The trustees of the University COL

weeks to elect the faculty Of the re.
organized institution, For the present
all energies are being put on the cant
paign for funds for the new building
which will be completed this week. In
the reorganization agreement. an
nounced some time ago, all members of
the old faculty resigned, so as to leave
the board free to make such changes
as might prove desirable in preparing
for the new session. No startling
changes are anticipated. There Will
he rather Encouragement of chairs

of the faculty.
Work has begun on fitting out tho
old Millhiser building on North
Twelfth Street leased as temporary
quarters pending the rebuilding of tho
old college building. and a sufficient
number of class rooms and laborato-

.|NCENDIARY FIRE
DESTROYS CAT TIE
Six Animals Burn in Blaze That
Destroys Outbuilding on
Eddie Voegler's Farm.

Fire, which is believed to .bc of in
ccndiary origin. last night destroyed
the barn stable and other outbuildings
on the farm of Eddie Noeglcr who
lives at Stop on the Seven Pines car
s'nc. The fire was discovered By
ncighbors Just after 0 o'clock but
before they coould reach tile scene
the outbuildings were destroyed. The
loss amounts to $4,000 and Mr., Voegler
carried no Insurance.
Four cows. two horses. and mum
Dor of chickens were destroyed, be-
sides the whole of Mr.. Noegler's last
years crop of corn. The stable. in
which the cattle Were housed, was the
first to so and the other. buildings
caught from that
Three years ago Mr.. Noegler's OUT
buildings were destroyed by fire
which was very similar TO this one.
Then. as happened last night Mr.
Noegler had left his home only few
minutes before the blaze was dis
covered. and it gained such Roadway
that the neighbors who discovered IT
could not put the flames OFT
Mr.. Noeglcr was positive that the
flames We're OF incendary origin, and
has notified the county police Of his
opinion. Although he would give no
information on the subject he thinks
that he can discover the person or
persons who started the blaze, and
he is determined that they shall be
prosecuted if found.

NIGHT SKY LINE
BLAZE OF LIGHT
Tall Buildings Soon to Display
Great Electric Advertising
Signs.

1t MAJ not be very long while until
Richmond will have night sky line
of electric signs that Will remind the
traveller coming into the city of the
glittering nightly panorama that grcets
the sight OF those who take the FERRY
at Jersey City and look over toward
New York. Already one OF the SKY
scrapers here has placed on It's roof a
huge electric sign bearing the initials
of the financial organization which mas
its home in II. BY night this sign VIII
be seen from afar, being strikingly
visible to those who are coming into the
city on the various railroads. II is eX-
pected that in a short time many other
concerns which have buildings the
roofs OF which arc visible from the
railroad tracks will put up similar
electric signs, so that the night sky
line will impress travellers coming here
and passing through here as much as
the day sky line does.
Nothing serves to accentuate the mod
ern character of city more than a
display of this kind. These signs by
night not only are good advertise
ments, but also are indications of the
businesslike characteristics OF the city.
There is hardly a, firm In New York
which has suitable building on which
to put its electric sign that has failed
to avail itself OF this form of display
The spectator who gazes on the faring
array of business signs. shining dis
tinctly in the darkness. naturally be.
gins to read these signs and remem.
bers them
The latest innovation in such signs
is the moving sign. which gives ar
imitation of man or something Ii
motion. These are especially calculat-
ed to catch the eye, but are much more
expensive than the ordinary still
sign.
