THE ST. PETER CALAMITY.

Although the destruction Of prop.
erty and human lives caused by the
great fire at tile Insane Asylum at St.

it is much less than was reported at
different times soon after the disaster
took place, The north wing of the
immense building was entirely con
sumed, and the total loss to the State
will be from 100000 to $4,000.

wing, were saved by the heroic eff.
forts OF the fire department. and cjti-

the hospital at the time of the fire,
243 of whom were chartered in the
burned wing. OF this number, l3

was probably strong current Of air.
The scenes at the asylum during
4he progress Of The fire are described
as heart.rendiny in the extreme.
Some were seen at the windows Of
the upper stories wringing their
hands in the greatest excitement,
while others stood staring calmly at
their terrible surroundings, Some
of the attendants at the institution
together with Il number Of others
who were present, showed a truly
wonderful amount of heroism in fac.
extreme dangers for The purpose OF
rescuing the lives Of the unfortun-
ate inmates of the buildings. Those
heroes rescued over forty of the most
violent maniacs, many Of whom
fought terribly against their remoy-
al, and some Of them even bit their
deliverers in a severe manner. Those
maniacs were taken out of uppcrwlIl l.
dows and down long ladders at great
risk Of life, the smoke and flames Of
ten enyeloplng them and brands OF
fire dropping onto or near them.
