BADLY Damaged aud Many Ex-

The Worlds Fair buildings have not
escaped from the ruvages of FIRE. In
the evening Of the 9Th the Casino and
the Peristyle were destroyed and tho
liberal arts and manufacturers build

great quantities Of valuable exhibits
that had not yet been taken from the
great building.
The fire started in the Casino, just
east Of the agricultural building and
south Of the Pcristylc. The Casino
was quickly destroyed and the flames
sursed north on the top Of the Peri
style, and, dropping, made a second
line OF fire along the base Of the col.
umns. The flames then sprang through
the music hall, which corresponds at
the north end Of the Peristyle to tho
Casino at the south.
The firc-boats and engines on tho
lake side had by this time subdued
the flames in the ashes Of tho Peri
style and in the lower colonnade Of
the southeast side Of the liberal arts
building, and the hopes were raised
that the fire had been subdued. But
shortly after II p. IN. the flames got

aisle Of the building was a mass Of
flames, arising from the burning brands
which came from above.
Finding it impossible to reach tho
roof, the chief ordered his engines

THE STOCK EXCHANGE SUES.
Brooks No Interference From the
Police Commissioners.

Suit has BEEN filed in the Superior Court
by the San Francisco Public Stock Ex-
change against Chief of Police Crowley
aud the Board of Police Commissioners,
for an injunction restraining them from
interfering with the business of the
concern.
The complaint Is extremely short. and
merely recites the organization of the
Stock Exchange and the fact that on No
vember q. 1894, the defendants ordered
plaintiff to cease carrying on its said bust
ness and threatened 10 arrest its officers
and employees. The plaintiff concern COM
plains that its business is temporarily sus-
pended; that by reason of the defendants
threats it is unable 10 carry Oh, whereas its
business is described as lawful and not In
conflict with the constitution of the United
States. nor with any of the laws of this
State. nor with any or the ordinances of
the city and county of San Francisco.
So an injunction is sought which shall
enable the plaintiff concern to resume its
business

the supervision of the work. The charter

intended to let 1t lie for several days open

will be represented by a trustee, thus rails
ing the legislative department from five
members TO seven. No definite provision
is made for free library, but the trustees
are empowered 10 establish one whenever
a majority of the electors desire it. AS the
75-cent limit would not suffice for the
support of a library, this provision was
necessary.

Capt. S@ango will find his chief

form a strong team.
The candidates have been
practicing at Lake Park this week
and all the home games will prob

actly how the new rules adopted
by the colleges last spring will
affect the game, but it is though,
there will be less roughness than

The schools Closed.

Owing to the numerous cases OF
diphtheria, and more especially to
the deaths which occurred on that
day, the School Board decided,
on Wednesday, to close the
schools from that afternoon until
Monday. the 24th inst. The
panic among parents had become
so great that the daily attendance
had dwindled down to abont 800,
which in Itself would be a good
argument for closing the schools
even if the Board had not though,
the case as serious as imagined.
Every precaution is being taken
to pre- vent the spead of the dis
ease, and, although several new
cases have developed in the same
neighborhood that has been in
fected for some weeks, all the
older cases are covalescent and i,
is hoped no more deaths will occur
and that the malady will soon be
stamped out.
