IN A FIRE TRAP.
Many People Perished in an Tne-
briate Asylum in Chicago.
Were on Firth FIRnr whence Escape was
Most Difficult ard R1any Were Strapped
to Beds on Account of Their
RaVInRa.

Chicago, June 1O.-Nine men and
one woman were killed and about
80 persons were injured in a fire
which yesterday afternoon destroyed
the sanftariuIn conducted by the st.
Luke's society at Wabash avenue
and Twentyfrst street. The society
occupied the building which was
long known as the Hotel Woodruff
and for brief period as the Hotel
Lancaster. BY far the greater por-
ton of the patients received in the
institution were those seeking cure
from the drink habit and those who
were addicted to the use of drugs.
When the fire broke out there were
oil the fifth floor u number of pa
tients suffering from deIirium
tremens and some who were de-
ranged by drugs. Several of these
were strapped to their beds and it
was found it was impossible to save
them, so rapidly did the fire spread
through the building. The fire orig
mated in the basement of the
building and spread rapidly to the
upper stories through the elevator
shaft.
The fire department was on the
scene within a few minutes and as
the windows were filed with people
siFieking for help the firemen de-
voted their first efforts to save the
lives and allowed the fire to burn.
While this was the means of saving
q large number of people, WIN were
carried down ladders by the firemen,
it gave the fire such Roadway that
there was almost no chance for
those on the upper floors of the
building to make their escape, and
such of them as were not suffocated
were killed or badly injured by leap.

practicability of constructing a ca
