ably stated that Il number of patients at

damage was done TO the building. Reports
from the pcnitentiary say six convicts
were badly injured by falling timbers, two
of whom will die The loss TO property
alone, it is at this hour estimated, will
amount TO at least $l,000,00O Almost
every building situated in the district was
more or less damaged ty the wind and
water. The damage To the insane asylum
will reach 1926, 200, that at the pcnitentiary
$1,000, and the Capitol ana Richelieu
hotels were badly damaged. Every win.
dow in both buildings was either broken
to pieces or cracked.
