Phoenix Engine Hot For.

It was clearly apparent that a more
efficient Weapon was needed to cope
with such a serious fire titan the regu-
lar pressure. though it was 80 pounds
at tldewatnr, lilo water department
announced, and one of the tire teams
was sent back after the Phoenix en-
gine. Previous to that time a second
general alarm had been sent in to
arouse every available fireman.

' All through this trying time, before

the strainer was pltt to work on the
Job. it appeared that the flames would
wipe out the whole building before
they could be checked. Water was
being poured into the building by the
hundreds of flattens and while it seem-
ed that tile streallls were not holding
the blaze in check, it was soon seen
that these first efforts Wore doing
much to save the front part of the
building.

Cuntents of Building Taken Out.

out of the front section on account of
the progress of the flames there. Most
of thc. furnishings had, however. been
removed by that time.

Phoenix Engine Chances Situation.

There was a change in the situation
soon after the Phoenix engine had be-
gun pumping. She arrived at 2:15 and
within a few minutes Engineer George

the nppnrattfia to the scene ill the first

of the steamer. it was 3 o'clock before
the fire could be declared actually on»

Fire Becomes Worse.

At 2:45. the flames took an extra
foothold. By that time, a small
hrcezc had sprung up from the west-
ward. scnding the flames sweeping
down through thi- burning area to the
portion lit the rear that previously had
not seemed to be ill mach danger.
The gymnasium seemed fitted for des-
truction tnlt the firemen attached the
blazing roof and within a few minutes
had dissipated the danger thcrc, With
this quarter covered, thc fire was real-
izl-d to be under control.

Water Soaked Ruins
A atrcah of dawn could be seen in
the cast and efforts of the fireman in
llquciclling the remaining firs kept
space with the arrival of the daylight.
The latter revealed an nninvitlng mass
of water soaked smoking ruins.

Students Find Shelter

While the fire was still blazing
fiercely. Major Wilson was interviewer]
rcgardlng the safety of the boys. > He
stated they were then all sale and he
was positive that none had been into
pod ill the building. Some of the boys
were taken into the homes of Mrs. W.
It Without and John S. Seymour. while
others sought shelter at the Norwaik
Hotel. Some of the little fellow; were
put to bed at Mr. Seymotlr‘s residence
even while the fire was ill progress.
Some or the student did not even
rccovcr enough clothes to wear on the
strcct and, had to go about ltl night
clothes and bathrobes until clothing
could tic procured for them. Luck of
sumcicnt clothing for street attire did
not worry the lads. who were thank-
flll of their ”cape.

School Wu Prolporous

The fire came at it time when the
school was in its most prospelous con-
dition since Mnicr Wilson hull had it.
The boarding and resident students
numbered fifty or more and this was
commencement week.
The commencement program had
been arranged for Friday of this week.
ltocently the school had a considerable
‘tqulsition when the Stamford Mlii~
iary Academy broke up.

Several Foreign ltudlnts
Of the students a number of them
are foreigners. The later include
three from (tulip and one each from
tilintemlllia. Portland Nicaragua. The
foreign students are almost without

The‘chlef pulled down the, ladder
that was against the building and
George Powell ran in to help him. In
some way or other the ladder twisted
around and struck Powell on the back
of the head. There were no other ac-
cldents, though there were many nar-
roy escapes from injuries by falling
timbers and beams.

The Building Insurance.

Judge Edward M. Lockwood, who is
the administrator for the Seileck
property, said. this morning, that the
insurance on the building was carried
with the firm of Raymondd: Pollard.
The insurance man told The Sentinel
this morning that the insurance car-
ried on the building was to the amount
of 810.000. He said that in all proba-
bility the loss amounts to at least 88.-
000 and he thinks it may reach the
$9,000 mark. The insurance will be
adjusted as soon as possible. The
company has been notiiled and their
representatives are expected hourly.

Little insurance on Contents.

Mater Wilson said this morning that
the insurance on the furniture was
light and that it Was carried mainly
with New Yon. agents. The furniture
loss will then be very heavy. as many "
(inc pieces of furniture welc lost in
the blame.

Many Visit Ruins.

This morning there were many peo-
llc who visited the scene of the ruln~
d building. There are great piles of
furniture and the boys‘ belongings
which were carried out last evening on
the grass. with little groups of boys
sitting in the center of them. The clear
weather is one of the fortunate things
which are assisting the lads.

Students Will Return Home.

Many of the students will go home
tomorrow. Some went today. Two of
the smaller boys went home to New
York with their father, who had come .'
up in response to a telegram.
Commencement Exercises and Hop

Called Off.

The commencement exercises will
be. cllltcl‘ delayed or given up altogeth-
cr and the hop for which the invita-
tions have been issued for Friday eve-
ning will be called off. This ill con-
sldercd as a great misfortune by the
many who were going to attend.

Major Wilson said that the boys
would be filled up with clothes as soon
as poludble and sent to their homes.
The boys were Inlay with paper and .
pencil this morning matting out a list
of the things they need to make a
respectable appearance. Many have
