tho Fifty Patients Without Serious
Trouble-Ne One Injured, and all Com
fOrtably Cared For-Loss $1,000 With
No Insurance.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.]
ST. PETER, MIMI, Jan. 10.-The group Of
buildings on Third street, this city, and well
known as the temporary hospital, was the
scene of great excitement tonight. They
consisted Of large three story
stone building formerly the Ewing
House, and long two.story
frame building, both filled with patients, tn
office of the steward and assistant physician
the attendants quarters and stewards resi-
dence, all owned by the state, besides two or
three other rented buildings, all occupied as
stated.
At $50 an alarm of fire was sounded, and
twas soon discovered that the northeast corner
of the second story of the frame building, was
on fire. TWAS occupied by male patients, and
their attendants. The basement was used as
wash room and kitchen. The patients were
quietly removed to the stone building near
by with little confusion and no
harm to any one of the fifty patients who had
just escaped from it, The high wind which
had been blowing all day had moderated
greatly when the fire broke out, and although
there was great scarcity of water, the office
and all other buildings in the vicinity were
saved.
No such scenes of terror, suffering and
death that were part of the calamity OF
year ago, were visible tonight.
At this writing the building is nearly level
with the ground, and feeling of great thank
fulness that it was no worse is expressed
by all. Those having friends in the institu-
ton need have no fears as every one is well
cared for and comfortable.
There was no insurance, although the trus-
tees have frequently asked for an appropria-
ton for this purpose. The building was old
and cost 81 900 in 1857
