One Death Runorcd.
REMOVING THE PATIENTS
Everybody Offered His Services and
 Hundreds Helped.

The story of the removal of the pa- tients from Grace hospital is, in good rsrt, the story of the fire. This is simply because the damage done hv the flames was not nearly as great as many fire that is not given nearly SC much publicity. Of all imaginable buildings. with the possible exception of a prison where the inmates are locked in, a hospital may he imagined as the most horrible scene for a fire. The idea of human suffering is ter rible thing in any event, the. idea of human beings in danger of being help lessly burned to death in their cots where they lie if 1t were not for the efforts of others. upon whom they must depend. is far worse.
 There were many women and girls in the vast crowds that surged back and forth in the streets about the scene of the fire that were completely un- nerved by tha very thought that the natients were helpless and stood there with the tears rolling down their faces as the bundles of white were hurried away in every describable kind of vehicle.
 The milk of human kindness was the one note that bound all New Ha- ven together in sort of fraternal feeling. At least that was so with that i mart of New Haven which was at the scene of the fire. Members of every l social class. workers and professionals of every kind were there. working til the perspiration rolled from them and fill arms and legs were exhausted No distinction can be made between rbose \ ho worked 10 save the building and those who tried to remove the na. tients. The latter was the sole object at first, and the former came subse- ounntIv. To enable the workers with ] in to make sure that every patient wa' removed from the buil'ng the streams of the fire department were not turned on full force at the first by the direc tion of Fire Chief Fancher.

SOLD FARM PROPERTY
Sergeant Dennchy Arrests New Yorker
 Late of North Haven.

After a hard chase and some clever detective work Sergeant Jeremiah Donnehy yesterday afternoon arrested Isaac Dublin for hiring a. farm in the suburbs and then selling everything on the farm and beating it to the city. Isaac hired the, farm of Mrs. Amelia Daab a year ago and gradually sold the furnishings getting in all $S44.?0. He left North Haven and went to New York.
 Yesterday it became known that lie was in town and States Attorney W.T. Hams issued bench warrant for him. Sergeant Donnehy went out for him and found his brother Nathan Dubon at the house in, the rear of 2s2 Cedar street. Nathnn- started to give his brother the tip but the sergeant fol- lowed him. Nathan met Isaac and Is- sac started to run. Sergeant Donnehy sprinted, called to him that his broth CT wanted him. The man slowed up long enough to let the sergeant ar rest him. Detective McAvoy assisted Sergeant Donnehy.

From all indications the work will be accomplished before midnight to- night and it Is almost certain that the cars will run over the new structure tomorrow.

 Theories of the Cause.

 Theories of the Cause.
 It was nine minutes to yesterday afternoon when the first alarm from box 611, the private box at the Grace hospital, was recorded at fire head quarters and immediately upon the arrival of the first company 1t became evident that a second alarm was nec- essary. The second alarm came in just four minutes later, and the first third alarm that has been run in this city in long time came just four . minutes later, bringing the entire three within eight minutes, and ap- prising firemen and public alike that 8 serious fire was on.
 When the first company from the Ellsworth avenue house arrived 1n the scene the fire already had consid- eralble headway and the flames were bursting through the roof blazing fiercely The fire was first discovered by one of the nurses who happened to be on the fourth floor, where the en- ployes are qusrtered, and where the fire started. She at once notified two of the staff doctors, and while they were endeavorng to control the flames with the fire extinguishers, with which the hospital is ea'KpDed, she went down stairs and reported the fire to the assistant superin:arl mt of the hospital, Miss Margaret n. Moffat' who at once sent in the alarm from the private dox of the h ,spital locat- ed at the front of the hospital.
 Where Fire Started.
 The fire got its start near the top of the elevator shaft on the top floor which is used entirely as quarters fer the attaches and where none Cf tire patients are kept. The cause could not be definitely learned and it is likely to prove a mystery. It is known however, that the electric lighting wires which carry the current f-r lighting the new part of the building where the fire occurred pass at this place and 1t is thought that cross d wires may have been the rause 3i the fire. It is suggestei that there may have been smoking going CT among some of the men connected with the hospital but Miss Albaush the superintendent If the institution when asked regarding this, stated tha it was absolutely against the rula [, snoke in the building, and while i was possible that some of the mtr had disobeyed the rules she did nh believe it probable inasmuca as a that time of day none of the meI would naturally be in taeiT quarters

Some Conveyances.

