AN ASYLUM HOLOCAUST
The Tennessee Home for the Insane
Rurned-Six Inmates Cremated.

The Tennessee Home for the Insane
Burned-six Inmates Cremated.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 14.-The
beautiful Central insane asylum, seven
miles from the city, is almost mass OF
ruins. Beneath it are the charred bod
aes of half dozen unfortunate inmates.
In the outhouses are huddled poor, de-
mented creatures, formerly inmates.
Fire was discovered at 10 ;15 last night,
started from an unknown cause, In the
western main wing. When first seen,
it reached from the ground through the
second and third stories, and cut off the
few rooms behind it. In a moment the
alarm was given. The 400 inmates
were thrown into a wild commotion.
There were twenty-eight men in the
wing where the fire caught. Twenty
two were quickly removed to the main
hall, the other six being left to their
fate behind an impossible wall of flames.
The city was telegraphed to for aid,
but Chief Carroll of the fire department
could not be found, and his subordinates
refused to move without orders. Final
ly, after two hours delay, the chief was
found, and he, with two engines, left for
the scene of disaster.
In the meantime the west wing col
lapsed and the main building was on
fire. The inmates, made frantic, were
beginning to break from the guard and
scatter like frightened animals over the
surrounding country.
The fire engines arrived at 2:15 and
began work. Previously the inmates,
servants and guards had rendered good
service with buckets, land had succeeded
in holding the fire in check to some ex-
tent.
Those burned to death were: j. S.
Jones, j. Burt Dexter, Blue Preston,
John Kelly, w. III. Beasty, B. F. Hol-
lowell.
At315 the inmates, who had been
huddled several hours in the yard, were
returned to the east wing. About twenty
FIVE escaped, the majority of whom are
harmless. At this moment, the west
wing was entirely demolished, and
about half of the main building. The
dangerous lunatics are kept locked in
the east wing.
At 3 80 the fire was under control. 1t
is impossible to estimate the loss, but
the building was fully insured.

ALMOST LIKE HEAVEN.
A Tourists Opinion Who Has Spent
Three Seasons Here.

"This ia my third winter in Southern
California, and have come to stay this
time" remarked Mr.. III. ]. Fouts. late
OF Lansing, Michigan, to a HERALD'rep-
resentative yesterday.
"You have had enough OF the east,
then ?" was the reply.
eyes, think have. The first year
we came out here neither nor my wife
were pleased at all. 1t was not just
what we had expected, and told her
that Michigan was good enough Tor us
hereafter. We went home in April,
1889, and the contrast in the climate
was 80 sharp, even at that late date, that
we soon wished we were back in Los
Angeles. We did not return here until
December, 26, 1890, and by that time
our confidence in the east as a place to
live was considerably shaken. First it
was rain of two or three weeks dura-
ton, then there was a snow, then big
freeze and thaw came along. 1t was
raining here the winter of 1890-91, but,
after our experience back home, we did
not complain much. 1t was August
when we went back to Michigan last
year, as wished to stay and test your
summers. | never was more surprised.
Your summer climate surpasses that Of
winter, and it was cool and delightful
the whole time. Scarcely an urpleas-
ant day narred our stay from the mid
die of April to the first of August.
When we got home once more and ex-
perienced the Michigan climate for a
few weeks, said to my wife, Dear, we
ought to be sent to lunatic asylum if
we endure this wretched climate any
longer. It is something like going to
heaven for six months or more and then
being forced to return to earth again.
Let us get back to Los Angeles and stay
there She quite agreed with me, and
| we got back three weeks ago. have
bought house and lot, and this is my
home hereafter.
"Do think Los Angeles is going to
grow? Well, should say / did. Thous-
ands of people will soon realize, as do,
that this is one of the few spots on
earth where an ideal home can be
made. The time will come when a
homestead in Los Angeles will almost
be worth its weight in gold. ! may be
enthusiastic, but do not believe that
when people learn that they can escape
from a place where they are alternately
frozen and roasted to country almost
as beautiful as the New Jerusalem, they
will fail to avail themselves OF the OPP
portunity."

