Greater Portion Of the Hospital at
Anna, Ills, Deyoured by
Flames.
THE INMATES RESCUED.
Five Hundred Gibbering Lunaties Re-
strained With Great Difficulty.
None Escaped.

ANNA, Ills, Jan. 5.--Fire broke ont
Mt o'clock O. m. in the roof of the CEN
ter building Of the group of three great
buildings of the insane asylum in this
city and spread with great rapidity.
The building contained nearly 900
patients. all Of whom are thought TO
have been rescued with one exception,
that Of lady, who ID supposed to have
perished in the flames. She was OBJ
served 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
transferring the patients to other quar-
ters.
1t is now thought that none of those
confined in the asylum are at large,
though desperate attempts at escape
were made during the progress Of the
fire, and it was with great difficulty
that the poor ere atures were confined
to their quarters They were crowded
into q new building already nearly full.
They will be taken care OF In the best
possible manner under the circum-
stances. The loss will exceed $500, 900.
The center buildings and south wing
are completely destroyed.
Terrible Confasion Prevailed
during the fire, and IL is miraculous
that many lives were not lost. All the
old buildings that escaped fire few
years ago were entirely destroyed. The
north wing is all that remains stand
ing. In this the patients are huddled
ont Of the prevailing severe weather.
The fire was under complete subsection
before daylight. The flames were first
discovered near the roof Of the main
building and cannot be accounted for.
The asylum, has its own water works
but for some reason the system was in
efficient in lighting the fire. The plugs
seemed to have been frozens
AT 4 q. IN. the north wing was in
great danger. In this building were
huddled the 500 gibbering lunatics. who
were, with great difficulty, restrained
from breaking ont. The main building
and the south wing were mass OF
smouldering ruins, but the heat from
the debris was so intense that it could
not be approached.
It is supposed that all the unfortu-
nate people were removed in safety. In
the excitement attending the transfer
of the more violent maniacs, number
were badly bruised by stumbling down
stairs, their keepers being unable to
maintain even u semblance of order
among them. None escaped, however.
the keepers being reinforced by volnn-
teers, special officers from tho city.

FOUND UNCONSCIOU
Mrs Pagenhoff May Have Tried to Commit
Suicide.
Escaping Gas and Probable Opiate-
Taken to Garfield Hospital and
Recovery Probable.

Mrs. Olivia Pagenhoff. a white woman
Of the hest antecedents and about thirty
five years of age, was found shortly be-
fore noon today in her room at 2OO1 I
street. suffering from the effects of an
overdose of a drug which is thought to
have been some form Of chloral All the
circumstances in the case seem to point
to an attempt at suicide. but the woman's
condition was discovered in time to bring
her back to consciousness and later in the
day she was sent to hospital. where she
will be cared for until she has complete
ly recovered.
Mrs. Pagenhoff Is widow her husband
having expired very suddenly in her pres
ence couple of years ago. AS result
OF the shock she suffered a nervous break
down. and since then has made free use
Of bromides and sedatives of one Sort and
another. For several months past she
has been running boarding house at the
place where the incident occurred but 1t
is supposed that she fell behind in her
rent. At any rate she had given up the
mouse and was expected to leave for Ohio
this evening"
The house is being newly papered and
painted throughout. and workmen were
there this morning. the house being nat
urally in state Of confusion. Mrs. Pagen-
hon occupied her own room in the third
story last night The first heard from her
she directed a servant to prepare her some
coffee. Some time later. when the servant
took the coffee to her room, there was no
response to the knock. and on entering the
room Mrs. Pagenhof was discovered to be
in the bed In profound stupor.
"A physician was summoned at once, and
his efforts to revive her were quickly sue
cessful. When he entered there was a
strong smell Of escaping gas in the room,
but an attempt was made to explain this by
saying that there was a leak in the gas
fixture. The only way of accounting for
her action is that she took the drug while
in fit of dependency.
The people at the house were very reti-
cent about the occurrence afterward, even
refusing to give the name of the unfortu-
nate woman. They denied that she had at
tempted to commit suicide, and an elderly
woman, who was experimenting the clean
ing of the house. and who said she had
known Mrs. Pagenhof for a long time
stated to the reporters that Mrs. Pagenhoff
was victim to the use of opiates, and was
simply discovered sleeping off the effects
of an overdose, just as one might do after
imbibing too much liquor. She said that If
the woman had been left alone she would
have pulled through all right Just the same,
and would have laughed at the idea that
she had tried to put an end to her exist
ence.

