The faculty numbers twenty-two, an increase of four. Among the list are the recent appointments of Thomas Thacher, John Hoyt Perry. James M. Townsend, Frederick Innes Allen, Rob- ert Clark Harris, Judge Epaphroditus Peck and Edward Sumner Hunt. The catalogue shows an attendance of 346, against .329 a year ago. There are 259 students in the law school proper and eighty-nine enrolled taking law courses from other departments, against 253 a year ago and eighty-six from other departments.
 | A faculty movement is now under
 way to make the work taken by aca-
 demic students count for fewer years than it has counted. The requirements for admission are to be slightly strengthened and papers for entrance will be given in more places than for
 merly, as the school broadens it's scope 1 Slight technical changes in it's. course l are noted, but none of general scope The fine new building of, the school
 Hendrie hall, gives exceptional recita- l ton facilities, and the changes in the l faculty have made it one of unusual l strength. g-@

 Troy, N. .Y... Dec. 3O.-Moses L. Clough, the nestor of the Rensselaer, county bar, and the only survivor of the class of 1S4S of Dartmouth college; William Shaw, head of the law firm of Shaw, Bailey & Murphy, of which United States Senator Edward Mur- phys son is a member, and Benjamin W. Kinney, members of the Fuller x Warren company of Boston, are dead, the victims of fire which partially destroyed teh Troy club early to-day, soon after dinner party had broken up. The men were sleeping in the club house. Clough and Shaw made their homes at the club, and Kinney was a guest. Soon after the firer1en reached the scene the men were seen at the windows, but nothing could be done to save them, so dense was the smoke and the progress of the fire.
 Edward Carpenter of New York, another guest. was taken from an upper window by the firemen and re- moved to a hospital, where he is re- covering from the effects of smoke inhaled. ell was in town preparing for his marriage. His escape from death was regarded as one of the re markable features of the fire. All the persons killed were on the fourth floor of the building, which is four stories in height and it was this part that the flames attacked first. They had retired about 10 o'clock and were sleep ing soundly when the alarm was given by the employees. The belief is enter tained that MT. Shaw did not realize the extent and danger of the fire, for when his body was recovered he was found fully dressed. The others were partly dressed.
 An investigation is in progress for the purpose of determining the cause of the fire. One theory advanced is that the trouble arose, from a lighted cigarette. The floors of the club were saturated with oil used in cleaning and polishing and these made the prog ress of the flames rapid. The walls |of the building were of brownstone and the club was built twelev years ago at a cost of half a million of dollars. The loss will reach $55,000. " '
 Moses T. C1ough was eighty-nine years of age and MT. Shaw nearly sev- enty. The latter. was bachelor.
 The fire was the fifth to visit Troy in month or six weeks and the in- surance companies are figuring out a loss aggregating a million dollars.