H
 Chief Cowles of the police station had taken his stand at the front door of the hospital by this time. He was there beseised with offers of private equpages foi use in the further re- moval of the patients. From every part Of the city came hacks and wag- ons and autos of every kind. James English's co'ipe, one of the handsomest In the city, was on the spot with liv- cried coachman and footman, and it did commendable service from first to last, making trips to nearby houses many times and later on going to the New Haven hospital again and again. John Kirke of kirke & Co. came out with five of his livery hacks. all of which were pressed into service. At least two of the Adams Express com pany's automobiles were soon on the spot. They made excellent ambulances Pop Warner at the steering wheel sent his machine everywhere with startling ability. Among the owners whose equipages of one kind or an other were seen at the fire were Miss l E. K. Hooker. Wilbur A. Maynard, Edward She arer with a Peerless auto, W T. Dill, Frank H. Barnes with four or five autos, the Holeombe Auto com pany, T. H. Haroll. David F.. Currie l James Fitzpatrick and l.. H.

At the door to tho barn and in front Of the door to the main building of the hospital were stationed a couple of policemen with drawn clubs Everybody without a badge was challenged.

them. One case especially is that of boy who was brought in couple of days ago and who was operated upon for a crushed foot The authorities understand that he was taken to the home of an aunt. They are very anx- ious to get track at once of all who were under their charge at the break ing out of the fire.
 Bell Boy Missing.
 There is just one on the missing list. That Is bell boy by the name of George Underwood As he came from one of the state institutions they are very anxious to learn of his where abouts a once.
 After the fire fifteen iremcn and hos pital authorities went through the burned section to rnske sure that no one had been overlooked and they found that no one had been lost.
 No Operations Yesterday.
 Dr. William Pitt Baldwin stated that there had been no operations at the hospital yesterday. There was one on Thursday, however. That was on an aged woman who was suffering from a tumor. During the fire she started to walk down stairs. A child was born on Tuesday in the maternity ward
 One Death Rumorcd.
 There was report about town last night that there had been one death as the result of the fire. The probable source of the story was in the death of a child at the institution Thursday. Mrs. Hempstock, wife of a motorman in this city and her two children were taken to the hospital. One child died Thursday and the death was reported yesterday. This became confused with the account of the removing Of the others and if was thought that one of them had died

ed It was on the top floor of this structure that the fire started, and while this part of the hospital was en- tirely put out of commission the ,,p- per floor by fire and the lower floors by the perfect flood of water, which was poured into it the older portion of the hospital which contains the of fees and some other rooms, was unin- | jured except for a smaller quantity of water.
 Cost of New Structure. 1 This structure was built at cost of $3s,0oo, which figure covers the actual contract figure for construction ! It is very modern structure, well built, and apparently quite up to date in equipment. To-day it Is a bad wreck, the top floor being gutted by the flames, the entire room is burned off and the three lower floors are wa ter-logged
 Loss About s20,000.
 The loss caused by the fire was comparatively not very large. In fact, | New Haven has had much worse fires l from that standpoint In the past year. The walls of the building are practic- ally intact the three lower floors will probably not require much work after they have dried out to place them in service again, and the top floor con tains the real fire loss Here the building is a wreck and all the con tents of the floor, consisting of the apparel and furniture of the employees and those who occupied it and all the woodword, together with the roof, must be replaced entirely. The loss | will probably be about s20, 900, which figure represents nearly half the value of the structure. and will prob ably be the cost of replacing it in good condition.
 The entire loss is covered by insur- ance, which is held by several differ ent companies
