[[Acadome]] fire.  A great fire left [[Acadome]] in ruins.  [[Childs (surname) | Childs]] building cleaned out and narrow escape of the [[American House]].  Loss 70000, insurance 55000.  Late Monday morning, [[Wooster, Ohio | Wooster]] was visited by greatest confligaration in its history.  The [[Acadome]], famous far and near as a commendable building and one of the finest in the city, a busy place of trade, has been demolished.  Nothing but the bare broken walls being left.  At 2:30 in the morning there was massive smoke noticed by policeman [[Segner (surname) | Segner]] and about the same time, Mr. And Mrs. WJ [[Rawlins (surname) | Rawlins]], who occupied rooms on the second floor of the Childs building [[Victoria Gallery]], where the fire originated, were awakened by the presence of smoke in their sleeping rooms.  Mr. [[Rawlins (surname) | Rawlins]] sprang to the floor and opened a door to the adjoining front room where a dense cloud of smoke met him and forced him back.  The only chance of escape was through the front room, the windows of which opened onto the street.  Lighting the gas and hastily gathering up a garment or two for protection, Mr. [[Rawlins (surname) | Rawlins]] opened the door again and supporting his wife, dashed through the stifling smoke and gained the front windows.  Quickly raising it, they stepped out on the narrow cornice over [[EB Childs Boot and Shoe Store]], from which they were shortly afterwards rescued by a plank from the pavement.  They had become thoroughly chilled by the cold and almost choked to suffocation by the smoke so much that Mrs. [[Rawlins (surname) | Rawlins]] had to be carried to a place of safety.  Although the fire bells had been ringing fiercely and those who were on the street cried instantly, few people had reached the scene of devastation.  At the time of the rescue, [[Childs (surname) | Childs]] building was a three story brick front with a two story addition in the rear and an alley 20 feet wide separating it from the [[American House]] to the west and it is adjoined by the [[Acadome]] property and in the rear is hedged in by a collection of barns and rockeries that should not be allowed to stand in close proximity to valuable property.  From observations made shortly after the alarm and since the fire, that it originated in the second floor of the [[Childs (surname) | Childs]] building in a room used for storing coal.  The assertion that it started in the chemical rooms of [[Rawlins and Co.]] photography gallery we think are incorrect as that room is located on the third floor back of the operating room and is not burned out.  Appearance indicated that the fire did not proceed from it.  As to how the fire originated, there are various opinions.  Incindiananism is winked at by many and some attribute it to no particular source.  Mr. [[Rawlins (surname) | Rawlins]] confidently proclaims that it is incendiary and gives his reason why in substance as follows:

      A stairway ascends from the front on  E Liberty Street to the second floor and the hall leads on through to the back of the building where another stairway descends to the ground.  The hall is open from the street but a door closes it at the rear.  Mr. [[Rawlins (surname) | Rawlins]] said he always bolted it at night and that two or three times this week he heard and found it open in the morning.  On Sunday in particular, he set a bucket on the outside and bolted the door which he found open after coming from church in the evening.  He bolted it again.  At 9:30 pm, while sitting in room, he heard a slight noise in the hall and went to ascertain what was the cause and not discovering anything, he resumed his reading.  Shortly afterwards, a noise was repeated of someone walking and coming in contact with some movable article on the floor.  He hasten to the hall, lighted the gas and discovered that the back door was open.  This of course, created some uneasiness in mind, but was forgotten after retiring to bed.  That someone was prowling about the premises is his earnest belief.  This person or persons returned after he went to bed and applied the match.  He is also inclined to believe seemingly verification of this in a report of two or three men who’s word can be relied upon, that they overheard two men talking on the subject of fire at the depot on Monday morning and one said to the other “I knew of this three weeks ago.”  It must be taken with some allowance.

At the time of the first alarm, the fire had broken out of the window on the alley next to the [[American House]] and completely enveloped the position of the building making fearful headway to other parts.  The firemen responded to the call quickly. “Deludge” and “Wooster #2” taking the stand on the square. “Good Entent” also came to the rescue.  Before any water could be thrown, the [[American House]] was on fire in several places, then when the firemen got to work, they made rapid progress and subdued the flames and thoroughly wetting adjoining buildings.  Up to this time, no particular fears had been entertained for the [[Acadome]].  But when it was announced that “Deludge” had burned a flue and retired until another one could be replaced, doubts began to manifest themselves.  Although the relief men ably supported by #3, worked like hordes doing and daring everything, they could not confine the fire to the [[Childs (surname) | Childs]] building and inch by inch it worked its way under the tin room and through every cornice of the ill fated [[Acadome]].  As misfortune never comes singly, another happened along at the stage of affairs which was  the failure of the reservoir on the square.  It took time to place “Relief” on W Liberty Street and #3 on E Liberty Street and in that interval, the [[Acadome]] was doomed to destruction.

Chief Engineer [[DeYoung (surname) | DeYoung]] managed the department skillfully and systematically and if misfortune had not crossed his path, he would have saved a vast amount of property.  With water again brought into the conflict, the roof of the [[Acadome]] and the stage and scenery in the hall were on fire.

Daylight had arrived and the firemen worked on bravely and unceasingly, some of them thoroughly drenched with their clothing frozen stiff on their backs as the air was very cold.  Coffee was passed around for them by ladies living in the vicinity and drank with a relish and a “God Bless You“.  By 7 am, the fire was under control.  The upper stories of the Childs building were burned out and the lower floor drenched with water.  The [[Acadome]] was cleaned completely out, leaving only the warehouse in the rear.  By 10 am, the upper half of the wall of [[Acadome]] fell with a terrible crash to the pavement. Fortunately, no one was standing near at the time.  But firemen and citizens had been passing and re-passing very frequently.  The Power building west of the [[Acadome]] which was burned three weeks ago, did not take fire.  In looking over the results of the fire, we find that seven business firms have been driven out property of value of 75000 and has been destroyed or rendered useless of which there is insurance amounting to 55000.  The following is a detailed statement of the insurance.  [[Acadome]] building, owned by LJ [[Barker (surname) | Barker]] and DQ [[Liggett (surname) | Liggett]] for 17100, insurance as follows: German of Erie, PA-2000, Hibernia of Cleveland- 1500, Mercantile of Cleveland- 2000, Citizens of Newark, NJ- 2000, House of NY- 3000, Old Deminia of Virginia- 2000, 4600 in Columbiana and Western Mutual of Urbana.  Childs building, owned by Robert [[Childs (surname) | Childs]], no insurance.  [[Barrett and Ogden Clothing Store]] insurance- 6000 in Western Mutual, 3000 Hartford Ins., 1000 Phoenix of Hartford and 1000 in North British.  EB [[Childs (surname) | Childs]] boot and shoes store, 1500 in Aetna of Hartford.  L [[Firestone (surname) | Firestone]] druggists, insurance 11000 in Knox Mutual, 3000 Ashland Mutual, 2000 Richland Mutual, 3000 American Central, 2000 Howard of NY 1000.

The walls are closed on both sides and at the rear where a fire wall projects above.  The roof is tinted and skylights are arranged in bonnet shape facing the north from which direction fire is not likely to enter.  The front is a combination of design of brick and stone, lower floor is enclosed with heavy plate glass set in imitations of iron frames.  The trimmings in upper portions are of pressed stone from manufactory of CM [[Amslen (surname) | Amslen]], which makes a very smart appearance.  The interior of the building is quite attractive.  Capt.