SYRACUSE, N. Y. March 14.-Syracuse
vas visited by tremendous confiagra-
tion today. The first show OF fire was
at 6 80 am, and in less than half an
hour the Hogan block was destroyed,
while the fire was spreading in all direc-
tions. Fire Chief Riley quickly saw
that the threatened destruction was too
great for his apparatus to fight. He
wired to Utica, Rome and Oswego to
send relief, and he had hardly done so
when the danger was suddenly doubled.
Fire and smoke burst without warning
from the top OF Roscoe Bros five-story
block in East Washington street, four
blocks away. A flying brand from West
Fayette street had caused this, and be-
fore the already overworked fremen
could send relief, the flames were be-
yond control. The crowds of people
running to West Fayette street were
appalled, to see the fire rapidly spread
ing in the Roscoe building. with only
single stream playing upon it.
At $3.50 a fierce conhagration was
raging in the upper floors of the Yates
block, and was rapidly making its way
around the Montgomery street corner.
The buildings soon collapsed, and man
who had been seen trying to save furni-
ture undoubtedly perished. From the
Vanderbilt house and old Ann and new
Montgomery flats people rushed in all
stages of dress. Bedding, furniture and
cooking utensils were hustled out of
rooms, only to be entangled in the
meshes of wires. Cartmen drove through
the crowds recklessly. in order to get
the goods from the buildings.
About 8 O'Clock Oswego relief came by
special train, having made the run
from Lamson's, nineteen miles away, In
seventeen minutes. Half an hour later
a Utica engine with hose cart and
company of fremen came in and began
playing on the Washington-street fire.
The flames, urged on by gale, were
checked by the fremen, and two loco
motive fire engines were sent to the
Vanderbilt house corner. They saved
the hotel.
At noon the fires were under control.
The aggregate of losses is estimated at
1000, 900, with insurance at least two
thirds.
The Journal proprietors opened an
office in Warren street, and printed their
paper in the Courier office this after
noon.
Among the losses are the 7. P. Hogan
block; Hier & Lighton, cigars: M. P
Walsh, hardware; the Syracuse Furnace
company; Chryst& Sehl; Justin Fubert
cigars; John III. Link, liquor; United
States hotel: the Van Rensaeller block
the Center house; Fay block; Syracuse
Supply company.
The heaviest loss was on the Mont
gomery flats, aggregating $500, 900. The
tenants loss $50, 900 more. The Journal
company lost $4,000.

Desperate Encounter Between q white
Man and Two Negroes.
AUGUSTA, Ca, March 14.--Three men
lost their lives in bloody quarrel, near
Maxey, last evening, and white wo-
man, trying to save her husbands life,
had a narrow escape. Harvey Smith, a
young planter, living near Maxeyv was
married only few months ago. He
had among his employees a negro
named Boyd Hatton, whom he had to
discharge. While Hatton was preparing
to leave last night, Smith went down
to his cabin to settle with him. Hatton
met his approach with discharge from
shotgun. Smith drew his revolver
and fired, striking Hatton in the shout
der. Bill Hatton appeared to aid his
brother. The next shot from Smiths
revolver struck Bill in the heart, and
the next after that struck Boyd Hatton
in the abdomen. Smith fell in swoon
from his wounds. Boyd Hatton ran up
and securing Smiths revolver shot him,
and was about to fire again when his
arm was held back by the young bride.
The desperate negro soon died from his
wounds

ment at Fort Sheridan, and other Indi-
ans, to Europe with his Wild West

Coming Events at the Local Thea

At the Los Angeles Divide Musin opens
ON Tuesday night. Musin is the great
est living violinist of the Romantic and
French school playing today, and gives
most wonderful performance. His
playing alone on the G string is we'll
worth the price of admission to any in
telligent man or woman. He, with his
company, gives two and one-half hour
programme, and up to the present time
this season not single person has been
known to leave the hall during the con-
cert.
At the Grand the Two Sisters will be
presented the latter part of the week.
The plot of the play is as simple as
that of the Old Homestead, but amply
equal to the task of upholding weighty
popular favor. The success OF a play Of
this kind does not depend upon it's dra-
matte surprises, it's metaphysical studies
or even the rhetorical flights of its char
acters. 1t obtains it's need of warm rec
Ognition from its intense human inter-
est. The people in front of the curtain
know that dramas of the same type are
being enacted hourly in and around
them. 1t may be that they have par
ticipated in such themselves. The
throb of the pulse of the piece can be
felt beating against the swelling Of their
own hearts. The touches Of nature
throughout make the whole body OF
spectators akin with it's healthy motif.
1t seems like the story of some near and
dear neighbor, and therefore obtains the
affectionate interest of an audience.
This arises from the warm humanity of
the piece, and SO the play goes on, tax
ing with it the attention, the love and
the enthusiasm OF the spectators 1.-THE

whom he brought letters from New
