PHILADELPHIA, Feb. I3.-The IRE .s
Last night at the aims house entirely d.
ssroyed that portion % the institntior,
set apart for the insane. OF the ga
lnnatics confined there MANY are mis-
inc, bot u 10 thought that most Of them
wandered away. A: 3 o'clock this morn
ina tvo more eharred bodies were found
N ward No. 2. They had been roasted
beyond all recognition. Several human
FORMS can be aeefi IN the burning wreck
IN the cells. IL is nov thought that -
OF the inmates perished. That number
OF violent patients were locked in the
cells on the third noor and could not be
reached. Eight of them have been
taken cut, and the others have not been
accounted for. There seems TO be no
doubt that they are lost, and their
bodies are among the ruins. During
tue night many insane persons were
found wandering in different parts of
the esty, some nearly naked. Ths poor
creatures generally seemed unable n
understand the situation and in some
cases begged their captors piteously no,
to throw them into the river, Others
seemed 10 take il as a good Joke and
laughed glsefully wheR the subject of
the IRE was mentioned. Another GAME
down South street early this morning
with a manacle attached to his wrist
and few links of the chain dangling
from IL. He shriekea and laughed AZ
be struck right and left among the
rigl-tened people. Ii was found neces-
sary TO use violence and knock him
down before he could be secured. An
other mad man caused a panic in a
street car by rushing ia half clad and
with his face seorched and biaekened.
he sank eoweriRg in a corner and was
soon secared. He was more frightened
than those who ran away. The report
that the streets are full of escaped
maniacs causes much alarm in West
Philadelphia, and strangers look upon
each other with much distrast. The
fremen are still working at the ruins.
They are weary and half frozen, each
mans helmet and coat appearing as
hard as armor, but the search for bodies
is continued steadily. There appears
20 have been q great deal of unneoes
sary srouble caused by rotten hose and
scarcity in the water supply.

SPRIsaFIELp (W. Va Feb. I3.-Mary
Cox, while suffering from neuralgia of
the stomach, was given morphine in ex-
cess Of what was prescribed by the at
tending physician, and her death was
announced a few hours after sards.
Two days later the body was buried.
At the funeral ono lady insisted that
Miss Cox was not dead, and begged
that physician be sent for. That
night the dogs Of q man living near the
graveyard stationed themselves near
the tomb, and kept up persistent howl
ing. The next day the grave was open
ed, and to the horror of all II was found
that the girl had been buried alive.
The lining was torn from the sides of
the coffin, and the pillow was Ia shreds.
The poor girl had literally stripped the
clothes from her body. ker arms and
hands were torn and bleeding, her lips
bitten through, and handfuIs Of hair
were torn from her head. The girl had
come TO life, and evidently made a fear
full struggle TO escape. The awful affair
ILLS the community with horror.
