BIG LOSS TO TROY "POLY."
Institutes Main Building Burns
Valuable Library Damaged.
LEY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBuNE.l

Trcv N V. June 9.-The Rensselaer, Polytech-
mic Institute, one of the oldest and most widely
known schools of civil engineering in the coun-
try. suffered a severe loss early this morning
when its main building destroyed by fire.
The fire is supposed to have been of incendlary
origin evidence to that effect appearing in the
manner in which the flames burst forth at sew
eral places almost simultaneously. The loss VIII
amount to about 100000. with insurance Oh
$4,000 A large part of the loss includes mathe-
NAUTICAL instruments and scientific apparatus as
we'll as a valuable scientific library, much OF
which cannot be replaced
The fire broke out at 2:SO a. mr and II was
9 a. m before it was declared out The peculiar
situation of the building, on a steep hlilslde'
with three clear stories on the Eghth-st- slde
and five on the side facing the city, made 1t
difficult fire to handle. 1t was necessary 10
hitch the fire horses TO the lines of hose TO drag
them UP the hill. The fire broke out suddenly
and was raging when discovered by ponce
man. The janitor slept in the building. and
barely escaped with his life. Two alarms were
sounded. and nearly all the Fire Department was
out It was seen TO be impossible to save the
building, and efforts were directed to saving the
chemical laboratory and gymnasium adjacent
These were not touched by flames. Only four
blackened walls remain of the main building.
The destruction of the building will not inter
fere with the completion Of work OF the year
Commencement will be held on June p. Di-
rector Palmer c. Ricketts, is in Europe. but
trustees expect to make good the loss. 1t will
probably be necessary to begin next falls work
in a rented building. This IS the fourth fire TO
visit the institution in a year and a half Two
were in the chemical and one in the electrical
laboratory.

IN TINTS OF THE SEA.
Something Seasonable in the Line Of
Finery for Feminine
Wear

A woman who prides herself upon her
taste and originality in dress recently
designed an evening gown with which
she intends to wear ornaments Of aqua
marine framed in silver. The possess
sor thus describes her frock:
"The bodice. cut off the shoulders in
the old court fashion, forms an almost
straight line across the bust, owning
the tiniest transparent tucker of silver
tulle, threaded with silver string. Laid
upon this tucker is a band of antique sill
yer lace, deepening in weight and design
to the depth of some six inches till it ends
in border of raised silver tissue flowers
round curved in their petals like yell
low water lilies. each conferred with an
aquamarine From each of these flowers
falls a dozen or SO strings of pale gray,
pale green and pale blue chenille ard sill
yer bullion cord, completed by pear
shaped sequins, family echoing these
three tints. The rest Of the gown is of
tulle. First of all comes the foundation
Of palest blue satin and over it are layers
of green and blue and gray tulle, each
hemmed with silver lace very lightly
and irregularly, ending at the foot in a
foam Of all the faint hues breaking into
white, like wave on the sand, a soft, in
describable foam Of white, also flecked
with silver. The skirts of the gown are
full and set in many folds at the silver
girdled waist, and the sleeves are full
too, and of many layers of tulle, caught
together at the wrist with an aquamarine
stud"
