HARTFORD CITY, Ind, Feb. S.-For the

fire. Fire is supposed to have originated in
the chemical laboratory on the third floor,
and before an alarm was sent in the roof

family, who lived in the basement, had
narrow escape from being caught in the
debris. The structure was a two-and-a-
half-story brick. containing twenty-one
rooms, and an attendance of between 600
and 200 pupils. Seventeen teachers were
employed there. To find places for this
number of pupils in the already cramped
condition of the schools will be a difficult
problem. Nothing except the records in
the superintendent office were saved, and
the loss is total Superintendent Drybread
estimates the loss on the contents OF the
building at 5000, and on which there is
81 500 insurance. The loss on the building

ELWOOD.-The remarkable demonstra-
ton of an audience wrapped in the earnest
ness and seriousness of a revival meeting
breaking into the widest applause and
cheering witnessed at the First
Methodist Church in this city, where
Evangelist G. Fenwick Reed, an English
man, is conducting meetings. The unusual
outbreak was brought on by bitter ar
raignment of a local newspaper, which has
criticised the methods pursued in conduct
ing the meeting.
NEW CASTLE.-The formal opening of
the Krell-French Piano. Company's new
factory, which was scheduled for Feb. TO-
has been Cancelled on request of the County
Commissioners. They feared that the pro-
posed gathering would be a favorable place
for the dissemination of smallpox germs,
and. as their action seemed to reflect public
opinion, the company acceded to the re-
quest. There is no smallpox in New Cas-
tie, but there are many cases in the sur
rounding country.
