Of some tritiing task. was well illustra-
ted at the Maine Central depot. one
night this week. Just as train No. 2,

office. Just IS that car cleared the Win
throp hill crossing. The man found
that his package of letters was too
bulky to enter the narrow slot at one
thrust, so he ran along with the train,
and finally managed to get most of his
letters aboard. Possibly the mail may
have teen of the utmost Importance.
but a misstep would probably have
cost the man his life. as the train was
going along at merry clip when he
finally accomplished his purpose.

DESTROYED BY FIRE.
VanderbiIt's First Gift to University
a Total Loss.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE. ]

Nashville, Tenn. April 20.-Fire originating in
the fourth story Of the main building Of Wander
btt University was discovered to-day while sew
eral hundred students were in the recitation
rooms, and they had scarcely been dismissed
when the entire building was wrapped in flames
The local fire department was quickly sum-
moned. but is efforts were retarded by low water
pressure, and in comparative short time the
fire was beyond control.
There are eight hundred students attending
the university. which is conducted under the
auspices Of the Methodist Episcopal Church and
as soon the alarm was given they began the
work OF saving the books OF the library and
chapel. including portraits OF Commodore Cor
nelius Vanderbilt and other members OF the
family who have in years gone by contributed
largely to the university. The flames spread
with such rapidty that but little else was saved
and IN short time nothing but the walls OF the
building were left. Not far from the burned
building Is Nissan Hall. which was erected two
or three years ago by W. X Vanderbilt, who
gave $I44 600 for its construction. The hall is
used as a dormitory and is one OF the hand
soonest buildings on the grounds The loss on
the main building is estimated at $216.000, and
the insurance is $150,O0O, $4,000 being on the
building and $4,000 on the contents.
Vanderbilt University was founded by Com
modore Vanderbilt in 1866, and the building de-
stroyed to-day was his first gift. Il VIII be re-
placed as quickly as possible. Sparks from the
Ore communicated to several small residences
ia the vicinity and these were also destroyed
The losses aggregate several thousand dollars.
