DESTRUCTION Of the TwUlIa Station and Office Bulling Iky Becsrds Aliw Cmsnmed by tlie $10,000 Loss. The large and handsome station office baiildlng of the Vandalia company at, Sycainjre and Godfrey was ruined by fire between 5:30 and 8:50 o'clock last evening.

It was a two-story frame building, and the loss is between 18,000 and $1.0,000. The records in the office of Trainmaster Burke, Master Carpenter Finch and Supervisor Bowen were a'so destroyed. Charles the trainmaster's clerk lost a new typewriter. The build ing was insured bv the tennsylvanta railroad company, which controls the eotlre VaEidnlla system, but the amount is not known to the local officials. The contents of the bag gage room were saved from the flames.

The instruments, tick ets and caiih were taken from the telegraph office before the flames reached that part of the building. The building was heated by a furnace located in the basement where the fi.re started. Coal was used in the furnace, which is supposed to have become overheated. It was about three o'clock in the afternoon when the lanitor visited the base ment last. Shortly after 5 o'clock James Mack, the operator and ticket agent, first discovered smoke in the building and shortly after the flames burst through the floor.

He escaped from the bnlloiing by crawling through the noith window of the ticket office onto the platform. Supervisor Bowen, who was in his office on the second floor, alsio escaped through a window. A baggage truck was pulled up the window and the' drop was thus ru- dnced to four or five feet. The fire department responded promptly to fihe firsit alarm, but owing bo the fact that but two lines of hose jould be stretched, firemen wojked at a disadvantage. They did well to save the freight house, across the track from the station.

Tfie ruined building was the largest and handsomest on the Michigan division of the Vandalla. Tbe original depot building was enlarged about three years ago to accommodate the officials of the Michigan division, now located at Terre Haute. It is now thought that while the company will erect another building, it will be an iinsignilicant affair, wheia compared to the one just destroyed. The department, was called a second time at 10:30 last night to cx- lingulsh amother outbreak of the flames. Superintendent Hatch and other division officials came up from Terre Saute, this and arrangements will likely be made at once to rebuild the station.

The pumps were set to work in the Walton oil well last Saturday aod after some 40 barrels were stored away in the tanks, pumping was suspended on account of some detect In the machinery. The olHs of a superior quality and from what can be learned tbe well will prove a good producer. Pumping was resumed again yesterday and will be continued until the value of tbe well is ascertained.

Findlay, firm will erect a derrick on the Chick farm southwest of Walton this week and the Logansport company expect to locate a well on the Ijams farm.
