LIGHTNING HITS BUILDING

FLINT, Mich, May 22.-Lightning
which struck the administration build
ing Of the Michigan School for the
Deaf, early this morning, started fire
which destroyed the main building OF
the original state group erected in
1854. The loss Is estimated at
$4OO, 900.
The lightning bolt hit in the course
Of a severe storm, although the fire
was not discovered for some time
after the storm had passed.
There were 290 deaf children and 60
teachers, attendants and other EN-
ployes asleep In the building when
fire was discovered on the roof Ali
of them escaped before the fire reach
ed the dormitories.
Lack OF water pressure prevented
the firemen from checking the fire in
its early stages. The roof could not
be reached with water without forced
action, and the departments auto
pump could not get close enough to q
hydrant to be of service because OF
the soft ground. The efforts of the
firemen were directed to the saving Of
adjoining buildings, and in this they
were successful
The burned structure when erected
cost S325,000, and its contents were
valued at 100000. No insurance was
carried by the state.
