MIDNIGHT FIRE.
Office Of Architect A. P. Lang.
worthy, in the Reynolds
Building, Entirely Gutted.

Prompt action on the part of the fire
department enabled them to check what
otherwise might have been a disastrous
fire in the Reynolds building, Weybosset
street. at midnight The department.
worked with much discretion. and the
iudicious use OF water made the damage
by water small.
The fire apparently originated in the
office OF A. p. Langworthy, an architect,
on the fifth floor.
All the countless number of plans,
drawings. specifications and furniture
were destroyed. Nothing within the walls
of Mr.. Langworthy's rooms remained un-
burned when the firemen gained entrance.
The blaze did not extend back as far as
the big air shaft that forms a hollow as
large as a room in the middle OF the build
ing. The fire was discovered by William
O'Brien OF the Western Union Telegraph
company, who rang in an alarm from box
IA. When the department arrived, flames
could be plainly seen through the win
dows of the fifth floor. Lines OF hose
were quickly drawn up the stairway. i'm
side the building, while the fire was
fought from the outside with several
streams.
In remarkably short time the firemen
obtained control. and IL was apparent
that they had the names coniined III the
space within the walls of Langworthy's
office.
The cause OF the fire is uncertain.
Painters had left cans of paint in the
hallway of the fifth story, and IL is
thought that possibly some paint cloths
and waste were in the architects room,
and that through their spontaneous COM
bustion the blaze began.
Isaac l.. Con-. wha has recently moved
out of the building. had a room adjoining
Langworthys, and that was scorched,
thoroughly soaked with water and filled
with the debris from Langworthy's
room.
j. w. Mathewson's fresco ceiling, just
below Langworthy's room. was ruined.
Lawyer A. II. Greene's office on the third
floor was slightly damaged
Lieut.. Lawrence, with Sergt. Tyler of
the Central station. kept things clear, and
lined back the small-sized crowd that had
gathered.
Architect Langworthy's loss will be
much greater than that of the owners
of the building. Repairs will probably
cost $1,000 The loss on plans and draw
ings will be much greater

new SCHOOL,
Committee on City Property
Will Soon Advertise for Bids
From Contractors.

Now that the plan for the
annexed district has been favorably
passed upon and approved It remains for
the committee on city property to adver-
tise for bids and award the contracts.
The building is to be erected on thS
corner of Webster avenue and Dora
street the land having been purchased
some time ago.
At the time the erection or a six-room
primary school building was first brought
up there was some opposition offerCD.
The passage OF the resolution by the com
mon council Monday appropriating $50, 900
settled the matter. and the plans of San
ders 4 Thornton. which were accepted by
the committee on city property. will be
carried out.
The school building will differ very
little externally from other school build
ings. In treatment IL is on the Colonial
style. 1t will be SO by 81 feet, two stories
high, to be executed i'm red brick with
marble or granite trimmings. and black
slate roof.
An ornament of the old Colonial design
will surmount the roof While the struc-
ture is plain, the even proportions will
provide a very attractive looking build
ing
There will be six school rooms, three
on each floor, each q by 80 feet. Ar
rangement has been made for lighting,
which is one OF the principal features OF
a school building.
In addition to the school rooms there
is on the first floor a recitation room IS
by 261z. Connected with each school room
are two wardrobes constructed OF steel
wire. These are located i'm the corridor,
running through the centre of the build
ing, from one TO the other of the two
entrances.
The layout of the second floor is similar
TO that on the first floor. Heating and
ventilation will be furnished by indirect
system of radiation.

NOT RECEIVED.
Or. KeIIiher'S Friends Failed to
Secure His Admission to
Butler Hospital.

According TO reports, nothing has devel-
oped that would tend TO change the state
ment recently made to the effect that Dr.
Kelliher of Pawtucket. who is charged
with completely in the graveyard insur-
ance" cases. had become violently insane,
and was under restraint at his home.
The doctors family does not deny that
he purchased a revolver and cartridges
with the presumed intention of using
them to his own injury or that of some
one else.
III has been a matter OF almost general
knowledge among the intimate friends
OF the doctor that for several weeks,
ever since his infant son died at Hing
ham Mass. he has been talking and
acting in thoroughly irresponsible
manner.
The significant fact is developed also
that on Monday. after the purchased re-
volver and cartridges were taken from
the doctor at his home. only by the en-
ployment OF considerable strategy by his
friends, the DOCTOR in the custody OF a
physician and several very intimate
friends was placed in carriage and driv-
en- TO the Butler hospital, and his admit
tance TO that institution for treatment
sought.
Dr. Bloomer. superintendent of the hos
pital, was reluctant TO receive the pro-
posed patient and the effort TO secure
his committal proved futile.
DIR. Bloomer suggested TO DR.. Kelliher's
friends that his temporary and restful
seclusion in some sanitarium removed
from the scene OF the matters with
which he has been recently concerned
might result In the measure of mental
Improvement sought for.
Acting upon this view. the Doctors
friends have become confident that IL ac-
ton OF the kind suggested by DIR. Bloomer
is taken the results will he satisfactory.
The question Of removal is now under
consideration. and Il is likely that i'm a

The rife shoot at the state range yes
terday was characterized by the same
windy weather that has prevailed on most
every day selected for an event of this
kind during the season. In fact, the
weather conditions were about as miser-

During the morning the attendance at
the range was very light, and the shoot

the least.

not so large as scores made on more IA

plenty large enough TO pull the men who
