ANOTHER TELEGRAM.
NASHVILLE, Mar. 14.-The beau.
tiful insane asylum, seven miles
from this city, is almost mass Of
ruins. Beneath it are the charred
bodies of half q dozen unfortunate
inmates. In an out house are hud-
died the poor demented creatures
who were formerly inmates. The
fire was discovered at 1915 last night.
1t started from unknown causes In
the west main wing. In moment
an alarm was given, and four hun
dred inmates thrown into wild con-
fusion. There were twenty-eight
men in the ward where the fire
caught; twenty-five were quickly
removed to the main hall, the other
six being left TO their fate behind
i'm passable walls of flames. AT $40
the inmates who had been huddled
several hours in the yard were re
turned to the east wing; about twen-
ty-five escaped. the majority of
whom are harmless. At this mo-
ment the west wing is entirely de-
molished and about One-half of the
main building. The dangerous
lunatics are kept locked In the east
wing. At l 80 the fire is under con-
troll. 1t is impossible to estimate the
loss. 1t was fully insured.

IMMIGRANTS ARRIVING.
PORTLAND, March 14.-Over 500
immigrants arrived in this city yes
terday. They came in the after
noon on the Union Pacific, filling
the cars in which they had Travelled
from Kansas, Dakota, Iowa and
Nebraska. One-third of all the inn
migrants of yesterdays party came
from Nebraska, and it is safe to
calculate that two-thirds of the en-
tire crowd will settle In Oregon,
while the majority of the other
third will go to Washington.
Since the 1st of the month the
average number of immigrant ar
rivals has been over 100 per day,
and the tide is rapidly increasing
