IDIOTS ROASTED.
Another Asylum Horror Occurring in New York.
The Chenango Poor House Burns
and Ten Inmates
Perish

UTICA, y. Y, May S.-Thc Chcnahgo
county poor house and insane asylum
at Preston. six miles west of here. was
entirely consumed last night. The fire
was discovered about II o'clock in the
north wing Of the poor house building,
where the idiots were kept. There were
no provisions for eXunguiShing the
flames. The keepers and ncighbOrS
gave their attention to getting out the
l25 pauperS and insane, and let the
building burn. These were all rescued.
but eleven idiots are missing. Six bodies
can be seen slowly burning. The other
five are supposed 10 have been
covered up. The poor house build
ing was three stories high, and
built of wood The insane asylum was
also wooden building two stories high
and only separated from the poor house
by "a driveway The property was cS-
ltimated worth $4,000, aud is insured
for $50. 600. The UniversaliSt and Bap-
tiSt churches have been opened for the
reception OF the unfOrtunatcS. NeStcr-
dav afternoon a woman was in the idiot
department smoking. She put her pipe
/ i'm her pocket and was soon cnvclOped
in flames and later died front the effect
/ of the burns. II is supposed that some
of the idiots got hold Of some matches
and i'm playing with them set fire to the
/ building.
THE ASYLUM CROWDED.
/ All the departments i'm the institution
were crowded, and it can well be i'm
agined that the rescue OF the poor crca-
lures. many Of them old and very feeble.
and others of them wild with fear and
terror. which added TO their insane de
| mSionS. was by no means an easy task.
The keepers and citizens worked as best
| they could 10 carry. drive, drag and
push the inmates out. but the flames
spread so rapidly there was little time,
and the great wonder is that SO many
were rescued. There was little system
I i'm the conduct of the effort TO save.
| People went at it hap hazard, appalled,
bv the awfulneSS of the cries and moanS
OF the inmates, and the magnitude Of
the catastrophe. Sheriff Kinney has
sworn in a large number of deputies and
| is searching for missing paupcrS. The
number OF dead may possibly reach
/ thirteen. but from the state OF the ruins
| it is impossible to state exactly. The
most careful count of the Superinten-
nent does not show that more than thir-
/ teen were burned.
TEN IDIOTS PERlSllED.
Ii is certain tonight that no more
than ten periShed in the fire. They
were all inmates of the idiot ward, and
were roasted aiivc in their cells. The
fire started in this portion of the main
building. and as the inmates were
asleep and no sounds were heard
/ IL is probable that the smoke and gases
smothcred them before they felt the
pain of the fire. The Board of super
visorS is in special session tonight at
Norwich to take measures for prompt
relief. The coroner will hold an mqucst t
/ into the disaster.
