Her Beautiful Capitol Buildingby Fire

The Efforts of the Firemen Were FutileThousands of Dollars Worth of Rec ¬

ords Were Xost Fire Thought toBe Cansed by an Electric Wire

Habbisburg Pa Feb 3 Fire wasdiscovered in Lieut Gov Lyons roomon the second floor of the main build¬

ing of the capitol shortly beforeoclock Tuesday The room is directlyover the senate chamber and close tothe senate elevator

The senate had taken a recess at1225 until 1 oclock to await the re ¬

ception from the house of the amendedMitchell treasury resolution and itwas just as President pro tern Carrollwas preparing to take the chair that apage boy gave him the informationthat fire had been discovered It wasthought at first to be of a trivial na¬

ture and Chief Clerk Smiley directeda bucket brigade to go into service

Meanwhile an alarm was sent infrom the senate library The effortsof the men with buckets were futileand they returned with the informa-tion

¬

that the flames were beyond theircontrolQ The senate was well filled when thisnews was received and it spread rap-idly

¬

among the senators and specta-tors

¬

that the fire was of a most seriousnature There was a scrambling forovercoats and hats and under thechief clerks direction the senate rec-ords

¬

were carried to places of safetyWith the arrival of the fire depart ¬

ment came thousands of spectatorsand the capitol park in the vicinity ofthe burning building was soon a massof struggling humanity Before thefiremen could direct a stream on theburning building it was found that thestructure was doomed

In the house the first intimation con-cerning

¬

the fire was the discovery ofsmoke in the upper corridors Theword was quicklv passed around andmuch excitement prevailed Rapidlythe members left their seats and therewere but few representatives in thehall when two or three shouted outmotions to adjourn After the motionto adjourn had been made there wasa rush for the doors Employesof the department of public buildingsand grounds were hustling about inan effort to do something toward ex¬

tinguishing the conflagration butwere powerless to accomplish any ¬

thing Owing to the location of theroom in which the fire started the fire-men

¬

had difficulty in getting a streamon the flames Finally lines of hosewere drawn through the corridorson the second floor and the realwork of the firemen began but it wasapparent that whatever work theymight do would avail little in savingthe main building President pro temMcCarroll and Speaker Boyer watchedfiom the east of the park with manyother members tho demolition of oneof the best specimens ofcolonial archi-tecture

¬

to be found in the countryIt was apparent that the entire

building was doomed and that thebest thing that could be done was tetake precautions toward saving theadjoining structures Twenty minutesafter the arrival of the firemen theceiling in the senate chamber fell A

large number of persons were slightlyinjured by falling glass when thecrash came The origin of the fire isin doubt The insurance on the buildidg is placed at 160000 The interiorof the house had just been remodeledat a cost of 150000

It was feared that the fire wouldcommunicate to the department of in-

ternal¬

affairs the building on theright where valuable land awards andother documents from the foundationof the state are on file The senateand house will probably meet in twolarge halls in this city In addition tothe insurance given above the contractor has an insurance of 70000

The loss will probably reach threequarters of a million dollars withabout 300000 insurance

lard work it is now said that the postffice authorities have succeeded inunning to earth a band of thievesvhich has been robbing the governnent of stamps at the rate of aboutM 00000 a year for many years backChe first arrest was made Wednesdayn this city and it will be followed upt is further said by the arrest of thethers in the gangThe man who was arrested in this

jity is Hamilton F Coleman a clerk mhe chief clerks department in thegeneral land office in Washington OverJ5 000 worth of stamps were found ohlis person These stamps are knownis periodical stamps They ranged inyalue from one cent to 00 A numberf these sets of stamps are sent to

¬

for the postage paid and cancelsstamps amounting in full value to thatsum

These stamps are returned cancelledto headquarters in Washington Anew issue of these stamps was orderedin 1S94 Before that time an issue hadnot been made since about 1S75

The collectors of postage stamps areeager for the stamps and always havebeen and so the stamps have beenstolen and sold to them The face val¬

ue of the stamps is 204 74 The mar-ket

¬

price it is said have been almosttwice that much so that the thieveswho have been stealing them havebeen making small fortunes

It is against one of the statutes of theUnited States to have these stamps inones possession the supposition beingnaturally that as they are never forcirculation and not intended to leavethe hands of the authorities the per-sons

¬

who have them must necessarilyhave stolen them Coleman was takenbefore Commissioner Shields PostOffice Inspector Morris made anaffidavit that Coleman had receivedthese stamps from one Randolph JAlbrecht and that he had them in hispossession in violation of the UnitedStates laws The commissioner set hisexamination for next Wednesday andfixed his bail at 2000 He sent sev-eral
