as the janitor George II. Simpson, in
company with Charles Atchley. the teach
er of one of the night schools, had visited
the boiler room ut about o'clock prepar-
atory TO leaving the building for the night
and that each had been instrumental in
leaving the fire securely banked and tn"
drafts adjusted before closing the build
ing.
Mr. Simpson is well known as a re-
sponsible fireman and iantor, who in all
respects has been a highly satisfactory
and perfectly faithful janitor during his
several years of experience in the care
of this schoolhousc. The idea of any pos
sible carelcssncss on his part is ropularly
discreditcd. The one fact remains which
is easily proven, that the building burned
and that nothing but ashes and bricks
remain to mark the spot where it once
stood. The building was erected two years
ago at n total cosc of So, 900. ana was
insured for $-1,00o.
All possible precautions for the protcc-
ton of property had been taken before
the city sank to rcpose for the night. Fire
Chief Ives at 10 o'clock having ascertain
ed that the alarm system had become use
less had made arrangements whereby the
wire connecting the exchange with the
IIollingsworth e Whitney mill was tn
serve as the only connection available
for spreading an alarm, and the managers
had kindly consented to blow their wills
ties upon request. In 4 short time this
means was also crippled. Men had been
placed about different points in the city
to ruin with messages to the hdads of the
fire departments and then further prepar-
atons ceased.
At a.15 o'clock one Of these men, Eugene
Crawford, awakened the crews Of the
