FIRE RECORD.

Lunattss Screaming and Y elling-An Ex-
 citing F1Ee on Wards Island.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Shortly after Il o'clock this morning fire broke out in the east wing of the lunatic asylum on Wards is- land. For time there was great excite ment. There were three alarms sent out and the fire department answered promptly. In the meantime the fire appliances at the asylum were brought into use. The lunatics were terribly frightened and their screenings and ravings turned the place into yeritable pandsmonium. Many of the inmates for time became unmanageabls and it was by the greatest efforts that they were subdued and rescued.
