Florul Hall Destroyed l»y Fire.

Floral Hall was destroyed by
fire Sunday morning having been
set by children at play in the build
ing. Il was not discovered until
just before the flames broke through
the roof and it was in ashes ten
minutes after the ularm was turn
ed in.
Gerald and Maurice FitzGerald,
aged 5 and 4, sons of M. Fitz
Gerald, and George Moffett, about
the same age, a son of Robert
Moffett touched the match that
destroyed the building..
They
had crawled through a mull open
ing in one corner of tne building
near which a case of coal oil was
stored. They upset one can on the
floor and getting some paper
applied the match, immediately
scampering to a place of safety
near Mrs. Riggs’ house where they
were seen later confessing their
guilt.
Floral Hall which was a wooden
structure, 50x90, was erected
four years ago at a
cost
of 11800, and its destruction by
fire is a total loss to its owner H.
C. Smith, as there was no insurance
on the building. There was but a
small amount of inside propertv,
and beside a small loss to Mr.
Smith of some scenery, the only-
other loser was his brother Joel
Smith, who had been employed at
the grounds and who on Saturday
had placed his tools in the build-
for safe keeping.
The loss was a hard knock on
the Fair Association but they
were at work immediately securing
lumber and carpenters and an ad
dition has been built on the west
side of the grand stand, and with
the use of a part of the latter struc-1
ture they have a building 30x48,
which it is thought will be ample
space for the proper display and
care of all exhibits.
