A FRIGHTFUL CALAMITY.
Burning of a POorhOuse and Its
Helpless Inmates.
Fifteen Persons, Unable to Escape,
Lose Their Lives.

A dreadful calamity has happened at Hart
ford, Mich. The Van Buren, County poor
house was partially destroyed by fire and
fifteen of the inmates lost their lives.
The county buildings comprised large
two-story frame structure, with wing on
the east side, and a two story addition ex-
tending to the south; a new building, occu
pied lately for the service department. and
a building beyond known as the Jail, the
first floor of which was occupied by
the superintendent, Mr.. Cash, and
his family, and the upper story was occupied
by the hired help. In the Jail were confined
the idiotic and violent insane. The newer
building had no occupants The addition to
the main building contained better class of
patients, and it was here that the loss of life
occurred
The first alarm was at o'clock, when man
named Halsey, sleeping in the main building,
was aroused by the cries of the inmates Of
the addition. He ran to the door leading
from the hall and opened it.. As he did SO
the flames burst out into his face, almost
overpowering him. He managed to shut
the door again and give the alarm. This
fortunate move enabled those in the front
part of the structure. which burned rapidly,
to escape with their lives, AMI that Is all The
jail did not i'm nediately catch fire, having a
detached building between it AMI the princi-
pal structure, SO there was plenty of time to
get the inmates out. Nothing was save from
the superintendent's quarters, however, but
Miss Ca,h, daughter of the superintendent,
who was ill from typhoid fever, and was re-
moved to place OF safety.
The patients who persisted were all in one
wing, and most of them were smothered in
their beds, though after the fire several were
found together Only one of the bodies was
recognizable. All that could be found of the
other fourteen bodies was put into one box,
the size of an ordinary coffin box.
