Repair Damage.

Albany. y. Y. March 29.-Five mill
lion dollars probably could repair the
damage To the state capitol today
but money cannot restore the his

Although the fire started i'm the
northwest corner of the building. il
caused the greatest havoc in the
southeast corner Here a cupola fell
carrying down part of the carved
granite work which supported it and
the towering stone chimney.
A conservative estimate places the
damage To the exterior stone work
at $2.O0O.00O. The interior masonry
is damaged To the extent of s1.5O0.000
and the same sum represents the loss
on the contents of the state library.
No trace has yet been found to-
night of Samuel Abbott. the aged
night Waterman.
The flames licked up the state Ii
