The cry of fire was sounded through,
the building. Patients sprang from
their beds, and before they could be
restrained, jumped from the win
dows. Some were shackled to their
beds and left to suffocate. Attend
ants helped their patients until forced
to abandon them.
Helpless Patients.
The violent wards were arranged on
the top story in the rear of the build
ing. In these the worst cases han
died by the institution were treated.
Men who were victims of the most Sc
rious disorders from the drink and
drug habit were here quartered.
Many were little short of maniacs,
others were lying in the throes of de-
echoed through the halls. These men
were most effected by the peril threat
ening them. Some dropped to their
knees, praying that they might be
saved. Shrieks, exhortations and
curses rang through the wards. The
rafting of chains and bars added ter
TOR to the scene.
The Burned Building.
The burned building originally cost
100000. It was erected nearly 80
years ago, being one of the oldest in
the vicinity. Samuel X. Markham, 134
Monroe street, who is attorney for the
society, said: u. A. Brophy, of 70
Dearborn street, holds mortgage on
the building of 900 and $1,000 on the
personal effects. The building was in
sured for $4,000, and contents for 49,
900. Think $25, 900 will cover the entire
loss.''
The society had but recently moved
into the building, formerly the Hotel
Woodruff, 21O5 Wabash avenue. It was
being operated as hospital, according
to the definition of the city ordinances,
but without a license. That the fire
could spread with such velocity as to
make it impossible for the attendants
to reach the patients confined on the
prison floor is sufficient to show that
the structure was not arranged prop
erly for hospital.
