BAD BLAZES.
Woman's Wing Of Taunton In
sane Hospital Quilted.
The 500 Patients Removed to Mems
Department Without Accident.
About S500c00 Damage to State Capt.
tol at Des Moines.

Taunton. Mass, Jan. with fierce
fire burning above their heads and
threatening to destroy the building in
which they were lodged, over 500 fe-
male patients at the Taunton Insane
hospital were marched from the DlaZ-
ing women's wing to a place of safety,
at midnight, last night. The transfer
Of the patients to the mems ward was
accomplished without any loss OF lie,
injury to a single person or undue ex-
element. So excellent was the dlscl-
piine at the institutions that the sleep
ing patients when aroused by the
nurses and attendants followed them
unhestatingly.
The fire broke out in the linen room
on the top floor OF the Womens wing,
shortly before midnight. Although the
whole building was fire proof construc-
ton, the flames caused a heavy loss.
spreading throughout the top floor and
menacing the destruction of the wing.
AS soon as the fire was discovered,
the alarm was sounded from the pri-
vate box on the asylum grounds. and
when the firemen arrived the chief eng
ineer ordered a second alarm. Ordi-
narily steam fire engines are not used
in this city, the pressure in the hy-
drants generally being high enough to
throw a good stream. Last night, how
ever, the pressure was very low and
when line of hose was taken upon a
ladder the water failed to reach the
building. less than five feet away. In
vestigation into the cause of the low
pressure will be made, tomorrow.
The three steam fire engines in the
city department were all summoned to
the scene. Owing to the distance of
the hospital from the center of the city
and the slippery condition of the icy
roads long time elapsed before the
department arrived at the hospital.
Another delay was caused by the diff
Guilty of getting up steam, owing to the
intense cold. The thermometer at the
time registered 10 degrees below zero.
AS soon as the fire broke out, DIR.
John p. Brown. superintendent of the
hospital. marshalled his nurses and at
tendant and the work of transferring
the patients began. Some of the wo-
men We're hysteriCal and excited, but
all followed the attendants blindly
through the Smoke-filcd corridors.
across the central portion of the build
ing. and into the mems wing. Among
the patients transferred was Jane
Toppan, who was suspected of murder
by poisoning and WAS adjudgcd insane
and committed to the Taunton hoSpi-
tai for life.
The normal capacity of the hospital
is $50 inmates but at the present time
9s2 patients are registered there. OF
this number over 500 We're in the wo-
mems wards. and 50 crowded was this
portion of the building that many of
the patients We're obliged to sleep ON
mattresses which had been laid on the
floors of the wards and corridors.
1t is believed that the damage to the
building will exceed $4,000.

SALVATION ARMY USEFUL.

The streets are presumably thoroughfares-
not commons public meeting places How
il may not be wise TO strictly enforce
this principle. Chief Wittnlan testfhes the
usefulness of the Salvation Army to the
public The good work done by this army is
too we'll known 70 comment upon, and the
writer believes, for one. that il is very much
10 the advantage Of this city 10 encourage and
not 10 hinder its work; provided. however,
they are reasonable in regard to length of
meetings. exact locations. etc.
The writer has suggested, however. TO the
Board of Supervisors that the proposed ordi-
nance De adopted with the following modihca-
tions: That meetings Of every kind are pro-
hibited on the public streets and sidewalks Of
this city. except by permit issued by the Board
OF Public Works, giving names of speaker or
speakers, time date and locations of such
meetings. This ordinance makes the speakers
liable we'll the individuals composing the
crowd.
Should TINS ordinance be adopted it will meet
all The requirements OF the original ordinance
and stil meet the objections OF its opponents
II would then be the duty OF the Board of Pub
lie Works TO question into the character Of the
meetings, demanding that they shall be decent
and orderly. Further they would use their
discretion as to the time and place of such
than one meeting on ii at a time.
There is q number OF small streets in the
heart Of the cty-for instance. Union Square
avenue-where meetings could be held without
/ inconvenience 70 any one.
The writer submits that this ordinance as
amended could not possibly work an injustice
TO any one. but, on the other hand, would be
OF great benefit TO the public as a whole
