KING EDWARDS CIVIL LIST.

While II is obvious that there are grounds for

create a bad feeling tending still further TO I'M

Il Is necessary 10 increase the civil list by
another $4,000 or 81 010,0J0 and il has been pro-
posed that the colonies should be called upon 10

BIG FIRE ON BLACKWELL,S
Laundry Burns Loss $4,000
Other Buildings IN DANGER

a IRE which caused great excitement early
TINS morning destroyed the laundry on Black
weHs Island. The loss is estimated at $4,000
Al 10 a. n. It was believed that no lives had
been lost
The laundry is four story building at the
southern end of the island The woman nurses.
training school building lies about thirty feet
south of the laundry. About two hundred feet
north OF the laundry is the City Hospital. with
its seven hundred patients
An east wind alone saved the training schoo,
Had the wind been from the north nothing could
have prevented its destruction wind from,
the south or southwest would have been equally
disastrous.
one OF the sixty women who lived on the top
moor OF the laundry discovered that the place
was on fire at 1855 a. m. She gave the alarm
and all the women were quickly out.
The fire spread quickly. When Engine 40
and the fremen stationed on the island got
there the blaze was Illuminating the East River
for q long distance. From Manhattan it looked
as if all the buildings in the group were
doomed.
The 260 nurses. men and women. in the hos
pital hurried from ward to ward, reassuring the
$50 patients that there was no danger. They
managed to keep panic from the patients.
The Bellevue authorities teIephoned 10 Com
missioner Tully. who lives in Brooklyn, and he
gave by telephone such orders as he could. In
the meantime Engine No. 16 and a crew went
over from East Twenty sixth-st. on the steamer
Thomas Brennan. Two fireboats also answered
the call.
At 2 a. m. 1t was plain that there would be
nothing left OF the laundry. and It was to save
the adjoining buildings then that all efforts were
directed. It was believed the fire was then
under control. What its origin nobody
knew.
Police reserves were sent from the East Fifty
first and East Sixty-seventh SITS. stations
There was no danger to the prisons. as the
nearest was more than half a mile further UP
on the island.
deputy warden of the penitentiary turned
out thirty Of his keepers and TRUSTEES and
they formed a bucket brigade to fight the fire.
Mounting the roofs OF the hospital and the
training school, they stamped out stray brands.
The loss of life. If the main building of the
hospital had caught fire, might have been
frightful in spite of ell precautions. Most of
the patients there are helpless.
