This snowfall is generally regarded as

MANIAos ROASTED

Fire of an Insane Asylum.

/ Fire OF an Insane Asylum.
MONTREAL, Can, May THE insane
Hospital at St Jean de Dieu at Lengue
Pointe, seven miles from Montreal, was
totally destroyed by fire yesterday, and
in the flames perished upward of 100 Of
the unfortunate inmates. Just the ex-
act number that have perished in this
terrible holocaust will probably never
be known. We are aware, however,
that all the victims are females, and
three Of the faithful nurses, the Sisters
OF Providence, died with their unfortds
nate charges, these women Of God hay.
Ing laid down their lives, noble sacrifice,
rather than save themselves by desert
/ Ing those they had promised to care for.
No pehspaihting. be 1t ever so vivid,
could photograph the horrible scene
witnessed during the terrible AFTERNOONS
Strong men ran from post to pillar,
wringing their hands In the anguish of
T.se pair. Tears were starting from the
eyes Of the bravest at the pitiful scenes
to be witnessed in the vicinity OF the
fatal building. Towering high in the
air to the full extent of It's six stories,
high above tho roar OF the flames,
clinging madly to the red-hot wires
Of their prison, were these crazed hn.
fortunates, screaming hadly in their
wild terror for that aid the thousand on
lockers were powerless to give. Room
after room, ward after ward, in tho
wing of the building furtherest situated
from the original scene of the first out
rush, were emptied Of their inmates.
Gray-haircd danes, middle-aged women
and golden-haired children ran across
the well-kept lawns and fled to
the neighboring woods. And just
now occurred one of those horrible
incidents which shall mark this calam-
ity without parallel in the history OF
Canadian calamities. AS these unfor-
tunate women fed from the all-devour-
ing fire they were followed by brutes in
human form, and these old trees that
have for years bordered the asylum
grounds were mute witnesses of the
scenes that the pen must fail to de-
scribe. Flying from the pangs of a hor-
rible death, they fellvctims to scarce.
ly less horrible fate, and the roar
ing flames of tho destroyed home
from which they fled sang the dirgo
Of their sad doom. The fire started
in cupboard on the sixth floor, and
spread with lightning-like rapidity.
There were incarceratcd in Tongue
Pointe 1900 lunatics, for that asylum
was a prison more than a hospital, and
now not more than 1,100 are accounted
for, but many escaped into the fields and
woods, and the dead are ashes among
ashes. What the number OF the dead is,
is purely matter of conjecture and can
never be ascertained, since no other rec
ord is kept than that in the Asylum
book, and it is also destroyed.
