$250 Fire in Langdell Hall

Langdell Hall, the new law school building, was endangered last evening by the occurrence of a small fire. The fire, which was due to spontaneous combustion, started in the basement of the hall, and had made considerable head-way when discovered at about 9 o'clock by the night watchman. Two alarms were rung in immediately, and the fire was quickly extinguished, as soon as the engines arrived. The loss, estimated at about $250.00 was chiefly of plumbers' tools and store lumber, so that the progress of the hall was not materially set back.
