made considerable progress A perfect panic was
caused among the inmates, who rushed hither
aud thither through the building until they be-
came exhausted or suffocated from the smoke,
and sank down The police rendered valuable as
sistance and carried out number Of old people
who had become unconscious There were one
hundred and eighty-fye old people in the build
ing at the time, and in one part their egress had
been cut of by the smoke and flames, SO they
went up to the roof. Their shrieks and cries
might have been heard for blocks. The smoke
