Chicago Has short Experience with a
Mysterious Firp Bug.
CHIcAco, June Slate last night there
was IN alarm Of fire from the mercantile
block, lis Lasalle street. The insurance
pastel discovered flames in the rear Of the
basement Of the place and back Of the
cigar store. The material on fire was alot
Of shavings and rubbish, and was about
two feetdistantfrom a barrel Of petroleum.
It was at once apparent that the blaze was
a case Of arson, and Q thorough examin.
alton OF the premises was instituted. On
reaching Q closet near the place OF the fire
q door was found locked. This, at that
hour, and with no one In tho store, was
suspicious. The door was quickly burst
open and a man found cronching in the
corner. He was hauled out, and gave bis
name as Oliver Peterson, q Swede, 40
years OF age. Some weeks ago there was
4 mercurial alarm from the same number
on La Sale street, and on reaching there
the iEemen found similar blaze 10 that
Of lest night and like materials. At the
same time o man was seen running out Of
the building, and the supposition is that
he was Peterson, who is now locked up.

O'clock last tighta tire broke out in the
right wing Of the centre building Of the
Eastern Lunatic Asylum here, and before
-it could be got under control everything
was destroyed. The buildings burned
comprise the original ones Of the institu.
ton, and were erected over one hundred
years ago. There were two hundred female
patients in the burned buildings, but all
of them were rescued except one, Miss
Smith, Of spottsylyania county, who was
burned to death. Another patient, Mrs.
Jetffies, alter being brought out Of the
building, wandered away and was found
this morning drowned in q creek near by.
All the female patients were taken to vii.

temporarily cared for. The other'wards
contained three hundred male pstients.
These wards were quickly emptied and
the untortnAates tttned loose, but did not

When It was found that the fire was
getting beyond control, aid was tele.

reached here from that city at about s

done Its worst. The Richmond tiremen,
however, went to work and did good ser.