His Maryland Campaign Looking
to Next Years Presidential Race.
WHAT THE CONVENTION WILL DO
Tact and Diplomacy Instead o.
Aggressive Action.
TO INDoRsE THE PRESIDENT

Mr.. Corr ans program in Maryland as
outlined from Baltimore Is thought to be
arranged with due regard to next year s
presidential race. Moderation and diplo-
macy are its leading features. The Senator
will not use his giants strength In his
party like giant. but will move with due
regard to the feelings of all factions, and,
if possible, poll the party's full vote next
November. Then, pointing to this latest
triumph achieved under his leadership, his
friends will put him forward as the candi-
date Of the Maryland democracy for the
party's nomination for President.
The silver Question.
The first point noted relates to the silver
question. The state convention next week,
1t Is asserted, will dispose of that question
by reaffirming the financial plank Of the
Chicago platform of 1892. A much more
explicit deliverance could be secured. There
is no likeness between the democratic Sit
uation in Maryland and that in Kentucky
Mr.. German has no aggressive silver fac
ton to deal with. The Maryland democ-
racy is almost unanimously in favor Of
sound money, and, II the Sena tor desired 1t.
would, 1t Is believed, go aggressively on the
record next Wednesday,. But the Senator.
1t would appear, does not desire 1t, and the
reason is thought to be that he is consider
ing the effect outside Of the state on his
own fortunes AS the leader of the state
democracy ne does not thls year need an
aggressive oehverance on the finances AS
the possible leader OF the national democ-
Iacy next year sucn a deliverance might
injure him. Here the democracy of the

every settler is equipped with 1000 rounds
of ammunition. The reason that there has
not been more determined retaliation before
this on the part Of the Indians is because
they cannot prepare for war 30 quickly.
Indians Are Poor.
In the first place, they are from $50 to 200
miles from home, and cannot SO easily Sc
cure the necessary supply Of ammunition: !:
first, because it will not be sold to them in
large quantities just now. and. again, be-
cause at this season Of the year, after the
money for their last years skins has been
used up, they are poorer than at any other
time. The Indians have. however, the best
of rifles, furnished by the government, and
1t has always been the case in an Indian
uprising that they manage to dig up money
somewhere and get ammunition. The In
dians get no sympathy here in the present
trouble, unless 1t be from those who are d.
rectly connected with the Indian agency in
some way. The fear is now expressed that
when the Indians learn that the troops are
surely coming they may endeavor to make
a sudden strike, and then make all possible
haste for their reservations SO that by the
time the regulars get here they will be
peaceably lounging. in their accustomed
haunts. Rumors have been received that
trouble may be looked for today or tomor-
row, but as that country is distant
twenty -four-hour ride for the swiftest In
dian messenger, no facts have yet been Sc
cured

The Last Point Settled.

Secretary Herbert has settled the last
point that remained to be adjusted in the
designs for the two battleships, by order
ing that the extra 100 tons required for the
machinery of the ships be provided for by
reducing the coal capacity from 1900 to
200 tons. The outline designs for the
ships having now been arranged the diff
ferent bureaus of the Navy Department
will Immediately begin the preparation of
the full specifications upon which bids are
to be invited for the construction of the
vessels. 1t Is probable that the advertise
ments will not issue before the 1st of Janu-
ary next, but this will not delay the con-
struction of the ships, owing to the fact
that Congress has as yet not made any
appropriation for them.
