-Nauvoo Independent: A blaze at
the academy last Saturday evening
was nipped in time to save a serious
conf1agration. The IRE was caused
by the explosion Of an alcohol lamp
One of the sisters had just filled the
lamp and the only way she can ac-
count for the explosion is that there
must have been spark on the wick
The sister escaped injury. Mother
Mary, who happened near at hand,
and with rare presence Of mind,
emptied the contents OF two hand
chemical fire extfnguishars on the
blaze and succeeded in extinguishing
it, not however, until 1t had burned a
hole in the floor and scorched the
floor, walls and some furniture to
some extent. The damage amounts
to $40 or $50. The fire occurred ia
the infirmary department on the sec
ond floor Of the new academy build
ing.
Nauvoo Independent: Lake Coop
er has been extremely high recently
and last night the water reached the
highest point it has ever been. Dur
ing a storm now the waves surely
roll high and furious. Last Friday
the waves dashed against the Illinois
shore in great fury and the sprays
splashed higher and further than
ever known before. The great lash.
ing Of the water about undermined
the old, grout house below the ferry
landing and the riprapping between
the grout house and ferry landing all
caved in AS the bank is sand there
another storm will see the entire riv-
rroad there washed out to the hedge
fence. The water power company did
poor piece OF riprapping there, and
the city is to blame for not seeing
that a better job was done. The
canning factory is also in great dam
ger Of serious damage unless better
and higher wall Is built there.
