FIRE IN A HOSPITAL.
Ten Persons Killed and Thirty Injured in a
Chicago Blaze.

Chicago, June 11.-Nine men and
persons injured in a fire which yester-
day afternoon destroyed the sanitar'
ium connected with St. Luke's Socie,
| ty, at Wabash avenue and Twenty
first street. The greater portion of
the patients received in the institu-
tion were those seeking cure from the
drink habit and those who were ad-
dicted to the use of drugs.
When the fire broke out there was
on the fifth floor number of patients
suffering from delirium tremens and
some who were deranged by drugs.
Some of these were strapped to their
beds and it was impossible to save
them, so rapidly did the fire spread
through the building.
The fire originated in the basement
of the building and spread rapidly to
the upper stories through the elevat-
or shaft. Before the occupants of the
building could be warned. the flames
had been carried to the roof had eat
en- through it and were leaping high
in the air. AS the fire ran through
the building patients sprang from
their beds and before they could be
prevented several had jumped from
the windows to the pavement The
fire department was on the scene in
a few minutes and as the windows
were filled with people shrieking for
help. the flremen devoted their first
efforts to save lives and allowed the
fire to burn. While this was the
means of saving a large number of
people, who were carried down lad
ders by the fremen. it gave the fire
such headway that there was almost
no chance for those on the upper floors
of the building to make their escape.
and those who were not suffocated
were killed or badly injured by leap.
