It was examined by Bulld lnjr inspector Nelson who found It in almost perfect condition. The lire had affected It very slightly. Today the street commissioner can hegin to clear up tho court In the rear of the ruins and open It for travel. A temporary sidewalk will at once be laid on tho AVyomlng avenue front and a five-foot fence erected to prevent per sons from falling Into the cellar.

AVHAT CHAIRMAN SATS. Chairman C. E. Chittenden of the Republican city committee said last night that he was confident of tho elec tion of the six Republican school di rectors today. The only danger to he apprehend, ho said, lies In the pos sibility that some Republicans may refrain from voting because not fully Impressed with the Importance of the contest. The prohibition candidates flooded the city yesterday with letters making a plea for an Independent school board and as a basis for such an or ganization asked that tho three pro hibition candidates bo chosen the re maining three to bo selected from the best men among the Republican and Democratic candidates. The Republican city committee will receive returns tonight in the central Republican club rooms.
