MANAGES PERIL.
Burning Of a Large Hospital
for the insane.
Nearly Six Hundred Patients in a
Fearful Position for Several Hours.
One Woman Perished I'm the Flames.
Desperate Attempts to Escape.

ANNA, H., Jan. A. The center building
and south wing of the Southern Ilinois
Hospital for the Insane has been burning
since IL 80 o'clock last night. The build
ing contained nearly 600 patients, nearly
all OF whom, it is thought, were gotten
out safely, with one exception, that of a
lady, who is supposed to have perished in
the flames.
She was observed on the fourth floor Of
the center building, dressed only in her
night clothes.
None of the attendants or patients had
time to secure their clothing, and the
snow worked great hardship in trans
ferring the patients to other quarters. 1t
is now thought none of those confined in
the asylum is at large. Eight desperate
attempts to escape were made during
the progress of the fire and it was
with great difficulty that the poor Great
ures were confined to their quarters.
They were crowded into new building
already nearly full. The patients will be
taken care OF in the best possible manner
under the circumstances.
The loss will exceed 100000. The fire
department from Cairo is here and think
they have fire under control. The center
building and south wing are completely
destroyed.
