The jail was butlt of brick walls with wooden flours and wooden plunking. Nestto the outslde walls tils woodwork was sheathed with boller-plats fron three-cighths of an inch thick, and was suppozed to be safe against fire, s well as to contoin desperadoes, The cells were also made of boller-plate iron. At the corners of the cells, however, were ventilating flues, with small holes {n the iron loading to them. These flues start from the wool-work. It Is supposed that burning rubbish was thrown Into one of thesu fiues, as the flre was first dlscovered In one of them. {t was almost impossible to hun- dlo the fire, as the burnivg wood was entirely sheathed with iron, After hours. of flooding the structure, aml tearlog the {nalde of it and m part of the roof to pleces, the fire was put out. It will cost $15,000 or 820,000 to repair the bufld- ing. There was $25.000 of _fnsurance un it, 5,000 each In the Frankiin, of Philadelphia, tue Hortford and the Pheenlx of Connectleut, the Western Ansuranco of Torontu, and the Westchoater of New York.
