ACADEMY HAD MARROW ESCAPE.
Spontaneous Combustion In Big Soft
Coal Bin Makes Brisk Fire.

Morrisville, Sept. but for the
fortunate discovery of smoke issuing
from the basement of People academy
soon after one o'clock Wednesday
morning by John Stewart and the
Billings boys who were returning home
from dance, this historic building
would have been in ruins this morning.
The fire company responded promptly
and with the great water supply from
the municipal system, literally drowned
the fire out, nearly filing the basement
with water.
The building was filled with dense
black smoke and it will take a week
to clean it out so that, the building can
be used
The timbers over the coal bin were
badly burned but the fire did not work
into the partitions or through the
floors. The loss will be several thou
sand dollars which is covered by insur-
ance.
The academy was to open next week.
Sept. 9th. Two cars of soft coal had
been recently put in and conditions
were favorable for spontaneous COM
bustion.
A similar fire at the state hospital at
Waterbury several years ago did much
damage.
