the prompt action OF the local fire de-

Quite a large number OF people were

1t is thought that the fire was started
by someone in the barn with a view OF
burning the adjacent buildings. The
barn was empty and the loss is triv-

NO P0STPONEMENT GOES
Better That 200 Children Be Kept Out
OF School . Than 5000 Several
Teachers Have Married, but
Their Places Will Be Filled.

The lonesome bricklayer who held out
against the strikers and the union for
one day, and put in eight hours on the
new school building on Tuesday, sue
cumbed 10 the persuasion Of the walking
delegate yesterday morning, and quit
his job. The stone mason and the nod
carrier are still at work, however. and
with the assistance of two laborers, they
succeeded in getting a stone or W in
place yesterday, but they hardly expect
to have the building completed and
ready for occupancy by the time school
opens, on the 18th Of September. There
has been some talk about ~postponing
the opening of the schools because of
the lack of room and several of the
trustees the question yester-
day, but it is not likely that the open
ing will be postponed beyond the 18th
of September.
Il, for one. will not be in favor of a
posponement Of the opening" said NJ. j.
Burke, last evening. We have not got
room to accommodate all the children.
but / think it is better to have 1000
crowded out than TO keep 5000 out. We
will have as much school room on the
18th of September as we will a few
weeks or a month later"
The trouble between Contractor
Whiteside and the bricklayers' union
is responsible for the prevailing condi-
ton in regard TO the lack OF room. The
board of trustees had prepared TO erect
two or three new buildings, which
would have provided ample room to ac-
commodate all the school children, but
the ~bricklayers' strike put al end to all
building at present.
Clerk Richards yesterday received a

IN THE HOSPITALS.
Many Are Improving and Some Are Dis
charged as Well Daily.


New York. Aug. 23.-There are now
in the hospitals at Camp Wikof, Mon
tauk Point, more than 1000 men. OF
these about 900 are in the general hos
pital and annex, 300 are In the hospital
in detention. Many Of those in the gen
eral hospital are improving and some
are now being discharged as well ev-
cry day. The situation I'm the hospital
is excellent. The total humble OF ty-
phoid cases is set at 225. Some of the
typhoid patients are being daily re-
moved TO New Haven. In a day or so
the remaining typhoid patients Will be
taken to New York or Boston. The
idea is to send the men to the nearest
hospitals until they can hold no more
M thus make the journey as short as
possible.
The Rio Grande will be converted In
to a hospital ship for use at Montauk
Point and the harbors about New York
for an indefinite period. II is evident
that until some hospital accommoda-
lions are provided on shore some of the
sick and wounded oldiers will have to
be kept on board the hospital ships in
Fort Pond bay.

Tnits that the democrats forced Mckin-

publicans have decided to make po-

fact in view, the people should read
with care. and remember after reading
the following plank in the democratic
platform adopted by the state conven-
ton at Springfield: I'VE pronounce
the present war with Spain justified by
every consideration of justice and
sound national policy; congratu-
late the democratic minority in
congress for their firm stand in
demanding the yindicat ton of ma

its vigorous prosecution in the cause of

defenders of the gold standard IS

the spectacle of the government bor-

II should have also stated that the de-

Finally. il should have informed Us
