SPECIAL MEETING OF THE TRUSTEES. ‘The Board of Public School Trustees held a spe meeting last evening—Mr. Curtis in the ehair—to consider the question of substituting for the plan of the new school building in the first district, originally agreed upon, a differen” and less expensive one. ‘This is the buitdt tor which a contract had been made with Mr. ylor, Commissioners ‘Dent and Morgan, and ¢ inspector, Mr. Entwisle, were tt ecnfer With the school trustees an the subject and Mr. Dent said that the Comfmissione! aseertained that it would be impracticable to ¢ rect both of the buildings (this one and thaton Capitol Hil) on the origtnal plan. Mr. Richards, one of the sureties on the bond of the failing contractor, Was at work on the building in the eastern part of the city, The building in the first distriet could not be erected for the amount of the original contract, and it had been sugges- ted whether it would not bs better to complete the building on a cheaper plan. Mr. Samson suf ted that they could go on in accordance with the plans and ask a de- ficlency appropriation. Commissioner Morgan replied that there was nothing so Tena i in Congress as a deficiency, and that they better do the best they could with the mary they had. Ins] w Entwisle remarked that $54,000 was available for the first district school, and in answer to Mr. Lloyd he said to put up the Ere building at present prices would cost ‘The modified Lee! (with 12 rooms, the same size as those of the Henry building, with more gontracted halls.) was exhibited and. discussed. Mr. Somerville uirged the loption of a modified pian rather than let the aj Ci lapse into the Treasury. Mr. Lloyd offered a resolution that the committee on buildings and repairs confer with the Commissioners on a plan for the erection of a 12-room building. Commis- sioners Dent and Morgan nce Entwisle hav- ing explained the fir. Baldwin said that he was getting tired of being snubbed, and he thought it was of little use for the buliding committee to keep trotting down to the District Commisstoners’ office. He instanced the Commusstoners ‘asking the com- mittee for suggestions and | promising to accept them and then ignoring ths Mr. Lovejoy remarked that they should go there again, and if snubbed the whole board would be snubbed. He offered a resolution, which was adopted: “That the honorable Com- missioners be requested to submit the question of the ap) iteation, of the $37,500 for the erection of the school building in the first district to the school ‘board, with power to act; that they au- thorize it to} prepare ins and specifications subject to the approval of the Ca ee and for that direct the inspector and architect to give them any assistance required, and that ete Comnumtttee on Sai ana re- airs, together e inspector of buildin; bes authorized to su) sgh the eaencdon 1 pane ae Sees at the com- Tnlttee of buil ae present this res- olution as the opi on of the board, which was adopted. Superintendent Wilson called attention to the fact that the estimates made by the trustees and transmitted through the Commissioners to the Treasury department had been cut down. and hanger that the proper committee shoul ask an increased aj Spprop ropriation. Mr. Lovejoy said the committee on legisiation had already Considered the subject, and would do all they could to obtain the appropriation as asked for by the board.

THE FIRE aT TERRA CoTTa.—The fire at the Potcmac Terra Cotta works yesterday. (men- tioned in Tae Star last evening,) destroyed everything on the place which could be burned. it had its origin, as stated yesterday, in the cupola of the principal kiln, and the roof of the main building, a frame structure of four stories, ing there was a large quantity of machinery, as also much stock, tndat the time there was a force of about 6 men at work. These did everything in their power to prevent the spread of the fire, but were unsuccessful, for the pow- erful steam pump was soon cut off by the spread of the tiames.

Fire oe Hume and Yr. R. Fleming who examined the building this morning, say that THE FIRE ORIGINATED from the furnace and steam heater. They had not been used for four years and were started yesterday morning, evidently without any water in the boller; asthe iron work seems to have been at white heat, the communtcations being melted and every indication of-extreme heat. | The brick walls about the furnace room were ‘240 by 100 feet, caught from this.

At tat time the owner was a Senator from the state of Nevada. Its cost, a5 well as the cost of furnishing it, has been stated at various amounts. Mr. Cluss was the architect of the building, which cost about | $50,000, amd the furnishing of it did not cost much less. Much of the furniture was made to order in Europe, and the ¢: ts and lace hang- ings were also Imported, and were very costly. Many fine paintings and works of art were lost by this fire and cannot easily be replaced. For a great portion of the time since Tt was completed and furnished the building has been unoccupied except by the servants and watch- | man. Sometime in the early part of the seo summer Mrs, Stewart arrived here and | possession, and has been living here ever Hee uring this time it is stated she has expended $15,000 in repairs and improvements, It is stated that a lew years since the house was in- sured for $60,000, but at the present time a policy | of only $20,000 is all the insurance there is upon it.
