London, Jan. 29.-Fifty-one women
are known to be dead as the result
OF fire which partially destroyed
the state insane asylum at Colney
Hatch, North London, at $50 o'clock
in the morning.
The fire, which was one Of the
most sensational seen here in years,
started in the Jewish wing of the
building, which has 600 inmates. The
building is located on an eminence
and the steep approach made it diff.
ficult for the fire department to reach
the scene.
The fire had big Roadway when
the fireMen arrived and pandemonium
reigned. The lunatics who had been
awakened from their sleep by cries
of fire, the cracking Of the flames
and the fast gathering clouds OF
smoke were like a herd of wild
beasts. They broke away from the
attendants and raced up and dow,
the corridors, shrieking at the top
Of their voices.
A number of the patients escaped
from the building and are still at
large.
The firemen devoted their entire
attention to the main building, leav.
ing the wing, which was hopelessly
at the mercy of the flames. to be
destroyed. At o'clock the fire was
under control.
At first 1t was believed that all
Of the inmates had been taken out
or had escaped In the confusion, but
after the fire was under control and
further investigation was made sew
eral bodies were discovered in the
smoldering debris, disfgured beyond
possible recognition or Identification

All Of the inmates Of the building
were women.
The report of the fire spread rapid

There were no fire escapes, no water

FATAL COAL MINE DISASTER
NEAR TERRE HAUTE, INDIANA
TWO ARE DEAD.
Fourteen Others Are Imprisoned Far
Below the Surface-Fire Started
From a Stove-Cable Cage useless
Sad News Spread Rapidly-lm-
possible to Estimate Loss OF Lives.

Terre Haute, Ind, Jan. 27.-As the
result of fire started from stove
at the Tepple coal mine, about two
miles west of here, two men are dead
and IA others are imprisoned far be-
low the surface.
the flames spread SO rapidly that the
cable cage was rendered useless. The
bodies OF the three men who were
suffocated were brought to the sur
face, but the party of rescuers were
prevented by the flames from reach
ing the imprisoned miners.
The news of the fire spread rapidly
and relatives and friends of the men
who are imprisoned soon crowded
about the mine.
The officers of the company are on
the ground and with the assistance
Of many willing hands are doing
everything possible to save the men
who are below.
The scenes about the mine are
heartrending. Weeping mothers
wives and children crowd in and out
among the sturdy moners, begging
for some word of comfort or hope
but their faces picture their hope
lessness as they turn from one to the
other, as it is impossible for anyone
TO say what the chances are or what
condition the men are in who are
confined in the various drifts in thu
body of the mine.
1t is impossible, also, to estimate
the number of dead, as several may
die before the rescuers are able t,
reach them.
