VIRGINIA'S

HEAVY LOSS.
Many Valuable Articles Destroyed: Dam

ance &25,OOO. Work of Re-
storatiOn to Begin at

Charlottesville, Va, Oct. 20
J AT 10 80 this morning the main
building of the University of
! Virginia was found to be on fire.
The alarm was responded to by
the University Fire Company
and also by the Charlottesville
Company, but it was impossible
to get water on the building as
the pressure was insufficient. The
fire was in the southwest corner
Of the public hall, near the copy
of Raphel's painting Of the School
Of Athens.
Futile efforts to extinguish it
were made, but from the begin
ming it seemed certain that what
was known as the annex, that is
the public hall and the lecture
rooms of the professors of law,
engineering, modern languages,
physics. ETC., would be a total
loss. Efforts were directed to-
ward saving the library, which
occupied the rotunda, and the
lecture rooms, beneath, and to
this end an attempt was made to
remove with dynamite the COWS
cred gallery or porch which
connected the annex with the rO-
tunda in which these rooms were
situated.
The large columns supporting
the roof Of this porch were
blown out, but without the de-
sired result. Efforts were then
made to destroy with dynamite
cartridges the roof Itself, but
this was without good result and
the flames travelled along it to
tie rotunda. In the meantime
much Of the valuable contents of
the library, books, portraits and
statuary had been removed, la
dies assisting materially In this
work.
The figure in marble of Jeffer-
son, by Gait, was saved, as was
the Dust Of the late Professor
Minor, which was unveiled last
spring with imposing ceremOn
les. Much of the valuable out
fit OF the department OF physics
was saved. 1t looked at one
time as if the fire would reach
the partitions and dormitories
which faux the lawns: These
are directly connected with the
main building on the one hand by
the Ola chaDel and on the other
by the students reading room.
The chapel and reading room
were blown up with dynamite
and powder in order to stop the
progress of the fire toward the
residential buildings. Here the
fire was arrested
The most conservative and
reasonable estimate places it at
one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars.
Lectures went on to-day as il
nothing had happened, and the
work Of the session will really
not be Interrupted. The literary

Twenty years ago, the largest and
most prosperous merchant in the vii
lage of L. was opposed to life insur-
ance. He said he could invest his
own money better than a life insurance
company could for him-he wanted no
life insurance company to be his guar
dian. But as the years came and went,
clouds began to gather in his financial
sky, and the sun Of prosperity was hid
den from sight. Then he said: 81 see
my mistake now. Years ago ! could

THE assaults of infdels and
such like who parade themselves
as leaders of thought, political
and otherwise, will, we venture
the prophesy, never overturn the
church. They will prove not
more hurtful to- the Christian
system, if it be allowed to com
pare small things with the great
est, than the b%oisterous winds
are said to prove to the sturdy
oak. They shake it impetuously
for a time, and loudly threaten
its subversion; whilst in effect,
they only serve to make it strike
it's roots the deeper, and stand
the frner ever after. Let the
people think it out for Them
selves, measure the men and the
measures, and in tie end Chris
tianity and Democracy will pre-
vail.
