children, left behind in the stampede for freedom, were carried to safety by firemen and police officers Absence of any high wind proved a blessing, for draught would have famed the flames so that the entire block would have been wiped out, but as it was the fire department had the blaze quickly under control after hard work The damage from water and smoke was great and the total loss will not fall far short of $1O,O0O.
 A more spectacular fire than last nights has not occurred in this city in some time and the frightened peo- pie, huddled together in the doorway, shivering in their night clothes, and the heavy smoke rolling out of the windows gave every appearance of a disastrous conf1agration.
 Captain Sieath Carries Out Boy.
 Captain James S1eath, of Engine company No. l, rushed into the block from the rear, cutting across through the rear alleyway from the fire sta ton, immediately after being ap- praised of. the fire, and was the first fireman to enter the burning build ing. He dashed up the back stair way and seeing the flames soaring up the air shaft in the center of the block he shouted a warning to the sleeping tenants and sped on to the top of the building. Here he aroused the sleep ing family and told them to get out while they had a chance. The wife leaped from the bed and her hus- band started to draw on his trousers but the fireman ordered him to get out as he was while he had a chance. The family took the hint and fed A glance at a single bed disclosed a lit tie ten years old boy rolling over for another snooze and the captain picked him up in his arms and started for the street. By this time dense clouds of smoke had poured up the stair ways and filled the halls so that even with his lighted lantern Captain Sleath could not see the stairs or the bannister, having to steer his course by his knowledge of the premises.
 Even though he was choked with smoke the little boy made no trouble at all for his rescuer and from the time he was lifted from his bed until he was deposited in his aunt's arm by Captain Sleath he did not make a whimper. Returning, the smoke was so thick that it eXtinguisned Captain Sleath's lantern three times.
 In another apartment on the floor below Sergeant George Kelly rescued a little child and George Green and Thomas Devine also helped in bring ing out little folks. Officers 'Dan' Richardson, Frank Moore and Will liam Strols were also instrumental in keeping order and helping the tenants to safety.
 Every Company Called Out.
 Engine Company No, 1 wheeled out of it's station and into the driveway behind AleX's store, fighting the fire with lines of hose from the rear, while the other city departments, all of which responded to a, bell alarm from box 5, stretched lines of hose from the Main street side. The big aerial

ladder was also showed to the win
 dows on the fourth floor but was not reeded. Ten lines of hose poured thousands of gallons of water into the
 building and soon the fire was under control, but the smoke, which per meated the upper floors of the block and the water. which completely saturated most of the valuable stock iii A1exs store, increased the damage considerably.
 At the time the fire started it was
 just beginning to snow and the shiver- jnG tenants, who stood either on the icy pavement in their barefeet or in the doorway, were taken into Kenney * Leghorn's store. Among those who live in this block are Mrs. Elizabeth P0ngetti and four children. MT. and 1I rs. Peter Berg and two children and couple of ther families. When Ser gea1t Kelly rushed into the block he tried to gain admittance into one room and it was refused him. He had to kick the door in and even then the GroWsy man inside would not get out, tho officer having to force him to do so. By this time the smoke was so dense that Sergeant Kelly was 5jrangling badly when he once more reached the street.
 Suspects High School Boys.
 Chief Robert M Dame made a care !ul investigation on the premises this 1norning. In the bathroom where the ire started the walls were burned away and the flames had shot up into the air shaft, burning, the windows even as high as the fifth floor. Just what caused Chief unable to say, but he regarded it as a significant fact that facing on Main street and at the end of short hall way leading to the lavatory is a room occupied by a reputed High school secret society recently organized. Chief Dame intimated that possibly some of the High school boys had carelessly thrown a cigarette butt onto the floor of the lavatory, thereby causing the fire. A more complete in vestlgation will be carried out later.
 Harry Alex, who yesterday agreed to pay his creditors twenty-five cents on the dollar, was at his home on Elm street, asleep, when the fire broke out last night. He was notified and hur- ried over, but could give no itemized account of his stock as he declared he had not entered the store since he went into bankruptcy several weeks ago, the keys being in the hands of bis attorney.

Situation at Camp School.

Chairman l.. Hoyt Pease of a spe- ell committee reported that no action had been taken regarding the erection Ot an addition to the Camp school as one Of the members of the state board or education was out of the state. The matter was referred to the committee on school accommodations to prepare figures showing that the addition is needed for the accommodation of the children in that district.
 A communication was received from the health commission asking that the school physicians cooperate with the commission. It was referred to the committee on health and sanita ton.
 It was voted to give the school children a holiday on Washington's birthday but not on Lincoln's birth day. MT. Pease expressed the opinion that there are too many holidays for the children.
