Described by an Eye-Witness.

New YORK. May S.-The Times dis
patch from Montreal, describing the ter
rible scenes during the burning of the
Tongue Pointe insane asylum, says:
Entering one of the wards, The Times
correspondent was Mortified to find that
he was trampling upon human floor,
where dozens of men were spread out as
if they had fallen from exhaustion.
1t is utterly impossible to describe the
revolving scenes which occurred in the
grounds when, about O'clock, the rain
ceased and sun broke through the clouds,
the flames became additionally vivid,
and in terror some of the inmates got mp
and wandered through the great crowds
of spectators silent, vacant unconscious
that they were without a home; uncon-
scious of the nature of the disaster upon
which they gaZed, without the slightest
appreciation cf its horrors. Adead man
was carried out of the ruins in a coffin,
when sad spectacle ensued. An in
sane woman standing near the coffin
commenced gesticulating in the wild
est manner. laughing and singing,
brandishing a broken crucitix in her
hands.
As the injured were gradually collect
ed, they were taken into buildings i'm
provised for their reception and huddled
together until more substantial relief
could be secured. Here the disorder and
confusion We're heightened by the death
throes of many, the exulting cries of
others, and the deep horror which
seemed 10 permeate tha whole atmos,
phere. Sick and faint the voluntary
watches secured relief by catching few
breaths of the damp air without only TO
be driven back to their duties Of their
self-imposed tasks by the arrival of 9TH
er mangled bodies. Meanwhile the
flames were got a little under control by
the efforts of the tiremen.
One fireman. who had for long time
been trying to beat under the flames TO
get at a man he observed at window,
at length succeeded. and through a
shower of sparks reached him. At first
he seemed passive, but the moment he
was touched ha became the very incar-
nation of the demon of madness. In
vain the heroic fireman tried to persuade

beth, N. j., Destroyed.
ELIZABETH, N. j., May s.--The Singer
sewing machine factory was discovered
to be on fire Tuesday night. The flames
We're first seen ON the third floor,
having broken out in the main office.
The entire fire department responded to
the alarm, but the water from the en-
gines had but little effect.
The fire started in the high clock
tower of the main building few min
utes past II o'clock. The blaze was first
discovered by one of the watchmen, but
he lost his presence of mind, and there
was a good deal Of delay in sending out
an alarm. To add to the excitement and
danger tanks of glycerine and benzine
began to explode, the explosions follow
ing one another rapidly, and throwing
the flames great distance. By 2 o'clock
the main factory had been entirely de-
stroyed, and it was evident that the
other buildings were in great danger
1t is said that the loss by the fire may
reach $3,000,000 The weekly pay roll
Of the works amounted to $4,000.
At o'clock a. m. the fire was under
control and was finally extinguished at
1890 a. m, with the assistance of sew
eral fire tugs along the river front. The
flames were confined to the main build
ing. The needle department, attach
ment department, gear room, pattern
room, stock department, machine in
spection department, together with 5000
completed new machines and $4,000, 900
needles were destroyed.
The company's Office on the ground
floor was saved, as were also the mill
ing, screw and adjusting departments
The departments destroyed, however,
were the most valuable part of the
works, The loss is estimated at 81 ,000,-
600. The company carries its own in
surance, insuring its property by special
fund
The destruction of improved patterns
for making special machines is a very
serious loss to the company, as some of
the patterns cannot be replaced in
months, Contractor of the iapaning de-
partment estimates the loss on patterns
at 81 ,000,0 200.
The department in which the new
shuttle machine was being constructed
was also destroyed with new and costly
machinery.

hands and turned out over 1000 sewing
machines daily when working on full
time

A fat woman, with very red face
got on crowded Broadw way car yester
day, She was SO exceedingly fat that
it was great effort for her to stand at
all, and young man, as thin as SHE
was stout, squeezed up out Of his seat
and, lifting his hat, gracefully invited
her to sit down.
The fat lady looked him over with a
contemptuous CLINT in her eyes, and
then, IN loud aud angry Zone, said:
"Young man, suppose YOU thought
you was awful cunnin' to ask woman
as fat as am to sit in the six inch
space that you have been occupyin'. I'm
fat, bat Pm not foolish and if you
thought YOU would mortify me before
all these people, why yer barkln' up the
wrong saplin', I'll let you know who's
to be mortified
The thin young man blushed CRIMSON
and muttered that he ''meantn no harm, y
''didn notice, etc.
'sOh, you didn't notice, didn't your
Well, this'll teach you to notice next
time and not insult respectable ladi.s
in such a way. I'm fat and I'm not
ashamed of 1t, but il was thin and
scrawny as you are l would go pad my
self from A to lizard"
The young man tried again to say his
intentions were the best, but she cut
him off:
shut up, you wasp waisted cadayer
or Ill pull you in two. Come back here
and sit down again in this crack, you
long-drawnout link between hard
winter and hereaftar--"
She reached for him, but the young
man had wisely fed the car at the last
crossing.
