old, died at the residence OF her bro
ther-in-law, DIR. N. B. Payne, in East

able value to her pastor and the con
gregation. Kind and sympathetie
she was ever interested in the affair
of those around her, and for thos'
near to her she made troubles easie,
to bear and pleasures more delightful
OF Miss Temple it may truly be said
None knew her but to love her o
named her but to praise. " Her life wa
llono and useful and those who were
at at all acquainted with her kno'
that the world is better for her hav
ing been in it.

There is every reason to believe that
next year win be a record breaker
for all three of Lexington's boarding
schools. The continued prosperity in
this section of the country, the ten
dency of more young men and women
to 90 to school every year and the
improvements which are being made
in the local school schools all 60 to-
gether to indicate an increased at
tendance during the coming season.
The new building at Wentworth is
progressing slowly. The brick work
is finished and the plasterers are now
working on the interior. The struct-
ure even at this stage presents an
attractive appearance When the
first assembly is sounded there will
probably be enough students to fill
up this new barracks as well as the
old.
Both Central College and Lexing
ton College are devoting most o
their attention to interior renova
tion, as each school has facilities t
provide for substantial increase il
attendance.
Competitor in the school line i
keener this summer than ever before

ing on an active campaign an'

PASSING OF 59TH CONGRESS.
New Record for Appropriations and
 Far-Reaching Legislation.

Washington, March 4.-With a new record for large appropriations and far reaching legislation, the Fifty-ninth congress was brought to a close short ly after noon to-day, The last few hours were calm in fact tame by com parison with what had been expected. Long before noon SenStor Gallinger's s fight for the passage of the ship sub sidy bill had been abandoned, and the filibuster against it conducted by Sen ator Carmack being no longer neces- sary, he surrendered the floor, much to the disappointment of the galleries. Extreme fatigue, due to continued night sessions in the house during the last week, had a dampening effect upon many congressman, and the usual excessive Hast day enthusiasm" was confined to less than half the member ship.
 In addition to the songs and stories that usually mark the close of a ses- sion, there was a beautiful picture formed by the entire house rising and waving flags, and singing My Coun- try, Iris of Thee" as the gavel fell at 12:15 ;. m.
 In the senate the last of the proceed ings was the speech by Vice President Fairbanks, prior to adjournment at 12:15 10, m. His remarks were applaud ed by the thousands of visitors, and the applause continued as the audience watched with interest the farewells of senators on the floor.

.BIG FIRE IN DANDURY
 ENTAILS S125,OO0 LOSS
TOUR STORY BLOCK OF HULL BROTHERS COMPANY
 DESTROYED.

Building Located Almost in Center of
 City and for q Time Conhagration
 is Feared--High Wind Keeps Fire
 men Busy Putting Out Small Blazes
 on Roofs Caused by Sparks-Captain
 HOyt Has Two Tendops in His Wrist
 Severed by Falling Glass.
 Danbury, March 4.-All that remains tonight of the four story block owned by the Hull Brothers company here, in shortly after noon to-day, is a hole in the ground partly filled with the char red and burned remnants of the build ing, which housed three firms and Pro- gressive lodge, I. o, o. F., while an adjoining building was badly damaged, the upper floors being burned out. The total loss is placed at about $125,0OO, with insurance. The building burned was located in almost the center of the city, on Main street, at the foot of West, and as there was a high wind 1t was feared for a time that the fire would become a confagration. It was one of the biggest fires which has vis- itei this city in years, and although the whole of the fire department fought the flames all afternoon, it was not ull- til late in the day that the flames were finally subdued, and not then until the big business block had been reduced to ashes. The high wind kept the firemen busy putting out fires which were started on the roofs of neighboring houses from sparks, and often they had to leave the work of combating the main blaze to quench others. In one instance dwelling house half a mile away caught fire, but this was put out by the crew of trolley car who left the car and went to the rescue of the residence. Several firemen were over- come by smoke, and Captain Frederick Hoyt of Engine company, No. 2, had his wrist cut by falling glass, two of the tendons being severed He is in the hospital, and it Is thought now that while his hand may be saved he will be permanently lamed in that member.
 The fire was the result of the lighted head of match falling on some tarred rope in the basement of the Hull Broth CTS company's block. Arthur Marshall, a clerk, it is stated had gone down in the basement and struck match, the head of which flew off and into a pile of rope, some of which was tarrei. Instantly the blaze fiared up. and after Marshall, Frederick A. Hull and sev- eral others risked their lives in an at- tempt to extinguish the flames, the fire gained such rapid headway that they were forced to beat a rapid retreat.

MAY BE DELIBERATE WRECK.
New Theory Advanced ms to Recent
 Central Disaster.

New York, March 4.-A theory that the Brewster express which was derail- ed on the Harlem division of the New York Central railroad two weeks ago causing the death of more than score of persons, may have been deliberately wrecked, was advanced by Vice Presi- dent A. Fl. Smith while testifying at the coroner's inquest to-day. He had told of finding in the forward right wheel of the smoking car an indentation Large enough to roll your thumb in" A similar indentation was also found in the second wheel of the truck and another on the pedestal of the truck
 Evidently there was a bolt placed upon the track" said the witness.
 The coroner at this point interrupted him. He was told that information of this kind should not be egiven the jury unless he could produce evidence to prove it.
 Tn testifying before the state rail- read commission which also is making an investigation into the wreck MT smith said that one of the motormer on the Harlem division had reported early on the day of the wreck that there was something wrong with the track at the curve. A section foreman who made an inspection of the track al that point after the report, however, re. ported that everything was all right but that the rails near Woodlawn hat been found tout of surface" ant wedges had been put in.
 The motorman of the wrecked trair l testified that he was not running faster than schedule speed at the time of tho accident
 The schedule called for about fifty seven miles an hour at the point where the wreck occurred. Several witnesses who were on the wrecked train, havt | testified that in their opinion the trair was running at least seventy miles al hour at the time.
