, and
it is believed that every one of these 20
men perished.
