weather the most remarkable this country
has experienced in many years, and he
cautions the people to be prepared for
surprises. According to his forecast of
the early days of June, the Pacific coast

drouth. while all along the Atlantic sea

rains.
| The department was Gale d out for the
| first time for fire on Andersonville on
Thursday morning. 1t started in closet
in rear bed room at the residence of
Mrs. Charles Berry, from an unknown
cause. When the danger was discovered
Lizzie Berry was lying on her bed asleep,
and before she could escape she suffered
somewhat from the effects of the smoke,
which filed the entire upper portion of the
house. Good judgment was used on the
part of the firemen in not flooding the
| place, as the flames were subdued with a
few buckets of water and the chemical
extinguishers. The contents of closet,
which included Miss Mary Berry's cloth
ing, were all consumed. and other dam
age was done in the room. There was
plenty of help on hand and considera-
Bile quantity of miscellaneous goods was
removed to the yard. Mrs. Berry became
worried over the safety of S., 600 in bonds
but these and her gold watch were found

Mrs. Berry desires to thank the firemer
for their prompt action in saying hel

SIXTEEN DIE BY THE FLAMES
An Insane Asylum CottapA
Burned at Yankton,
WOMEN PATIENTS THE VICTIMS
Ihe thermometer Registered e3 Below
Zero, But Prompt Action Saw.
Others From Freezing.

Yankton, S. D., Feb. 14.-A mo..
horrifJing fire occurred this morning
at Q O'Clock at the state insane asy
lum, when one of the cottages was Com,
pletely gutted and caused the loss ~
the lives of II women inmates.
The cottage had stone and granita
walls with wooden interiors, and in.
tended for laundry purposes. OWN,
to the crowded condition of the main
building, 40 of the female patients were
placed here with the laundry in tbe
basement. The fire originated in the
dlyroom Of the laundry. Here there
was coil of steam pipes, and the
theory is that either fine particles simi.
lar to lint settled on the pipes and 10.
nited, or that clothes which were
thickly hung close by dropped on to
the pipes and were fired.
The fighting OF the fire was greatly
hindered by the loss of power. The
only source OF water was an artesian
well, 400 feet distant, the pipes for
pumping which ran through the cot.
tage. The intense heat soon causel
the pipes to burst, thus leaving the fire.
men without power, and dependent en-.
tirely upon the direct pressure from the
tank. But two streams of water could
be thrown on the building, and these
did but little good.
Fifty-two persons were in the build.
ing, 40 patients and IL attendants.
The structure was three stories and an
attic high, and had two entrances.
There was one stairway from the Sec.
ond and third floors, which led into
the main hall, thus giving but one
egress for those above the first floor.
Patients and attendants fled with ter
ror, great confusion resulting, especially
among those on the upper hoOrs
Many heartrending scenes were enacted
as the inmates, clad only in their night
clothes and barefooted, rushed down
the narrow flight of stairs, and finally
out into the snow. The temperature
was 23 degrees below zero, and furthe1
loss of life from freezing was prevented
alone by prompt work of the attend
ants from the main buildings. The att
tendants escaped, as did the others
who were saved, with none OF theiI
personal effects, many losing all they
possessed. Portions of charred rel
mains can be seen in the debris at tld
bottom of the basement. The fOu
walls of stone still stand, black and
grim, and will make the work of rel
moval dangerous, as total collapse i
liable to occur without moment
warning.
The institution was destroyed by 6Td
in 1882, when six lives were lost. Ths
pecuniary loss at today's fire is SIS OOOI
uninsured.
