Father and Son Missing After the Destruc-
ton of Their Home.
HAvERHnL, MASS, Jan. 31.-The dwelling
house Of James Addison at West Newbury was
burned early this morning Mr.. Addison, aged
forty, and William, aged sixteen, probably
persisted in the flames. Addison's wife
died two years ago. Since her decease
he has lived alone, his son being with him part
of the time. There is a possibility that the son
was not at home. but the probabilities are that
| he was. The house was in sparsely settled
locality with only few neighbors near. How
the fire originated no one knows, as when first
| seen by neighbor the house was all in flames.
FIRE AT AN INSANE ASYLUM.
! CHICAGO, Jan. 31.-Fi-e broke out in the en-
| CINE room of the insane asylum at Dunning,
| about twelve miles from this city, at $50
| o'clock. There are 600 insane patients
in the institution. Every available
| man at both the insane asylum
| and the poor house near by was ordered out to
| help combat the flames. Fire companies were
| sent from this city and neighboring suburbs,
| but they were unable TO accomplish much,
owing to the fact that there little or no
| water available for fighting the fire.
The wind blew directly away from the main
building and saved that part OF the institution
| from destruction. but the engine room con-
tanning the boilers and dynamos used for heat
| ing and lighting the institution was completely
! destroyed. The greatest damage caused by
| the fire is the crippled condition in which the
institution is left.
A number of small buildings clustered about
| the main buildings. including the amusement
hall and the administration building, will be
without heat for week at least. Light can be
supplied by lamps and water can be hauled to
the buildings by wagon, but there is no positive
| way Of heating them at present. The best of
aipfai fha pul "
| a few of them who were confined in the wards
| overlooking the engine house knowing that a
| fire was in progress.
