Short but
Hot Blaze.
CharlevOix County Court
House Badly Damag-
ed by Fire.

Fire broke out in the attic OF the
Charlevoix county court house at ten
o'clock Tuesday morning, and the
roof was entirely destroyed before the
flames could be checked.
The county officers on the ground
floor were all at work when smoke was
discovered emerging from the west
end of the roof around the chimney.
The alarm was sent in and both hose
companies were promptly on the
ground. There was flood Of water
from four lines OF hose ia plenty Of
time to smother an ordinary fire., but
the nature of the blaze was most vex-
ing to the tiremen.
The fire had caught from defective
chimney fue Ia the attic well up un-
der the roof and crept around the cor
nice so quickly that it had reached
the; towers on State street before
effective work could he done to check
it. At tie n thirty the roof and towers
fell in, but the fire boys stopped the
fire there, and the building stands
with its four walls practically unin-
jured. So far as the fire is concerned.
the roof is the only part Of the build
| ing de strOyed. OF course, the water
and debris ruined the court room floor,
which also included the probate, sher-
IFS and circuit judges offices.
Nothing was damaged on the ground
floor except by water. Every record
book and file was safely locked In the
vaults, and nuch OF the furniture re-
moved. This is not book OF record
or file in any office that was not placed
inside safe or vault. The greatest
damage to contents was the total loss
of Judge Mayne's private law library,
valued at $1,000; partially insured.
The board OF supervisors has been
called in special session January 9Th.
Meantime the county officers will IN
Yite bids from CharlevOix, Boyne City,
and East Jordan, and the purpose is
to have the roof rebuilt and the build
ing coupled by February lst.
Not a safe on either floor was dam
aged, and even the law library Of the
Judge of Probate, on the second floor,
is uninjured. Even the type writer's
and adding machines were safely lock-
ed In the vaults.
There were four prisoners in the
Jail, who were removed to Bellaire
jail, but Under. Sheriff Weikel says the
jail is intact. and even unchanged by
water. The prisoners could even now
be returned to their former quarters
il necessary. The steam heating
plant, including radiators on both
floors, is uninjured, and steam was
kept up all day Wednesday to dry out
the rooms on the ground floor.
Wednesday afternoon force Of men
were started at work clearing away
the debris, and in three weeks all cyl
dence of FIRE will have disappeared.
So far as the structural part Of the
damage is concerned, it means merely
a new roof.

MUCH WORK TO Do.
Episcopal Church Meets in FOrty-fifth
TrienniaI Convention.

Richmond Va, Oct. 2.-Facing all
the problems that have been discussed
and passed over in conventions gone
by and a number of new questions of
great importance, the Protestant Epis-
copaI church of the United States As
sembled today for its forty-hfth trien-
nial convention. which is expected to
be one of the most interesting in the
history of the church. The Right Rev.
of London, was present and preached
the sermon at the celebration of the
holy communion in the Holy Trinity
church, this being the opening cere-
mony. The only business conventions
today were for the purpose of organi-
zation, the house of bishops meeting
at $50 n. m. in the state capitol and
the house of deputies at the same hour
in St Paurs church.
warm welcome has been given the
visiting churchmen. The business sec
ton of the city is decorated with flags
and bunting and by night is brilliant
with electrical display.
The bishop of London, who reach
ed here yesterday and went to the
residence of Bishop Gibson of the dio-
cese of Virginia. spent the entire af-
ternoon on the golf links where he
made many friends.
With rare good nature he posed for
a number of photographs for anna
teurs and some for publication. In
his public statements the bishop re-
ferred to the fact that for century
and a half the church in the United
states was under the bishop of Lon
don. He declared that he valued this
historical connection and it was be-
cause of 1t he came to America. Lay

BUCKET BRIGADEs WORK.
Save the Town OF Bucklin From a Dis
astrous Fire.

Bucklin, Kan, Oct. 2.-This morn
ing at about $50 o'clock a small one
and one-half story frame structure on
Main street was discovered to be on
fire. The alarm was given and the
people turned out with buckets and
ladders, but the fire had too much
headway. They could not save the
building that was burning but most of
the contents were saved.
Twenty-Five feet south of the burn
ing building is the store building of J.
w. Dicus & Co., thirty-four feet north
is the building known as the Fisher
store, now belonging to Mr.. Marley.
Both of these buildings are one story
frames. The bucket brigade turned
their attention to saving these build
ings, and they succeeded.
The burning building was owned by
A c. Snedigar and was occupied as a
dwelling by Mrs. Coghill.
Fully covered by Insurance.

delegates to the convention number
many well known business men from
every section of the country and sew
eral OF these have taken houses for
the three weeks session. Notable
among these is ]. Pierpont Morgan,
who occupies the Rutherford mansion
which he refitted throughout with
furnishings and provisions sent from
New York.
At this mansion there will be a
number of entertainments. There are
about 500 members of the general
convention, that is including the bish-
ops of the several dioceses and mis-
sionary districts and four clerical and
four lay deputies from each of the
diocese and one each from every mis-
sionary district.
OF all the questions pending in the
convention that of creating negro
bishops is causing the most heated
advance discussion. There is a large
faction in the convention that will ad-
vocate the closing of negro missions
and schools and allowing the negro
communicates to die out or scatter
among other religious bodies. Another
faction openly advocates the creation
of negro bishops to serve over negro
churches and still others would con-
secrate negro suffragan bishops to
serve under the direction of the white
bishops of dioceses and still another
plan is to give the negroes three bish-
ops and let them erect an autonomous
church.

GIFT OF THREE MILLIONS
On Condition That Swarthmore College
Cut Out Athletics.

Philadelphia, Oct. 2.-The will of Miss
Anna T. Jeanes. who was born a
Quaker and died a Buddhist at the
Home for Aged Friends in Germantown,
last week, has astonished all who knew
her quite much as did her spontan-
eous gift of one million dollars to
Booker T. Washington, for Tuskegee
institute.
This remarkable woman, who wrote n
book on Buddhism and leaves bequests
of million dollars, has left million
dollars to Swarthnore college in
Swarthmore, Pa, on the ironclad con-
dition that the college refrain from TAX
ing part IL all intercollegiate sports and
that its faculty eliminate all athletics
Joseph Wharton, the smillionaire presi-
dent of the college, has called a meet
ing of the board of trustees to consider
the gift, but he said that in all proba-
bility it would be declined, as Swarth-
more does not wish to go on record as
banish;ng athletics.
Miss Anna T. Jeanes was a daughter
of the late Isaac Jeanes. a dry goods
merchant. There were FIVE children. All
of the members of the family accumu-
lated considerable fortunes in their own
right, and as one after the other died
the estates were inherited by the sur
vivorS, until at last only Anna Jeanes
remained, heir TO the entire estate, esti-
mated at million dollars.
Miss Jeanes was SO years old. Apart
from the fact that she was a Quakeress
of good family, little was known of her
personal affairs. She was a renoarka BILE
character in many ways, but SO modest
and retiring that very few persons
came to knew her intimately. The rec
ord of her life is in the main a record of
her benefactions.
In addition to the fund for rural negro
schools. with which her name has late
1y been associated, Miss Jeanes had been
generous to the philanthropic and ed
ucational institutions of Philadelphia
She had given s200. 900 to the Spring
Garden institute, a technical school;
100000 to the Hicksite Friends to be
used in connection with their meeting
houses; 100000 to the schools maintain
ed in Philadelphia by the Society of
Friends. and 5000, 900 to the Home for
Aged Friends in Germantown. In this
institution, founded by her gift, Miss
Jeanes spent the last months of her
life Her death was the sequel of an
Illness extending over several months.
