lum was besieged by anxious rela-
tives and friends of the patients who
arrived from all quarters. Pitiable
scenes were witnessed as weeping
men and women left the premises
after ascertaining that relatives and
friends had persisted in the flames.
The nurses had terrible eXpe-
rience in trying to assist the insane
people who were so panic-stricken
that they had literally to be driven
to Il place of safety. The inaammable
premises almost Immediately became

patients were melted by the intense
heat. Some of the lunatics were
burned in their beds and the charred
remains of others we're found hud-

plowed at top speed into the rear of
q local train. Immediately after the
crash three of the shattered cars of
the local train took fire, rendering

wounded, who were pinned fast in
the wreck.
Yesterday evening freight train
was blocked on track No. 4 and the
local received orders to proceed on
the express track to Dunellen and
there take the outside or No. 4 track.
Shortly after receiving orders the
train had to stop for hotboX, which
caused delay, SO that when it got
under way again it was due ut Dunel-
len. The train had just started and
was moving slowly when the Royal
Blue" travelling apparently at full
