Despite the efforts of the boys and girls who
formed a bucket brigade, climbed ladders and
tried to the contents, the memorial school
and chapel on the grounds of the Wartburg
Orphan Farm School, on the outskirts of Mount
Vernon, were destroyed by fire last night en-
failing loss Of $4,000 The fire was discovered
shortly after o'clock. by one of the girls in the
nursery. who alarmed the teachers. The Rev.
DR.. Gottlieb C. Berkeneir, the director of the
school, was Immediately informed. and the gen.
eral alarm was given throughout the dorma-
tories All the two hundreds boys and girls,
who were asleep sprang from their beds. dressed
rapidly. and seizing buckets, marched to the
grounds in charge of Brothers Giddemand and
Henry.
Sister Emma directed the girls fight the
flames which coming out of the roof of the
stone school, while the boys gave their atten-
ton to the chapel. Girls, bareheaded and many
of them attired in their night robes and wrap
pers. climbed ladders to the roof of the school
house while companions handed up pals of
water, which was dashed the roof where
the flames licking around the belfry DR..
and Mrs. Berkemeir took charge of the little
volunteer firemen. Boys and girls, aided by
the Sisters, dashed in the burning chapel and
saved carpets. benches and school books at the
risk of their own lives and only desisted when
the intense heat drove them back.
In the mean time the fire departments from
Mount Vernon. Pelham and New-Rochelle had
responded. and directed their efforts to saving
the Old Ladies' Home, the hospital, the main
dormitory, the directors house and other cot
tages. They could do little. however, owing to
the lack of water, and while the boy and girl
fire fighters kept pouring water the roofs
of the dormitorieS to save them the firemen tore
down the burning roof of the chapel
The chapel, which erected in 1879 was a
memorial given by Charles Hauselt in memory
of his mother The school given by Mrs
Wittmock in memory of her sister. The chapel
contained a number of valuable memorial win
dows and costly altar. How the fire started
is a mystery. Mrs Berkemeir said that there
had been no fire in either building for several
days, and as the flames first seen around
the roof it Is regarded suspicious thor

SHORTAGE IN MILK SUPPLY
PRICE RAISED BY THE EXCHANGE TO
ENCOURAGE PRODUCTION.

The Milk Exchange had good reason for Fot-
ing at its monthly meeting Wednesday 10
raise the price of milk from 81 cents to a12
cents quart. Only few days before at a
special meeting the price had been raised from
} cents to 3A cents The dealers for the last
two weeks have had difficulty in supplying
their customers. and the price has been put UP
to encourage the dairymen to do their utmost
in the production of milk One of the leading
milk dealers Of the city, and prominent mem
ber of the exchange. said yesterday:
Il have not milk short in twenty
years There is little milk to be obtained on
the platform. Every dealer wants what he gets
and the consequence is that any surplus brlngs
from 50 to So a The trade, in the main.
is pretty well supplied. but have to cut a
little. The trouble is that feed is high. When
the storms up the State and the cold weather
cut off the pasturage, the farmers, owing TO tne
high price of feed did not like to buy 1t 1or the
sake of small quantity of extra milk, anu
let their cows dry UP. half can shortage IN
one place does not amount to much, but from d
large number of places 1t does. The farmers
who bought feed early, when 1t was cheap, are
all right. Those who waited until the coio
weather set 1t up the stump. 1t is a long
time since high price has been voted by the
exchange"
1t is hoped the higher price will induce the
farmers to buy feed, and do their best to IN
crease the production.

ELECTRICITY FOR CENTRAL L.
SUCCESSFUL, EXPERIMENTS CONDUCT
ED AT THE GENERAL ELECTRIC
COMPANY'S WORKS.
Try TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.

Schenectady. N Y, Nov. 29.-The greatest
success has attended the series of tests that
have been going in the works of the General
Electric Company. in this city. in the last few
weeks In the matter of the proposed change
from steam to electricity in the service OF
the New-York Central Railroad in New-York
City. and the reports of the experts who have
the experiments in charge will be unanimously
In favor of the change. The result Of these VAS
made known to-day, and the railroad company
is understood to stand ready to place large
order with the General Electric Company for
the necessary equipment as soon as the 2hanSe
Is definitely decided upon. The tests were mace
as a result of the agitation in New-York CITY
against the use of by the railroad COM
pany in Park-ave.
One of the first steps taken was to secure the
services OF Professor Smith, of the University or
Illinois, who with an assistant came to this city
with an experimental which records the
amount of drawbar pull and the speed under
varying conditions. This equipment came from
Chicago where the car had been In use on the
Illinois Central system, being the property OF
the university. The car first placed on the
third-rail line operated by the electric company
and attached to a steam locomotive, after which
a motor was used In the frst test the en-
CINE was one that commonly draws passenger
trains on the Troy branch of the Central ana the
same number of cars were attached in both In
stances The result of this comparative test
was that the electric car showed up Well II
nossessed The ability 10 start and stop suddenly.
which .Asas a thing to be desired -~--- --
After this the motor car was put 10 more
rigid t.st One Of the latest pattern engines.
with an extra large boiler, six driving wheels.
and a weight Of lis tons seventy of which was
over the drivers alone, was brought up from
e-ov. work. and the txperirnent proceeded on the
freight tracks of the Central near this city the
trains were started and stopped many times ana
with different weights from few light cars 20
many heavily laden ones. In this test the record
of tra vhar pull and speed, as shown by the eN-
perimental car, was decidedly favorable 10 elec-
tricfty a motive power
One of the points emphasized by these tests
was the saving of energy and wear and tear oil
the tracks and roadbed which is effected with
the use of electricity.
