RARE HOOKS

From the New York Herald.
 How much the passion of book collecting cost Augustin Daly mo one knows. There were bills and vouchers among his papers which footed up sSoO,o0o, but this by no means accounted for all his treasures
 Unique among the 37S7 lots in the cata- logue is a green morocco case which con tains the original title deeds of the house in Pail Mall which the Merry Monarch gave to Nell Gwyn. There are five parchment documents, and one bears the great seal of England in wax. Three times on the parch- ment appears Nell Gwyn's signature. MT. Daly paid s3, 800 for these deeds.
 Another treasure is the original manu- script of the "School for Scandal" in Sher- idan's handwriting, with the note submitting 1t to the Lord Chamberlain, May ', 1777. MT. Daly bought this for about $350

A. & M. COLLEGE LOSS SMALL.
No Blame on Waterman Swindell For
Tuesday Nights Fire.

The loss by the A. and NJ. College fire
yesterday morning will not exceed 5000,
over and above the insurance.
The only damage done was the burning
of the wood work of the building and
some injury to the pump and it's con-
nections. On the wood work there was
$500 insurance and on the pump $700
The insurance company will replace the
wood work and pay for the damage to the
machinery
One of the boilers and the pump were
set to running again early yesterday
morning, and temporary roof was being
erected over building. The electric light
plant was running last night
Investigation yesterday showed that
the Waterman. Mr.. Swindell, did his full
duty and that the fire was in no re-
spect due to any negligence on his part
The engine house was closed about 1:15
at 1850 Mr. SwndelI saw the fire and
gave the alarm. The blaze then was a
very small one, but it spread rapidly, for
the wood work over the engine where it
first caught was very drop. Then nothing
could be done TO check the flames, there
being no fire organization in the college
or proper apparatus with which to fight
the flames.
The students who first got to the fire,
as well as the members of the faculty
who were present. say that no possible
blame can be attached to Mr. Swindell,
the Waterman.
