them they could obtain board at No. 61

believed, were rescued alive.
During the progress of the fire it
was reported that. several women were
seen at the windows after the patients
had torn every vestge of clothing from
their bodies. and were laughing in
hideous glee at the approach of the flames.
When last seen they were standing in the
midst of sheets OF ire. gesticulating
wildly with their long hair fly
ing about their faces. By 1880 O'Clock the
entire north wingwas wrapped IN flames.
The attendants had done all that was in
their power, and nothing was left but to
try to save the rest of the sylum from the
flames.

of them were induced to retire to shelter,
but the great majority huddled together IN
the cold piercing wind. and observed with

Upon the first discovery of the fire the
Pontiac department was notified. The single
steamer in the place made the run of three
miles at a break-neck gait. When the first
stream was turned ON the flames the
north wing was already doomed. and
every energy was bent 10 stopping the
fire at the center. A few minutes later
citizens of Pontiac began to arrive and
soon an army OF several hundred men was
at work. With this -dded assistance the
unfortunate creatures were forced TO retire
from the scene. Those who had run away
into the woods were brought back and
placed in the cottages. There were plenty of
willing hands. and the crazy females were
soon made as comfortable as possible.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 3O.-Chief
Justice Fuller peremptorily dismissed the
Graham habaes corpus proceeding
in the United States supreme court
last evening, deciding that the court
had no jurisdiction in the case. At
torney Cole, of Ashland, claimed that
the sentence of thirteen years was ex-
cessive. Graham and pal named Sam
Mcdonald were sent up from Ashland
county by Judge Parish for robbery and
brutal assault upon Alfred Mcdonald, a
Pence saloon keeper. After breaking jail
and escaping to Spokane Falls, the twain
were recaptured by Sheriff Breen, convicted
and sentenced under a late amendment to
the robbery statute, which hitherto pro-
vided a maximum sentence of but ten
yeras. The brief for the state was written
by Attorney General O'Connor.
