THE ASYLUM

Terrible Work Of Fire at Yank-
ton, S. D.

And the Patients and Attendants
Rushed Out of the Building
With Nothing Upon Them
NO WATER COULD BE HAD

Yankton. S. D., Feb. IA most hor-
rifying fire occurred this morning at 2
O'Clock at the state insane asylum, when
one of the cottages was completely Quilted
and caused the loss of lives Of II inmates.

The cottage was erected of stone and
granite walls with wooden interiors AMI
intended for laundry purposes. Owing
to the crowded condition of the main
building 40 of the female patients were
placed here with the laundry in the
basement. The fire originated in the
dry room of the laundry. Here there
was a coil of steam pipes and the theory
is that either fire particles similar to lint
settled on the pipes and ignited or that
clothes which were thickly hung close by
dropped onto the pipes and were fired.
The fighting of the fire was greatly
hindered by the loss of power. The only
source of water was IN artesian we'll 400
feet distant, the pipes for pumping which
ran through the cottage. The intense
heat soon caused these pipes to burst,
thus leaving the firemen without power

of water could be thrown on the building

Fifty-tWO persons were in the build,

structure was three stories and an at,
tic high and had two entrances. There
was one stairway from the second anC
third floors which led into the main halls
thus giving but one egress for those above
the first floor. Patients and attendants
fled with terror, great confusion result

floors.

MEMBERS GET ACQUAINTED.
New Deaf, Dumb and Blind Board
Holds a Short Session.

OAKLAND, Sept. 1.-THE new board
of directors of the Institution for the
Deaf. Dumb and the Blind at Berkeley
held a brief session tonight, President
George w Reed, Brewton A. Hayne and
John H Grindley being present, Henry
Pierce and William S. Wells absent. No
changes were made and there was but
one application for position, that of M.
K. Houghton of S33 lay street, Oakland,
for appointment as watchman.
The meeting appeared to be more for
the purpose of giving the new members
of the board an opportunity of familiariz-
ing themselves with the business methods
employed in the management of the in
stitution, and this feature was compre-
hensively explained by the superin-
tendent, Warning Wilkinson.
The institution now receives monthly
appropriation from the State of S4970 So
and its payroll aggregates $3l00 monthly
for both administrative and educational
departments. Its only other source of
revenue is $500 annual tuition received
from each of those pupils outside the
State, there being at present, among the
2l0 enrolled, seven from Nevada and three
from Arizona Superintendent Wilkinson
explained also that the letting of con-
tracts for supplies every three months
instead of yearly has proved most ad-
vantageous.
Formerly the institution did nearly all
of it's printing but the last Legislature
nrovided that all printing must be per-
formed at the State Printing Office, so
tbat at present only the California News
the ASYLUM paper, is printed at home.

were some words between the two. and
Frencny pulled his knife and commenced
stabbing the boy. When the little fellow
fell Frenchy picked up coupling-ptn and
without saving a word, crushed the boy s

OAKLAND, Sept. 1L-Laurence Souya,
a boy years old, was cut in halves by a
freight train this evening. Death was
instantaneous The lad was crossing the
track at First and Chester streets. which

track on which the Alameda local was

a track on which freight was backing.
The brakeman on the freight train sig
nailed to the engineer to stop instantly.
He obeyed the signal but not before one
pair of trucks had passed over young
Souya. Another lad was playing with
Souya. and when he saw the freight, he
of the track and escaped with slight
wound on the neck.
