YPSILANTl'S GRKAT I IKK, The citizems of Ypsilanti have been uu ortunate again in the burning oí their leautiiul blgn school buildlogj whieh event occurred last Thuvsday aiternoon. How the building caught lire is a mvstery, which ill probubly iirviT bc solved;. The home fire department was on ! basta promptly, but tbe flamea had ! gathered such headway that they icmlil do llttle gobd. The Ann Arfoor tiro dtpartment 1) - Ing calted upoa, the gray team made run to Ypellanti, and wlthin 38 minutes trom the unie they drbve ou1 oi the emglneliousahere, hada stieain on the burning buiMiug. Il was magn.,i -n; time, and proved the metal oí the team ito be oí the staying quality. Tlie followlng notes oí the fire are ,.,;- n r,.,,.,n tbe i).ii:y Times oï May 4t li : The only town clock which the city afforded was that destroyed yesterday. It was a valuable one, keeping very accurate time and when the flames crept about it, it was like witnessing the dying gasps of a human being. At one time just before its destruction the minute hand made a jump of about three minutes and then subsided. Notwithstanding the burning of the greater part of the building the clock undoubtedly attracted more attention than anything else. It will be much missed. The huge bell which was accustomed to assemble the scholars feil at intervals to just above the main entrance. The several landing prevented a terrible crash. Olive Collins, who jumped from the second story did not have a leg broken as was reported but was badly injured about the spine and ankles. The most plausible theory of the cause of the fïre is that the prismatic shaped skylight on the roof and the plane one which lights the chapel be low made possible a concentration o rays of the sun, that body being at the time about in its zenith, upon some cobwebs hanging from the lower sky light and this set flre to those minute things which by nature's aid could re sult in the disaster. Numerous hats and books and schoo supplies were left in the building by the children and what of the latter were carried out were so mixed up that it will be impossible to straighten them out completely for some time. One of the most competent men in the city figures that the walls as they now stand are worth $15,000 in rebuilding the school. The insurance foots up to $34,650, which will not make the loss to the city as much as would be naturally supposed. The north wing was the least damaged and could be put in shape at a moderate cost. "He who hesitates is lost' was never more true than in the present ca&e. Por some time past there lias been in eonsideration before the common council the purchase of 500 feet of new hose and the rottenness of that on hand, which was demonstrated yesterday, should accelerate action on the part of the new council. Nothing but praise is heard for the phenomenal promptness' of the Aim Arbor fire department in responding to the cali for aid. There may be onsiderable rivalry Ín many things but when necessity prompts we are slill "The Twin Cities." The following insurance compamea had risks upon the property: Those who had $1,400 and W50 each on the building and permanent ñxturess and the supplies, etc, are the Sun, Connecticut, Aetna, Continental, Springfield, German-American, America Fire, Nortii Britlsh, Hartford, Commercial ünion, Detroit Fire and Marine, Phoenix, Northwest, Liverpool (Lonion and Globe), Home, Queen, Royal, Jaklana Home and Trans-Atlantic. The Phoenix also had another $ïoü on the building and $125 on the flxtures. The Pennsjlvania Co. had ?2,100 on the building aiid 375 on the supplies. This footj up to $29,400 on the building and $i,250 on the supplies er a i -;il Of $34,650. Ihe loss is about $4. 000. The -tilgn öcnooi ana eismii s'"" scholars will meet at the Cleary Business College on Monday to continue classes, arrangements having made for their accommodation there. ïhe Michigan Bell Telephone Co. have the most appreciative thanks oL the Times for the service given yesterday over the metallic line. The line was held open for the accommodation of gettlng as full a report as was possible at the late hour of the disaster. The Ypsilar.ti Dress Stay hose was not the first on the ground, that honor belonging to Hose Co. No. 2, but it was the flrst to enter the building and go up near the danger point. It was taken charge of by Ike Davis, who was so fearless that when even they tried to drag him out he clinched the hose flrmly and stood at his post as long as pos3ible.i Ike says if one of the other worlds is any hotter than where he was yesterday he wants to go to the other place. This last firemakes the third building burned on the present site and all j of them were union school buildings. The flrst one was March 29, 1S57; the stcond Dec. 9, 1877, and the last one May ó, isa. Just about üu years apart. The fire of yesterday demonstrates that we need still more efficiency in the department. Had there been a hook and ladder so that the hose could have been carried up to the clock tower and water deluged the roof oL the main part there would not have been so great a loss. By all means purchase hook and ladder outfit. The new ouncil men should think it over. Jke Davis would be a good nember or the fire department committee of the new common council. There was an amusing scène at the fire yesterday. An elderly man came running up out of breath just after the news had fairly got spread about the city that the building with all the chiidren inside was on fire.
