W0MEN's PRISON BURNED.
Two Girls Klnclea Fire That Destroys
an InSiana Institution.

Two Girls Klncle Fire That Destroys
an In6iana Institution.
The Indiana State prison near Indi.
annapolis, for the confinement o. women
convicts and young girl incorrigible who
had committed minor crimes was burned to
the ground the other night. It was one Of
the largest structures Of the kind in the
country, built Of brick and stone, and with
all the latest improvements that prison ex-
perience could suggest. It cost $500, 0JO.
The fire was discovered early in the even
ing in or near the laundry department, and
was the result Of mischief or something
worse by three or four girls. Two of them
had locked two others in a room and left
them there. They out Of spite set fire
going which they could not control, and it
soon became so formidable that they nearly
suffocated and had to cry for help. They
were rescued, but the fire was then under
full headway and could not be controlled.
The prisoners were all driven into the
yard. In, a few moments the officials
Thought the fire was subdued and sent the
women and girls all back again, but in q
half an hour the fire took fresh start and
nll were set free again. The two girls who
had locked the others In escaped to the city
as soon as the alarm was raised.
The prisoners were all brought to the city
an distributed in the rooms In the Court
House and police station. One hundred and
fifty were girls or incorrigibles ranging in
age from twelve to eighteen and the other
fifty. three were all convicts. Several OF
them were life prisoners.
