Many of tha . Bedridden Lrmate Brrrned to a Crisp. A Kahkake (Hi.) dispatch says that the south infirmary of the Illinois Eastern Hospi tal for the Insane was burned tins rhotnmg at 4:35 a. M. The fire originated in the fur nace room and had obtained a strong head way before it was -discovered. The wood work being of Southern pine, it burned very rapidly. The building was occupied by forty five patients, six attendants and a night watchman. Seventeen patients in all are missing. All of the patients were infirm and incurable. , ' The bedridden one3 were rescued first, and those who were.able to help themselves did not realize the danger in rime, and they perished. The attendants narrowly escaped withtheir lives. One of tha in had to tie bed clothes to gether to escape from a window to the ground. There were no facilities for putting out the fire, the State not having made any appro priation for the purpose. The building was a new one, and cost about $1(5,000. The fol lowing are the names of those who perished: Henry Brown, Rock Island; U. . Belden, Galesburg: George Bennett. Morris; Joseph Calbert, Chicago; Orlando Ellis, Pontiac; J. W. Galloway JSiacoupiri; Thomas - Hickey, Springfield; Matthew Hague, Chebanse;! T. Hachner, Stevenson county; Thomas Hereiy, Chicago; John Johnson, Vermilion; Michael Jordan, Chicago; J. Nathan, Chicago;! A. Rucyard, Winnebago county; C. Stretz, Chi cago: J. W. Tyler, Chicago, and F. Wey mouth, Putnam county. It was 12 degrees below aero whaBU TtftV- man Cobb divttwp8,srtJls8uin3 from the fin -av,e the furnaces.. He at mnce awoke I the attendants. Smoke was drawn through m3 uuu uu-;-!an gWKgr tr Dili's ojvj stair ways to air parts ot ' tife 'SlufcUiJs. The fire spread so rapidly that all efforts to save the building weie in vain. Attendant Reid be gan dragging and carrying out patients. Many patients clad in night clothes onlv rushed from the bitter cold air back into aa building. Reid struggled on till twenty-one patients were rescued, when he became exhausted, and was carried away. On the second floor attendant Rose and his wife heard tha alarm and eseuped down the stairway just before it felh . Attendant Brown, sleeping on the same floor, was awakened by the smoke, and at tempted to save a patient in an adjoining room, but failed, and, sliding down by the aid of a sheet from his window, jumped to the grouf d. : 8iperintendent R. S. Dewey, with ladders, climbed to the second-story windows,; and was able to rescuo some of the patients by tuis meaEi. Almost al 1 tho patients refused to co-operate in the erf arts being mad? to fave thtm, and were only rescued by being dragged from the flames and held fronrre turniug. A marvelous escape was that of an inmate who fell with the second floor, strik ing the burning debris above the furoaesand bounding through a window to the ground ui. injured. fiie remains of the bodies- of twelve pa iicnis have been taken from the ruins, burned to fi-agmeutsw A coroner s inquest was Iwid, at which Superintendent Dewey testified that he had asked the legislature two years ,to for $2,500, to protect these detachad --.! ni? from fire; that $!,K) was allowed, ari of whiL-h was used in mains aud hydrants. Ho gave two reasons for the groat number of it-fefi; the tbVtvM 7 p'-r-t r.V reached, and second, the insane were unable or unwilling to help themselves. The remains of the bodies, with one excep tion were simply handfuls of charred ashes. H. W. Beldon, aged fifty years, of Gales burg, the only victim whose remains "pre served even the semblance of a human being, was a prominent man in his part of the1 State. He was on the second floor, was ;i :i invalid, and wa unabla to help himself. .8;; perititendent Dewey placed a ladder to his window and broke the glass with his h tnd-; ba : being unable to break the sash descended for some urrpleinent to break it .with, Meantime Bolden's shrieks 1 for , he!;", were loud and agonizing, but as Dewey rt -ascended his cries died away.' The smoke' and flames poured from the window so that no help could be given him.' Dr. Dewey, hear ng eailsfor help from an other window, hurried' to the ro.-cae, an! dragged a ISO-pound patient through the window, and bore him safely to the gronn i. Attendant Harry Brown, : who was sk pil ing n the upper floor,. esxupbd ';y tying his bid sheets together, ; -tiug himself out of the witi'V; '-. and dropping fifteen feet to the ground: m i out receiving any injury. All" the tw.. -1: y one inmates on the first floor, except nr.. were saved. ' Tationt Hague, who lo?t ii life on the second floor, refused to follow . v o of his companions down a ladder, and au is; stant later disappeared from sight, overcom . . by suffocation.
